Free-agent tight end
Tyler Conklin is signing an undisclosed one-year deal with the Detroit Lions on Friday, according to his agent, Mike McCartney. Conklin will join the Lions, his fourth different team, for his ninth NFL campaign in 2026. The 30-year-old veteran played for the Los Angeles Chargers last year and caught only seven of his 10 targets for 101 yards and no touchdowns in 13 regular-season games (five starts) as a depth option. The former fifth-round pick (157th overall) by the Minnesota Vikings in 2018 out of Central Michigan will likely be in a depth role again in his move to Motown, behind both
Sam LaPorta (back) and
Brock Wright (neck), leaving him avoidable in all fantasy football leagues. Conklin had a career-high 621 receiving yards in 2023 with the New York Jets, and he's never scored more than four times in a single season. He's caught a total of 270 passes in his career for 2,645 yards and 11 touchdowns across his eight seasons.

The Carolina Panthers are signing former Green Bay Packers left tackle Rasheed Walker to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday, sources told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Walker was one of the top free agents still on the open market. The 26-year-old was drafted in the seventh round (249th overall) by Green Bay back in 2022 out of Penn State. He has started 48 of the 52 games he's appeared in over his four years in the NFL, and he'll now head to the NFC South to give the Panthers another experienced left-tackle option in case Ikem Ekwonu (knee) isn't ready for the start of the 2026 regular season this fall after he tore the patellar tendon in his knee in the Wild-Card loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the postseason. Walker was the Packers' starting left tackle in 2025 and played in all 1,057 of their offensive snaps.

The Arizona Cardinals re-signed wide receiver
Simi Fehoko (wrist) to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. Fehoko didn't play behind Week 10 last year after suffering a wrist injury. The 28-year-old finished his fifth year in the league (first with Arizona) with no catches on no targets despite appearing in eight games for the Cardinals. The former fifth-round selection by the Dallas Cowboys in 2021 out of Stanford played just 37 offense snaps and 116 special teams snaps. In his five years in the NFL, Fehoko hasn't seen many opportunities as a pass-catcher, hauling in 10 of 22 targets for 139 yards and one touchdown in 32 games (two starts). He will return to the desert to provide WR depth behind
Marvin Harrison Jr.,
Michael Wilson, and
Kendrick Bourne. Fehoko can be ignored in all fantasy football formats.

The Washington Commanders are signing veteran free-agent wide receiver
Van Jefferson (forearm) to an undisclosed deal on Friday, a source told Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. Even though it's wide open right now behind WR1
Terry McLaurin in D.C., the 29-year-old Jefferson will most likely serve as a depth option for the Commanders in 2026. The team also brought back
Dyami Brown on Friday after he spent his first four seasons with Washington. Jefferson ended last year on Injured Reserve due to a forearm injury. Before his injury, the former second-round pick by the Los Angeles Rams in 2020 caught 29 of his 52 targets for 350 yards and one touchdown in 16 games (seven starts) with the Tennessee Titans. Jefferson's career year in 2021 with the Rams in his second year in the league has been the outlier, as he hasn't come anywhere close to the 802 receiving yards and six TDs he had that season. The Commanders are likely to bring in more receiving help via free agency and the draft, which would push Jefferson further down the WR depth chart.

The Washington Commanders are bringing free-agent wide receiver
Dyami Brown back on an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday, a source told Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. Brown will return to D.C. after he was drafted by Washington in the third round (82nd overall) in 2021 out of North Carolina. He had 59 catches on 102 targets for 784 yards and four touchdowns in 63 games (10 starts) in his first four years in the league with the Commanders before joining the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2025. In 14 regular-season contests (six starts) with the Jags last year, the 26-year-old pass-catcher had a 20-227-1 line on 37 targets. The Commanders are pretty desperate for WR options at the moment behind
Terry McLaurin, with
Deebo Samuel Sr.,
Noah Brown, and
Chris Moore all on the open market. The team also signed veteran
Van Jefferson on Friday, but Brown is better suited to potentially become Washington's No. 2 receiver in 2026, barring more additions in free agency or the draft.

The New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams are "making strong pushes" to land Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver
A.J. Brown in a trade, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic. No deals have been agreed to as negotiations continue, but both teams continue to "show heavy interest." The Pats continue to show interest in Brown despite signing Green Bay Packers wideout
Romeo Doubs, while the Rams are still interested despite already sending a first-round pick and other draft capital to the Kansas City Chiefs last week for cornerback Trent McDuffie. The Eagles don't have a ton of incentive to trade Brown, who has four straight 1,000-yard seasons, and they've reportedly been asking for a first-round pick and then some. Eagles GM Howie Roseman "won't part with a great player for nothing." For fantasy purposes, managers with Brown in dynasty/keeper leagues surely hope he isn't dealt to the Rams, where he'd be competing for targets with
Puka Nacua and
Davante Adams.

After the Baltimore Ravens backed out of a blockbuster trade earlier this week to acquire Las Vegas Raiders All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby (knee), the 28-year-old defensive end said that by training camp, he's going to be "200% ready" and the world will get the "best version" of himself, per NFL Network's Gerald McCoy on Good Morning Football. Crosby had surgery to fix the meniscus in his knee in January, which likely contributed to Baltimore getting cold feet, but he apparently plans to be a full-go by this summer for either the Raiders or another team that wants to give up two first-round picks for him. Already one of the best pass-rushers in the NFL, who has been very durable in his career, the nixed trade to the Ravens might have lit a fire under Crosby. Right now, the five-time Pro Bowler says he's fully committed to the Ravens and has already been at the team's facilities. The former fourth-rounder has 69.5 sacks in his seven NFL seasons and has double-digit sacks in three of the last four years. Crosby will remain a high-end defensive line target in IDP leagues in 2026.

Atlanta Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham said that new quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa knows "he is coming in to compete," with the same being said about
Michael Penix Jr. (knee), according to Tori McElhaney of AtlantaFalcons.com. "There are no starters right now," Cunningham added. The problem with Atlanta's QB competition this offseason is that Penix could be rehabbing for the vast majority, if not all, of the offseason after he suffered a torn ACL late in 2025. That could give Tua, who signed a one-year, $1.3 million contract with Atlanta, a leg up for the starting job entering the 2026 regular season this fall. The 28-year-old former first-rounder is injury-prone himself, though, and has had two straight disappointing seasons after leading the NFL with 4,624 passing yards in Miami in 2023. Both Tagovailoa and Penix have seen their dynasty stock fall in the past year. For Penix, it's mainly due to his knees; he's had three ACL surgeries now. If Tagaovailoa wins the job, he could be an interesting low-end QB2 with upside in a change of scenery and in an offense with some nice weapons.

The Indianapolis Colts re-signed tight end
Drew Ogletree to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday, league sources told James Boyd of The Athletic. The former sixth-round pick in 2022 out of Youngstown State missed his entire rookie season due to a torn ACL in his knee. Since then, he has had four touchdown catches in three years and has mostly been used as a blocker on offense. Ogletree has a total of 22 catches for 283 yards and four touchdowns on 41 targets in his three seasons played in Indianapolis. Last year was his worst stat-wise, as the 27-year-old caught just four passes on six targets for 27 yards and one touchdown in 15 games (five starts). Ogletree isn't even a stash option in dynasty/keeper leagues and could be the TE4 for the Colts going into next season, behind
Tyler Warren,
Will Mallory, and
Sean McKeon.

The Tennessee Titans are releasing cornerback L'Jarius Sneed on Friday, sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. The move will save the Titans $11.4 million against this year's salary cap. Sneed will now be a free agent and can sign with any team. After spending his first four seasons in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs, Sneed joined the Titans in 2024. The 29-year-old defensive back only ended up playing in 12 games the last two years in Nashville, though, due to injuries. In his 12 games, he had 49 tackles (37 solo) and three pass breakups. Sneed ended up being a bust for the Titans' defense after he signed a four-year, $76.4 million deal with the Titans in March of 2024. He had developed into a top cornerback in his time with the Chiefs, so another team in need of cornerback help is sure to pounce on Sneed as long as he's healthy. Sneed averaged three interceptions and 66.5 solo tackles in his four years in KC.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht announced on Friday that the team agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal to bring tight end
Ko Kieft (leg) back for the 2026 season. Kieft suffered a leg injury in Week 3 of last season and never played again. The 28-year-old former sixth-round selection by the Bucs out of Minnesota in 2022 has played for the team the last four years, catching only eight passes on 15 targets for 82 yards and two touchdowns. Both of his scores came in his first two years in the league. Kieft will return to Tampa for a fifth season, but he won't be anywhere on the fantasy football radar. He will most likely enter the 2026 regular season this fall as the TE3 behind both
Cade Otton and
Payne Durham. Kieft's best year was his rookie campaign in 2022, when he had seven catches for 80 yards and a touchdown. He hasn't caught a pass since 2023.

Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver
Jalen Tolbert is signing an undisclosed one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins on Friday, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Miami's new quarterback,
Malik Willis, was Tolbert's QB at the Senior Bowl when they were entering the league, and they are close friends. The versatile 27-year-old pass-catcher had over 1,000 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns with Dallas in his four seasons with the team. Tolbert's big season came in 2024 before
George Pickens arrived, when he caught 49 of his 79 targets for a career-high 610 yards and seven touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. The former third-rounder in 2022 out of South Alabama only had 18 grabs last year for 203 yards and one touchdown on 34 targets. With
Tyreek Hill leaving South Beach, Tolbert will have a prime opportunity to become the Dolphins' new WR2 behind
Jaylen Waddle, barring any additions to the WR room in the draft. Tolbert could be shaping up as a late-round sleeper target in fantasy football, especially if his chemistry with Willis is strong.

The Denver Broncos agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday to re-sign running back
Jaleel McLaughlin, a source told Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post. In addition to McLaughlin, the Broncos already brought back
J.K. Dobbins (foot), so they'll have a very similar backfield going into the 2026 campaign, depending on what they do in April's NFL draft. The 25-year-old had a career-low 37 carries last year for 187 yards and one touchdown in eight regular-season games, even with Dobbins suffering a season-ending foot injury halfway through the year. The Broncos also have last year's second-rounder,
RJ Harvey, who could have an even bigger role next to Dobbins next season. Unless injuries strike one of Dobbins or Harvey in 2026, McLaughlin probably isn't going to see the field all that often and could be a healthy scratch on game days more often than not. His dynasty/keeper stock is quickly plummeting.

Free-agent linebacker Arnold Ebiketie signed a one-year deal worth a maximum of $7.3 million with the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday, his agent told Adam Schefter of ESPN. The deal includes $4.3 million in guarantees. Ebiketie will help the Eagles' pass rush after they lost edge rusher Jaelan Phillips to the Carolina Panthers in free agency this week. The 27-year-old had a career-worst two sacks last year with the Atlanta Falcons as he became a rotational pass-rusher. Despite his low sack total, he was 10th in the NFL in quarterback pressure rate (16.4%) among players with at least 150 pass-rush snaps, according to Next Gen Stats. Ebiketie led Atlanta with six sacks in 2024 and also had six sacks in 2023. He was selected in the second round by the Falcons in 2022 out of Penn State. Ebiketie will certainly give Philly more pass-rush help, and he could be used more often than he was by the Falcons last year.

The Dallas Cowboys agreed to a one-year, $5.5 million deal with free-agent cornerback Cobie Durant on Thursday, his agent told Todd Archer of ESPN. DaRon Bland (foot) is coming back from foot surgery, and second-year corner
Shavon Revel continues to learn on the job after missing the first nine games of his rookie season last year while recovering from a torn ACL, so Dallas could use the help at cornerback. Durant spent the last four seasons playing for the Los Angeles Rams. He has seven career interceptions, with two of them returned for touchdowns. The 28-year-old tied his career-high with three picks last season. Durant was expendable in L.A. after the Rams acquired Trent McDuffie from the Kansas City Chiefs last week. The Cowboys also signed safety Jalen Thompson in free agency, and Durant will give Dallas' secondary flexibility, as he has the ability to move inside to play the nickel spot, if needed. The former fourth-rounder in 2022 out of South Carolina State has 141 career tackles (96 solo), two sacks, six tackles for loss, five QB hits, 26 pass breakups, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery in 61 games (39 starts).
