2023 NFL free agency and trade tracker, live updates: Latest rumors, signings and moves throughout Week 2

We are about two weeks through NFL free agency with all the offseason moves and trades it brings, but there is still plenty to figure out. When will the Aaron Rodgers trade officially happen? Is Odell Beckham Jr. close to signing with a new club? And when will a potential suitor approach Lamar Jackson? We also have to keep an eye on DeAndre Hopkins, as the Arizona Cardinals wideout is expected to be traded sometime this offseason.

Maybe the big wave of signings has come and gone, but with the draft right around the corner, all 32 teams are continuing to explore the market to fill out rosters for the summer. There are still plenty of intriguing players out there looking for new deals.

As we continue to follow along on this Friday, here's a rundown of what you need to know:

We've got you covered during this free agent period. In our live blog below, you'll see every important rumor and signing that goes down over this stretch.

The Panthers have a new top wide receiver in two-time Pro Bowler Adam Thielen after signing him to a three-year deal

 

The first full week of NFL free agency is in the books. Take a look at where all 32 teams stands in terms of their offseason grades. The Cowboys, Eagles, Seahawks and 49ers are some of the top-graded teams. 

 

Free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was once thought to be a lock to become a Dallas Cowboy. He was toured about the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, even sitting courtside at a Dallas Mavericks NBA game. However now that Cooks is in Dallas, he's likely out of the Cowboys' plans. Here's all you need to know about the OBJ door likely closing in Dallas. 

 

Following the Dallas Cowboys acquisition of wide receiver Brandin Cooks from the Houston Texans in exchange for a couple mid-round picks, the nine-year vet has now tied Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson as the most traded player of all-time. Here's a look at some of the other most traded players and how they were dealt.

 

Meanwhile, the Texans remained busy on Sunday as they came to terms with Laremy Tunsil on a massive three-year extension. The new deal is worth $75 million and includes $60 million fully guaranteed. This now makes Tunsil the NFL's highest-paid offensive tackle as he's earning an average annual salary of $25 million, which surpasses 49ers star tackle Trent Williams. Solidifying Tunsil along its offensive line is a welcome sight for a Houston team that is poised to take a quarterback with the No. 2 overall pick at the 2023 NFL Draft. 

 

The Dallas Cowboys are starting Sunday off in a major way, striking a deal with the Texans to acquire Brandin Cooks. Houston will receive a fifth-round pick in 2023 and a sixth-rounder in 2024. They'll also pay $6 million of Cooks' salary for this season, while Dallas will pay the remaining $12 million, according to reports. Now, the Cowboys -- who were eyeing Cooks at the deadline -- have a legit deep threat to complement CeeDee Lamb.

Terms of new New England Patriots' tight end Mike Gesicki's one-year deal have emerged, via the Boston Globe. His contract is worth $4.5 million in base value with $3.55 million of it fully guaranteed. Gesicki can double that number and make $9 million in total in 2023 if he hits all of his incentives. A team-friendly deal overall. 

 
 

Like this player. He's over 6'8!

 
 
 

Epps signed with the Raiders this week. 

 

The Buccaneers have officially released Cameron Brate and Leonard Fournette. 

 

The Buffalo Bills have released wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie. Last season he played in 15 games, starting eight. In those 15 games, he had 42 receptions for 423 yards, four receiving touchdowns and one rushing touchdown.

 

The Lions keep their kicker.

The Patriots are releasing versatile defensive back Jalen Mills, per ESPN. This move reportedly saves about $5 million against the cap. 

 
 

After taking Orlando Brown Jr. from the Chiefs, Bengals LT Jonah Williams has requested a trade, per ESPN. He's just 25 years old with 47 starts at LT. There should be plenty of interest in him. 

 
 

The Cowboys are bringing Dak Prescott's backup back. Cooper Rush gets a two-year deal for $6M max. 1st year & signing bonus fully guaranteed, per NFL Media.

 

Former Chargers/Jaguars/Titans kicker Josh Lambo is retiring from professional sports at the age of 32. 

 

The Seattle Seahawks had the seventh-worst defense in the NFL last season, and general manager John Schneider has reportedly brought someone in who can help on that side of the ball. On Thursday, the Seahawks agreed to terms on a one-year deal with former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Devin Bush, per The Seattle Times

The former No. 10 overall pick is a good flier for Seattle. He's just 24 going on 25 this offseason.

WINNERS AND LOSERS FROM NFL FREE AGENCY DAY 4:

In case you missed it, the Eagles have signed former No. 2 overall pick Marcus Mariota to a one-year deal for $5 million that can reach up to $8 million. He didn't last with the Falcons, but I think it's a great fit. For one, he's a good backup, and two, he's mobile. Philly likes its mobile QBs. Mariota actually would enter the game just to run the ball during his time as a backup with the Raiders.

The Raiders are bringing back Jermaine Eluemunor, per the Las Vegas Review-Journal. He started all 17 games last year, and has played all over the line. He won the right tackle job last year.

The Pats traded Jonnu Smith earlier this week, and now add Mike Gesicki to play alongside Hunter Henry. 

 

I think his best football could be ahead of him.
