  • Braden Smith OT | HOU

    Texans' Braden Smith: Signing with Houston

    Smith has agreed to terms on a contract with the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Smith is set to sign a two-year, $25 million deal, which includes $13.5 million fully guaranteed. In Smith, the Texans are acquiring one of the top tackles on the market to help protect C.J. Stroud, who was sacked 23 times across 14 regular-season games in 2025.

  • Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Tampa or bust

    David (knee), through his agent, has relayed that he will either play for the Buccaneers in 2026 or retire, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    David recently underwent surgery to clean up his knee and is debating retirement. If he does decide to play in 2026, it will only be for the organization that selected him in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft. David is expected to make a decision on his future soon.

  • David Moore WR | CAR

    Panthers' David Moore: Re-signing with Carolina

    Moore agreed to terms Tuesday on a contract to remain with the Panthers, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Moore caught just one pass across four regular-season appearances in 2025. The depth wide receiver will likely reprise his role as an emergency option in 2026. Moore's deal is likely another one-year deal around the league minimum, with additional money tied to incentives.

  • Otito Ogbonnia DT | DAL

    Chargers' Otito Ogbonnia: Joining Dallas

    Ogbonnia is slated to sign a one-year, $3 million deal with the Cowboys, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Ogbonnia played nine regular-season games with the Chargers last season, logging double-digit defensive snaps in just seven of those contests. The 25-year-old will likely fill the role of rotational nose tackle or defensive end behind starters Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark and Osa Odighizuwa.

  • P.J. Locke DB | DAL

    Cowboys' P.J. Locke: Signing with Dallas

    Locke is set to sign a one-year contract with the Cowboys, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Locke will ink a one-year deal worth up to $5 million as he moves from Denver to Dallas. The free safety will likely compete for a starting role alongside fellow free-agent addition Jalen Thompson. Locke is coming off an underwhelming 2025 season where he played a majority of his snaps on special teams, but a change of scenery could allow the 29-year-old to return to a starting role.

  • Nahshon Wright CB | NYJ

    Jets' Nahshon Wright: Signs with New York

    Wright is slated to sign a one-year contract with the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Wright lands a one-year, $5.5 million max deal after a breakout season with the Bears. The 2021 third-round pick of the Cowboys finally got a chance to start in 2025, finishing the season with 80 tackles and11 passes defensed, including five interceptions. The cornerback also forced two fumbles and recovered three, a skill the Jets' defense sorely desires after finishing at the bottom of the league in turnovers forced in 2025 (four). If Wright performs consistently with his new team, he will likely be looking at a substantially larger contract after the 2026 season.

  • Teven Jenkins OT | CLE

    Browns' Teven Jenkins: Staying with Cleveland

    Jenkins agreed to terms on a contract with the Browns on Tuesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Jenkins offers valuable depth at offensive guard behind Wyatt Teller, and the 28-year-old started multiple games for his injured teammate down the stretch last season. Jenkins' solid track record earned him another contract in Cleveland despite the arrival of a new coaching staff.

  • Lions' Malcolm Rodriguez: Staying with Detriot

    Rodriguez agreed to a contract with the Lions on Tuesday, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

    Rodriguez played in just seven games for the Lions during the 2025 season after opening the campaign on the reserve/PUP list following a November 2024 ACL tear. Rodriguez was primarily eased back in on special teams, logging just 70 defensive snaps. The 26-year-old could fill a similar role in 2026, although a more extensive role is possible now that Rodriguez is well over a year removed from his injury.

  • Kenny Clark NT | DAL

    Cowboys' Kenny Clark: Helps Dallas clear cash

    The Cowboys and Clark have agreed to a restructured contract, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    The restructure turns Clark's $11 million roster bonus due next week into a signing bonus. The move will create about $8.8 million in space for the Cowboys to use during the 2026 season. The transaction likely indicates Dallas, which has already been active during the legal tampering period, is planning to continue making waves in free agency.

  • Jake Hummel LB | HOU

    Texans' Jake Hummel: Signs with Houston

    Hummel is slated to sign a two-year deal with the Texans, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.

    Hummel played all 17 regular-season games for the Ravens in 2025, collecting 18 tackles (nine solo) in his primarily special-teams role. The linebacker was only called to play more than two defensive snaps once, which occurred in Baltimore's Week 4 loss to the Chiefs, where he logged 28 defensive snaps on top of his 22 special-teams snaps. Hummel makes a strong special-teams addition with upside as a reserve linebacker for a dominant Texans defense.
