Da'Shawn Hand DE | ATL
Falcons' Da'Shawn Hand: Headed to Atlanta
The Falcons signed Hand to a contract Monday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

Reddy Steward DB | DAL
Cowboys' Reddy Steward: Signs tender
Steward signed his exclusive-rights free-agent tender Tuesday, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Steward blossomed in his second NFL campaign and his first with the Cowboys in 2025, playing all 17 games and making five starts. He logged 40 tackles including 1.5 sacks, three defensed passes and one forced fumble while playing mostly in the slot. Dallas picked up Cobie Durant, who has experience in the slot, this offseason, and further additions at corner in the draft could push Steward into a depth role in 2026.

Beanie Bishop Jr. CB | NO
Saints' Beanie Bishop: Suspended three games
The NFL has suspended Bishop for the first three games of the 2026 regular season, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
The league didn't mention the reason for the suspension in its announcement, but Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that it was for a violation of the NFL's substances of abuse policy. Bishop will still be able to participate in offseason activities and preseason contests. He had a significant role for the Steelers as a rookie in 2024 but didn't see any NFL action last year, splitting the campaign between the Steelers' and Saints' practice squads.

Cam Taylor-Britt CB | IND
Colts' Cam Taylor-Britt: Gets contract from Colts
Indianapolis signed Taylor-Britt (foot) to a one-year contract Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Taylor-Britt spent his first four seasons with Cincinnati and started 40 of his 47 regular-season games during that span. However, he started just two of his eight appearances last year and missed the rest of the campaign due to a foot injury he suffered in mid-November. Taylor-Britt is presumably back to full health and will look to carve out a role in the Colts' secondary, which is led by cornerbacks Sauce Gardner (calf) and Charvarius Ward (concussion), though the latter is said to be considering retirement.

Danny Pinter G | BAL
Ravens' Danny Pinter: Headed to Baltimore
Pinter and the Ravens agreed to terms on a contract Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
The 2020 fifth-round pick spent his first five seasons with the Colts, but he's found a new home in Baltimore. He's made just 10 starts in his 77 regular-season appearances, but given that Tyler Linderbaum is now a Raider, Pinter could get a chance to compete for the starting center job with the Ravens.

Jerry Tillery DT | IND
Colts' Jerry Tillery: Coming to Indianapolis
Tillery and the Colts agreed to terms on a contract Tuesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
The veteran defensive tackle is headed to Indianapolis following a one-year stint with Kansas City. Across 17 contests in 2025, Tillery logged 374 defensive snaps and tallied 20 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks. He's expected to compete for a reserve role on the defensive line.

Julius Chestnut RB | TEN
Titans' Julius Chestnut: Back with Tennessee
Chestnut is slated to re-sign with the Titans, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The 25-year-old will remain in Tennessee after spending his first four NFL seasons with the team. Chestnut has appeared in all of the Titans' 34 contests over the last two years, rushing for 142 yards on 4.3 yards per carry while accumulating 418 kickoff return yards. He's expected to remain a reserve running back and key special-teamer in 2026.

Ty Chandler RB | NO
Saints' Ty Chandler: Moving to New Orleans
Chandler and the Saints agreed to terms on a one-year deal Tuesday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Chandler, a 2022 fifth-round pick, appeared in just three games for the Vikings last season due to a knee injury, gaining 47 yards on 17 carries while catching three of four targets for 11 yards. However, he appeared in all 34 of Minnesota's regular-season contests in 2023-24, recording 643 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 158 carries. Chandler will likely compete for a backup role behind Travis Etienne in New Orleans and could also see action as a kickoff returner.
