While the Eagles have held conversations with the Patriots and Rams, Brown will not be traded at this time, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.

Both the Rams and Patriots have been linked to Brown in recent weeks, as he has familiarity with coach Mike Vrabel from their time together in Tennessee. In Los Angeles, the team needs a third receiver, and the two sides had conversations before the Rams pulled off a deal for Trent McDuffie from the Chiefs last week. According to Russini, talks could heat back up closer to June 1, as no move is believed to be imminent. There's been a whole lot of smoke surrounding Brown this offseason, and that typically indicates there's fire, so a trade can't be written off at some point.

McCreary and the Lions agreed to terms on a one-year contract Friday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

McCreary opened the 2025 season with the Titans before being traded to the Rams in late October. He missed four games while on injured reserve due to a hip injury and finished the regular season with 37 tackles (23 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass defenses (one interception) across 14 games. McCreary operated mostly in a rotational role in the secondary for the Rams and figures to reprise that same role with the Lions while also contributing on special teams.

Ojabo is slated to sign with the Dolphins, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

The 2022 second-rounder spent the first four years of his NFL career with the Ravens but will take his talents to South Beach and the Dolphins for the 2026 campaign. He served in a rotational role in the Ravens' defense in 2025 while also contributing on special teams, finishing with 16 tackles (seven solo), including 0.5 sacks, over 14 regular-season games. Ojabo will likely fill that same role for Miami but could push for more rotational snaps on defense.

The Texans released Hinish (undisclosed) with a failed physical designation Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Hinish spent the entire 2025 season on the reserve/PUP list due to an undisclosed issue that popped up at the beginning of training camp in late July. The nature and severity of the injury are not clear, but once fully healthy, Hinish will look to join a team in need of depth on the interior defensive line. He appeared in 10 regular-season games for the Texans in 2024 and finished with 12 tackles (five solo).

The Eagles and Goedert have pushed the void date on his contract back to Monday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

The void date on Goedert's deal had previously been pushed back to Friday, but Berman's report relays that the two sides will now have additional time to discuss a possible contract extension for the veteran tight end. Since free agency opened, the Eagles addressed their TE corps by re-signing Grant Calcaterra and bringing in Johnny Mundt, the latter of whom played for the Jaguars last season.

Stone signed a one-year contract with the Bills on Friday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Stone is coming off a career year in 2025 with the Bengals, when he logged a career-best 104 tackles (65 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and four pass defenses (one interception and one pick-six) across 17 regular-season games. He was a starting safety in each of his two years in Cincinnati, but Stone is not guaranteed to start in Buffalo, with his primary competition coming from Cole Bishop and C.J. Gardner-Johnson.

Campbell (ankle) and the Giants agreed to terms on a one-year contract Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Campbell will have a new home in New York with the Giants after spending the last five years of his NFL career with Miami. He mostly served on special teams in 2025 and logged five tackles (four solo) across 10 regular-season games. Campbell ended the season on injured reserve due to an ankle injury but should be available for offseason programming.

Treadwell and the Colts agreed to terms on a one-year contract Friday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Treadwell opened the 2025 campaign on the Colts' practice squad before being signed to the active roster in early November. He was used almost exclusively on special teams and did not record a target across 10 regular-season games last year. Treadwell will likely reprise his role as a special teamer for the 2026 season.

Smith is expected to fill a complementary role alongside Emari Demercado behind Kenneth Walker in Kansas City's new-look backfield, Pete Sweeney of the Kansas City Star reports.

The Chiefs have parted ways with Isiah Pacheco and look unlikely to bring back Kareem Hunt, but Walker's expected to handle the bulk of the rushing workload after signing a three-year contract with the team, leaving Smith and the newly signed Demercado to compete for change-of-pace duties. Smith had 44 carries for 151 yards while adding 25 catches for 172 yards and a touchdown on 35 targets in 2025, showing some promising pass catching skills as a rookie seventh-round pick.

Tagovailoa officially signed his one-year, $1.3 million contract with the Falcons on Friday.

Falcons GM Ian Cunningham confirmed Friday that Tagovailoa will compete with Michael Penix (knee) for the starting quarterback role in Atlanta, per Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com. Both are oft-injured left-handed quarterbacks, but Tua is the healthier of the two at the moment, as he passed a physical in order to effectuate his contract with Atlanta while Penix is recovering from November surgery to repair a torn ACL. Penix has a chance to be ready for the start of the regular season, but Tagovailoa could have the early edge in Atlanta's QB competition while Penix works his way back into form.
