Bengals' Orlando Brown: Inks extension with Cincinnati
Brown is slated to sign a two-year extension with the Bengals, Geoff Hobson of the team's official site reports.

Jack Conklin OT | CLE
Jack Conklin: Dropped by Cleveland
Conklin (concussion) was released by the Browns on Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Conklin was sidelined for nine games during Cleveland's 2025 campaign due to concussions, but his release from the team Tuesday suggests he's moved past the issue. The former All-Pro offensive tackle has struggled to stay on the field as of late, appearing in just 21 of the Browns' 51 regular-season games over the last three years. Now a free agent, Conklin will likely find work with a team in need of tackle depth ahead of the 2026 season.

Cowboys' Rashan Gary: Deal to Dallas made official
Gary was officially traded to the Cowboys from Green Bay on Wednesday, Patrik Walker of Dallas' official site reports.
The Cowboys' trade for Gary in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick was made official Wednesday with the beginning of the new league year. A 2019 first-round pick, Gary will shore up a Dallas defensive front anchored at DT by All-Pro Quinnen Williams and former Green Bay teammate Kenny Clark, providing a foundation for the pass rush to get home. Walker reports that Gary will be tasked to line up both at defensive end and outside linebacker in new defensive coordinator Christian Parker's scheme, an every-down role that figures to be friendly for his fantasy value in IDP formats.
