Falcons signed RT Jawaan Taylor, formerly of the Chiefs, to a one-year, $5 million contract.

08 April 2026

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the deal includes another $1 million in incentives. The move comes less than an hour after Falcons right tackle Kaleb McGary announced his retirement. Taylor was cut by the Chiefs for cap reasons this offseason but is still a capable starter, which is more than enough for a Falcons team now in search of McGary’s replacement. The move also puts less pressure on the Falcons, who are without their first-round pick this year, to address tackle during the draft.

Saints exercised DT Bryan Bresee’s fifth-year team option for 2027.

08 April 2026

The former No. 29 overall pick tallied 4.5 sacks as a part-time player in 2023. He then upped that total to 7.5 in his second season while also playing more snaps. Bresee followed up the breakout campaign with just 2.5 sacks on 30 pressures last year. He also missed two games with a knee injury at the end of the season. Picking up his fifth-year option means the Saints are counting on a return to form for Bresee in the upcoming season.

Falcons RT Kaleb McGary announced his retirement from the NFL after six seasons.

08 April 2026

The former No. 31 overall pick played in Atlanta for six seasons. He missed the 2025 season after suffering an undisclosed leg injury during training camp. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said last month that McGary should be “good to go” for training camp, so it’s unclear if his abrupt retirement is related to the knee issue. McGary made 92 starts for the Falcons over his six seasons and was consistently one of the league’s best run-blocking right tackles.

Giants signed OT Daniel Faalele, formerly of the Ravens.

08 April 2026

Harbaugh won’t be satisfied until every player he coached over his 18 years in Baltimore is on the Giants’ roster. A former fourth-round pick of the Ravens, Faalele was drafted as a tackle but eventually switched to right guard, where he served as the team’s starter for the past two seasons. Faalele didn’t receive much interest in free agency and will be penciled in for a depth role in New York.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports Texas A&M WR KC Concepcion is visiting with the Browns.

08 April 2026

Concepcion already has top-30 visits with the Dolphins and Raiders on the books. While he isn’t in play for the Browns with their No. 6 overall pick, Cleveland also holds the 24th-overall pick, which they got from the Jags last year. That would be a reasonable spot to take Concepcion. The former Aggie went for 919 yards and nine scores in 2025. He also added a rushing touchdown and two punt return scores to the books in his final season of college ball. Concepcion’s versatility and elite pla ...

Browns head coach Todd Monken said he’s “fired up” about the team’s quarterbacks.

08 April 2026

“You couldn’t ask for a better start for the quarterbacks,” Monken said in reference to the QBs’ performance during offseason workouts on Monday. “I was fired up.” For now the Cleveland quarterbacks room includes Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, and Deshaun Watson, 30, who’s coming off two torn Achilles tendons and is slated to make $34.9 million in 2026. Monken said he was encouraged by the quarterbacks’ grasp of the team’s new offensive playbook. There’s a long way to go be ...

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports “some” NFL evaluators see “major upside” in Penn State QB Drew Allar.

08 April 2026

“He’s my favorite quarterback in the draft outside of Mendoza,” an NFL coordinator told Fowler. “In the right system, he can be great. He’s got everything as far as tools. His footwork is an absolute mess. But improve his footwork and he can take off. He deserved better than what he got at Penn State.” The coordinator added that Allar “needs to be in a Kubiak-style system” to succeed in the league. Allar over six games in 2025 averaged 184 passing yards and 1.3 passing scores per ...

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler believes Alabama QB Ty Simpson could be an early Day 2 pick in the 2026 draft.

08 April 2026

Simpson, according to Fowlers, could go “anywhere from 10 to 30 in the first round, but it’s hard to confidently project a home for him yet. Positional needs could push him above his grade, but enough scouts have a second-round grade on him to make early Day 2 a possibility.” Simpson’s draft stock has risen considerably over the past few weeks, as he’s made top-30 pre-draft visits with the Cardinals, Dolphins, and Browns. The Dolphins are reportedly intent on drafting a quarterback to ...

The Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson reports Washington WR Denzel Boston will make a top-30 visit with the Dolphins.

08 April 2026

Boston is set to visit with the Dolphins next week as part of the team’s top-30 visits. The 22-year-old led Washington with 62 receptions for 881 yards last season and has already visited the 49ers while also planning to visit the Steelers. Boston is a big target that would give Miami a new No. 1 receiver after trading away Jaylen Waddle as the team builds back up with Malik Willis at quarterback. The Dolphins are a candidate to take Boston with pick No. 30 or No. 43 in the 2026 draft.

Cardinals signed K Joshua Karty to a one-year contract.

07 April 2026

Karty and DL P.J. Mustipher were exclusive rights free agents and both signed their one-year tenders to return to the Cardinals. Karty joined the Cardinals at the end of last season after beginning his career with the Rams. He’ll get the chance to compete with Chad Ryland for a kicking role in 2026. Mustipher was a steady contributor with the Cardinals’ defensive line rotation and will get a chance to carve out a role once more.

Free agent DT Jay Tufele visited the Lions on Tuesday.

07 April 2026

Tufele, who played out a four-year rookie contract with the Bengals, has never played more than 242 defensive snaps in a season. Billed as an interior run defender, he’s simply been inconsistent to this point. Still entering just his age-27 season, Tufele would be a reasonable depth add.

Raiders re-signed C Jordan Meredith to a one-year deal.

07 April 2026

He was a restricted free agent. Meredith did not play up to his 2024 PFF grade in 2025, falling from 80.8 to 57.7 in a career-best 676 snaps at center. Now clearly behind Tyler Linderbaum, Meredith will look to find a different spot on the line to compete for a starting role. The Raiders also re-signed ERFA Charles Snowden.

SNY’s Connor Hughes reports a source expects Giants DT Dexter Lawrence will “demand $30 million annually.”

07 April 2026

Lawrence actually already has a $26.9 million cap hit, but the AAV of the deal he signed in 2023 is only $20 million a season. He could also simply be seeking more guaranteed money. Hughes notes that Lawrence could command a first-round pick in a trade if one happens, but defaults to believing the Giants will extend him.

Texans acquired LB Marte Mapu and a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Patriots for a 2026 sixth-round pick.

07 April 2026

Mapu will take over a backup LB roster spot and play on special teams for the Texans. He was set to be released prior to this trade, per several media reports. Mapu enters the final year of his rookie contract in 2026.

Texans acquired LB Marte Mapu from the Patriots for a late-round 2027 pick swap.

07 April 2026

Mapu will take over a backup LB roster spot and play on special teams for the Texans. He was set to be released prior to this trade, per several media reports. Mapu enters the final year of his rookie contract in 2026.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Kyle Pitts has signed the franchise tag and reported to OTAs.

07 April 2026

Pitts has locked in a one-year, $15.045 million deal for his age-26 season and, more importantly, will get in early work in new Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski’s system. Pitts has the potential to be a huge part of the Falcons game plan in 2026 and may go a bit underlooked in fantasy football because of his post-post-post-post-hype sleeper syndrome and the quarterback situation. He remains outside the top 75 picks in most formats.

Buccaneers signed WR David Sills, formerly of the Falcons.

07 April 2026

Sills, who turns 30 in May, had a career-high 18/191/2 receiving line that mostly came down the stretch as Drake London was sidelined. He’s likely just a depth piece here to help former Falcons OC Zac Robinson teach The System to Tampa’s main wideouts.

Dolphins RB De’Von Achane did not report to voluntary OTAs.

07 April 2026

Achane is in the final year of his rookie contract and is undoubtedly looking for a major extension. Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley alluded to that when he told reporters that it’s “part of the business” when asked about Achane not showing. We wouldn’t be surprised if Achane’s absence (until mandatory sessions) is a theme going forward pending a new contract.

Giants coach John Harbaugh said Malik Nabers (knee) won’t be on the field until “in to training camp and closer to the season.”

07 April 2026

This is about what we expected, and about what Joe Schoen said in January, but it’s good to know that there’s been no setback along the way. It would not be surprising if Nabers opened up camp on the PUP list. It still sounds like there’s a real chance he’ll be ready to go for Week 1 after tearing his ACL in early October.

Giants coach John Harbaugh, asked about Dexter Lawrence’s trade request, said “I’m not surprised by it. We’ll try to work through it.”

07 April 2026

He added that “the prospects are high” on a Lawrence return to the Giants, before noting “I don’t know if granting the request is really the right way to say it, because it doesn’t really work that way. It’s not like a Christmas gift. It’s business. The business is to be the best football team we can be.” It sounds like the Giants have no interest in moving on from Lawrence. The New Jersey Star-Ledger’s Art Stapleton reported earlier today that he expects Lawrence to get a new ...
