|---|---|---|---|---|
| WR | Davante Adams | GB | GB | Adams has been the best WR in the league and wants to be paid like it. They've applied the franchise tag but he will reportedly refuse to play on it. Expect the two sides to work out some sort of long term deal. |
| WR | Chris Godwin | TB | TB | Chris Godwin has been exactly what you want out of your slot/flanker and pairs well with split end Mike Evans. The Bucs used the franchise tag to keep him in Tampa. |
| WR | Mike Williams | LAC | LAC | Mike Williams was playing on the 5th year option of his rookie deal in 2021 and put together a good enough season to warrant the franchise tag. He won't hit proper free agency for the first time until next season when he's 28. |
| OT | Orlando Brown | KC | KC | Orlando Brown Jr. wanted to play left tackle but the Ravens already had Ronnie Staley. So they shipped Brown to KC where he performed well enough to earn the franchise tag. |
| TE | Mike Gesicki | MIA | MIA | Mike Gesicki is technically a tight end but the reality is he played over 90% of his snaps at wide receiver, which has been the case ever since Chan Gailey moved him there the way he used Antonio Gonzalez and Eric Decker. He's been franchise tagged as a tight end which is far more affordable than the WR tag. |
| DB | Jessie Bates | CIN | CIN | The free safety showed he can cover a lot of ground as a single high defender and deserves to get paid. He reportedly says he is willing to play under the franchise tag in 2021 if need be. |
| C | Ryan Jensen | TB | TB | One of the better run blocking centers will return to Tampa Bay on what is being reported as a 3 year deal. The announcement came shortly after Tom Brady announced his own return. Interesting timing. |
| LB | Harold Landry | TEN | TEN | The second round pick out of Boston College has lived up to his draft capital and had his best season yet in 2021 in terms of getting to the QB. The deal is 5 years, $87.5 million with $52.5 million guaranteed. |
| TE | Dalton Schultz | DAL | DAL | With injuries to Michael Gallup, Blake Jarwin, Amari Cooper, and Ceedee Lamb at various times, Dalton Schultz was there all season to pick up the slack. They applied the franchise tag to keep him for 2022. |
| OL | Cam Robinson | JAC | JAC | The 2nd round pick has anchored the Jaguars line at the left tackle. They've applied the franchise tag and will reportedly try to work out a long term deal. |
| TE | David Njoku | CLE | CLE | David Njoku is another 1st rounder who now won't hit free agency until after his 6th year in the league. Last year he was on his 5th year option and now he's been franchise tagged. |
| DL | Maurice Hurst | SF | SF | The big defensive tackle from Massachusetts is more of a run stuffer than a threat in pass rush though he did have a couple early seasons with 4 and 3.5 sacks. He signs for the league minimum of just under $1.2 million. |
| RB | James Conner | ARI | ARI | It's being reported that James Conner will return to the Cardinals on a three year deal. He had a nose for the end zone in 2021 racking up 18 touchdowns. |
| RB | Chase Edmonds | ARI | MIA | Edmonds has been a solid back when healthy, especially as a threat in the pass game. He signs a two year, $12.6 million dollar deal to go to Miami. |
| TE | Geoff Swaim | TEN | TEN | Swaim is known more for his blocking ability but contributed a bit in the passing game this year in the absence of Jonnu Smith. The real is reportedly one year. |
| OG | Alex Cappa | TB | CIN | Alex Cappa was a third round pick for Tampa Bay and has been a reliable guard throughout his rookie deal. The Bengals bring him in on a 4 year, $40 million deal in their quest to bolster the offensive line. |
| QB | Mitchell Trubisky | BUF | PIT | The Trubisky marketing team was seemingly working overtime to generate interest in the embattled quarterback this offseason with reported interest from teams like the Giants. He lands with the Steelers to likely be the starting QB in 2022. |
| OL | Joe Noteboom | LA | LA | The Rams reportedly bring the tackle back on a three year deal with a base of $40 million and $25 million guaranteed. There have been rumors about Andrew Whitworth retiring and this deal is a pretty interesting indication of which way the Rams expect that to go. |
| DB | Quandre Diggs | SEA | SEA | The corner turned safety will return to Seattle on what looks like a 3 year, $40 million deal. The safety was third on the team in tackles in 2021. |
| OL | Ryan Bates | BUF | BUF | Bates operates primarily as a depth lineman. He can play both guard and center and played both at times in 2021. They applied a "right of first refusal" restricted free agent tender to him which means they can match any deal he receives on the open market. |
| OG | Brandon Scherff | WAS | JAC | This is a huge get for the Jaguars as the guard was arguably the best overall lineman available on the free agent market. We'll update this when the contract is in but it's expected to be the highest in the league for a guard. |
| DL | Al Woods | SEA | SEA | The defensive tackle is more of a part time player, playing 50% of the snaps in 2021. He skews towards the run but usually manages a sack or so a year. The deal is for 2 years, $ million. |
| OL | Ted Karras | NE | CIN | The Bengals have found their center. With Alex Cappa and Ted Karras, it's clear they are serious about revamping the interior offensive line for Joe Burrow and company. Bringing in the two time Super Bowl champion is a smart move in their quest to get back to the big game. |
| DB | Tracy Walker | DET | DET | The strong safety has been huge vs. the run for Detroit - he has multiple season with over 100 tackles while in Detroit. The deal is reportedly 3 years, $25 million with $17 million guaranteed. |
| LB | Foyesade Oluokun | ATL | JAC | Not only did Foye Oluokun lead the Falcons in tackles in 2021, he led the entire NFL. The 6th round pick from Yale cashes in big on his performance with a 3 year, $45 million contract. $28 million is fully guaranteed. |
| DL | Folorunso Fatukasi | NYJ | JAC | The Jags have made a flurry of splashes in free agency, this time locking up the run stuffing defensive tackle. The deal is for 3 years, $30 million with $20 million guaranteed. |
| OL | Laken Tomlinson | SF | NYJ | Huge signing for the Jets. They made some nice moves in the draft with Mekhi Becton and Alijah Vera-Tucker as well as bringing in tackle George Fant. Tomlinson will reportedly sign for 3 years, $40 million with $27 million guaranteed. And he will switch from LG to RG since AVT plays left. |
| C | Ben Jones | TEN | TEN | The Titans will retain center Ben Jones on a 2 year, $14 million deal. |
| OT | Jamarco Jones | SEA | TEN | Injuries have hampered Jones in recent years, including 2021. The deal is 2 years, $5.75 million indicating he's likely to be a backup and the versatile lineman can play multiple positions along the line. |
| WR | Matthew Slater | NE | NE | The Patriots will bring back their all-world special team captain and coin toss expect on a one year deal at $2.62M guaranteed. |
| WR | Braxton Berrios | NYJ | NYJ | Berrios can not only contribute as a slot receiver but he was 1st Team All Pro in 2021 as a return man. The Jets like him so they bring him back at 2 years, $12 million, with $7 million guaranteed. |
| LS | Jake McQuaide | DAL | DAL | The long snapper has agreed to return to the Cowboys at the veteran minimum. |
| OG | Rodger Saffold | TEN | BUF | The former Pro Bowl guard will leave Tennessee to join Josh Allen and gang in Buffalo. |
| LB | Haason Reddick | CAR | PHI | You sign Haason Reddick for one thing - pass rushing. And for good reason. In back to back seasons he has 12.5 and 11 sacks. The deal is 3 years, $45 million, with $30 million guaranteed. |
| DL | B.J. Hill | CIN | CIN | The Bengals run a 4-3 so pressure from the interior lineman is important. And B.J. Hill offered just that, managing 5.5 sacks from a DT position. It's 3 years, $30 mil, $15 mil guaranteed. |
| DB | J.C. Jackson | NE | LAC | Jackson has 17 interceptions over the last two seasons which has rightfully earned him a reputation as a game changer. The former undrafted free agent cashes in big with a 5 year $82.5 million dollar deal. |
| WR | Christian Kirk | ARI | JAC | No matter how you slice it, this is a big opportunity for Kirk. Max value of $84 million. $37 million guaranteed. They can get out of it if he doesn't pan out but $37 million commits you to multiple years at the very least. |
| DB | Charvarius Ward | KC | SF | Ward is a rock solid full-time cornerback so the Chiefs will need to figure out how to fill that hole. The young Ambry Thomas played admirably but also go beaten on some high profile plays so he might far better with some time in the slot. The deal is reported at 3 years $40.5 million, $26.7 million guaranteed. |
| DB | Justin Reid | HOU | KC | Whelp, that likely means the Tyrann Mathieu era in KC is over. The deal is 3 years $31.5 million, $20 million guaranteed. It's a good deal if Mathieu was asking for too much, |
| DL | D.J. Jones | SF | DEN | Interior run stopping ability is one of the most underrated skillsets in the NFL. Per PFF, he was 7th in overall run tackles and his 13.1% run stop percentage was 1st among all DTs that played at least 8 games. His deal is 3 years $30M with $20M guranteed. |
| DL | Sebastian Joseph-Day | LA | LAC | His stats form last year don't seem all that impressive until you realize that was only in 7 games. He doesn't even need to pack up his stuff since he's staying in Los Angeles, just changing jerseys. 3 years, $24M, $15M guaranteed |
| WR | Zay Jones | LV | JAC | The Jaguars clearly think their window to compete is open right now as they are dropping some serious cash. 3 years, $24 mil for Zay Jones. |
| TE | Evan Engram | NYG | JAC | Drops and injuries have led Giants fans to dislike the athletic tight end so it was time for a change of scenery. He's not much of a blocker so his role is suspected to primarily be out of the slot. It's a one-year, $9 million deal so he's betting on himself. |
| TE | C.J. Uzomah | CIN | NYJ | CJ Uzomah was the fourth target on the Bengals so now he not only gets paid, but gets a shot to be more involved in the passing game. The deal is 3 years, $24 million. |
| WR | Cedrick Wilson | DAL | MIA | Cedrick Wilson performed admirably from the slot and he can also return punts. He'll mix in with Mike Gesicki for slot duties. He's in for 3 years, $22 million, $12.75M guaranteed. |
| WR | DJ Chark | JAC | DET | The big issue with DJ Chark is that he hasn't been able to stay healthy. This is an obvious bet on himself here with the 1 year, $10 million deal. |
| DB | Marcus Williams | NO | BAL | The Ravens grab the best free safety on the market here but they paid for him for sure. The deal is five years, $70 million. Easily one of the biggest deals in free agency. |
| OL | James Daniels | CHI | PIT | The Steelers offensive line has been the crown jewel of this team for years but recently it’s fallen into disrepair. This is a step back towards glory. The deal is we years, $26.5 million with $8.75 million guaranteed. |
| OL | Austin Corbett | LA | CAR | The Rams are going to have work to do on the offensive line, especially with the retirement of Andrew Whitworth. The deal is 3 years, $26.25 million with $19.6 million guaranteed". |
| DL | Harrison Phillips | BUF | MIN | The run stuffing defender known as “Horrible Harry” finds himself one of the first pieces of Ed Donatello’s 3-4 defense. The conversion is underway. He signs for 3 years, $19.5 mil with $13 mil guaranteed. |
| OG | Mark Glowinski | IND | NYG | The Giants have to try to win now. They have the running back and they need to find out if Daniel Jones is the guy. It’s 3 year deal for $18.3M with $11.4M guaranteed, |
| OL | Mason Cole | MIN | PIT | With James Daniels and Mason Cole, this is a new offensive line coming at you in 2022. It’s 3 years, $15.75 million. |
| DB | Xavier Woods | MIN | CAR | Xavier Woods signs for 3 years $15.75 million. He’s incredibly physical and capable of shouldering a heavy load, especially in the run game. |
| OL | Morgan Moses | NYJ | BAL | With Alejandro Villanueva, retiring the Ravens needed their right tackle. They find one for 3 years, $15 million. |
| DB | Jordan Whitehead | TB | NYJ | If Marcus Maye wasn’t officially gone, he is now. The Former Bucs |
| OG | Connor Williams | DAL | MIA | Williams is pout as a combination of cap issues for Dallas and too many penalties, he gets a fresh start in Miami for 2 years at $14M with about half that guaranteed. |
| DL | DaQuan Jones | CAR | BUF | They lose Harrison Phillips but find a less expensive replacement who can hopefully fill the void. The deal is 2 years $14 million but with $10.6 million guaranteed meaning he’s in for both years. |
| QB | Tyrod Taylor | HOU | NYG | There was reported interred of Mitchell Trubisky but he went to the Steelers. T-Mobile will be backup for the Giants and a live threat to Daniel Jones. It’s 2 years $11 mil with $8.5 mil guaranteed. |
| LB | Jordan Hicks | ARI | MIN | They continue building the 3-4 with a solid stuffing LB up the middle. 100+ tackles three years in a row. 2 years, $10 mil, $6.5 mil guaranteed. |
| DB | Keion Crossen | NYG | MIA | The special teams ace signs with the Dolphins for 3 years at just under $10 million. |
| QB | Teddy Bridgewater | DEN | MIA | The Dolphins have their backup and emergency plan. 1 year $6.5 million fully guaranteed. |
| RB | J.D. McKissic | WAS | BUF | Great fit for the Bills to compliment Singletary in the pass game. 2 years, $7 million. |
| LB | Von Miller | LA | BUF | There it is folks. The big one. Arguable the biggest free agent name, the two time Super Bowl champ Von Miller, lands in Buffalo. For the rest of his career most likely as it's a monster 6 year, $120 million dollar deal with $51.4 million guaranteed. |
| DL | Randy Gregory | DAL | DEN | There were rumors of Von Miller's return but Gregory is a nice get to fill that pass rush need. He comes over for 5 years, $70 million, $28 million guaranteed. |
| LB | Chandler Jones | ARI | LV | The sack machine has over 100 career sacks and he's got a lot of years left at 31. He got fewer years than Randy Gregory but, at 3 years, $52 million, with $34 million guaranteed, his deal has a higher AAV and more guaranteed. |
| DB | D.J. Reed | SEA | NYJ | The stud corner reported himself that Seattle wanted to keep him but their offer was "disrespectful". He signs with the Jets for 3 years, $33 million. |
| DB | Darious Williams | LA | JAC | Another of many major moves by Jacksonville this offseason. Williams ran hot and cold at times but, at the end of the day, he was a key piece of the Rams secondary and a full time corner in this league. The deal is for 3 years, $30 million, $18 million guaranteed. |
| WR | Russell Gage | ATL | TB | Antonio Brown is obviously not coming back and, even though he's been extended, Chris Godwin will be recovering from knee surgery and might miss the start of the season. Russell Gage is a reliable wideout who can play both flanker and slot so he should contribute right away. He gets 3 years, $30 million with $20 million guaranteed so he'll be there for two years at the very least. |
| DB | Marcus Maye | NYJ | NO | The Jets go from one Marcus to another here as they lose free safety Marcus Williams but pick up Marcus Maye for cheaper. The deal is 3 years, $22.5 million with $14.5 million guaranteed. |
| TE | Tyler Conklin | MIN | NYJ | If you were hoping he would be fantasy relevant, him landing in NY to be the blocking tight end next to CJ Uzomah is less than ideal. No tight end blocked on more pass plays last season than Tyler Conklin. He cashes in at 3 years, $21 million. |
| LB | Uchenna Nwosu | LAC | SEA | Pete Carroll famously sets up one defensive end to wreak havoc in the pass rush in what is called the "LEO" or "elephant" role. That's what Nwosu comes in to do and he's being paid 2 years $19 million with $10 million guaranteed to do it. |
| LB | Myles Jack | JAC | PIT | When healthy, Jack is a force with over 100 tackles in three of the last four seasons. The key term is "when healthy" as he's missed time in each of the last three seasons. He joins the Steelers for 2 years $16 million to play inside linebacker. |
| WR | JuJu Smith-Schuster | PIT | KC | Juju opted for the same route as DJ Chark - he bet on himself by signing a 1 year, $10.75M deal hoping to cash in next off-season when the cap is higher. Nice addition for Patrick Mahomes. |
| OT | Terron Armstead | NO | MIA | The Dolphins lands the best tackle in free agency for 5 years $75 million. Armstead was the the top graded lineman per Pro Footbal Focus in 2018 and is routinely graded out near the top of the league. |
| WR | Allen Robinson | CHI | LA | Robinson was viewed as the top WR that actually hit free agency but his 3 year, $46.5 mil contract with $30.75 mil guaranteed is actually less years, money, and guaranteed than what Christian Kirk back. The Rams traded Robert Woods to the Titans shortly after. |
| LB | Za'Darius Smith | GB | MIN | The Vikings are busy converting from a 4-3 to the 3-4 that Ed Donatell runs and they landed a big pass rusher to bring the head from the outside. The deal is 3 years $42 mil with $11.5 guaranteed. |
| DB | Donte Jackson | CAR | CAR | The Panthers bring back their starting corner back on a 3 year deal. It’s $35 million with $16.7 guaranteed. |
| WR | Marquez Valdes-Scantling | GB | KC | In a move that came as a surprise to some, the Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins. They replace him with MVS for 3 years $30 mil with $18 mil guaranteed meaning he’ll be with KC for at least the next two seasons. |
| QB | Jameis Winston | NO | NO | The Saints have their presumed starter now in the gunslinger Winston who last was a full time starter 2 seasons ago in Tampa Bay. It’s 2 years $28 mil with $21 mil guaranteed. |
| RB | Leonard Fournette | TB | TB | Playoff Lenny returns to Tampa Bay on a 3 year deal that makes him the highest paid back so far this off-season in all three of total cash, guarantees, and per year a average. He gets $21 mil, $14.5 mil guaranteed. |
| DB | Rasul Douglas | GB | FA | The corner had one of his most game changing seasons with five interceptions, two of which he took back to the house. He returns to GB for 3 years $21 mil but only $5.3 mil guaranteed so they can cut ties with him if need be. |
| QB | Marcus Mariota | LV | ATL | He hasn’t been a full time starter since 2018 with the Titans but now reunites with his former coach Arthur Smith in Atlanta. It’s 2 years, $18.75 mil, with $6.75 mil guaranteed. |
| DL | Austin Johnson | NYG | LAC | Brandon Staley runs a 3-4 base defense so the nose tackle is a good fit in LA. He signs for $14 million with $10.625 million guaranteed. |
| DL | Jacob Martin | HOU | NYJ | Robert Saleh continues his quest of converting the Jets from a 3-5 base to a 4-3 and Martin at defensive tackle should help with that. He gets 2 years, $13.5 mil with $6 mil guaranteed. |
| OL | Trent Brown | NE | NE | The largest player in the AFC East remains with New England. Injuries have plagued the big fella in recent years and his deal is 2 years $14 mil with only $4 mil guaranteed so the Pats have outs if they need it. |
| TE | Gerald Everett | SEA | LAC | Jared Cook is gone so the Chargers needed a new starting tight end - they found one in Everett. It’s 2 years, $12 mil, with $8 mil guaranteed. |
| DL | Justin Jones | LAC | CHI | Matt Eberflus needs defensive tackles for his 4-3 defense but the deal with Larry Ogunjobi fell through due to a failed physical. Jones comes to town on 2 years $12 mil with $6 mil guaranteed. |
| DL | Dorance Armstrong | DAL | DAL | Randy Gregory leaving for Denver leaves an open defensive end spot and Dorance Armstrong plans to compete for it coming off a career year, he gets 2 years, $12 million, with $6 million guaranteed. |
| DB | Casey Hayward | LV | ATL | The Falcons are clearly entering a bridge year so signing the soon to be 33 year old corner is a bit puzzling. It’s. 2 year deal]m $11 mil, with $6 mil guaranteed. |
WR | Davante Adams | GB | GB | Adams has been the best WR in the league and wants to be paid like it. They've applied the franchise tag but he will reportedly refuse to play on it. Expect the two sides to work out some sort of long term deal. |
WR | Chris Godwin | TB | TB | Chris Godwin has been exactly what you want out of your slot/flanker and pairs well with split end Mike Evans. The Bucs used the franchise tag to keep him in Tampa. |
WR | Mike Williams | LAC | LAC | Mike Williams was playing on the 5th year option of his rookie deal in 2021 and put together a good enough season to warrant the franchise tag. He won't hit proper free agency for the first time until next season when he's 28. |

DL | Sebastian Joseph-Day | LA | LAC | His stats form last year don't seem all that impressive until you realize that was only in 7 games. He doesn't even need to pack up his stuff since he's staying in Los Angeles, just changing jerseys. 3 years, $24M, $15M guaranteed |
WR | Zay Jones | LV | JAC | The Jaguars clearly think their window to compete is open right now as they are dropping some serious cash. 3 years, $24 mil for Zay Jones. |
TE | Evan Engram | NYG | JAC | Drops and injuries have led Giants fans to dislike the athletic tight end so it was time for a change of scenery. He's not much of a blocker so his role is suspected to primarily be out of the slot. It's a one-year, $9 million deal so he's betting on himself. |
TE | C.J. Uzomah | CIN | NYJ | CJ Uzomah was the fourth target on the Bengals so now he not only gets paid, but gets a shot to be more involved in the passing game. The deal is 3 years, $24 million. |
WR | Cedrick Wilson | DAL | MIA | Cedrick Wilson performed admirably from the slot and he can also return punts. He'll mix in with Mike Gesicki for slot duties. He's in for 3 years, $22 million, $12.75M guaranteed. |
WR | DJ Chark | JAC | DET | The big issue with DJ Chark is that he hasn't been able to stay healthy. This is an obvious bet on himself here with the 1 year, $10 million deal. |
DB | Marcus Williams | NO | BAL | The Ravens grab the best free safety on the market here but they paid for him for sure. The deal is five years, $70 million. Easily one of the biggest deals in free agency. |
OL | James Daniels | CHI | PIT | The Steelers offensive line has been the crown jewel of this team for years but recently it’s fallen into disrepair. This is a step back towards glory. The deal is we years, $26.5 million with $8.75 million guaranteed. |
OL | Austin Corbett | LA | CAR | The Rams are going to have work to do on the offensive line, especially with the retirement of Andrew Whitworth. The deal is 3 years, $26.25 million with $19.6 million guaranteed". |
DL | Harrison Phillips | BUF | MIN | The run stuffing defender known as “Horrible Harry” finds himself one of the first pieces of Ed Donatello’s 3-4 defense. The conversion is underway. He signs for 3 years, $19.5 mil with $13 mil guaranteed. |
OG | Mark Glowinski | IND | NYG | The Giants have to try to win now. They have the running back and they need to find out if Daniel Jones is the guy. It’s 3 year deal for $18.3M with $11.4M guaranteed, |
OL | Mason Cole | MIN | PIT | With James Daniels and Mason Cole, this is a new offensive line coming at you in 2022. It’s 3 years, $15.75 million. |
DB | Xavier Woods | MIN | CAR | Xavier Woods signs for 3 years $15.75 million. He’s incredibly physical and capable of shouldering a heavy load, especially in the run game. |
OL | Morgan Moses | NYJ | BAL | With Alejandro Villanueva, retiring the Ravens needed their right tackle. They find one for 3 years, $15 million. |
DB | Jordan Whitehead | TB | NYJ | If Marcus Maye wasn’t officially gone, he is now. The Former Bucs |
OG | Connor Williams | DAL | MIA | Williams is pout as a combination of cap issues for Dallas and too many penalties, he gets a fresh start in Miami for 2 years at $14M with about half that guaranteed. |
DL | DaQuan Jones | CAR | BUF | They lose Harrison Phillips but find a less expensive replacement who can hopefully fill the void. The deal is 2 years $14 million but with $10.6 million guaranteed meaning he’s in for both years. |
QB | Tyrod Taylor | HOU | NYG | There was reported interred of Mitchell Trubisky but he went to the Steelers. T-Mobile will be backup for the Giants and a live threat to Daniel Jones. It’s 2 years $11 mil with $8.5 mil guaranteed. |
LB | Jordan Hicks | ARI | MIN | They continue building the 3-4 with a solid stuffing LB up the middle. 100+ tackles three years in a row. 2 years, $10 mil, $6.5 mil guaranteed. |
DB | Keion Crossen | NYG | MIA | The special teams ace signs with the Dolphins for 3 years at just under $10 million. |
QB | Teddy Bridgewater | DEN | MIA | The Dolphins have their backup and emergency plan. 1 year $6.5 million fully guaranteed. |
RB | J.D. McKissic | WAS | BUF | Great fit for the Bills to compliment Singletary in the pass game. 2 years, $7 million. |
LB | Von Miller | LA | BUF | There it is folks. The big one. Arguable the biggest free agent name, the two time Super Bowl champ Von Miller, lands in Buffalo. For the rest of his career most likely as it's a monster 6 year, $120 million dollar deal with $51.4 million guaranteed. |
DL | Randy Gregory | DAL | DEN | There were rumors of Von Miller's return but Gregory is a nice get to fill that pass rush need. He comes over for 5 years, $70 million, $28 million guaranteed. |
LB | Chandler Jones | ARI | LV | The sack machine has over 100 career sacks and he's got a lot of years left at 31. He got fewer years than Randy Gregory but, at 3 years, $52 million, with $34 million guaranteed, his deal has a higher AAV and more guaranteed. |
DB | D.J. Reed | SEA | NYJ | The stud corner reported himself that Seattle wanted to keep him but their offer was "disrespectful". He signs with the Jets for 3 years, $33 million. |
DB | Darious Williams | LA | JAC | Another of many major moves by Jacksonville this offseason. Williams ran hot and cold at times but, at the end of the day, he was a key piece of the Rams secondary and a full time corner in this league. The deal is for 3 years, $30 million, $18 million guaranteed. |
WR | Russell Gage | ATL | TB | Antonio Brown is obviously not coming back and, even though he's been extended, Chris Godwin will be recovering from knee surgery and might miss the start of the season. Russell Gage is a reliable wideout who can play both flanker and slot so he should contribute right away. He gets 3 years, $30 million with $20 million guaranteed so he'll be there for two years at the very least. |
DB | Marcus Maye | NYJ | NO | The Jets go from one Marcus to another here as they lose free safety Marcus Williams but pick up Marcus Maye for cheaper. The deal is 3 years, $22.5 million with $14.5 million guaranteed. |
TE | Tyler Conklin | MIN | NYJ | If you were hoping he would be fantasy relevant, him landing in NY to be the blocking tight end next to CJ Uzomah is less than ideal. No tight end blocked on more pass plays last season than Tyler Conklin. He cashes in at 3 years, $21 million. |
LB | Uchenna Nwosu | LAC | SEA | Pete Carroll famously sets up one defensive end to wreak havoc in the pass rush in what is called the "LEO" or "elephant" role. That's what Nwosu comes in to do and he's being paid 2 years $19 million with $10 million guaranteed to do it. |
LB | Myles Jack | JAC | PIT | When healthy, Jack is a force with over 100 tackles in three of the last four seasons. The key term is "when healthy" as he's missed time in each of the last three seasons. He joins the Steelers for 2 years $16 million to play inside linebacker. |
WR | JuJu Smith-Schuster | PIT | KC | Juju opted for the same route as DJ Chark - he bet on himself by signing a 1 year, $10.75M deal hoping to cash in next off-season when the cap is higher. Nice addition for Patrick Mahomes. |
OT | Terron Armstead | NO | MIA | The Dolphins lands the best tackle in free agency for 5 years $75 million. Armstead was the the top graded lineman per Pro Footbal Focus in 2018 and is routinely graded out near the top of the league. |
WR | Allen Robinson | CHI | LA | Robinson was viewed as the top WR that actually hit free agency but his 3 year, $46.5 mil contract with $30.75 mil guaranteed is actually less years, money, and guaranteed than what Christian Kirk back. The Rams traded Robert Woods to the Titans shortly after. |
LB | Za'Darius Smith | GB | MIN | The Vikings are busy converting from a 4-3 to the 3-4 that Ed Donatell runs and they landed a big pass rusher to bring the head from the outside. The deal is 3 years $42 mil with $11.5 guaranteed. |
DB | Donte Jackson | CAR | CAR | The Panthers bring back their starting corner back on a 3 year deal. It’s $35 million with $16.7 guaranteed. |
WR | Marquez Valdes-Scantling | GB | KC | In a move that came as a surprise to some, the Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins. They replace him with MVS for 3 years $30 mil with $18 mil guaranteed meaning he’ll be with KC for at least the next two seasons. |
QB | Jameis Winston | NO | NO | The Saints have their presumed starter now in the gunslinger Winston who last was a full time starter 2 seasons ago in Tampa Bay. It’s 2 years $28 mil with $21 mil guaranteed. |
RB | Leonard Fournette | TB | TB | Playoff Lenny returns to Tampa Bay on a 3 year deal that makes him the highest paid back so far this off-season in all three of total cash, guarantees, and per year a average. He gets $21 mil, $14.5 mil guaranteed. |
DB | Rasul Douglas | GB | FA | The corner had one of his most game changing seasons with five interceptions, two of which he took back to the house. He returns to GB for 3 years $21 mil but only $5.3 mil guaranteed so they can cut ties with him if need be. |
QB | Marcus Mariota | LV | ATL | He hasn’t been a full time starter since 2018 with the Titans but now reunites with his former coach Arthur Smith in Atlanta. It’s 2 years, $18.75 mil, with $6.75 mil guaranteed. |
DL | Austin Johnson | NYG | LAC | Brandon Staley runs a 3-4 base defense so the nose tackle is a good fit in LA. He signs for $14 million with $10.625 million guaranteed. |
DL | Jacob Martin | HOU | NYJ | Robert Saleh continues his quest of converting the Jets from a 3-5 base to a 4-3 and Martin at defensive tackle should help with that. He gets 2 years, $13.5 mil with $6 mil guaranteed. |
OL | Trent Brown | NE | NE | The largest player in the AFC East remains with New England. Injuries have plagued the big fella in recent years and his deal is 2 years $14 mil with only $4 mil guaranteed so the Pats have outs if they need it. |
TE | Gerald Everett | SEA | LAC | Jared Cook is gone so the Chargers needed a new starting tight end - they found one in Everett. It’s 2 years, $12 mil, with $8 mil guaranteed. |
DL | Justin Jones | LAC | CHI | Matt Eberflus needs defensive tackles for his 4-3 defense but the deal with Larry Ogunjobi fell through due to a failed physical. Jones comes to town on 2 years $12 mil with $6 mil guaranteed. |
DL | Dorance Armstrong | DAL | DAL | Randy Gregory leaving for Denver leaves an open defensive end spot and Dorance Armstrong plans to compete for it coming off a career year, he gets 2 years, $12 million, with $6 million guaranteed. |
DB | Casey Hayward | LV | ATL | The Falcons are clearly entering a bridge year so signing the soon to be 33 year old corner is a bit puzzling. It’s. 2 year deal]m $11 mil, with $6 mil guaranteed. |

Seahawks exercised the fifth-year option on OT Charles Cross.
2 hours ago
Cross now remains tied to the organization through the 2026 season. PFF gave the towering 24-year-old tackle glaring marks in 2024, ranking him 10th of 140 qualified tackles, including 15th in pass protection and 16th in run blocking. The Seahawks extend the negotiating window on one of the key pieces of their offensive front.

Browns signed WR Diontae Johnson to a one-year contract.
2 hours ago
The former Steeler wasn’t able to carve out a significant role with the Panthers, Ravens, or Texans in 2024 after seemingly breaking out in Pittsburgh. The Browns apparently saw enough during his visit with the team Monday to sign him to a one-year contract, the details of which have yet to be released. Expect Johnson to start opposite Cedric Tillman on the perimeter while Jerry Jeudy works the slot.

ESPN’s Field Yates reports Browns placed the unrestricted free agent tender on WR Elijah Moore.
2 hours ago
Moore visited the Bills on Monday and then saw the Browns place the unrestricted free agent tender on him. Per Field Yates, this means that Moore will count against the compensatory free agent formula should he sign with another team. He’ll play on the tender if he returns to the Browns, which carries a value of $3.428 million for wide receivers in 2025.

Fox Sports’ Jordan Szhultz reports Packers signed LB/S Isaiah Simmons, formerly of the Giants.
2 hours ago
The former first-round hybrid linebacker and safety has yet to live up to his No. 8 overall selection in the 2020 draft, but brings the unique ability to fill multiple positions over the middle of the field to a Packers defense that prefers to play a more inside-out style. There is upside in his athletic profile and versatility - perhaps another change of scenery will serve to unlock some of that potential.

Steelers signed WR Robert Woods, formerly of the Texans, to a one-year, $2 million contract.
3 hours ago
The 33-year-old wide receiver has long since seen his days of 100-target seasons fall by the wayside, but he still adds a veteran presence to a relatively young wide receiver room in Pittsburgh. Woods played over 60% of the offensive snaps for the Texans just twice in 2024 after doing so 13 times in 2023, indicating a high likelihood he was brought in for his locker room presence and veteran savvy rather than as a consistent contributor to the offense. The low risk signing makes sense for both parties considering Woods’ age and the state of the Pittsburgh pass-catching corps.

KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson reports the Browns met with free agent WR Diontae Johnson.
3 hours ago
Johnson had a forgettable 2024, to put it mildly. The former Steelers receiver saw himself traded to the Panthers last offseason only to later be traded to the Ravens, where his lack of playing time eventually led to his release. He then found his way to the wide receiver-needy Texans, who rostered him for just over three weeks. He was then claimed off waivers by the Ravens but was not eligible to play during the postseason. Now a free agent, Johnson, 28, has not enjoyed the market many expected him to see this time last year. He’s a productive receiver who has amassed 424 catches for 4,738 yards and 28 touchdowns in his six-year career, but it goes without saying that he’s likely in brand rebuilding mode as far as this offseason is concerned. It’s hard to imagine any team giving him a lucrative contract after last year’s disastrous campaign. That said, Johnson could still still provide help to plenty of needy teams and could prove to be a valuable contributor at a cost-efficient price. This is the first visit we’ve heard of for Johnson, who may meet with other teams before signing.
