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.

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.03 March 2026
Oweh came over in a midseason trade and immediately heated up for the Chargers, finishing with 7.5 sacks in just 12 games with the Bolts. Entering his age-28 season, the Chargers apparently don’t think him worthy of the franchise tag. This report seems to say that if Oweh hits free agency, there’s a real chance he’ll wind up elsewhere. If so, Popper posits, the team could use their first-round pick on a replacement for Oweh on the edge.03 March 2026
There were some thoughts that the Steelers could move on from Ramsey, who is entering his age-32 season and has a $19.5 million cap hit, none of which is guaranteed. They apparently value his instincts enough to keep on keeping on with the veteran corner, who has shifted into more of a nickel and safety role as he’s aged.03 March 2026
“A deal feels possible. But long way to go,” Holder concludes. Pierce would be likely to get over $30 million a year if he hit free agency, and with Daniel Jones now appearing to shift to the main target of a Colts tag, it’s imperative that Indianapolis doesn’t let Pierce get past the franchise tag deadline today without a deal. We see no reason for Pierce to not explore free agency, but sometimes players opt for certainty. Holder categorizes Jones’ situation as “also fluid.”03 March 2026
Higbee is still deciding on his future. The 33-year-old lifelong Ram was lost in the 3TE set shuffle last year and wouldn’t figure to be an interesting fantasy tight end if he re-signed in Los Angeles.03 March 2026
The Vikings, per Schefter, “would like to keep Greenard, but they also have salary cap issues they’re working through that have led to these trade conversations.” If he remains on the Vikings roster this season, Greenard will be a $22.3 million hit against the salary cap. Hampered by a shoulder injury, Geenard in 2025 recorded three sacks after back to back seasons with at least a dozen sacks. He should see significant interest from teams in need of pass rushing help.03 March 2026

Simpson would be a developmental project for Rams head coach Sean McVay if LA spent a draft pick on the Alabama product this spring. Howe said Simpson is considered “a high-level processor who wins before the snap, and his intangibles are through the roof. His ceiling might be as a Purdy type, though Purdy has a thicker frame and Simpson’s durability and shortage of starting experience are concerns.”03 March 2026
Jones is signed through the 2026 season but could see significant interest from quarterback-needy teams this spring. Howe said “with that talented roster and coach Kyle Shanahan, the Niners don’t want a season to go to waste if Purdy goes down again. Since Jones was a major reason the Niners stayed afloat in 2025, they could rightfully be stubborn and hold out for a first-round offer.” This, along with a recent report that the market for Jones is not expected to be “robust,” suggests t ...
