Russini says this is “based on conversations with several teams.” She also adds that the Chiefs “remain very much in the mix to re-sign” Kelce, who will be a free agent when the new league year begins this week. Kelce, 36, has been rumored to be considering a return next season over retirement, and this is yet another report that suggests he’ll likely play in 2026. While he will be free to speak with other teams, it would be surprising to see him play for anyone other than the Chiefs i ...08 March 2026
Ryland has spent the last two seasons with the Cardinals, converting on 81.5 percent of his field goal attempts over that span while going 10-of-14 from 50-plus yards. The 26-year-old kicker was 6-of-10 from that distance in 2025 and also made all 36 of his extra point attempts. The decision to bring back Ryland was a no-brainer for head coach Mike LaFleur, although he’ll likely face competition for the kicking job after the Cards brough in Josh Karty last December.08 March 2026
There has been nothing to suggest that the Jaguars would be open to dealing Thomas, whose down 2025 season had many talking about a potential trade, especially with Parker Washington emerging and Jakobi Meyers now in town. That said, Jones said the Jaguars “value the 2024 first rounder” and believes trading Thomas isn’t on the table at this time. Thomas erupted for 87-1,282-10 as a rookie but as his numbers fall off to a pedestrian 48-707-2 in 14 games last season. A bounce back in 2026 wo ...08 March 2026

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, this “simple restructure” will reduce Banks’ 2026 cap hit down to $24.8 million. Banks, who was drafted in the second round by the Packers back in 2021, signed a four-year contract with the team last offseason and is under contract through 2028. The five-year vet started 14 of the 15 games he appeared in for the Packers in 2025.08 March 2026
We’ve seen little indication that Flacco would be in play for a starting job anywhere to this point, so a return to the Bengals to backup Joe Burrow could be in the cards for the 41-year-old. Flacco played reasonably well last year in the circumstances and did an admirable job of boosting Ja’Marr Chase’s fantasy points after Jake Browning left many bank examiners busy in the first month of the season. Flacco has been mentioned as someone the Falcons could use as a bridge until Michael Peni ...08 March 2026
It will keep him around in 2026 and, as with James Conner’s re-working, is almost certainly a salary cut after he missed the entire 2025 season with an undisclosed injury. We’re a little surprised this was a priority for Arizona as Murphy-Bunting has not been an appreciably good player since his 2022 walk season with the Buccaneers, but the Cardinals have better information on his injury than we do.08 March 2026
The good news about the restructure is that it will keep Conner in Arizona next year, giving him a real shot to head the backfield again depending on how his foot/ankle injury rehab is coming along. Because of how it was reported, it’s almost certainly actually a pay cut for Conner, who would likely have faced a tough market. Conner and fellow injury rehabber Trey Benson figure to again split carries in Arizona in 2026 if both are healthy.08 March 2026
$10 million of it is guaranteed. The Broncos have been rumored to want to keep both Strnad and Alex Singleton, potentially signaling a release for Dre Greenlaw after an injury-plagued year. Strnad, 29, had the best season of his career last year for the Broncos, finishing with a 72.1 PFF defensive grade.08 March 2026
He points out that Moore and Caleb Williams didn’t jive early in the season because Williams wasn’t delivering on-time passes often enough early in the year, and then Moore became less emphasized in their offense later in the season. It is, to some extent, Buscaglia’s job to sell this trade to Bills fans after the cost ballooned to a second-round pick and guaranteed money in 2028. Still, we mostly believe in his film study, and the contract and cost all point to Moore being the focal point ...08 March 2026
Throw another team name on the pile. This makes plenty of sense as the Commanders released starting center Tyler Biadasz (recently signed by the Chargers) ahead of free agency. Linderbaum is going to cash in big time on being the best available offensive lineman on the market, should he get there.08 March 2026
The Cowboys lost out on the Maxx Crosby trade sweepstakes and will have to pivot — they reportedly had some interest in Hendrickson at the deadline. Oweh probably makes more sense as a younger upside swing, and this is the third of four NFC East teams in on Jaelan Phillips that we’ve heard about.08 March 2026
The 27-year-old was benched in Vegas’ Week 18 win over the Chiefs after completing one of four passes for three yards and an interception. His other start was one of the worst games any quarterback had all season — a 15-of-25, 64-yard, dead-on-arrival clunker in a 31-0 loss to the Eagles. Perhaps Pickett can resurrect himself in a better situation.08 March 2026
Duggan says he’d bet on the high end of that. Of New York’s three main free agents, Eluemunor is the one that they still seem to have some chance of retaining. Coming off a two-year, $14 million bargain contract, Eluemunor figures to strike it big in free agency as one of the few tackles of renown on the market.08 March 2026
If so, the Giants “can’t/won’t go there,” per Duggan. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler believes the Titans, Chiefs, Broncos, and Commanders — as well as the incumbent Seahawks — are teams to watch for Walker, who figures to be the belle of the running back free-agent market ball. Coming off his Super Bowl MVP, we wouldn’t be totally surprised if the market got this high for Walker, but it should be noted that Fowler’s prediction was a market more in the range of $12 million a season.08 March 2026
With limited cap space and the ability to have the trading team absorb some of a player’s cap hit, it makes plenty of sense for the Browns to dive back into this. It would be a blow to Jerry Jeudy’s already-faltering fantasy football value if the Browns brought in another wideout, though it’s possible they settle for someone even less-renowned than Jeudy.08 March 2026
The deal contains $11 million guaranteed in the form of a signing bonus. Rhyan, only 26, would have been a good bet to hold value through his twenties. He played both right guard and center last year, finishing with a career-best PFF run block grade of 65.6. This signing likely seals that Elgton Jenkins will be traded or released.08 March 2026
Isn’t it that way for all of us, though. She continues that the team is “possibly looking to get younger and spend less at this position.” Kamara’s contract adjustment earlier this week was unusual, and Terrell noted that it freed up cap space “while providing flexibility if they part ways with the running back this year.” It would not be surprising at all if the Saints released Kamara in the coming days.08 March 2026
This is the majority of the list that Jonathan Jones had earlier this week, minus the Bills who have since acquired DJ Moore. Given the lack of an established franchise quarterback we’d be surprised if the Giants made it to the end of Evans’ deliberations. The other three teams all make plenty of sense, though it should be noted that several of the sourced men have cautioned against the idea that Evans would leave.08 March 2026
Cimini continues: “they appear willing to chalk up last season to a dysfunctional situation in Las Vegas.” Cimini’s overview of the Jets quarterback situation hits all the notes we’ve been on in the blurb streets over the past month: Carson Wentz is viewed as the most likely preference of the free agents, Kyler Murray should have better options, and Jacoby Brissett has ties to both Frank Reich and Aaron Glenn while his availability via trade isn’t easily sussed out. But this is yet ano ...
