| 4/27/2026 1:01:00 PM | The Vikings exercised Addison's fifth-year option Monday. |
| Vikings EVP of football operations Rob Brzezinski said last month that the team would be making this move, and it's now official. Addison will earn $18 million in 2027 as a result. The 23rd overall pick in the 2023 Draft, Addison has shown flashes of big-time playmaking ability during his first three seasons, but he also was a victim of extremely poor quarterback play during the 2025 campaign. With Kyler Murray now in town to compete with J.J. McCarthy (hand), the Vikings are banking on more competency under center, which should obviously help Justin Jefferson and Addison produce better numbers in the box score. | |
| 4/24/2026 1:04:00 PM | The Eagles' selection of WR Makai Lemon with the No. 20 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft provides further indication that the team is preparing to move on from Brown, Tim McManus of ESPN.com and Zach Berman of The Athletic report. |
| McManus notes that Adam Schefter of ESPN previously suggested Brown appears likely to be traded to the Patriots on or after June 1, and the addition of Lemon to a Philadelphia wideout corps that has already brought in Hollywood Brown, Dontayvion Wicks and Elijah Moore this offseason is another sign pointing to such an outcome. Meanwhile, the Patriots opted to bolster their offensive line depth in Round 1 rather than add a high-profile rookie WR by selecting offensive tackle Caleb Lomu 28th overall. For his part, however, Eagles GM Howie Roseman remains reluctant to tip his hand regarding the team's plans for Brown, stating Thursday, "For us, A.J. is a member of the Eagles. ... We don't have any trades that have been made or that are done. And I think for us, we're taking this one day at a time." | |
| 4/22/2026 7:15:00 PM | General manager Chris Ballard said Monday that Shrader (knee) will kick with the team during training camp in July, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports. |
| Shrader tore the ACL in his plant leg when he was run into on an extra-point attempt in Week 5 of the 2025 season versus the Raiders, but he appears to be progressing well in his recovery. Per Ballard, he recently made a 54-yard field goal during a workout. He performed well as Indianapolis' starting kicker last year before suffering the season-ending injury, making 13 of his 14 field-goal attempts and all 14 of his extra-point tries over five games, but Blake Grupe, who signed a one-year, $1.4 million contract with the Colts in March, will be tough competition for the club's starting kicker job this summer. | |
| 4/10/2026 4:58:00 PM | The Falcons picked up the fifth-year option of Robinson's rookie contract Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| The transaction keeps Robinson under contract through 2027 and provides Atlanta more time to negotiate a potential long-term extension, so it's little surprise to see the team pick up the 2023 first-round pick's fifth-year option. Robinson has compiled back-to-back years with over 1,400 rushing yards, and in 2025 he added a 79-829-4 receiving line (104 targets) while suiting up for all 17 regular-season games. The star running back also had seven rushing scores and a career-high 5.1 YPC mark in 2025. Even given the uncertainty surrounding Atlanta's offense -- there's a QB battle between Michael Penix (knee) and Tua Tagovailoa looming this offseason, and the surprise retirement of RT Kaleb McGary (leg) has prompted the team to sign Jawaan Taylor -- Robinson is firmly in the mix for consideration as not only the top RB off the board in 2026 fantasy drafts, but as the No.1 overall selection. | |
| 3/12/2026 9:46:00 AM | The Dolphins re-signed Patterson on Thursday. |
| Patterson's return to Miami makes sense after he started all 17 regular-season games for the team last year, converting an impressive 27 of his 29 field-goal tries and all but one of his 35 PATs. The success Patterson demonstrated makes him the favorite to open 2026 as the Dolphins' starter, and prompted the team to move on from longtime kicker Jason Sanders (now with the Giants) to begin the offseason. Patterson will have competition for the No. 1 gig, though, in the form of new signee Zane Gonzalez. | |
| 3/11/2026 10:14:00 AM | Allen (foot) is restructuring his contract with the Bills, creating $12 million of 2026 cap space for the team, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| This helps to make room for new addition DJ Moore, who finished the 2025 regular season with a career-low 682 receiving yards. Moore turns 29 in April and should have more to offer in 2026, joining a Buffalo offense where RB James Cook, WR Khalil Shakir and TE Dalton Kincaid are the main weapons. Allen, meanwhile, is recovering from late-January surgery to address a broken bone in his right foot. He should be fine for training camp, if not spring practices, with initial reports estimating a recovery timeline of 8-to-10 weeks. | |
| 3/8/2026 4:54:00 PM | Grupe agreed to a one-year contract worth up to $1.4 million with the Colts on Sunday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. |
| Grupe converted all 11 of his field-goal attempts and 10 PAT tries across the Colts' final five regular-season games last year. Indianapolis signed the 27-year-old from its practice squad after moving on from Michael Badgley in December. Grupe opened the season with the Saints but was waived in late November after he hit 18 of 26 field-goal tries over 11 appearances. He now will compete with Spencer Schrader for the Colts' starting kicker job this offseason, per James Boyd of The Athletic. | |
| 3/6/2026 3:43:00 PM | The Texans released Mixon (foot) on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| This move was always coming after Houston traded for David Montgomery earlier in the week. Mixon missed the entirety of the 2025 season recovering from some sort of foot injury that neither the team nor player has discussed much through the media. It's unclear what kind of timeline Mixon is looking at in his recovery and return to the field. The move saves the Texans $8 million in cap space. Mixon will turn 30 years old in July and has lacked big-play ability in recent years. The two-time Pro Bowl selection has 7,428 career rushing yards and 60 touchdowns. His days of being an every-down back are likely over. | |

| 2/7/2026 3:41:00 PM | Tuten finished the 2025 season with 307 yards and five touchdowns on 83 rushing attempts. He also had 10 catches for 79 yards and two touchdowns in 15 regular-season games. |
| A finger injury kept Tuten out for two games in 2025. When available, the fourth-round rookie carried the ball in every game he appeared in during the season, with his most impactful game occurring in Week 11, when he had 15 attempts. Travis Etienne remained the starter for the entirety of the season, but he is expected to be an unrestricted free agent in March. Should Etienne leave, Tuten could have an opportunity for a larger role in 2026. | |
| 2/3/2026 12:54:00 PM | Bernard (calf) tallied 65 total tackles (44 solo) and three passes defensed, including one interception, over 12 regular-season contests in 2025. |
| Bernard has seen vast declines across several statistical categories over the last two seasons, recording fewer total tackles (143 to 65), sacks (6.5 to zero), passes defensed (five to three) and interceptions (three to one) compared to his 2023 campaign. However, his 2025 season was cut short by injuries, as he missed five regular-season contests and both of the Bills' playoff games. Bernard was one of Buffalo's best tacklers when healthy, recording the fourth-most stops on the team. Under contract through 2029, the Baylor product is expected to remain one of the Bills' top inside linebackers in 2026. | |
| 1/21/2026 8:10:00 PM | San Francisco signed Martinez to a reserve/future contract Tuesday. |
| Martinez spent most of the 2025 season on the 49ers' and the Jets' practice squads, taking just one snap with San Francisco in Week 9 against the Giants to execute the game-ending kneel down. It appears the 49ers saw something they liked in Martinez, though, so he'll be staying with them to begin the 2026 league year. | |
| 1/21/2026 3:23:00 PM | San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that he expects Jones to be with the 49ers for 2026, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. |
| General manager John Lynch also praised Jones but didn't comment on expectations for next season. Jones went 5-3 as a starter while completing 69.6 percent of his passes for 7.4 YPA, giving the 49ers a fantastic return on their investment in the first season of a two-year, $8.4 million contract. He probably won't be content to return to San Francisco as an underpaid backup, but his contract does give the team some leverage in discussions about a trade or raise. | |
| 1/19/2026 4:02:00 PM | Purdy said Monday that he will not require an offseason procedure to address the turf toe injury that hampered him early during the 2025 campaign, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. |
| Purdy's turf toe injury bothered him as early as Week 1, and, in conjunction with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder, he was forced him to miss two games. In his return to action Week 4, he then aggravated the toe issue, resulting in a six-game stretch on the sidelines. Purdy said he'll continue strengthening the toe this offseason, but the issue won't cause him any limitations during team activities or require surgery. Across his nine combined regular-season appearances and two playoff tilts, Purdy completed an impressive 230 of 342 pass attempts for 2,569 yards, 22 touchdowns and three interceptions, while also rushing 47 times for 208 yards and three scores. Looking ahead to the 2026 campaign, however, Purdy's fantasy prospects look murky. George Kittle (Achilles) is recovering from a significant injury, while at wide receiver Jauan Jennings is staring down free agency, and injuries consistently hampered Ricky Pearsall in 2025. | |
| 1/8/2026 9:24:00 PM | Werner finished the 2025 season with 81 tackles (50 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and five passes defended across 17 appearances. |
| Werner posted 80 or more tackles for the fourth year in a row, and he played every regular-season game for the first time in his career. The 26-year-old finished third on the Saints in tackles behind fellow inside linebacker Demario Davis (143) and cornerback Alontae Taylor (83). As long as Davis continues playing for New Orleans, Werner figures to remain in a secondary role in 2026. | |
| 1/8/2026 8:49:00 PM | Burns totaled 67 tackles, including 16.5 sacks, along with seven defensed passes, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over 17 games during the 2025-26 campaign. |
| Burns started the season on a heater with 5.0 sacks over his first four games and never looked back. His ultimate total of 16.5 sacks was as many as he recorded over the previous two season combined, established a new career-best mark, and ranked second in the NFL. Burns earned his third Pro Bowl nod for his outstanding campaign and certainly justified the five-year, $141 contract he received from New York in March of 2024. | |
| 1/7/2026 7:09:00 PM | Oluokun recorded eight tackles (three solo) and one pass defensed during Sunday's 41-7 win against the Titans. |
| It was a solid finish to the regular season for Oluokun, whose 143 total tackles across 17 games tied for 10th in the NFL. It's the sixth straight campaign with triple-digit tackles for the 30-year-old. He also recorded one sack, one interception, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in 2025. Oluokun restructured his contract with the Jaguars in November to free up some cap space, so he's a safe bet to be back for 2026 and is likely to continue to be one of the most prolific tacklers in the league. | |
| 1/7/2026 1:01:00 PM | Tucker caught two of six targets for 30 yards and rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 14-12 win over the Chiefs. He finished the regular season with 57 receptions for 696 yards and five touchdowns on 92 targets, adding 11 rushes for 51 yards over 17 games. |
| Tucker set career highs in targets, receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns as a pass catcher this season, pacing the team with 696 receiving yards. The 24-year-old wideout operated as the Raiders' No. 1 wide receiver following the trade of Jakobi Meyers to the Jaguars, leaving him and tight end Brock Bowers as the two top pass-catching options in a struggling Raiders offense. Tucker will enter the final year of his rookie contract in 2026, and it stands to reason that the team saw enough out of him this season to continue to feature him as one of the focal points of the Raiders' aerial attack next season. Nonetheless, Tucker and the rest of the skill-position players suffered from subpar quarterback this year, capping their output. For the Cincinnati product to build upon his success this season, the Raiders will need to figure out a way to cure their offensive woes. | |

| 1/4/2026 7:18:00 PM | Pollard rushed the ball 14 times for 48 yards in Sunday's 41-7 loss to the Jaguars. He added three receptions on three targets for 17 yards. |
| Pollard was unable to keep his recent level of play going, falling below 95 yards from scrimmage for the first time since Week 13. He still dominated work out of the Titans' backfield, however, and found enough running room to set a new career high of 1,082 rushing yards for the season. Pollard is set to enter the final year of his current contract with the Titans and is likely to remain the team's lead back in 2026. | |
| 1/4/2026 4:32:00 PM | Tracy rushed 18 times for 103 yards and lost a fumble while catching eight of nine targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys. He finishes the 2025 season with 740 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, as well as 36 catches for 288 yards and two touchdowns on 48 targets. |
| Tracy capped his sophomore season with a career-high 159 scrimmage yards as the Giants notched their fourth win of the campaign. Rookie fourth-round pick Cam Skattebo established himself as the lead back prior to dislocating his ankle in Week 8, but Tracy figures to maintain a substantial role in the Giants' 2026 backfield regardless of how Skattebo's recovery goes. Tracy has exceeded 1,000 scrimmage yards in each of his first two NFL seasons. | |
