  • DJ Uiagalelei QB | LAC

    Chargers' DJ Uiagalelei: Set to spend offseason with Bolts

    Uiagalelei signed a reserve/future contract with the Chargers on Tuesday.

    Uiagalelei spent the entire 2025 season on the Chargers' practice squad after failing to make the active roster at the end of training camp. He was elevated for the Chargers' Week 18 clash against the Broncos and served as Trey Lance's backup, though the former did not see the field. Uiagalelei will be a part of the Chargers' 90-man roster in the offseason, allowing him to participate in OTAs and minicamp.

  • Josh Allen QB | BUF

    Bills' Josh Allen: Limited by trio of injuries

    Allen was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice due to foot, finger and knee injuries.

    The superstar QB has been listed with the foot issue on injury reports since Week 17, but the finger and knee injuries are new concerns coming out of this past Sunday's wild-card win. Per Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News, head coach Sean McDermott noted that Allen is feeling sore but didn't seem worried about his availability for Saturday's divisional-round game in Denver.

  • Bryce Young QB | CAR

    Panthers' Bryce Young: Fifth-year option getting picked up

    General manager Dan Morgan announced Tuesday that Carolina plans to exercise the 2027 team option on Young's contract this offseason, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Young's fifth-year option is projected to come in at around $26.5 million and will be fully guaranteed. While the Panthers' willingness to pick up the option represents some level of commitment to the 24-year-old signal-caller, Young may need to make more dramatic strides in 2026 in order to land a long-term extension. He showed some modest improvement in Year 3, leading an 8-9 Panthers squad to its first NFC South title in a decade while directing six game-winning drives. Young completed 304 of 478 pass attempts for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions to go with 216 yards and two scores on 54 carries over 16 starts during the regular season. A respectable showing against the heavily favored Rams in the wild-card round this past weekend will also be a confidence booster for the QB heading into 2026.

  • C.J. Stroud QB | HOU

    Texans' C.J. Stroud: Overcomes early mistakes to advance

    Stroud completed 21 of 32 pass attempts for 250 yards, one touchdown and one interception while recording a pair of lost fumbles in Monday's 30-6 wild-card win over the Steelers.

    Stroud struggled with ball security against Pittsburgh after losing possession of two of his four fumbles in the first half of Houston's wild-card matchup. The Ohio State product tacked on an interception in the third quarter and another fumble that he recovered on the fourth quarter, but the Steelers were only able to generate three points off of the signal-caller's three turnovers Monday. Stroud would settle down behind a dominant performance from his defense (including two defensive TDs) and comfortably guide the Texans to victory in the second half. The 23-year-old will have to clean up those mistakes in the divisional round in order to put his team in position to advance past the Patriots on Sunday.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Difficult night in playoff loss

    Rodgers completed 17 of 33 passes for 146 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in the Steelers' 30-6 wild-card loss to the Texans on Monday night. He also committed two fumbles, losing one.

    If this was indeed Rodgers' NFL swan song, the Texans did plenty to encourage him to hang up the cleats thanks to a relentless defense that sacked him four times. Rodgers had DK Metcalf back at his disposal following the latter's completion of a two-game suspension, but outside of a pair of solid gains, the duo and the rest of the Steelers offense managed precious little against Houston's elite unit. Both of Rodgers' fourth-quarter turnovers -- a fumble on a strip sack and a interception on what may have been his final career pass attempt -- were returned for touchdowns as well. He did put together a solid regular season, completing 65.7 percent of his passes for 3,322 yards with a 24:7 TD:INT and adding 61 rushing yards and an additional score on the ground over 16 games while playing out a one-year deal. The future Hall of Famer will presumably take some time to contemplate his future this offseason before deciding whether he'd like to continue his playing career.

  • Carter Bradley QB | JAC

    Jaguars' Carter Bradley: Sticking with Jacksonville

    Jacksonville signed Bradley to a reserve/future contract Monday.

    Bradley spent the campaign on the Jaguars' practice squad, and he'll remain with the organization throughout at least the coming offseason. The South Alabama product has yet to make his NFL debut, but he'll give Jacksonville some quarterback depth and will get a chance to complete for a roster spot ahead of the 2026 campaign.

  • Will Howard QB | PIT

    Steelers' Will Howard: Emergency third QB for wild-card game

    Howard (coach's decision) is inactive and will serve as Pittsburgh's emergency third quarterback for Monday's AFC wild-card game versus Houston, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    This is a familiar role for Howard, as he's been Pittsburgh's emergency QB every week since coming off IR in mid-November. Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph will continue to serve as the Steelers' QB1 and QB2, respectively, while Howard will be eligible to enter Monday's game only if both quarterbacks ahead of him have to exit due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Davis Mills QB | HOU

    Texans' Davis Mills: Available for wild-card round

    Mills (personal) is listed as active for Monday's wild-card matchup against the Steelers.

    Mills traveled to Pittsburgh a day late for personal reasons. Now back with the team, the 27-year-old will be the backup quarterback option behind C.J. Stroud. Graham Mertz (coach's decision) is inactive for the contest.

  • Bailey Zappe QB | NYJ

    Jets' Bailey Zappe: Lands future deal with Jets

    Zappe signed a reserve/future contract with the Jets on Monday.

    The state of the Jets' quarterback room is in flux heading into the 2026 campaign, so Zappe looks poised to have a realistic chance at a roster spot. Zappe has 15 NFL appearances (nine starts) under his belt, with all of those having come for the Jets' AFC East rival Patriots, but he didn't appear in a regular-season game in 2025.

  • Joe Milton III QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Joe Milton: Limited action in 2025

    Milton appeared in four games for the Cowboys in 2025, completing 15 of 24 passes for 183 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions. He added 50 rushing yards on five carries and lost a fumble.

    The second-year quarterback saw his most extensive action in Week 18, but Milton didn't make a single start as Dak Prescott stayed healthy for the entire season. Milton's athletic upside remains intriguing, but he's still very raw as a passer and is stuck behind the highest-paid QB in the entire NFL, giving him little fantasy appeal heading into next season other than as an insurance policy for Prescott.
