London re-signed with the Falcons on Thursday.

The Western Illinois product will now remain with the Falcons after spending his first two NFL seasons with the team. London proved to be an impactful defensive lineman during his 2025 campaign, posting 30 total tackles, including 5.0 sacks, one pass defensed and one forced fumble across just 13 appearances. Expect the 28-year-old to remain a key part of the Falcons' defensive line in 2026.

Kennedy (ribs) is slated to re-sign with the Lions, Jeremy Reisman of Pride Of Detroit reports.

Kennedy exited the Lions' 2025 regular-season finale due to a ribs injury, but his new deal with the team suggests he's moved past the issue. The 29-year-old from Bryant played a minor role in Detroit's offense last season, catching all four of his targets for 36 yards while accumulating 447 kick-return yards across just six appearances. Expect Kennedy to remain a depth option in the Lions' receiving corps for the 2026 season.

Martin is slated to sign a two-year, $11 million deal with the Titans, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Martin, a 2018 sixth-round pick by the Seahawks, is coming off the best season of his NFL career in 2025, appearing in 17 games for the Commanders and setting career highs in total tackles (39) and sacks (5.5). Following his deal with the Titans, Martin is expected to operate as one of Tennessee's top edge rushers during the 2026 campaign.

Russell is slated to re-sign with the Seahawks on a two-year deal, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The 27-year-old from Colorado is now in line to remain in Seattle after spending the first three seasons of his NFL career with the team. Russell was a key special-teamer during the Seahawks' 2025 campaign, recording 14 total tackles and one fumble recovery across 454 total snaps (396 on special teams, 58 on offense). He's expected to operate in a similar role ahead of the 2026 season.

Rush was released by the Ravens on Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Despite signing a two-year, $6.2 million deal with the Ravens last offseason, the team has decided to move on from Rush after just one campaign. The 32-year-old made four appearances (two starts) during his lone season in Baltimore, completing 34 of 52 pass attempts for 303 yards and four interceptions. Now a free agent, Rush could land a backup quarterback role elsewhere for the 2026 season.

Crosby (knee) shared a message affirming his commitment to playing for Las Vegas on Wednesday, one day after the Ravens reneged on a trade agreement that would have sent him to Baltimore in exchange for 2026 and 2027 first-round draft picks, Ryan McFadden of ESPN reports.

Crosby is working his way back from surgery undergone on his left knee in January to repair a torn meniscus. Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports that the planned trade to the Ravens fell through due to a failed physical, while Crosby's agent stated on his personal social media accounts that the star pass rusher is ahead of schedule in his recovery and remains on track to retake the field in time for offseason activities. With Crosby having affirmed his commitment to the team, it appears he will play out his age-29 season and potentially beyond in Las Vegas, unless a new trade partner materializes. Baltimore has since signed edge rusher Trey Hendrickson to a four-year, $112 million deal.

The Dolphins re-signed Patterson on Thursday.

Patterson's return to Miami makes sense after he started all 17 regular-season games for the team last year, converting an impressive 27 of his 29 field-goal tries and all but one of his 35 PATs. The success Patterson demonstrated makes him the favorite to open 2026 as the Dolphins' starter, and prompted the team to move on from longtime kicker Jason Sanders (now with the Giants) to begin the offseason. Patterson will have competition for the No. 1 gig, though, in the form of new signee Zane Gonzalez.

The Browns released Njoku (knee) on Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Cleveland coupled Njoku's release with a post-June 1 designation, spreading the hits of his dead cap out into $9.5 million for 2026 and $14.7 million in 2027, per Oyefusi. The breakout rookie campaign logged by Harold Fannin last year limited Njoku to just a 33-293-4 line across 12 regular-season appearances, with injuries also limiting his production. Across his nine seasons with the Browns, however, Njoku surpassed 500 receiving yards on four separate occasions despite inconsistent quarterback play, including an impressive 81-882-6 line in 2023. He missed the final four games of 2025 due to knee and personal issues, but Njoku is now presumably healthy and ready to search for a new squad for his age-30 season.

Mitchell agreed to terms Thursday on a two-year, $9.25 million contract with Los Angeles, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Mitchell brings his talents to a backfield already led by Omarion Hamption and No. 2 back Kimani Vidal. Across three seasons with Baltimore, the 24-year-old logged a total of 112 carries for 767 yards and three touchdowns, averaging an impressive 6.34 YPC. While the Hampton and Vidal represent difficult competition for Mitchell to earn depth opportunities, he seems a strong fit for new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's scheme and will be a sleeper candidate to impress with the Chargers.

Nijman announced his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Nijman will hang up his cleats after six seasons with the Packers and Panthers. The offensive lineman made 29 starts during his career, most recently starting four games with Carolina in 2025.
