  • 49ers' Osa Odighizuwa: Shipped to San Francisco in trade

    The 49ers acquired Odighizuwa (elbow) from the Cowboys in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    According to Todd Archer of ESPN.com, Odighizuwa had offseason surgery on his elbow, termed a clean-up procedure, that is not expected to affect his availability for the offseason program. A third-round pick in the 2021 Draft, Odighizuwa signed a new four-year, $80 million deal with Dallas last offseason. He appeared in all 17 regular-season games, making 13 starts, and has missed just one contest throughout his five-year career. During the 2025 campaign, Odighizuwa posted 44 tackles (16 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and he gives the Niners a needed boost to their defensive line.

  • D.J. Montgomery: Not tendered by Indianapolis

    The Colts did not tender Montgomery (undisclosed) on Wednesday.

    As such, Montgomery now will be an unrestricted free agent. The Austin Peay product missed the entire 2025 season while on injured reserve due to an undisclosed issue. Montgomery last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Colts, when he appeared in seven games and finished with three catches (on eight targets) for 56 yards and one touchdown.

  • Tyler Goodson RB | ATL

    Tyler Goodson: Not tendered by Indy

    The Colts did not tender Goodson as a restricted free agent Wednesday.

    Goodson now is a free agent after rushing just nine times for 24 scoreless yards across 11 regular-season appearances during the 2025 campaign. The 25-year-old has a career 54-264-1 rushing line and 19 catches for 103 yards and one touchdown on 27 targets.

  • Ben Sims TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Ben Sims: Gets one-year deal with Miami

    Sims and the Dolphins agreed to terms Wednesday on a one-year contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Sims was on the Packers' active roster at the start of the 2025 campaign. He was waived by Green Bay in late October but opted to stay in the NFC North and signed with Minnesota, and he finished with three catches (on six targets) for 30 yards across eight regular-season games for the Vikings. Sims currently projects to serve as the Dolphins' TE2 behind Greg Dulcich, with the former also likely to contribute on special teams.

  • Jaquelin Roy DT | NE

    Jaquelin Roy: Hits free agency

    The Patriots did not extend a restricted free-agent tender to Roy (undisclosed) by Wednesday's deadline, making him a free agent, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

    Roy missed the entire 2025 season due to an undisclosed injury but is now presumably healthy and ready to search for a new landing spot in the NFL. He logged six regular-season appearances (one start) with New England in 2024, totaling 17 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, in that span.

  • Alex Austin DB | MIA

    Dolphins' Alex Austin: Inks deal with Miami

    Austin and the Dolphins agreed to terms on a one-year contract Wednesday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

    Austin mostly served on special teams for the Patriots during the 2025 regular season, finishing with 13 tackles (10 solo) and one pass defense across 12 games. He'll likely reprise that role in Miami while also providing depth in the secondary.

  • Evan Neal OT | NYG

    Giants' Evan Neal: Re-signs with Giants

    Neal (neck) and the Giants agreed to a one-year contract Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

    Neal did not appear in a regular-season game for the Giants in 2025. He landed on injured reserve in mid-November due to a hamstring injury but suffered back and neck injuries while attempting to return from IR. Neal has appeared in only 29 regular-season games (27 starts) since being selected by the Giants with the No. 7 pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. He'll likely operate in a rotational role in 2026.

  • Ben VanSumeren RB | PHI

    Ben VanSumeren: Not tendered as RFA

    The Eagles did not tender VanSumeren (knee) as a restricted free agent Wednesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    VanSumeren will therefore become an unrestricted free agent. The fullback tore his patella tendon on the opening kickoff of the Eagles' Week 1 game against the Cowboys last season.

  • Browns' Elgton Jenkins: Officially signs with Cleveland

    Jenkins (ankle) and the Browns agreed to terms on a contract Wednesday, Kelsey Russo of the team's official site reports.

    Per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com on Tuesday, the contract is a two-year deal worth $24 million. Jenkins spent the first seven years of his NFL career with the Packers. He was named to the NFC Pro Bowl roster in 2020 and 2022 and started at center for the first nine games of the 2025 regular season before he suffered a season-ending fractured ankle in Week 10 against the Eagles. The Browns have committed significant resources to improving their offensive line by signing Jenkins, Tytus Howard and Zion Johnson.

  • Mike Brown DB | NE

    Patriots' Mike Brown: Heading to New England

    The Patriots signed Brown (ankle) to a contract Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Brown appeared in nine regular-season games for the Titans in 2025 and had two stints on injured reserve due to knee and ankle injuries. He served almost exclusively on special teams and logged three solo tackles for Tennessee last year. Brown's addition gives the Patriots added depth in the secondary and another contributor on special teams.
