Curtis Robinson LB | SF
49ers' Curtis Robinson: Role expands in injury-plagued year
Robinson recorded 42 tackles (19 solo) with one pass defended across 14 games with the 49ers in 2025.
Fred Warner (ankle) headlined a list of injured linebackers that San Francisco was forced to play without for most of 2025. Robinson -- a career special-teamer -- took advantage of the available defensive snaps and set a new career high in combined tackles (42). The 28-year-old will become an unrestricted free agent this upcoming offseason, so Robinson will have to re-sign with his current club if he wants to spend a sixth season on the 49ers' special-teams unit.

Wyatt Teller G | CLE
Browns' Wyatt Teller: Suggests he's done in Cleveland
Teller (calf) suggested Wednesday that he won't be re-signing with the Browns this offseason, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Teller is scheduled to hit the free-agent market next month and is the latest Browns player to hint that he'll be signing with a new team. After being selected in the fifth round of the 2018 Draft by the Bills, Teller was traded to the Browns in August of 2019 and was named to the Pro Bowl three times. He has also been a second-team All-Pro twice in his seven seasons with Cleveland. He figures to draw heavy interest in free agency.

Rams' David Quessenberry: Back with Los Angeles
The Rams re-signed Quessenberry to a one-year contract Wednesday.
The 35-year-old lineman appeared in 13 regular-season games for Los Angeles during the 2025 campaign, seeing 18 snaps on offense and another 73 via special teams. Quessenberry will again compete for a backup tackle job.

Joel Bitonio OG | CLE
Browns' Joel Bitonio: Retirement decision pushed to March
Bitonio and the Browns have pushed the void date on his contract to the start of the new league year on March 11, giving him additional time to decide whether to retire or return for the 2026 season, Dan Labbe of cleveland.com reports.
Bitonio's contract had been slated to void Feb. 16, but he'll now have nearly an extra month to weigh his options. Were Bitonio's contract to void, Cleveland would take on over $23 million in dead cap, so it stands to reason that the veteran guard will either ink an extension or be released by March 11, depending on his decision. The 34-year-old offensive lineman continued to perform at a high level across his 17 regular-season appearances in 2025.

Kendric Pryor WR | CIN
Bengals' Kendric Pryor: Re-ups with Bengals
Cincinnati re-signed Pryor on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Pryor spent the 2025 campaign on the Bengals' practice squad, but he wasn't elevated for a single regular-season appearance with the team. Back in 2024, Pryor suited up for two games with Cincinnati, in which span he secured his only target for nine yards. The depth wideout will get a chance to continue his development with the team this offseason.

Patrick Mahomes QB | KC
Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Agrees to contract restructure
Mahomes (knee) recently agreed to restructure his contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The Chiefs add $43.56 million in cap space with the restructure, but they'll still need to make other moves to become cap-compliant before the start of the new league year March 11. Mahomes is in the early stages of his rehab process after undergoing surgery in mid-December to repair ACL and LCL tears. He said in mid-January that he was aiming to be ready for Week 1 of 2026, though he acknowledged that he "can't predict what happens throughout the process," per The Associated Press.

Robert Woods WR | PIT
Robert Woods: Announces retirement
Woods announced his retirement from the NFL on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Woods was out of the league in 2025 after he requested his release from the Steelers' practice squad prior to Week 1. The veteran was unable to find the right opportunity afterward and is now calling it a career after catching 683 passes for 8,233 yards and 38 touchdowns across 171 regular-season contests. He caught another 42 passes for 449 yards and one score in 10 postseason games. Woods was a second-round pick by the Bills in 2013 and spent the first four seasons of his career in Buffalo before spending the next five with the Rams, with whom he won a Super Bowl in 2021. On Tuesday, he signed a one-day contract to retire as a Ram.

Emory Jones QB | ATL
Emory Jones: Cut by Atlanta
The Falcons waived Jones on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jones spent the 2025 campaign on injured reserve after sustaining a concussion during the preseason last summer. The 25-year-old quarterback spent the previous two seasons in the Atlanta organization but has yet to appear in a regular-season contest.

Mike Evans WR | TB
Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Will play in 2026
Evans will continue his playing career in 2026, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Evans will turn 33 years old in August but will play a 13th NFL season. He was limited to a career-low eight regular-season contests in 2025 as he dealt with hamstring and collarbone injuries in addition to a concussion. When on the field, Evans was still productive, securing 30 of 62 targets for 368 yards and three touchdowns. The six-time Pro Bowler should have plenty of interest around the league if he decides to test free agency, but a return to Tampa Bay -- the only team he's ever played for in the NFL -- is the most likely outcome.

Ryan Hayes OT | ATL
Titans' Ryan Hayes: Signs with Tennessee
Hayes (undisclosed) signed with the Titans on Tuesday.
Hayes appeared in one regular-season game for the Dolphins in 2024, logging four snaps on special teams. He then spent time on the practice squads of Miami and Atlanta last season before landing on the Falcons' practice-squad injured list in October. Hayes will compete for a reserve role along the offensive line in Tennessee.
