  • Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Inks three-year deal with Dallas

    Williams (shoulder) and the Cowboys agreed to terms on a three-year, $24 million contract Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    The new deal includes $16 million in guaranteed money and ensures that Williams doesn't enter the new league year as an unrestricted free agent. The North Carolina product inked a one-year deal with the Cowboys in March of 2025 after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Broncos, and he enjoyed a breakout season in his first year with Dallas, when he turned 252 carries into 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns while catching 35 passes (on 51 targets) for 137 yards and two scores over 16 regular-season games. The deal solidifies Williams as the Cowboys' RB1 while Malik Davis (eye) and 2025 fifth-rounder Jaydon Blue both operate in rotational roles.

  • Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Undergoes surgery Friday

    Charbonnet posted on social media that he underwent surgery to repair his torn ACL on Friday, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.

    Charbonnet suffered the ACL tear during Seattle's victory over San Francisco in the NFC divisional round. While Smith notes that it's not uncommon for a player to have surgery several weeks after the occurrence of an ACL injury, he also posits that the timing figures to push Charbonnet's recovery timeline further into the 2026 season. At this point, a definitive timeframe for the running back's return to game action hasn't been announced, but it's certainly possible that Charbonnet will miss a significant portion of the upcoming campaign.

  • Kendall Milton RB | CIN

    Bengals' Kendall Milton: Staying with Bengals

    Milton signed a one-year deal with the Bengals on Friday, the team's official site reports.

    Milton, who spent the majority of the past two seasons on Cincinnati's practice squad, will thus have an opportunity to compete for a depth slot in the team's backfield ahead of the 2026 campaign. In his only regular-season appearance in 2025, Milton, who played his college ball at Georgia, logged two carries for two yards.

  • Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Not expected to be franchise tagged

    The Seahawks are not expected to extend the franchise tag to Walker, who will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Seattle will have a number of tough roster decisions following the team's Super Bowl LX victory, with a contract extension for Jaxon Smith-Njigba likely being the top priority. Walker played a full 17 regular-season games for the first time in his career in 2025, rushing 221 times for 1,027 yards and five scores while securing 31 of 36 targets for 282 receiving yards. He was even more dominant during the postseason, culminating in Super Bowl MVP honors after he rushed for 135 yards versus the Patriots, adding two catches for 26 yards. The franchise tag would lock him into a 2026 salary of $14.5 million, however, which could be more than Seattle can afford. While the Seahawks could still attempt to sign Walker to an extension, it may be difficult for the team to compete with the offers the 25-year-old running back projects to receive on the open market. Seattle still also has Zach Charbonnet (knee) under contract, though after having suffered an ACL tear in the divisional round his availability for Week 1 is uncertain at best.

  • DeeJay Dallas RB | JAC

    Jaguars' DeeJay Dallas: Re-ups with Jags

    Jacksonville re-signed Dallas on Monday.

    Dallas appeared in six total regular-season games between Carolina and Jacksonville in 2025, in which span he rushed twice for 21 yards and failed to secure his only target. He also logged 12 kickoff returns for 321 yards. Dallas ended the 2025 campaign on the Jaguars' roster but he was made a healthy scratch for the team's sole postseason contest, a wild-card round loss to the Bills. If the Jaguars opt to let Travis Etienne depart as a free agent this offseason, Dallas could find himself competing for an interesting depth role.

  • Seahawks' Jacardia Wright: Signs reserve/future contract

    White (undisclosed) signed a reserve/future contract with the Seahawks on Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    The running back was placed on the practice squad injured list in September and ended the season there, too. Wright did appear in one September game before the injury, playing on five offensive snaps and three special-teams snaps while recording five carries for 20 yards.

  • Seahawks' Velus Jones: Signs reserve/future deal

    Jones signed a reserve/future contract with the Seahawks on Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    The running back was elevated to the active roster for Super Bowl LX, playing 23 snaps on special teams and dowing a punt on New England's two-yard line. Jones appeared in three games for Seattle during the 2025 regular season, carrying the ball four times for 32 yards.

  • Cam Akers RB | SEA

    Seahawks' Cam Akers: Signs reserve/future contract

    Akers signed a reserve/future contract with the Seahawks on Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    The running back was elevated from the practice squad for Super Bowl LX and played four snaps on special teams. In 2025, he spent time with the Vikings and Seahawks, appeared in six regular-season games and carried the ball five times for 19 yards. Now, he'll likely remain with Seattle at least into OTAs.

  • Titans' Julius Chestnut: Production dips in 2025

    Chestnut rushed 11 times for 40 yards and failed to catch either of his two targets across 17 regular-season games in 2025. Additionally, he tallied 81 kick-return yards.

    Chestnut saw declines across several statistical categories compared to his 2024 campaign, logging fewer carries (22 to 11) and posting fewer rushing (102 to 40) and receiving (11 to zero) yards while playing 40 fewer offensive snaps. He also returned 10 fewer kicks than he did in 2024 but was more efficient this season, averaging 27.0 yards per return. Set to enter unrestricted free agency this offseason, Chestnut could draw interest from teams in need of running-back depth to compete for a backup role ahead of the 2026 season.

  • Adam Prentice RB | DEN

    Broncos' Adam Prentice: Finishes quiet 2025 season

    Prentice ended the 2025 regular season with 10 carries for 44 yards, adding six receptions (on eight targets) for 53 yards across 17 games. He added one catch for three yards over two playoff contests.

    Prentice was minimally involved in the Broncos' offensive attack this season, playing at least 25 percent of snaps in just three games in 2025. The veteran fullback, instead, played a higher percentage of his snaps on special teams. Prentice was promoted to Denver's active roster from the practice squad for the first three games, ultimately leading the Broncos to sign him to the active roster for the remainder of the season. The 29-year-old will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so he'll perhaps be signed back with the Broncos based on his familiarity with head coach Sean Payton's system. If not, he'd likely garner interest from other teams around the league.
