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.

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.06 March 2026
His departure will clear the Vikings cap sheet a bit more, saving them some cap space ahead of the new league year. Kelly played nine seasons with the Colts and made four Pro Bowls and a second-team All-Pro Team in 2020. He was still playing well this past year, as he finished with an 82.2 PFF offensive grade. But concussions began to keep him sidelined longer and longer, and he eventually went on season-ending injured reserve for them in December. Kelly probably will get some Ring of Honor talk ...06 March 2026
Perhaps this will change if and when a Malik Willis signing hits, but for now the Cardinals haven’t shown much interest in moving on from their veteran signal caller. Brissett went 1-11 as a starter last season, but adeptly blossomed in the desert with a 23-6 touchdown-to-interception ratio and also nearly threw for 3,500 yards in just 12 starts. We’re a little surprised there hasn’t been more interest in him from non-Jets teams this offseason.06 March 2026
He begins the offseason as the likely backup to Omarion Hampton. Vidal had a 155/643/3 rushing line last year and managed a few big weeks against weaker run defenses. We wouldn’t be totally surprised if Vidal continued to be fantasy-interesting this year, especially given how often Hampton was banged up in his first season in the NFL.06 March 2026
Terms weren’t immediately available, but it’s likely a minimum contract or close to it. Patterson managed a 41/159/1 line as Los Angeles’ No. 3 back last season and will attempt to reprise that role in 2026. This doesn’t give him a safe roster spot for next year, but it likely gives him an inside track at one.06 March 2026
Every Lamar Jackson contract negotiation seems to drag on forever because Lamar Jackson is his own agent. The Ravens would prefer not to restructure Jackson’s deal because it pushes more money into the 2027 season, potentially giving Jackson more leverage for the negotiation. The Ravens have talked about getting this extension done since before the 2025 season. This is essentially deadline time for Baltimore because they need the cap space to deal with 2026’s free agency class, especially im ...06 March 2026
Murray appears to want to sign with the Vikings the most, to which Breer notes “the Vikings are mulling their options,” which could mean they at the very least don’t see Murray as a slam-dunk No. 1 quarterback on the market. Breer also tosses out the Jets, Dolphins, and Falcons as places of interest for Murray. Specifically for the Colts, he notes that it would ease Daniel Jones’ Achilles rehab to have a viable starter in place for the early season. Reading between the lines, it sounds l ...06 March 2026
This is interesting in the wake of Alvin Kamara’s contract restructuring, which some outside observers have speculated could foreshadow a retirement. We haven’t seen the Saints bandied around as a running back market yet, but the room is certainly barren past Kamara. Etienne should do quite well for himself by Wednesday.06 March 2026
All the Texans did in the last calendar year when ask about whether Mixon would play in 2025 or 2026 is answer questions that they had to preface with “I’m not trying to be evasive, but...” So, we’re not trying to be evasive, but we genuinely are not sure if Mixon will play again. He turns 30 in July and is now a year removed from what was a pretty stellar 2024 campaign with the Texans. He surely has the talent to resurface somewhere, but is he healthy? And if not, will he ever be?06 March 2026
Burks had a Catch Of The Year candidate on his lone touchdown catch last season, finishing with a 10/130/1 line in spot duty. He’s not likely to start out the year in the Commanders starting three-wide, but he’s a reasonable depth option and should have a good shot to win a roster spot.06 March 2026
Stewart started for the Texans in the middle of the season after the team released C.J. Gardner-Johnson, then was lost in Week 10 to a season-ending quad injury. He’ll likely compete for a starting spot again in 2026 as a priority re-sign for the Texans.06 March 2026
The Packers will either trade or release the former No. 12 overall pick from the 2019 NFL Draft, but his time in Green Bay appears to be over. Gary is due to make $19.5 million in 2026, but has no guaranteed money left on his deal, meaning the team will save that money if they were to release him and designate him as a post-June 1 cut. Gary, will be 28 next season and has totaled 7.5 sacks in each of the last two seasons while appearing in 33 of a possible 34 games. He was named to the Pro Bowl ...06 March 2026
After failing to find a trade partner for Gary, the Packers have opted to release the No. 12 pick from the 2019 NFL Draft. The veteran pass-rusher was due to make $19.5 million in 2026, but had no guaranteed money left on, meaning the team will save that money if they designate him as a post-June 1 cut. Gary, who will be 28 next season, has totaled 7.5 sacks in each of the last two seasons while appearing in 33 of a possible 34 games. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2024 and played on the second ...06 March 2026
A cornerstone of the Lions’ franchise since 2016, Decker requested and was granted his release after contract negotiations between him and the team broke down, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Decker announced in late February that he would return for the 2026 season, and while the belief was he would continue to play for the Lions, the 10-year vet will now be finding a new place to call home. Decker tied a season-low last season when he allowed just two sacks on 551 pass block snaps, and wa ...
