Free-agent defensive lineman Logan Hall signed with the Houston Texans on an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, a source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Hall was drafted in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft out of the University of Houston by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 25-year-old had 101 tackles (53 solo), 10 sacks, 15 tackles for loss, 23 QB hits, four pass breakups, and a forced fumble in 66 games (39 starts) in his four years with Tampa. Hall had a career-high 5.5 sacks in 16 games with the Bucs in 2024. He will not be on the fantasy radar in IDP formats in what should be a rotational role on Houston's defensive line in 2026 behind both Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson. In 17 games last year in his final season with Tampa, Hall had a career-high 39 tackles (18 solo), 1.5 sacks, six QB hits, a pass breakup, and a forced fumble.

The Las Vegas Raiders have received calls from "several" teams inquiring about the availability of All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby (knee) in a trade after the Baltimore Ravens backed out of their trade for Crosby on Tuesday, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN. For now, the Raiders are prepared to get Crosby "healthy and have him play for Las Vegas." However, they are listening to other teams. Apparently, the Ravens didn't like what they saw in the 28-year-old's physical after he had meniscus surgery in January. Although Crosby has gone under the knife quite a bit in his career, he's started 104 of the 110 games he's appeared in and is expected to be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season this fall after the Raiders held him out of the final two games last year. His agent, CJ LaBoy, said Crosby is "on track to return during the offseason program." Regardless of where Crosby is playing in 2026, as long as he's healthy, he'll be a starting defensive line option in IDP fantasy formats.

The Dallas Cowboys have signed quarterback
Sam Howell to a one-year contract, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Howell's journey around the NFC East continues; the former UNC product has already spent time with the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles, and he also made two appearances with the Seattle Seahawks in 2024. That 2024 campaign was the last time Howell saw game action, and at this point in his career, he's more of a steady backup option than a potential NFL starter. That explains why he's heading to Dallas, where he'll compete for the No. 2 quarterback job alongside
Joe Milton III (and behind
Dak Prescott). Howell's 26 total touchdowns in 2023 revealed his encouraging upside, but he also had 21 interceptions that year, pointing to some real turnover concerns. Fantasy managers should leave him on waivers in all leagues (including dynasty formats) as long as Prescott remains healthy.

The Pittsburgh Steelers could make linebacker Patrick Queen available for trade this offseason, according to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Harris explains that a "handful of teams," including the Philadelphia Eagles, have inquired about trading for Queen. At this point, Pittsburgh isn't actively shopping the defender, but it appears that they're at least interested in making a deal. Specifically, Harris reports that the Steelers would like to acquire a mid-round draft pick in any trade for Queen. The former first-round pick has spent six seasons in the AFC North -- four with Baltimore and two with Pittsburgh. He's a two-time Pro Bowler and has recorded at least 117 tackles in each of the last four years. While the Eagles have already been linked to Queen, Harris also raises the idea of a potential trade with the Dallas Cowboys, who are actively seeking linebacker upgrades despite already adding Rashan Gary.

Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Osa Odighizuwa could be available for trade this offseason, according to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports. Jones wrote that teams are reportedly "keeping an eye" on the defender's status, and many of those organizations "believe he can now be traded for." The rumors are one thing, but whether a trade will actually come to fruition remains to be seen. Odighizuwa's contract is a key factor for a potential trade partner to consider. Entering Year 2 of a four-year, $80 million contract, Odighizuwa is controllable for another few seasons, but he's also a bit pricey. The 27-year-old has appeared in 17 games for four consecutive years, starting 13 of those 17 contests in 2025. He amassed 44 tackles, 23 quarterback hits, and 3.5 sacks throughout the course of the season. If he does get dealt, the Cowboys could look for a little more production out of fellow veteran defensive end Solomon Thomas.

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.
