LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin Re-Elected As NFLPA President
While he’s yet to find a home in free agency, veteran linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin received some good news tonight as the NFL Players Association announced his re-election as NFLPA president. 
This will be Reeves-Maybin’s second term in the role after taking over in 2024. NFLPA presidents serve two-year terms and are elected by the board of player representatives from around the league. A nine-year veteran, Reeves-Maybin has spent the majority of his career as a depth linebacker and special teamer, though he did start 11 games for the Lions in 2021. He earned Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors in 2023 for his play on special teams.
Reeves-Maybin’s election two years ago made him the first black NFLPA president since Dominique Foxworth served from 2012-14. His re-election makes him the first black NFLPA president to serve multiple terms since Troy Vincent did so from 2004-08. Foxworth was succeeded in 2014 by Eric Winston, who filled the role for six years before turning it over to J.C. Tretter.
Retiring from play after four years as NFLPA president, Tretter continued to work with the union as chief strategy officer and was considered a leading candidate to step in as interim executive director amid the recent controversy with former executive director Lloyd Howell, but he instead chose to resign from his position. Reeves-Maybin has also been praised for his leadership during a rocky period in the union’s history as the NFLPA has dealt with financial impropriety and a collusion coverup.
Joining Reeves-Maybin in re-election were NFLPA executive committee members Oren Burks, Cameron Heyward, Ted Karras, Case Keenum, Brandon McManus, and Thomas Morstead. The group also saw four new members elected to serve on the executive committee. Tanoh Kpassagnon, Jonathan Greenard, Harrison Phillips, and Zaire Franklin will be filling the seats left vacant by outgoing executive committee members Calais Campbell, Austin Ekeler, Ryan Kelly, and Thomas Hennessy. Kpassagnon was named treasurer.
2026 NFL Draft Visits: Browns, Cooper, Proctor
Though free agency is dominating the news feed this week, the 2026 NFL Draft is fast-approaching and teams around the league have been welcoming draft prospects for top 30 visits. The Browns got busy with these early into March, hosting Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson on March 4, per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. Per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Cleveland hosted Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson and Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate the next day.
The Browns’ passing attack struggled in 2025, ranking 31st in the NFL. Cleveland didn’t have a 1,000-yard receiver for the first time since 2021. Despite playing every game this year, WR1 Jerry Jeudy‘s receiving line totals (50 receptions-602 yards-2 touchdowns) were nearly all half what they were in 2024 (90-1,229-4). The team’s leading receiver in 2025 was third-round rookie tight end Harold Fannin (72-731-6).
Seeing this, it makes sense the Browns are looking to add elite talent to the receiving corps. Daniel Jeremiah at NFL.com ranks Tate as the sixth-best prospect in the class and the best wide receiver, slotting Tyson in at 21st overall and WR4. Both pass-catchers are explosive playmakers with prototypical size and length. They own similar skillsets when it comes to their control of changing speed and direction, but Tyson slides down the board a bit as some health issues in college have led to durability questions.
Simpson is the bridge between projected No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza and the rest of the QB crop projected to go in the third or fourth round of the draft. Simpson is currently hovering near the back of the first round in most projection but could easily jump up if a quarterback-needy team gets antsy. After only playing one season as a starter in college, some scouts feel Simpson would benefit from sitting and developing a year or two before starting. The Browns currently are slated to watch Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders battle for the QB1 job. The team could consider drafting Simpson to sit behind them both for a year before competing for the job himself.
Here are a few other draft visits from around the league:
- According to Luca Evans of The Denver post, the Broncos hosted Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. this past Friday. Jeremiah slots Cooper in at 18th overall and WR3. The AFC West Champs return all their top receivers from last year but may be looking for more consistent production in an upgrade at the WR3 role. Alongside many transfer additions, Cooper’s championship season with the Hoosiers was the culmination of four years of work from the bottom. He led the No. 1 team in the country in receptions (69) and receiving yards (937) and finished second on the team in receiving touchdowns (13).
- Lastly, the Texans hosted Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor on March 6, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2. The Texans return three starters on the offensive line from last year, and signed Braden Smith and Evan Brown to potentially fill the empty two spots. Still, the Texans have struggled to find consistent lineups on the interior line and could benefit by adding a lineman in the draft to compete at both guard and tackle, allowing Smith to do the same. Proctor slots in as Jeremiah’s 23rd-best overall prospect and the sixth-best offensive lineman.
Alabama QB Ty Simpson Projected To Steelers?
We’ve gotten through just the first week of free agency, and already a number of teams with question marks at quarterback have found a solution. A thin draft class at the position necessitated some proactive movement by a couple of teams in free agency to fill the role behind center, clearing things up a bit as we start to look forward to the 2026 NFL Draft. 
It seems a foregone conclusion at this point that the Raiders will be selecting Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 overall pick next month. Past that, it’s unclear how many other passers, if any, will hear their names called in the first round. Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson is widely seen as the QB2 behind Mendoza and likely the only other college arm worth taking Day 1. These factors usually depend on necessity, so how needy are today’s NFL teams for a rookie quarterback?
The Dolphins, Falcons, and Vikings are three teams who opted to go the free agency route to address the position. Miami released Tua Tagovailoa after six years with the team and opted to sign free agent Malik Willis off a two-year stint as a backup in Green Bay. Atlanta quickly picked up the Dolphins’ scraps, signing Tagovailoa to the veteran minimum to compete with their other lefty quarterback in an open competition. Minnesota chose a similar route, bringing in Kyler Murray after his release from Arizona.
Obviously, there’s a chance that none of the three situations work out. Willis has only started six games in his career, Tagovailoa just turned in the worst season of his career, and Murray has missed over half the season twice in the last three years due to injury. And while signing these free agent options could stand every chance to turn things around, as well, it serves another positive purpose. Signing these quarterbacks allows these three teams to kick the can down the road to next year’s draft class or maybe even the class after that, in hopes of a more QB-rich group.
Looking at the current QB landscape around the NFL, it seems there are perhaps four teams for whom it would make sense to draft a quarterback this year — not counting the Raiders. These are teams that currently roster (or will likely roster) a veteran quarterback who can start while a drafted rookie is developed until they are ready to step in. These teams would be the Cardinals, Browns, Jets, and Steelers. Technically, the Rams could fit in here, as well, but as long as Matthew Stafford is playing at an MVP level and keeping the team in contention, Los Angeles isn’t likely to use a top pick on a passer.
Even between those four teams, the Cardinals will see veteran Jacoby Brissett return alongside newly signed free agent Gardner Minshew, the Jets traded for Geno Smith and return Justin Fields, and the Browns could see Deshaun Watson dueling with Shedeur Sanders in 2026. These situations don’t necessarily have the potential for ceilings as high as what the Dolphins, Falcons, and Vikings could see, but those QB duos could potentially serve as bridges to buy time for later draft classes all the same.
That leaves us with the Steelers, who are currently set to return only Mason Rudolph and Will Howard at quarterback. There are some expectations that 42-year-old veteran Aaron Rodgers could come back to play another season with his former Packers head coach Mike McCarthy now in charge in Pittsburgh, but Rodgers has been taking his time in making a decision.
If he does come back, this could set up the perfect situation for Simpson. One of Simpson’s biggest knocks is that he has only played one season of college football as a starter. Allowing Simpson to sit and learn under Rodgers could end up being the perfect recipe to building the next star passer to wear black and yellow. It seems we’re not alone in that thought, either. Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk claimed yesterday to have sources who believe the Steelers “will take him if he’s on the board when Pittsburgh makes the 21st overall pick.”
NFL Free Agency Rumors: Giants, Aubrey, Browns, Robinson
One of the first free agent priorities for the Giants this past week was re-signing right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor, ensuring that the offensive line would be returning at least four out of five starters from the 2025 season. With Eluemunor under contract, New York only needs to fill its right guard spot now, left vacant as Greg Van Roten hits the free agent market.
The team did re-sign former seventh overall pick Evan Neal, who has failed to live up to his draft status in four years with team, but they’re eyes were clearly set on bigger fish to fill the role. After analyzing the options available on the free agent market, though, the Giants may return to the familiar. In their view, the crop of guards available could certainly be serviceable starters, but they aren’t worth the price they’re going for at the moment.
One such option is former Browns starting guard Wyatt Teller. A three-time Pro Bowler who twice earned second-team All-Pro honors, Teller certainly has displayed a high level of play during his time in Cleveland. While New York would be interested in Teller filling their hole at right guard, his $10MM per year price tag has made them balk at the prospect of signing him. ESPN’s Jordan Raanan has gone so far as to say that the Giants are “no longer willing to pay a mid-tier guard,” ruling them out of signing options like Teller, Joel Bitonio, or Dylan Parham. Connor Hughes of SportsNet New York believes that, because of this, the team could revisit re-signing Van Roten off the open market.
Lastly in New York, veteran kicker Graham Gano remains on the team’s roster at this time, but Dan Duggan of The Athletic, does not believe that will be the case for long. Duggan asserts that his continued presence could be related to the Injury Protection Benefit in the players’ Collective Bargaining Agreement. Regardless, he does not believe Gano will be on the roster next year.
Here are a few other rumors concerning free agency from around the NFL:
- Since entering the NFL three years ago, Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey has left no doubt that he is one of the premier placekickers in the NFL. In three years of play, Aubrey has three Pro Bowl selections, one first-team All-Pro honor, and two second-team All-Pro honors. Recognizing his greatness, the Cowboys have already offered to make him the highest-paid kicker in the NFL, raising the current highest annual average salary of $6.5MM with a $7.5MM offer, but no deal has gotten done, as Aubrey’s agent is asking for $10MM per year. Per Joseph Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News Aubrey was hoping that Dallas allowing him to test the market as a restricted free agent would show that other teams would match the value he’s seeking, but the second-round tender Dallas placed on him might prevent that from occurring.
- We had known that the Browns would be saying goodbye to the abovementioned Teller and veteran tight end David Njoku, and we had even speculated that a post-June 1 designation could assist the team in both transactions. Well, this week, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported the final post-June 1 designations, and as expected, both Teller and Njoku were on that list. Cleveland will get some cap relief as a result of applying the designation to each departure.
- Former Panthers defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson was released from Carolina the day before the start of the new league year, and he immediately signed the next day with the Buccaneers. According to Greg Auman of FOX Sports, Robinson explained that, when the Panthers granted him permission to seek a trade, Tampa Bay was one of two teams with which he communicated — the other being San Francisco. When no trade developed and he became a free agent with his release from the team, his prior experience talking to the Buccaneers laid a clear path forward.
Ravens Still Hoping For Lamar Jackson Extension
The Ravens made it clear their goal was to extend quarterback Lamar Jackson before the start of the new league year, and when that didn’t happen, they were forced to restructure his contract in order to avoid a massive $74.5MM cap hit. General manager Eric DeCosta informed the media this week that, even though the team ran out of time to get an extension done, “they are still hopeful to reach an agreement,” per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. 
This was always going to be the battle in Baltimore after they reached their first extension agreement with Jackson on a five-year, $260MM deal in 2023. While still substantial, Jackson’s cap hits in the first three years of the new deal were more manageable at $22.15MM in 2023, $32.4MM in 2024, and $43.5MM last year. The cap hits were then scheduled to jump to $74.5MM in the final two years of the deal, forcing the Ravens front office to either come back to the table for a potential extension or allow a single player to represent nearly a quarter of their cap space.
The first time the two parties underwent extension discussions, things got fairly dicey. The two-time MVP represented himself, as he still does to this day, and after Baltimore placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on him, in an effort to let the open market determine his value with an intention to match, Jackson requested a trade, intimating that the team was not interested in meeting the value he had placed on himself. For most of two months, it seemed a resolution was out of reach and the situation was irreconcilable, until an extension was announced on the first day of the 2023 NFL Draft, showing that the Ravens would be making Jackson the highest-paid player in NFL history with the highest signing bonus ($72.5MM) in NFL history at that time.
The biggest sticking point that prevented an agreement from being reached for so long was Jackson’s desire for a fully guaranteed contract. Previously seen done reasonably by the Vikings in 2018 for Kirk Cousins on a three-year, $84MM deal, the Browns seemingly ruined the party for everyone in 2022, when they did the same for Deshaun Watson on a record-setting five-year, $230MM contract. Knowing now that NFL owners were found by an arbitrator to have colluded to reduce the locked in compensation on player contracts and avoid fully guaranteed deals, there’s belief that this played a hand in the rocky negotiations between Jackson and Baltimore.
It’s unclear if Jackson will be pursuing another fully guaranteed deal as negotiations continue, but there was a sense that the Bills laid out the groundwork for the Ravens to follow when they extended their own MVP quarterback, Josh Allen, in the last offseason. Allen’s deal reflected a lot of what the Ravens ended up doing with Jackson’s first extension, in terms of backloading the bulk of the cap burden in later years to encourage renegotiation. The difference was that Buffalo timed the extension when Allen still had multiple years remaining on his previous deal. Knowing that their MVP was making less per year than less-accomplished passers, the deal simply brought Allen up to top of the market in annual average value and kicked the can down the road for them to do the same thing again in a couple years to keep up with the inflating market.
When Jackson’s restructure was originally reported, we covered most of the details in regard to dollar amounts getting affected. Yesterday, though, KPRC’s Aaron Wilson disclosed some new details of the reworked agreement. Per Wilson, the restructure added another voidable year in 2030 as well as a no-trade clause, including an agreement not to use the franchise tag on Jackson following the 2027 NFL league year. One expects the Ravens have no plans of getting to that point as their intentions to secure an extended agreement persist with the rest of the offseason in front of them.
Giants To Sign WR Darnell Mooney
7:58pm: Fowler reports the Eagles were also involved in Mooney’s market. Philadelphia already has a pair of established starting wideouts in A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, although Brown’s Eagles future remains in doubt. It will be interesting to see which remaining free agent wideouts find themselves as the subject of a pursuit from Philadelphia.
4:48pm: The Giants continue to add free agents for new head coach John Harbaugh. The newest addition will provide another weapon for second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart as ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that wide receiver Darnell Mooney will be signing with New York. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Mooney plans to join the Giants on a one-year deal worth up to $10MM. 
New York has been busy retooling the roster under the leadership of Harbaugh. On offense, the team took care of business re-signing pending free agents like starting right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor and depth pieces like offensive guard Evan Neal and wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins. Some bigger pieces have fallen through the cracks as wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, tight end Daniel Bellinger, and backup center Austin Schlottmann have all departed in free agency for Tennessee, but the Giants have done a good job of restocking positions with signees like wide receiver Calvin Austin and tight end Isaiah Likely.
Mooney becomes the newest addition to a retooled offense for Dart that now features (when healthy) Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy, and Devin Singletary at running back, Pat Ricard at fullback, Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, Calvin Austin, and Mooney at wide receiver, and Theo Johnson and Likely at tight end. Dart will have no shortage of new toys to play with in his sophomore campaign under new leadership.
Mooney will head to New York after a two-year stint with the Falcons. Atlanta signed Mooney coming off his rookie contract with the Bears on a three-year, $39MM deal. The signing initially appeared to be a huge success as Mooney finished second to Drake London in all receiving categories with 64 catches for 992 yards and five touchdowns on an offense that finished fifth in the NFL in passing yards. Year 2 told a different story for Mooney as he only recorded half the receptions total of the prior year for only 443 yards and one touchdown while catching balls from Michael Penix Jr. instead of Kirk Cousins for most of the year.
After the disappointing campaign, the Falcons opted to release Mooney in a cost-cutting move that would open up $7.42MM of cap space. In New York, Mooney will likely compete with Slayton and Austin for WR2 honors behind Nabers. All three players had similar outputs last year, but Mooney has shown a higher ceiling in his career and could be the favorite to see more snaps on the field. It will be interesting to see just how much of that $10MM maximum value is incentive-based, considering Mooney’s boom-or-bust history. Regardless, it may be hard to base success on statistics this year as, with so many weapons, the number of mouths to feed may limit individual production.
Texans Land G Evan Brown
After getting released by the Cardinals two days ago, veteran offensive guard Evan Brown has rebounded quickly. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Brown has landed with the Texans on a one-year, $3.5MM deal. 
In Houston, Brown will continue what has become an impressive career for the undrafted journeyman. After falling out of the 2018 NFL Draft, the SMU product signed with the Giants. He didn’t see the field all year as a rookie stuck sitting on the practice squad, but Brown would make up for it by seeing game time with four NFL teams over the next two years. After stashing him for his first year of his career, New York only brought him up for one game, giving him his NFL debut in Week 10 of the 2019 season. The Dolphins made the move to sign him off the Giants’ taxi squad four weeks later, and Brown appeared in the final three games of the season for his new team.
After getting released by Miami in the offseason, Brown rebounded quickly, signing with the Browns within a week of getting cut. Extremely limited usage led Cleveland to waive him to move him to its practice squad, where he remained for several weeks until the Lions signed him off the taxi squad to play in the final two games of the 2020 season for them. In Detroit the next year, Brown was named the backup center behind starter Frank Ragnow, and when Ragnow suffered a season-ending toe injury, Brown found himself in a starting role for the first time in his career, logging 12 starts in 16 games played. In his second season in Detroit, an injury to right guard Halapoulivaati Vaitai allowed Brown another starting opportunity. He started 12 more games that year at right guard.
Those two seasons of filling in as an injury replacement established Brown as a starting-caliber lineman. When he signed in 2023 as a free agent with the Seahawks, Brown won the starting center job and started 16 games for Seattle. Continuing to build on his journeyman status, Brown signed with Arizona in 2024 and won the starting left guard job. After starting all 17 games of a season for the first time in his career, Brown was re-signed to stay in Arizona on a two-year, $11.5MM deal. Following a down 2025 campaign in which he missed six games due to injury, though, Brown was cut by the Cardinals and back on the free agent market.
The Texans are now keeping Brown’s journeyman persona alive as they look for more consistency on the interior offensive line. The Texans had four consistent starters on the offensive line last year and were set to return all of them before trading Tytus Howard to Cleveland. In 2025, though, Houston failed to find a consistent starter at the left guard spot, forcing them to shuffle through multiple lineups throughout the season. Brown could compete to solidify that left guard role on the line as the team signed Braden Smith to, presumably, replace Howard.
Chiefs Re-Sign G Mike Caliendo
After opting not to tender him as a restricted free agent, the Chiefs reached an agreement today to re-sign offensive guard Mike Caliendo. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Caliendo’s agent relayed this afternoon that, despite holding “numerous offers elsewhere,” Caliendo wanted to return to Kansas City, and he will be doing so on a new one-year deal. 
Caliendo signed in 2022 with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent out of Western Michigan, where he spent six years, four as a full-time starter. Taking over the left guard job for the Broncos during his redshirt freshman season, he started every game for the team at that position for the next three years, including the COVID-shortened 2020 season that granted him a sixth year of eligibility. A first-team All-Mac and Academic All-American athlete, Caliendo turned down chances at both the NFL and medical school to return with his sixth year of eligibility and demonstrated some versatility with a position shift to center in his final season in Kalamazoo.
Caliendo won a ring in his rookie year as a member of the practice squad, failing to see the field in his first season of NFL play. He signed a reserve/futures deal to remain in Kansas City, though, and in Year 2, he made the 53-man roster and appeared in 12 games, mostly on special teams, including the four-game playoff run to his second Super Bowl ring. In 2024, he held a similar role until Week 14, when he made three spot starts at left guard as regular guard Joe Thuney kicked out to cover the blindside tackle spot for a benched Wanya Morris. When Thuney got hurt before the playoffs, Caliendo started the team’s three playoff games at left guard, including their Super Bowl loss to the Eagles. Caliendo got four more spot starts at right guard this year, covering for an injured Trey Smith.
Thanks to Caliendo’s desire to remain a Chief, even after a down year for the franchise, Kansas City returns a reliable, versatile backup on the offensive interior line, one they often utilize on special teams and heavy formations, as well. After releasing right tackle Jawaan Taylor last week, the Chiefs will likely see some change along their offensive front. Locking in a strong depth piece like Caliendo should provide the team with a bit of solace as they look to fill the hole left by Taylor’s departure.
Bears Confirm Maxx Crosby Pursuit; Cowboys’ Door Not Closed
As the countdown to free agency progressed last week, the trade rumors concerning Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby reached a fever pitch with the Ravens, Cowboys, and Bears being identified as Crosby’s top suitors. Obviously, there’s no need to recap everything that’s gone down since then (unless you’ve been living under a rock), but the failed trade to the Ravens has left Crosby’s future in a sort of limbo as Las Vegas attempts to determine if it still has a way to move him without giving up too much of the value it thought it had received last Friday night. 
There were several teams rumored to be involved in trade talks for Crosby, but the Raiders were pretty tight-lipped about any specifics. As we got into February, the league’s conference champions in Seattle and New England were noted as potential teams interested in the veteran edge defender. Entering March, the Bears and Cowboys were added to the list of potentially interested teams, but by Friday, Dallas and Baltimore were the only ones confirmed to be involved, while the Bears were “believed to be in the mix.”
Confirmation was delivered yesterday, when Bears general manager Ryan Poles told reporters (via ESPN’s Courtney Cronin), “We were involved. We checked into it. We looked to see if it made sense, had some dialogue. I’ll leave it at that.”
After their first full year with defensive end Montez Sweat, in which he recorded his second-lowest career sack total (5.5), Chicago made the move to pair him with Dayo Odeyingbo, signing Odeyingbo to a big deal in free agency. While the move benefitted Sweat, who turned in a 10.0-sack 2025 campaign, Odeyingbo followed Sweat’s lead from his first year and gave the Bears his lowest single-season sack total since his rookie year (1.0), playing only eight games before tearing his Achilles tendon.
The timetable for Odeyingbo’s return is still not clear, but even if he is back in time for the regular season, it’s understandable that the Bears might have wanted to kick the tires on Crosby. While it’s hard to tell just how far those conversations went, what seems clear now is that they don’t still seem to be happening. The market has certainly cooled over the past 48 hours or so, and there hasn’t been any reported efforts to recontinue trade negotiations.
Initially, after Crosby became available again, the Cowboys looked unlikely to pursue the recovering pass rusher. Dallas had been the clear second-place finisher in the race, but something seemingly changed between last Friday and Wednesday. This was thought to be due, in part, to the fact that, in their evaluation of Crosby’s knee injury, the Ravens solicited the opinion of the Cowboys’ team physician, Dr. Daniel Cooper. After he advised on the scans, the Ravens backed out of the trade.
Because Cooper would then return to the Cowboys, it seemed likely that Cooper’s opinion would remain unchanged, and the team would opt out of the running for Crosby. Additionally, since missing out on him the first time around, Dallas had traded for Packers edge Rashan Gary and added a few free agents. But the Cowboys’ decision doesn’t lie ultimately with Cooper and doesn’t appear to be impacted by Gary’s arrival in Dallas.
No. Instead, it’s Cowboys owner/team president/general manager Jerry Jones who makes those kinds of calls, and when asked if everything was over and done in regard to Crosby, Jones, ever the entertainer, couldn’t help but to leave them wanting more. Per Jon Machota of The Athletic, he told the media, “We’re pretty far down the road relative to what our plans are (for Crosby), so while I don’t anticipate (pursuing him), I don’t want to rule anything out.”
So, Jones left the door cracked, keeping it open to another pursuit of Crosby. Things are expected to be quiet for a while, though. So soon after the failed trade, the Raiders don’t want to try to trade Crosby right this instant since his price tag has diminished a bit. They’ll instead work to get him closer to health, so that his improved medical outlook post-draft — when teams will have a better idea of what their rosters are going to look like — might bump his price back up a bit. On the other side of the table, the lack of interest in Crosby at this point is likely due to either genuine concern about Dr. Cooper and the Ravens’ conclusions or a hope that the longer they wait, the more desperate the Raiders will be to get Crosby moved even if at a lower cost than they anticipated.
Minor NFL Transactions: 3/13/26
Here are Friday’s minor NFL moves as free agency continues into the weekend:
Arizona Cardinals
- Re-signed: WR Simi Fehoko
Baltimore Ravens
- Re-signed: G Corey Bullock
Carolina Panthers
- Re-signed: LB Claudin Cherelus
Chicago Bears
- Re-signed: CB Jaylon Jones
Cleveland Browns
- Re-signed: CB D’Angelo Ross
Dallas Cowboys
- Re-signed: TE Princeton Fant
Denver Broncos
- Signed RFA tender: CB Ja’Quan McMillian
Houston Texans
- Waived: DT Kurt Hinish
Miami Dolphins
- Signed ERFA tender: CB Ethan Bonner
- Signed: P Seth Vernon
Minnesota Vikings
- Waived: C Zeke Correll
New York Giants
- Signed: S Elijah Campbell
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Re-signed: TE Ko Kieft
After making the call not to tender him as a restricted free agent, the Panthers were able to come to an agreement to re-sign Cherelus. The undrafted linebacker has started six of 27 game appearances in his last two years with Carolina, logging 60 total tackles.
Unlike Cherelus, McMillian did get tendered in Denver. With 16 starts in 51 games appearances over four years with the Broncos, McMillian’s tender is worth $5.77MM for the 2026 season, per Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette.
The Texans signed Hinish to a one-year deal last year, but the Notre Dame product spent the season on the reserve/physically unable to perform list. Instead of holding on to him for the upcoming season, they’ve decided to cut him from the roster.
