Tavai (undisclosed) was released by the Patriots with a failed physical designation Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

The veteran linebacker from Hawaii appeared in 12 regular-season games for the Patriots last season, recording 42 total tackles and one forced fumble across 445 total snaps (230 on defense, 215 on special teams). Once Tavai proves he's returned to full health, he's expected to find work with a team in need of inside linebacker depth for the 2026 season.

Teller (calf) was released by the Browns on Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

The 31-year-old offensive lineman from Virginia Tech missed the Browns' 2025 regular-season finale due to a calf injury, but his release Wednesday suggests he's moved past the issue. Teller has spent the last seven years of his career in Cleveland, receiving All-Pro honors in 2020 and 2021. He's been released with a post-June 1 designation, spreading the hits of his dead cap out into $8.2 million for 2026 and $11.1 million for 2027, per Oyefusi. Expect Teller to be a coveted option by teams in need of interior offensive line help ahead of the 2026 season.

Thomas (knee) and the Cardinals agreed to terms on a contract Thursday.

Thomas missed all of the Cardinals' 2025 campaign after tearing his ACL in late July, but it now appears he's moved past the injury. The UAB product appeared in all 17 games (15 starts) for Arizona in 2024, recording 47 total tackles, six passes defensed and one forced fumble. He's expected to compete for a starting spot in the Cardinals' secondary as the offseason progresses.

Newman-Johnson (knee) is slated to re-sign with the Jets, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Newman-Johnson finished the Jets' 2025 season on injured reserve due to a knee injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The Baylor product logged 31 offensive snaps across five appearances last season, operating as one of the team's top backup interior offensive linemen. He's expected to battle for a similar role throughout the Jets' offseason activities.

Denver re-signed Humphrey on Thursday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Humphrey kicked off the 2025 campaign wearing a Giants uniform, but he was poached off New York's practice squad by the Broncos in advance of a Week 11 game against Kansas City and provided the team with depth at wideout behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and Marvin Mims down the stretch. Now, heading into his age-28 season, Humphrey appears positioned to reprise a similar reserve role.

Jones (shoulder) is slated to re-sign with the Giants, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Jones missed the Giants' final four games in 2025 due to a shoulder injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The 2023 seventh-round pick from Ball State appeared in 13 games last season, recording eight total tackles and one pass defensed across 211 total snaps (192 on special teams, 19 on defense). He's expected to compete for a depth spot in the Giants' secondary throughout the summer.

Butler and the Dolphins agreed to terms on a contract Thursday.

After spending the first three years of his NFL career in Las Vegas, Butler moved to Miami for the 2025 season and was an impactful backup defensive tackle. Across 12 appearances, the Tennessee product logged 213 defensive snaps and recorded 12 total tackles. He's expected to assume another depth role on the Dolphins' defensive line during the 2026 campaign.

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

The veteran offensive lineman from Oklahoma has spent each of the last three seasons in Cincinnati and is now under contract through 2028 following his extension. Brown has been a reliable presence for the Bengals, appearing in all 17 regular-season games in two of his three seasons with the team (including 2025). He's expected to remain Cincinnati's top left tackle during the 2026 campaign.

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.

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.
