Lamar Jackson returned to Baltimore's OTAs after missing time, as the NFL offseason roundup highlights a slew of roster moves, injuries, and coaching updates across multiple teams.

Denver announced the addition of 13 college free agents across multiple positions (Br Brent Austin, Luke Basso, Ahmari Harvey, Kolbe Katsis, Dane Key, Joseph Manjack, Dasan McCullough, Tyler Miller, Gavin Ortega, Parker Robertson, Cameron Ross, William Wright, Taurean York) and waived Marques Cox and Garrett Nelson. The moves bring the Broncos to 91 players, with an international punter exemption for Jeremy Crawshaw.

Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly signed three players from the 2026 NFL Draft class, though the article does not provide names or positions.

The San Francisco 49ers announced the signings of six of their eight 2026 draft picks to four-year deals and added seven undrafted rookie free agents, including De’Zhaun Stribling, Kaelon Black, Carver Willis, Ephesians Prysock, Jaden Dugger, Enrique Cruz Jr., Khalil Dinkins, Bryson Eason, Wesley Grimes, Mikail Kamara, Will Pauling, Jalen Stroman, and James Thompson Jr.

The Kansas City Chiefs are initiating negotiations with undrafted free agents after the 2026 NFL Draft, aiming to fill roughly 17 open roster spots as they sign multiple UDFAs who typically obtain three-year contracts totaling about $3.1 million across 2026–28; official announcements usually come ahead of rookie minicamp next weekend, with several players signed or invited to try out.

The 2026 NFL free-agent market still has several high-profile veterans unsigned who could become major bargains for teams willing to gamble on short-term deals, including Stefon Diggs, Tyreek Hill, Keenan Allen, Calais Campbell, Taylor Decker, Kevin Zeitler, Rasul Douglas, Joey Bosa, Kirk Cousins, and Shaq Thompson. While some marquee names signed earlier in the tampering window, these players could reshape rosters late in the cycle as teams balance cap needs, age, and injury risk, often pursuing one-year contracts with the potential for high impact if they stay healthy.

A comprehensive, PFF-based review of the 2026 NFL free-agent period graded team-by-team on major signings, trades, and contracts across all 32 franchises. The piece evaluates value and risk with a deal-grade framework, highlighting notable moves such as Trey Hendrickson to the Ravens, Alec Pierce’s large extension with the Colts, Malik Willis to the Dolphins, Kyler Murray to the Vikings, and Geno Smith returning to the Jets, among many others, while noting potential overpays and strong depth acquisitions. A full rundown with every signing is linked for readers seeking the detailed breakdown.

Week 1 of NFL free agency featured a flurry of moves that reveal each team’s early priorities: Arizona bolsters its offensive line and running game to shore up an unsettled QB situation; Atlanta starts a quarterback competition with new additions; Baltimore reshapes its defense while Lamar Jackson’s contract remains unsettled; Buffalo makes high-impact moves with a DJ Moore trade and Bradley Chubb signing; Carolina signs front-seven and O-line help as other teams balance age, cap and draft plans. Overall, the week signals a busy, strategic offseason ahead rather than one that’s built on splashy, uniform spending.

Two unofficial days into the 2026 NFL free agency period, analysts grade every team and highlight the movers. The Rams and Jets sit at the top thanks to strong defensive signings and strategic trades, while the Chargers underwhelm. Raiders and Titans lead the spending with multiple notable acquisitions, and several teams shuffled rosters at quarterback, running back and along the trenches. With draft season approaching, these early grades will continue to evolve.

Day 2 of NFL free agency builds on a busy Day 1: Steelers land Michael Pittman in a trade and sign him to a three-year, $59 million deal; Packers snap a slow start with CB Benjamin St-Juste; Giants sign Greg Newsome; Panthers commit to Jaelan Phillips with a four-year, $120 million contract; Raiders and Titans led Day 1 spending, Patriots add Alijah Vera-Tucker, and Bills restructured with Tyler Bass; several top free agents like Trey Hendrickson and Kyler Murray remain unsigned.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' 2026 free-agent tracker lists signings (CB Asante Samuel Jr on a 1-year, $4M deal; LB Cole Holcomb on a 2-year, $5M deal; CB Jamel Dean on a 3-year, $36.75M; plus RB Rico Dowdle) and a trade for WR Michael Pittman Jr. from the Colts, along with departures including CB James Pierre to the Vikings (2 years, $8.5M); RB Kenneth Gainwell to the Buccaneers (2 years, $14M); and LG Isaac Seumalo to the Cardinals (3 years, $31.5M).

The Tennessee Titans are actively reshaping their roster in the NFL free-agent period, signing CB Alontae Taylor to a 3-year, $60 million deal and CB Cor'Dale Flott to a 3-year, $45 million deal, adding C Austin Schlottman on a 1-year pact, and bringing in WR Wan'Dale Robinson (4 years) and TE Daniel Bellinger (3 years) while naming Mitchell Trubisky as a backup quarterback; with roughly $92 million in cap space and needs at EDGE, CB, and WR, the Titans are likely to continue adding pieces in free agency ahead of the draft.

The Atlanta Falcons’ 2026 free-agency period is underway, with the team extending CB Natrone Brooks, tendering exclusive rights to Elijah Garcia, and editors tracking multiple reported signings (Cameron Thomas, Jahan Dotson, Nick Folk, Jake Bailey, Austin Hooper, Olamide Zaccheaus) while aggregating updates from Schefter, Pelissero, and Rapoport.

The Chicago Bears signed 14 players to Reserve/Future contracts, including Maurice Alexander, Brittain Brown, Stephen Carlson, Luke Elkin, Dallis Flowers, Jonathan Garvin, Dominique Hampton, Kyle Hergel, Nikola Kalinic, Dontae Manning, Jeremiah Martin, Gervarrius Owens, JP Richardson, and Nephi Sewell.

The 2026 international signing period opens with the Yankees juggling a small $5.44M bonus pool and an unsettled international scouting leadership after the firing of longtime director Danny Rowland, a move that contributed to prospect Wandy Asigen reneging and signing with the Mets. Yet New York disclosed its first IFA signings via Baseball America, including Germayhoni Beltre ($100,000) and Abrahan Pichardo, with a second update adding Sebastian Pinto, and others like Kenneth Melendez, Poly Ojeda, Cesar Lopez, and Sebastian Rivas also in the class; the year is expected to be quieter than recent splashy classes but the team will continue adding talent to its farm system.
