That will make at least one more season of Badie cutting into RJ Harvey’s workload on third down. Badie played on 223 snaps in 2025 and the Broncos passed on 207 of them. Expect some catches, is what we’re saying.07 March 2026
The Cowboys are pleased with Malik Davis, Jaydon Blue, and Phil Mafah backing up Javonte Williams. Sanders went to season-ending injured reserve in October with a knee/ankle injury. Entering his age-29 season, he’ll likely have to fight to make a roster in 2026.06 March 2026
Teams have believed Thibodeaux has been available for a while, but this is the first report we’ve seen noting that he’s expected to be moved. Thibodeaux is entering his fifth-year option season and moving him would free up $15 million in cap space for the Giants. A Thibodeaux trade would perhaps portend a more active offseason than expected for John Harbaugh’s crew.06 March 2026
Newton adds “even if it means releasing Dalton and leaving $3.83 million in dead cap money.” Things really crashed down hard from the Andy Dalton Combine “getting calls” experience. Dalton, who turns 39 in October, likely proved that he just wasn’t a good enough backup last year in his start against the Bills to keep paying a premium on. It wouldn’t be surprising if the Panthers cut him.

It guarantees him a $5.8 million salary. Hickman played a career-high 1,042 snaps in 2025, even playing down in the box more than he used to, and came up with a career-high 75.3 PFF coverage grade. A signing team would have to offer the Browns a second-round pick to sign Hickman, making it extremely unlikely he’ll move this offseason.06 March 2026
It’s the first sniff of free agency buzz we’ve gotten on White, which goes to show you how few teams view him as a top-line back. However, DiRocco believes White could fit in as a great screen-pass catcher and could share the workload with incumbent Bhayshul Tuten. Gainwell could also fit into that role. Overall this is a very encouraging report for Tuten’s fantasy value, as it doesn’t seem like the Jaguars want to put a major obstacle ahead of him on the depth chart.06 March 2026
Cleveland’s long-time guard will hit free agency and has already announced he won’t return to the Browns after being benched at points towards the end of the season. Teller finished with a 62.2 PFF offensive grade, his second season in a row under 70 as he struggled through injuries. It’s possible he’s not a star guard anymore, but it certainly seems like NFL teams believe he has something left in the tank.06 March 2026
Woefully ineffective for the Raiders, Cappa was benched after Week 3 and only wound up hitting 538 snaps on the season after injuries forced him into the lineup from Week 13 on. Cappa enters his age-31 season off back-to-back release-worthy seasons and likely won’t be guaranteed anything if he wants to continue playing.06 March 2026
Bradbury has been a capable-if-unexciting center for a few years now, and even though the Patriots made it the Super Bowl he posted his worst PFF run blocking grade of his career in the process. Bradbury has one year remaining on a two-year contract signed last offseason. He may not be Chicago’s only attempt to address the sudden retirement of Drew Dalman, but he offers them a capable floor.06 March 2026
The Joshua Palmer fantasy stock could be in shambles, folks. Buscaglia connects the Bills to a wide assortment of receivers, notably stopping for a beat on Romeo Doubs, Jalen Nailor, and Calvin Austin as particularly good fits for Buffalo. Moore and Khalil Shakir are the two easy top targets, any other additions would likely sink Palmer into a background role in the second year of his contract.06 March 2026
He ultimately predicts (not reports) the Patriots will sign Pierce to a four-year, $104 million contract. It’s certainly an outcome that would be unsurprising at this point, though Dianna Russini has mentioned that the price tag could continue to climb on Pierce over the weekend. We were expecting the Patriots to be one of the main teams in the race for Pierce the second they released Stefon Diggs and this article does nothing to dissuade us from this notion.06 March 2026
Boyd predicts (but doesn’t report) that Pierce will leave in free agency, and projects a quick pivot that would include Michael Pittman staying with the team and the Colts chasing another receiver to replace Pierce outside. Shaheed does fit the need for speed even if he doesn’t exactly have the contested-catch ability that Pierce leads with. Shaheed has already been linked to the Commanders, Bills, and Raiders this offseason — though the Bills have since traded for DJ Moore.06 March 2026
Schultz has never seemed like a perfect solution for the Texans since joining the team in 2023, but they keep coming up with little in the way of alternatives. He’ll likely remain in the low-end TE1/high-end TE2 pool as he enters his age-30 season. It’s hard to say confidently based on early reporting what the long-term cap impact of this is, but the 2027 extension will clash with a void year so perhaps the Texans already felt committed to him for that season in some way.06 March 2026
He also links Romeo Doubs to the 49ers, who will have a big hole at wideout with the expected release of Brandon Aiyuk and impending free agency of Jauan Jennings. We’ve yet to see any beat or any of the sources report Jennings as someone the 49ers believe will return. The 49ers do hypothetically have the cap space to be involved in the Pierce sweepstakes if they’d like to be, but we’d be surprised if they won a bidding war against the major salary cap space super powers.06 March 2026
The Athletic’s Josh Kendall answered a mailbag question about this by simply saying “whether or not they listen is another question” and noting that Kevin Stefanski sounded “very much like he wanted to coach Pitts for a year.” So the open question on both sides is whether the Falcons would actually be willing to hear out an offer. It’s possible the Falcons get an offer they can’t refuse, but it sounds like based on the reporting the Falcons are more likely to sit tight on Pitts thr ...06 March 2026
Hill has a $3.8 million cap figure, of which the Ravens can save $3.1 million with a release. He missed the final six weeks of the season with a long-term neck injury, and turns 29 next November. Zrebiec brought up this idea in mentioning that the Ravens could chase a running back in the lower rounds of the draft to add to the room behind Derrick Henry.06 March 2026
Rosenblatt concludes that Smith’s availability and his lack of cost given his ability to play on an offset contract that should see him making the minimum will be pluses for the Jets. Smith, who was finally given walking papers earlier today, still has fans around the league and could be a reasonable one-year stopgap for the Jets. Brissett is seen as less likely by Rosenblatt because he has heard conflicting things about what Brissett might cost — we just blurbed about the Cardinals being un ...06 March 2026
A two-year, $29 million contract was lavished on Tomlinson last offseason as Jonathan Gannon tried to fix the defense. Instead, Tomlinson posted a career-worst 43.2 PFF defensive grade. His release frees up roughly $9.4 million in cap space.06 March 2026
Rapp underwent knee surgery at midseason and Sean McDermott — never one to spell out an injury situation — immediately said they didn’t think Rapp would play again in 2025. Entering his age-29 season, if Rapp is healthy, the guess is he’ll get a one-year contract somewhere and perhaps a chance to start. The Bills also cut ties with CB Dane Jackson.06 March 2026
Giants fans will always have the moment in Week 3 when Hudson committed penalties on four straight plays. The move clears $5.4 million in cap space. Hudson will search for swing tackle work on a new team.
