Gardner-Johnson can make up to $6 million this year. The 28-year-old safety allowed a career-high 71.4 percent catch rate playing for both the Texans and Bears last season. He also forced four incompletions, intercepted two passes, recorded 51 solo tackles and notched three TFLs. He may help fill former Bills CB Taron Johnson’s vacated slot cornerback role. The Bills traded Johnson to the Raiders on Sunday.12 March 2026
The signing reunites Adams with former Jets head coach and new Titans head coach Robert Saleh. The two spent three seasons together in New York from 2022-2024. Saleh took the Jets job in 2021. The Jets signed Adams as an undrafted free agent in 2022. His 2025 season ended prematurely when Adams suffered his second groin injury of the year. He totaled 36 tackles, one quarterback pressure, one sack and five pass breakups before being placed on injured reserve in mid-December.12 March 2026
Signing Austin gives the Giants a diminutive slot receiver to replace their former diminutive slot receiver, Wan’Dale Robinson, who signed with the Titans in free agency. Austin is far less accomplished, though, having never once produced 600 receiving yards in a single season. Austin can earn up to $4.5 million this year. It would be unsurprising to see the Giants add another slot receiver via free agency or the 2026 NFL Draft for competition.

The Athletic’s Dane Brugler reports that Banks will be sidelined until June. The fracture occurred in his fourth metatarsal, which was surgically repaired by Dr. Norman Waldrop on March 9th, 2025. Banks totaled three solo tackles, one TFL and three quarterback pressures last year. Banks suffered a foot injury during Florida’s 2025 training camp and missed the first two games. He played in his team’s third game but suffered a foot fracture that required surgery, sidelining him until Week 13 ...12 March 2026
Muhammad racked up 51 quarterback pressures and 12 sacks last season, ranking second among Lions defenders in both categories. Both figures are career highs. Muhammad turns 31 later this month. He can earn up to $6 million. The Buccaneers have signed multiple front-seven defenders in free agency.12 March 2026
Grier spent the 2025 season on the Cowboys’ practice squad and was signed to a futures contract in January. Grier, 30, has spent time with the Panthers, Bengals, Patriots, Chargers and Eagles since entering the NFL in 2019 as a third-round pick. He has decent odds of finding a spot on a practice squad.12 March 2026
Killebrew is a safety in name only. He has playd ore than 100 defensive snaps in a season just twice in his decade-long career. On the other hand, Killebrew had cleared 250 special teams snaps nine years in a row before a knee injury ended his season in Week 5 of 2025. As long as he is ready for Week 1, Killebrew should reclaim his special teams ace status in Tampa Bay this year.12 March 2026
This isn’t an outright denial, but the messaging is in line with recent reports. The Jaguars reportedly “have an extremely high asking price” for Thomas and are unwilling to budge, which makes sense. Doing so would disrupt the offense, to some degree, and the incoming trade offer must be worth it for them to move a highly valued asset. The talented, young wide receiver underperformed last year, but he remains relatively cost-controlled on his rookie contract for the next two or three seaso ...12 March 2026
A 2020 UDFA, Huff worked his way into becoming a part-time starter for each of the Jets, Eagles and 49ers. He dealt with injury issues, though they tended to be minor. He reached double-digit sacks for the 2023 Jets, but was limited to 6.5 over 27 total games over the past two seasons. Still only 28 in April, Huff probably could have carved out another year or two as a rotational pass rusher but has evidently decided to quit while he was ahead on the injury front.12 March 2026
Wilson only appeared in four games for the Bengals last year. He was on and off the game-day roster early in the season before a hamstring issue in Week 12 ended his season. Wilson began his career as a starter in Arizona and has since settled into a reserve role on multiple teams. He will likely continue that trend in Miami.12 March 2026
Brown signed a one-year deal in Arizona in 2024 and re-upped with the team for two years last offseason. With a new regime taking over, the team chose to cut him with a year left on his $11.5 million deal. Brown is a replacement-level player, but he has 68 career starts and experience at all three interior offensive line positions. He should have no issues finding work in 2026.12 March 2026
Cut loose by eventual Super Bowl-champion Seattle last year, Reed finished the season by making five appearances for the Titans. The 25-year-old former sixth-rounder showed enough to at least hang around the 90-man offseason roster and to likely give himself a solid shot at cracking the 53-man in training camp. Reed is a fringe roster type whose best path to making the team is special teams.12 March 2026
This will be Atwell’s first time playing for a team other than the Rams, who drafted him in the 2021 NFL Draft’s second round. Atwell spent time on injured reserve last season, dealing with a hamstring injury. Although he is unlikely to be a full-time, fantasy-relevant player with the Dolphins, his speed will help stretch the field.12 March 2026

Wagoner prefaced the statement by revealing that in the first meeting between 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and Evans, “Shanahan laid out the plan for how he will be incorporated into an offense that also includes” RB Christian McCaffrey, TE George Kittle and QB Brock Purdy. McCaffrey’s 95 red zone touches in the 2025 regular season led all 49ers players by 79 and all other NFL players by 21. Knowing that Shanahan is already scheming up red zone opportunities for Evans is great to hear. M ...12 March 2026
Thomas has played more than 1,900 defensive snaps since the Colts drafted him in the 2022 NFL Draft’s seventh round. He played regularly in his first two seasons, but functioned as a backup over the past two. He should learn a thing or two by studying under Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald, even as a backup. Macdonald deploys his safeties creatively and effectively.12 March 2026
