The Seattle Seahawks exercised offensive tackle Charles Cross' fifth-year option for the 2026 season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Cross, the ninth overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft out of Mississippi State, is now under contract with Seattle for the next two seasons. The 24-year-old is expected to open his fourth season in the NFL in 2025 as the Seahawks' starting left tackle while protecting new quarterback
Sam Darnold's blind side. In his first three years in the NFL, Cross has started all 48 games that he's appeared in and has missed only three games. He will remain a fixture on Seattle's offensive line for at least another two seasons and possibly more.

The Philadelphia Eagles declined the fifth-year option for the 2026 season on offensive guard Kenyon Green, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Green will now become an unrestricted free agent after the 2025 season. The Eagles acquired Green from the Houston Texans in March in exchange for defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson and a sixth-round pick. It's no surprise that Philly didn't pick up Green's fifth-year option, as he was a disappointment in his three years in Houston and missed all of the 2023 season due to a shoulder injury. The 24-year-old former 15th overall pick in 2022 by the Texans out of Texas A&M only played in 12 games (nine starts) in 2024 in his final season in Houston. Green also dealt with injuries in 2024 and ended last year on the bench.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are not picking up the fifth-year option for the 2026 season on linebacker Devin Lloyd, a league source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Lloyd will now become an unrestricted free agent after the 2025 campaign. The 26-year-old linebacker was taken with the 27th overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft out of Utah and has been very productive for the organization, tallying 100-plus combined tackles in all three of his NFL seasons, although he's been a liability in pass coverage. Lloyd has a total of 335 tackles (195 solo), two sacks, nine tackles for loss, eight QB hits, four interceptions, 19 pass breakups, a forced fumble and four fumble recoveries in 48 games (46 starts). He finished last year as the No. 30 fantasy linebacker in IDP formats and should be one of the team's leading tacklers again in 2025 if he stays healthy.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that "when the staff is in place, the jump from Year 1 to Year 2, I think that's where guys make a huge jump," when referring to second-year wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. Gannon said that Harrison "went to work" on his weaknesses this offseason and "looks awesome out there right now." "I'm really excited to see where his game goes." The 22-year-old Ohio State product had very high expectations in his rookie year in the NFL in 2024 after being taken fourth overall by the Cardinals in last year's draft. Even though he had eight touchdowns in 17 games, his 62 receptions (116 targets) and 885 yards were considered a disappointment for fantasy managers that drafted him as a WR1 talent right away. If he can gain more chemistry with quarterback
Kyler Murray, a 1,000-yard season in Year 2 in 2025 is entirely possible.

The New York Giants already announced that they are not picking up the fifth-year option on offensive tackle Evan Neal heading into the final year of his rookie deal in 2025, and now he's set for a position change. The New York Post's Paul Schwartz reports that the Giants will attempt to resuscitate Neal's NFL career by moving him from tackle to guard. The 24-year-old former seventh overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft out of Alabama has failed to live up to his draft position at right tackle and was benched early in the 2024 season. In addition to his poor play, Neal also dealt with hip and rib injuries and played in just 16 games over the last two seasons. Even if Neal takes well to the position switch in 2025, there's no guarantee that he'll stick around in the Big Apple beyond next year. He is expected to compete at the right-guard spot in training camp this summer.

The Dallas Cowboys announced on Wednesday that they waived running back
Malik Davis, offensive linemen Jack Anderson and Earl Bostick and linebacker Brock Mogensen. Davis spent the entire 2024 season on the Cowboys' practice squad and then signed a Reserve/Futures deal with the organization in early January. The 26-year-old former undrafted free agent out of the University of Florida played in only three games with Dallas in 2023 and has 38 rushing attempts for 161 yards and one touchdown in his two years in the NFL. Davis played 45 snaps on special teams in three games in 2023 and wasn't used at all on offense. He will now be looking to join another team before training camps kick off at the end of July.

The Kansas City Chiefs released tight ends
Anthony Firkser and
Baylor Cupp, linebacker Shaun Bradley, offensive guard McKade Mettauer and safety Jason Taylor on Wednesday, according to KPRC's Aaron Wilson. They also received an international exemption for offensive tackle Chukwuebuka Godrick. Firkser is the biggest name of the bunch. The 30-year-old veteran tight end played for both the Chiefs and New York Jets last year but didn't contribute at all on offense and wasn't targeted in the passing game in seven total games with both teams. He signed a Reserve/Futures deal after KC's Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles but will now be searching for a new organization after the 2025 NFL draft. Firkser hasn't caught a pass in the NFL since 2022 with the Atlanta Falcons.

The New England Patriots are not picking up the fifth-year option for the 2026 season on offensive lineman Cole Strange, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The option for the 2026 season would have paid Strange around $16.7 million. The 26-year-old center is now in line to hit the open market after the 2025 season, unless the Patriots sign him to a long-term extension before then. He was the 29th overall pick by New England in the 2022 NFL draft out of Chattanooga. Strange started 17 games at left guard in his rookie season in 2022 but struggled with injuries in each of the past two seasons, playing in a combined 13 games (12 starts). He suited up for only three games (two starts) last year. Now that he's back to full health in advance of the 2025 campaign, he's expected to serve in a backup role behind newcomer Garrett Bradbury.

The Green Bay Packers have officially picked up defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt's fifth-year option ahead of the May 1 deadline, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Wyatt was the No. 28 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Georgia and has tallied 74 tackles (43 solo), 12 sacks, one forced fumble, three fumble recoveries, and 12 run stuffs in 47 career games. The 300-pounder has pass-rush skills from the interior that are valuable to any defense. He is now locked in with the organization through the 2026 campaign and will earn $12.9 million guaranteed on the final year of his rookie deal.

New York Jets quarterback
Jordan Travis (leg) is retiring from football after being medically advised to end his career, he announced on X. The former Florida State quarterback suffered a major leg injury in November of 2023 after leading the Seminoles to an 11-0 record. His season ended ahead of postseason action, but he was still selected by the Jets in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Travis spent the entire 2024 season rehabilitating his injury, but rehab efforts were unsuccessful. Travis never got to play a snap in the NFL, but he'll end his football journey at age 24 with an ACC Offensive Player of the Year award and two all-ACC selections in 2022 and 2023.

The Pittsburgh Steelers released defensive lineman Montravius Adams on Wednesday, the team announced on X. Adams spent the last four seasons with the Steelers following one season with the New Orleans Saints and four seasons with the Green Bay Packers. The former third-round pick out of Auburn in 2017 saw his playing time dramatical dip in 2024, recording zero starts after making 17 starts in the two seasons prior. Overall, the veteran has tallied 123 tackles (61 solo), 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, seven pass deflections, and 14.5 run stuffs in 96 career games. While he's unlikely to be a clear-cut starter moving forward, there are plenty of teams lacking interior defensive line depth that could be interested in his services.

The Philadelphia Eagles exercised the fifth-year option on defensive tackle
Jordan Davis, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. Davis, the former No. 13 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Georgia, has tallied 90 tackles (41 solo), 3.5 sacks, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, four pass deflections, and 13 run stuffs in 47 career games. His counting stats don't do his play justice as an interior run-clogger, but he's an important piece on the dominant Philly defensive front, so this move comes as no surprise. This will keep Davis with the organization through the 2026 campaign, barring a trade or unexpected situation.
