Anzalone was with the Lions when Aaron Glenn was their defensive coordinator, and Rosenblatt zeroed in on a quote from Glenn at the combine where he noted “I missed being able to be in the fire with those guys, being able to talk to the MIKE linebacker, being able to be in the meeting rooms and trying to put a game plan together to be successful against another team.” Anzalone was said MIKE linebacker. And it would make plenty of sense if he was Glenn’s MIKE again in 2026.03 March 2026
Wolfe talked with both Bills GM Brandon Beane and HC Joe Brady, both of whom professed they’d like to keep Coleman and said they think he can have a career year. We’re not exactly calling for a breakout with Coleman here — his stock is clearly down from where it was last year — but if he makes it into the starting lineup with Josh Allen it wouldn’t be completely surprising if he turned it around either. Wolfe believes the Bills would need a Day 2 pick to move on from Coleman, which is ...03 March 2026
Seems like they may have known about Drew Dalman’s retirement before we did. Biadasz played reasonably for the Commanders last season and would seem like a solid Dalman replacement given the alternatives.03 March 2026
The Colts are very motivated to get Pierce’s contract done before free agency opens, but transition tagging Daniel Jones doesn’t actually guarantee Jones will be on the roster next year — something that Pierce has been rumored to definitively want. It’s also possible that Pierce could simply get way, way more in free agency than the Colts are willing to offer. It would not be surprising if Pierce did better than the $27.3 million franchise tag number for wideouts on the market, per Boyd ...

Jennings’ market hasn’t really been as leaky as Robinson (a rumored Titans target) and Shaheed (Raiders with Klint Kubiak, Buffalo, a return to Seattle all possibilities) but he does stand to be one of the winners of free agency after not getting a contract adjustment in 2025. He finished with a 55/643/9 receiving line in 15 games — some of which he was clearly playing through injuries — and could be a big-bodied possession receiver for a team lacking one.03 March 2026
This gives Indianapolis the “right of first refusal” in negotiations with Jones, it’s the first time a transition tag has been issued to a quarterback since Jeff George. This tag means the Colts cannot tag Alec Pierce, so the wideout could hit free agency if a deal isn’t worked out. For Jones, this is a continuation of a legendary career of bag-getting, earning at least $37.8 million despite suffering a late-season torn Achilles that threatens his early-season availability. It’s hard t ...03 March 2026
Entering his age-32 season off an injury-riddled 2025 campaign, Hendrickson figures to be one of the top free agents on the board on the strength of his 2024 season where he finished second in Defensive Player of the Year voting and led the league with 17.5 sacks. He’ll likely have a shorter deal ala Danielle Hunter, but should be a real threat to make over $20MM a season. It signals the end of a contentious process where the Bengals and Hendrickson could not agree on his value for multiple of ...03 March 2026
Dalman had just landed a three-year, $42 million contract from the Bears last offseason, so this stunning move shakes up their interior line continuity badly. Dalman finished his lone season with the Bears with a 72.6 PFF offensive grade, his third year in a row rating as a quality center. He was named to the Pro Bowl for his efforts. This is a legitimate stunner — rarely do you see a 27-year-old stepping away in the prime of his career on a great contract. The Bears are now back on the center ...03 March 2026
Lucas played 293 snaps as a swing tackle for the Browns last year, culminating in a woeful 42.7 PFF blocking grade. It was his worst result in the grading in some time and it’s possible he can bounce back. Entering would be his age-35 season, it’s also possible this is simply the end.03 March 2026
The 2023 third-rounder became a vagabond in 2025, playing for the 49ers, Bears, and Commanders. He’ll likely get another crack to win a starting job again in 2026 somewhere. He was 18-of-20 on field goal attempts for the Bears and Commanders after a Week 1 hail of misses had him released in San Francisco.03 March 2026
Wouldn’t be the first trade of regrets between the Browns and Colts for a Richardson. The Vikings and Richardson reportedly have mutual interest, but the Browns are the second team we’ve seen publicly linked to them by the sourced men. It’s hard to fault any offensive-minded head coach for seeing Richardson’s tools and thinking they can work with them, but it’s going to be a major heat check by whoever ultimately takes the risk.03 March 2026
The bit on him in The Athletic’s article about the Bears at the combine bounces in a few different directions, noting that a third- or fourth-round pick could be enough to acquire him from Chicago. It also quotes a league source saying: “It’s clear to me Caleb [Williams] doesn’t have a ton of trust in DJ. I don’t think DJ has lost a step or anything like that. All the physical ability is still there. But at times, that’s what it boils down to. If your quarterback, for whatever reason ...03 March 2026
The Rams, as Athletic beat Nate Atkins notes, sound like a team “ready to be aggressive to maximize Matthew Stafford’s window.” Snead does have an extra first-round pick in his pocket due to last year’s James Pearce trade with the Falcons. While it’s been bandied about often that they could use the pick to select Stafford’s successor at quarterback, they could also simply trade it for someone to help them soar above the Seahawks right now. Stay tuned.03 March 2026
This is the difference between the franchise tag and the transition tag for the Colts, as the transition tag would still allow other teams to talk to Jones and perhaps make him an offer the Colts couldn’t match. The Vikings reportedly were willing to offer Jones the same contract he got from the Colts last offseason, so it would be no surprise that they’d be one of his biggest suitors if he were available again. We’re anticipating a tag to come down for Jones in the next few hours, but unt ...03 March 2026
Bobo had just two catches for 20 yards in the regular season, though he honked all over the Rams for a touchdown in the NFC Championship game. We wouldn’t be surprised if he came back to the Seahawks, as non-tenders are often value calculations versus something closer to the league minimum for end of roster players.03 March 2026
Heath finished last year with a 6/86 line for the Packers and was a healthy scratch after signing with the Falcons in December. The 25-year-old offers special teams experience and will likely look to catch on as a veteran depth piece somewhere.03 March 2026
The league’s most popular bridge quarterback could be available again if the Cardinals opt to bring in Jimmy Garoppolo, new HC Mike LaFleur’s bestie. Jets OC Frank Reich coached Brissett in Indianapolis, and Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski coached Brissett with the Browns. He’d be an interesting fit in both places, though his fantasy stock will likely take a tumble from the pass-first-and-eternally-trail 2025 Cardinals.03 March 2026
Nailor didn’t exactly cook last year in Minnesota, finishing with a 26/395/4 receiving line, but nobody ate well with J.J. McCarthy and Carson Wentz. One NFC executive told Lewis that he could see Nailor producing an 80-catch season in the future, and Lewis believes he’s in line to make “between $12 and $15 million” per season. If that sounds like someone that could be fantasy interesting to you, well, it sounds that way to us. How interesting he will be depends mostly on where he lands, ...03 March 2026
It’s notable that Zrebiec still predicts the Ravens will hold on to Linderbaum, betting on him to take less money to stay in Baltimore on an annual contender. But it’s hard to believe he couldn’t do better on the open market, and if he gets to the open tampering period unsigned, he’s probably “as good as gone” in Zrebiec’s words.03 March 2026
A non-update update. It isn’t the deal that it was last year, where thoughts of a Stafford trade became one of the focal points of the combine, but Stafford probably does deserve a contract adjustment after winning the MVP. The Rams would face no constraints to give him a raise, as they enter the offseason with $40 million in cap space before they even make any adjustments. More importantly, there’s been zero talk of him leaving the Rams this offseason.
