Free-agent linebacker Lavonte David (knee) has expressed a desire to continue playing in Tampa Bay. In fact, he said that he will retire if he does not re-sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This isn't a very surprising verdict from the veteran defender, who has spent all 14 of his NFL seasons with the Bucs. He continued to play at a high level during his age-35 campaign last year, starting all 17 games with one interception, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, 3.5 sacks, and 114 tackles. David, who recently underwent arthroscopic surgery to clean up his knee, indicated that he'll make a decision on his future sooner rather than later. If he does return to the Bucs for another season, he'll presumably compete for a starting linebacker role alongside recent free agent addition Alex Anzalone.

The Cleveland Browns have signed center Elgton Jenkins to a two-year contract, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. The 30-year-old is a former second-round pick and two-time Pro Bowler who spent each of his first seven NFL seasons with the Green Bay Packers. He has experience across various spots on the offensive line but will presumably slot in as the Browns' starting center, replacing free agent Ethan Pocic. Jenkins has started every game in which he has played since 2020, but injuries limited him to a modest nine contests in 2025. The Browns will hope that he can stay healthier in 2026 to provide more consistency along an offensive line that struggled last season. Cleveland's unit finished second-worst among 32 teams in PFF's end-of-year offensive line rankings.

The Washington Commanders have signed linebacker Leo Chenal to a three-year deal, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. The former third-round pick hit free agency for the first time in his career this offseason, following a four-year stint in Kansas City. Across 14 games (12 starts) with the Chiefs last season, he totaled one interception, two passes defended, two sacks, five quarterback hits, and 58 tackles. The University of Wisconsin product played a key role in Kansas City, and he should have similar responsibilities in a Washington defense looking to make key improvements from last season. He should start opposite Frankie Luvu and is presumably the Commanders' preferred choice to replace free agent Bobby Wagner on defense.

The Tennessee Titans have signed free-agent defensive tackle Jordan Elliott to a two-year, $8 million deal that is worth up to $8.5 million in total, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Eliott spent the last two years in San Francisco, and he'll now follow his former 49ers defensive coordinator, Robert Saleh, to Tennessee, where Saleh is the new head coach. Elliott was one of the few 49ers' defensive contributors who stayed healthy for most of last season, as he made 16 starts across 16 games in 2025. He was held without a sack for the second consecutive season, but he did amass a respectable 31 tackles and two quarterback hits. He figures to be a key piece of Tennessee's defense as the unit looks to take a major step forward in 2026 under Saleh's guidance.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and defensive tackle Cameron Heyward have agreed to a new two-year contract worth $32.25 million, according to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic. The deal guarantees Heyward's 2026 salary and keeps him under contract with the team through 2027. He'll now enter the 2026 season without the stress of marketing himself for a new contract, and given that Heyward is 37 years old, it's possible that this deal will take him through the end of his NFL career. The lifetime Steeler has spent all 15 of his NFL seasons in Pittsburgh. Most recently in 2025, he made 17 starts with one forced fumble, 3.5 sacks, nine quarterback hits, and 78 tackles. He provides the Steelers with defensive line continuity alongside pass-rushing star T.J. Watt.

The Philadelphia Eagles are re-signing tight end
Grant Calcaterra to a one-year deal, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Philadelphia entered this offseason with its top three tight ends all slated to hit unrestricted free agency. While
Dallas Goedert and
Kylen Granson remain unsigned, Philadelphia at least brought back one key player at the position in Calcaterra. They also made an external move, signing ex-Jaguars blocking tight end
Johnny Mundt. There's still plenty of offseason remaining for Philadelphia to strengthen the position group, and we can't rule out a Goedert return. As it stands at this very second, though, Calcaterra projects as the Eagles' No. 1 tight end. The 27-year-old might not be ready to make that jump after he caught just nine passes for 76 yards and a touchdown in 2025. On a more positive note, he did have 24 catches, 298 yards, and one touchdown back in 2024. He fits best as a backup tight end who can make an occasional spot start here or there, so we wouldn't be surprised to see the Eagles bring back Goedert or pursue a different No. 1 tight end via free agency, trade, or the NFL Draft.

The Philadelphia Eagles are signing free-agent cornerback Riq Woolen to a one-year deal worth up to $15 million, according to Adam Schefter and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Woolen spent his first four NFL seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, earning Pro Bowl honors as a rookie in 2022 and winning a Super Bowl during a contract year in 2025. Across 16 games (seven starts) this past season, he registered 41 tackles, 12 passes defended, and one interception. He has certainly taken a step back since his six-interception campaign in 2022, but the Eagles are hopeful that he can return to his early-career form and make a big impact in their secondary. He should fill a prominent role within a cornerback rotation that also features Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean.

The New Orleans Saints have signed linebacker Kaden Elliss to a three-year, $33 million deal that includes $23 million guaranteed, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. The contract has a maximum potential value of nearly $39 million. Rapoport describes Elliss as a new "lynchpin" within New Orleans' defense, as he'll take on a key role in the defensive rotation after a successful stint in Atlanta. He started all 51 games over three years with the Falcons, amassing 3.5 sacks, 10 quarterback hits, 107 tackles, and one interception in 2025. While Elliss is switching teams in the NFC South, this isn't exactly a new home for him. He spent his first four NFL seasons with the Saints, ascending into an 11-game starter during his contract year in 2022.

The New York Giants have signed free-agent fullback
Patrick Ricard, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Ricard is the latest ex-Ravens player to follow head coach John Harbaugh from Baltimore to New York. The 31-year-old University of Maine product spent his first nine NFL seasons with the Ravens, and he was named a Pro Bowler in six of the last seven years. Most of his contributions came as a blocker for
Lamar Jackson and
Derrick Henry in 2025, but he did hold the football from time to time with two touches and 11 total scrimmage yards. He also has a little bit of experience on the defensive line, but he hasn't registered a tackle since 2022, so it's safe to say that most of his value comes in blocking assignments on offense. We already know he fits Harbaugh's scheme nicely, and now, we'll get to see what he can do in an up-and-coming offense anchored by young quarterback
Jaxson Dart and physical running back
Cam Skattebo (ankle).

The Philadelphia Eagles have signed tight end
Johnny Mundt to a one-year deal, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Mundt is primarily known for his blocking, as he caught just nine passes and scored zero touchdowns across 16 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2025. Released by the Jaguars last week, Mundt possesses nine years of NFL experience with stops in Los Angeles (Rams), Minnesota, and Jacksonville. He'll offer much-needed depth for the Eagles, who entered this offseason with their top three tight ends slated for free agency. Philadelphia already re-signed
Grant Calcaterra, but
Dallas Goedert and
Kylen Granson are still unrestricted free agents. If neither Goedert nor Granson returns, Mundt would slot in as the team's No. 2 tight end, at least for the time being. Even so, his proficiency as a blocker limits his receiving upside and keeps him off the fantasy radar in most leagues.

The Las Vegas Raiders announced on Tuesday that the Baltimore Ravens "have backed out of our trade agreement" for All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby (knee), according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The Ravens agreed last Friday to send a first-rounder in 2026 and a first-round draft pick in 2027 to the Raiders for Crosby. Apparently, the Ravens saw something in the 28-year-old's medicals that they didn't like. Remember, the Raiders shut Crosby down (against his wishes) for the final two games of the 2025 season, and he eventually had meniscus surgery in January. It's very possible that Crosby still isn't fully healed, and the Ravens got spooked. For now, Crosby, who remains under contract in Vegas, will return to the Raiders. It's unclear if they will attempt to trade him to another team or if Crosby's price will go down after the failed trade attempt with Baltimore.

The Green Bay Packers signed former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver/returner
Skyy Moore to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Moore averaged 27.5 yards per kick return and 11.6 yards per punt return last year with San Francisco. On offense, the 25-year-old former second-round pick (54th overall) by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2022 out of Western Michigan only caught five of seven targets for 87 yards in 17 regular-season games. Moore didn't do a ton in his first three years with the Chiefs on offense, either, contributing just 43 receptions on 74 targets for 494 yards and one touchdown in 36 games (11 starts). More than anything else, Moore will give the Packers a boost on special teams as a return man. In fantasy football, however, he should continue to be ignored across the board.

Former Miami Dolphins kicker
Jason Sanders signed an undisclosed one-year deal with the New York Giants on Tuesday, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Sanders missed all of the 2025 season due to a hip injury and was released by Miami. The 30-year-old veteran will now head to the NFC East, where he could quickly become a valuable kicker in fantasy if he's fully healthy in a Giants offense with all kinds of explosive weapons. Sanders has made 84.6% of his 221 career field-goal attempts (33-for-48 from 50-plus yards) in his seven years in the NFL. The former seventh-round pick in 2018 out of New Mexico went 37-for-41 on field goals (12-for-14 from 50-plus yards) and 26-for-28 on extra-point attempts in 17 games in his last healthy season in 2024. Sanders will be firmly in sleeper territory at the kicking position if he wins the Giants' placekicker job.

Veteran free-agent quarterback
Teddy Bridgewater is signing an undisclosed deal with the Detroit Lions on Tuesday, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Bridgewater will return to Motown after serving as
Jared Goff's backup in 2023 and 2024. The 33-year-old 11-year NFL veteran hasn't started a game since 2022 with the Miami Dolphins and has gone 8-for-15 passing for 62 yards in five appearances over the last three seasons. Bridgewater was the backup to
Baker Mayfield with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2025. The former first-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2014 out of Louisville has plenty of experience in the league, but the Lions' offense will have very limited upside if Goff gets injured and Bridgewater is forced into a starting role. He's completed 66.3% of his 2,082 pass attempts in his career since entering the league in 2014.

If the Arizona Cardinals plan to start veteran quarterback
Jacoby Brissett again in 2026, they "have yet to make him aware of those plans," according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. The Cardinals have not told Brissett that he will be their starting QB in 2026, according to a source. He is still under contract for this year and is scheduled to make $4.88 million. Arizona has moved on from former first overall pick
Kyler Murray (foot), and they signed veteran
Gardner Minshew to a one-year deal on Monday, but Brissett is expected to remain under center after impressing in 2025. The 33-year-old became an unlikely QB streamer in fantasy football after taking over the Cardinals offense in Week 6, ultimately finishing with a career-best 3,366 passing yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 14 games (12 starts). New head coach Mike LaFleur will likely make the Cardinals offense more balanced in 2026, though, making it more unlikely that Brissett will have the kind of upside he had in 2025.
