A 2022 third-round pick of the Cardinals, Thomas ended up in Cleveland following a brief sojourn with the Chiefs. He notched 2.5 sacks in Cleveland last season. Seemingly maxed out as a 300-snap pass-rushing specialist, Thomas is headed into his age-26 campaign.09 March 2026
He’ll remain the backup behind Jayden Daniels in Washington. Mariota runs enough to remain a stable backup and superflex QB2 when he is on the field. Things will change a bit in Washington in 2026 without Kliff Kingsbury, but Mariota is in a decent spot to find work behind Daniels and it’s a worthwhile investment for the Commanders.09 March 2026
One of the premier pass-rushers on the open market is now heading to Tennessee. Franklin-Myers will receive $42 million in guaranteed money on his new deal and reunite with Robert Saleh, with whom he spent three seasons during their time with the Jets. Franklin-Myers has totaled 14.5 sacks and 14 TFLs over the last two seasons while racking up 65 tackles. He’s played primarily on pass downs over that span, but could see more usage now that he’s back with Saleh.09 March 2026
The Giants were rumored to be interested in Edmunds before he was released on Thursday, and that comes to fruition here. Edmunds got $23.7 million guaranteed in the deal. Entering his age-28 season, he figures to replace Bobby Okereke as the main three-down linebacker in New York.

The deal reportedly includes $11 million guaranteed. Two months shy of his 30th birthday, Key is something of a journeyman who spent the past three seasons in Nashville. Indianapolis will be his sixth different NFL home. A rotational pass rusher good for a yearly 4-6 sacks, Key should be in for 500-600 snaps in Indy.09 March 2026
The deal includes "$32 million fully guaranteed.” This is standard starting cornerback money for a cap-flushed Titans squad that needed help at the back end of its defense. A 2022 third-rounder who just finished up his rookie contract, Flott had trouble staying healthy in New York City, though he missed “only” three games each of the past three seasons. He has three career picks, earning decent enough coverage marks from Pro Football Focus. Still only 24 years old, it’s possible Flott di ...09 March 2026
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero said this makes Kolar “the NFL’s highest-paid blocking tight end.” We’re not sure that’s something that can be officially verified, but it does pass the smell test. As many former Ravens have done, Kolar now goes from playing under John Harbaugh in Baltimore to Jim Harbaugh in LA. With the Chargers also signing Alec Ingold today, it’s clear Mike McDaniel is picking the guys he needs to run his offense. Kolar only caught 10 passes for 142 yards and two to ...09 March 2026

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the deal includes $32.4 million guaranteed. The No. 17 overall pick of the 2022 Draft, Johnson didn’t have a particularly great Chargers career, but it was a healthy one. He rarely missed a snap as he appeared in 66-of-68 regular season contests. The team experimented with him at center last offseason, but he ultimately remained at guard. We doubt new Browns head coach Todd Monken is going to find untapped potential missed by Jim Harbaugh, but Johnson is at least ...09 March 2026
Robinson had a 65.0 PFF pass rush grade in 135 pass rushes last year, a vast improvement from his 2022-2024 grades. The Texans will attempt to find out if it was a legitimate step forward. Robinson figures to be part of the EDGE room in 2026 if he makes the roster.09 March 2026
The Buccaneers lifer will now work with Brock Purdy in the Bay Area. A broken collarbone ruined Evans’ 2025 season, but it’s hard to believe if he’s healthy he won’t remain a stalwart WR2 in what profiles to be an improved passing game fit. Evans will take Jauan Jennings’ role with Ricky Pearsall on the other side of the formation, and he’ll do what Jennings did last year — box out smaller defensive backs and win contested balls. Jennings had nine touchdowns last year despite missi ...09 March 2026
Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the deal includes $21 million guaranteed. Bush struggled mightily while on his rookie contract in Pittsburgh. The Browns eventually took a flyer on him after a year in Seattle and were rewarded with the two best seasons of his career. He started all 17 games in 2025 and led the Browns with 125 tackles. More importantly, Bush notched two sacks, two forced fumbles, and three interceptions, two of which he returned for touchdowns. If he can sustain that level of play, Bu ...09 March 2026
This does not preclude 24-year-old Mitchell from returning to Baltimore, it just means the Ravens weren’t willing to pay him the “low” RFA amount of $3.547 million. It’s actually quite possible he returns for a more team-friendly sum. Returning from a torn ACL last season, pint-sized Mitchell neared six yards per carry in the Ravens’ run-friendly offense, though he sometimes drew the ire of former head coach John Harbaugh. Wherever Mitchell ends up, he is likely to remain a gadget play ...09 March 2026
The spirit of the 2021 Saints is alive in New York. Onyemata, entering his age-34 season, will help shore up the run defense for the Jets. Onyemata had a 78.2 PFF defensive grade last year and figures to start up front for the Jets as they try to keep Aaron Glenn gainfully employed.09 March 2026

Dean continued to play well for the Buccaneers in 2025, earning a PFF coverage grade of 75.9 while allowing just 25 receptions for 311 yards and one touchdown in 14 games. Dean joins a secondary that recently re-signed Asante Samuel Jr., and still has Joey Porter Jr. under contract for one more season. All three corners have spent most of their career playing on the outside, so it will be interesting to see how the new coaching regime manages what looks to be a solid secondary.09 March 2026
It’s a huge investment on a position the Saints desperately wanted to fill — to the point where Kellen Moore literally told reporters at the combine that he needed to fix the guard spot. Edwards had a 70.3 PFF grade in 2025 and enters his age-29 season in 2026. He should help Travis Etienne build on his walk year with the Jaguars in 2026.09 March 2026
Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Nailor will receive $23 million in guaranteed money on his deal. The former sixth-round pick has caught just 69 passes in his four-year career while being buried behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, but has totaled 57-858-10 over his last two seasons. During the early portion of his career he played primarily on the outside, but Nailor saw a career-high 60.1 percent of his snaps come in the slot last season, per PFF. He joins a thin Raiders receiver room that w ...09 March 2026
Gillan, New York’s punter over the past four seasons, will likely catch on elsewhere this offseason after parting ways with the Giants and their new regime. Gillan’s net punting average (38 yards) was among the worst in the NFL last season. He had just 17 punts inside the 20 yard line.
