Justin Fields is headed to Kansas City after being traded to the Chiefs, where he will serve as the backup to superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The move gives Kansas City one of the most athletic and experienced No. 2 quarterbacks in the league.

Fields brings a dynamic skill set built around his mobility, arm strength, and ability to create plays outside the pocket. During his career, he has shown the ability to make explosive plays both through the air and on the ground, making him a unique option behind Mahomes.

March 15th, 2026:

A longtime staple of the Eagles’ passing attack, Goedert has built a reputation as a dependable target thanks to his strong hands, route running, and ability to generate yards after the catch.

In addition to his receiving ability, Goedert’s physical blocking and versatility allow him to contribute in multiple ways within the offense. Whether lined up inline or flexed out, he has consistently provided the Eagles with a steady presence at the tight end position.

March 12th, 2026:

QB Kyler Murray – Minnesota Vikings (1yr/$1.3M)

Kyler Murray is heading to Minnesota, signing with the Vikings after his release from the Arizona Cardinals. Because Arizona is still responsible for $36.8 million from his previous contract, Murray joins Minnesota on a veteran minimum deal, making the move a low-risk opportunity for the Vikings to add an experienced quarterback.

The former No. 1 overall pick brings a dynamic skill set built around his mobility, arm talent, and playmaking ability outside the pocket. During his time in Arizona, Murray developed into one of the league’s most electrifying quarterbacks, capable of creating explosive plays both through the air and on the ground.

Cincinnati bolstered the interior of its defensive line by signing Jonathan Allen, adding one of the league’s most experienced and disruptive defensive tackles. The veteran defender has been a cornerstone on the defensive front throughout his career thanks to his strength, technique, and ability to pressure quarterbacks from the interior.

Allen has consistently produced as both a run stopper and pass rusher, using his power and quick hands to collapse the pocket and disrupt opposing offenses. His presence should give the Bengals another physical presence in the trenches while helping strengthen the defensive line rotation.

March 11th, 2026:

QB Daniel Jones – Indianapolis Colts (2yr/$88M)

Daniel Jones will remain in Indianapolis after agreeing to a 2-year deal with the Colts. Jones had been playing on the transition tag, but both sides expressed interest in securing a new contract, ultimately reaching an agreement to keep the quarterback in place.

The 28-year-old played well during the 2025 season, helping guide the Colts to an 8–2 start before injuries derailed the year. Jones battled through a fractured tibia before later suffering a torn Achilles, and Indianapolis ultimately finished 8–9, narrowly missing the playoffs.

DE Trey Henrickson – Baltimore Ravens (4yr/$112M)

After backing out of a trade for Maxx Crosby, the Ravens turned to free agency to address their pass rush, signing Trey Hendrickson. The veteran edge rusher arrives in Baltimore as one of the league’s most consistent sack producers in recent years.

Hendrickson has built a reputation for his relentless motor and ability to generate pressure off the edge, using a quick first step and strong pass-rushing instincts to disrupt opposing quarterbacks. His presence should immediately strengthen the Ravens’ defensive front.

DE Bradley Chubb – Buffalo Bills (3yr/$43.5M)

Buffalo continues to invest in its defense by adding edge rusher Bradley Chubb, bringing another experienced pass rusher to the front seven. The former first-round pick has long been known for his ability to pressure quarterbacks and set the edge against the run.

When healthy, Chubb has been a disruptive presence on the defensive line, combining power and explosiveness to collapse the pocket. His physical style of play and pass-rushing ability should give the Bills another valuable option off the edge.

TE Chig Ojonkwo – Washington Commanders (3yr/$30M)

Since entering the league, Doubs has shown steady growth as a receiver, carving out a role as a dependable option on the outside and in key situations. His ability to move the chains and contribute in the red zone should provide the Patriots with another valuable target in the passing attack.

CB Riq Woolen – Philadelphia Eagles (1yr/$15M)

Philadelphia makes their first move in free agency by signing cornerback Riq Woolen, fresh off a Super Bowl victory with the Seattle Seahawks. The former Pro Bowl selection now joins another NFC contender as the Eagles continue to strengthen an already talented defense.

Woolen brings elite length, speed, and coverage ability to Philadelphia’s secondary. In 2025, he allowed just 2.7 yards per target in man coverage, the fewest among cornerbacks with at least 20 targets, according to Next Gen Stats—highlighting his effectiveness in shutting down receivers.

He now joins a loaded defensive backfield that already features All-Pros Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, giving the Eagles another high-level cover corner as they look to remain among the NFC’s top contenders.

LB Kaden Elliss – New Orleans Saints (3yr/$33M)

Kaden Elliss is returning to New Orleans, bringing a familiar presence back to the Saints’ defense. After beginning his career with the Saints, the veteran linebacker now returns following a productive stint with the division rival Atlanta Falcons.

His high motor and physical play style have helped him develop into a reliable and productive linebacker.

March 9th, 2026:

EDGE Jaelan Phillips – Carolina Panthers (4yr/$120M)

The Carolina Panthers added a major piece to their defensive front by signing edge rusher Jaelan Phillips, bringing one of the league’s more disruptive young pass rushers to the roster. A former first-round pick, Phillips has developed into a dynamic edge defender known for his explosiveness, athleticism, and ability to pressure quarterbacks.

Phillips gives Carolina an immediate boost on the defensive line, adding a versatile pass rusher who can impact games off the edge. His presence should help strengthen the Panthers’ pass rush and provide a key building block for the defense moving forward.

WR Mike Evans – San Francisco 49ers (3yr/$60.4M)

The San Francisco 49ers added a proven veteran playmaker to their offense by bringing in Mike Evans, one of the most consistent wide receivers of the past decade. Known for his size, physicality, and ability to win contested catches, Evans has long been a dominant outside receiver and a reliable red-zone threat.

Over the course of his career, Evans has been one of the league’s most productive pass catchers, recording over 11,000 receiving yards and more than 90 touchdowns, while posting 1,000+ receiving yards in each of his first 10 NFL seasons. His combination of length, catch radius, and deep-ball ability has made him a matchup problem for defenses throughout his career.

RB Kenneth Walker – Kansas City Chiefs (3yr/$43.05M)

Kenneth Walker III, fresh off a Super Bowl MVP, joins Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Known for his explosive running style, vision, and ability to turn small openings into big gains, Walker has established himself as one of the league’s most exciting young running backs.

Walker brings big-play ability and versatility to the Chiefs’ offense, giving Kansas City another dangerous weapon out of the backfield. His speed, burst, and knack for breaking tackles should fit well in the Chiefs’ high-powered attack, adding another dimension to an offense that is already among the most explosive in the NFL.

QB Malik Willis – Miami Dolphins (3yr/$67.5M)

The Miami Dolphins added an intriguing option to their quarterback room with Malik Willis, who revitalized his career over the past two seasons as the backup to Jordan Love in Green Bay. After beginning his NFL career in Tennessee, Willis found new momentum with the Packers, showing flashes of his dual-threat ability when called upon.

During the 2025 season, Willis appeared in four games, completing 30 of 35 passes for 422 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions, posting an impressive 145.5 passer rating. Some view him similar to QB Tua Tagovailoa, who just cut by the Dolphins.

C Tyler Linderbaum – Las Vegas Raiders (3yr/$81M)

Tyler Linderbaum heads to Las Vegas to anchor the Raiders’ offensive line, giving the team a proven leader in the middle of the unit. The three-time Pro Bowl center arrives with the expectation of stabilizing the line as the Raiders look to build around likely No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza and second-year running back Ashton Jeanty.

His experience and leadership should be a valuable addition in head coach Klint Kubiak’s system, helping organize protections up front while creating running lanes and easing the pressure on a young quarterback leading the offense.

RB Travis Etienne – New Orleans Saints (4yr/$52M)

Travis Etienne is coming off a strong 2025 season, and the Saints are hoping that production carries over to New Orleans. The dynamic running back continued to showcase his versatility last year, proving to be a reliable contributor both on the ground and in the passing game.

Last season, Etienne rushed for 1,084 yards and eight touchdowns, while adding 51 receptions for 476 yards and three receiving touchdowns. His combination of speed, vision, and pass-catching ability gives the Saints a versatile offensive weapon who can impact the game in multiple ways out of the backfield.

WR Alec Pierce – Indianapolis Colts (4yr/$114M)

Alec Pierce returns to Indianapolis after a breakout 2025 season, solidifying his role as one of the Colts’ top receiving threats. The former second-round pick emerged as a major downfield weapon, showcasing his ability to stretch defenses and generate explosive plays in the passing game.

His emergence as a big-play target helped elevate the Colts’ passing attack, and keeping him in Indianapolis maintains continuity with one of the offense’s most dangerous vertical threats.

WR Wan’Dale Robinson – Tennessee Titans (4yr/$70M)

Wan’Dale Robinson is heading to Tennessee, where he reunites with offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, who previously served as his head coach with the New York Giants. The familiarity between the two could help Robinson quickly carve out a role in the Titans’ offense.

Robinson has built his reputation as a quick, shifty slot receiver who excels at creating separation and generating yards after the catch. His agility and short-area burst make him an effective weapon on underneath routes, screens, and quick-hitting concepts.

CB Jaylen Watson – Los Angeles Rams (3yr/$51M)

The Los Angeles Rams claim another pass defender from the Chiefs, continuing their effort to reshape the secondary. After previously trading to acquire standout cornerback Trent McDuffie, Los Angeles has now added Jaylen Watson, further strengthening the defensive backfield with another Kansas City defensive back.

The 27-year-old cornerback provides a well-rounded presence on defense, capable of making plays both in coverage and against the run. While he may not carry the same star power as McDuffie, Watson has proven to be a dependable contributor in the secondary.

TE Isaiah Likely – New York Giants (3yr/$40M)

Isaiah Likely is headed to New York, following head coach John Harbaugh to the Giants. The move reunites the athletic tight end with the coach he previously played under in Baltimore, giving the Giants a familiar piece for Harbaugh’s offense.

Likely has developed into a versatile pass-catching tight end, known for his route running, body control, and ability to create mismatches against linebackers and safeties. Throughout his career, he has shown the ability to line up both inline and in the slot, making him a flexible option in the passing game.

C Connor McGovern – Buffalo Bills (4yr/$52M)

The Bills will keep Connor McGovern in Buffalo after re-signing the veteran offensive lineman, maintaining continuity along the interior of their offensive line and continuing to bolster protection for quarterback Josh Allen. McGovern has been a steady presence up front, providing reliability and versatility in both pass protection and the run game.

Known for his physical style of play and consistency, McGovern plays an important role in helping keep Allen upright while also creating space in the running game. By bringing him back, Buffalo retains an experienced blocker who understands the system and remains a key piece of the unit tasked with protecting one of the league’s most dynamic quarterbacks.

WR Rashid Shaheed – Seattle Seahawks (3yr/$51M)

The Seahawks are keeping one of their explosive playmakers, re-signing wide receiver Rashid Shaheed after his key role in their championship season. Seattle originally added Shaheed during the 2025 offseason, and his speed and big-play ability quickly made him a valuable part of the offense on the way to a Super Bowl title.

Known for his game-breaking speed, Shaheed stretches defenses as a deep threat while also providing value as a return specialist. His ability to flip field position and create explosive plays gave Seattle another dangerous weapon throughout their championship run.
