On the busiest transaction day of the NFL year, here are a few moves that maybe didn’t make the headlines:
Atlanta Falcons
- Signed: TE Charlie Woerner
Baltimore Ravens
- Re-signed: Malik Harrison
Buffalo Bills
- Re-signed: CB Cam Lewis
Jacksonville Jaguars
- Re-signed: OL Blake Hance
Kansas City Chiefs
- Re-signed: LS James Winchester
Minnesota Vikings
- Re-signed: G Blake Brandel, T David Quessenberry
New York Giants
- Re-signed: LB Carter Coughlin, WR/KR Gunner Olszewski
Philadelphia Eagles
- Signed: LB Zack Baun
Woerner is probably one of the bigger names on this list. After serving as a reliable run-blocking tight end with the 49ers for the duration of his rookie contract, Woerner earns a new three-year deal worth up to $12MM to head to Atlanta, according to ESPN’s Michael Rothstein.
Brandel may be the next biggest deal on this list. After making five starts in 39 game appearances with the Vikings during his rookie deal, Brandel earned a new three-year, $9.5MM contract to remain in Minnesota. Quessenberry joins him as a depth lineman sticking around.
Lewis also gets to stick around on a multi-year deal, signing a two-year, $4MM deal to remain in Buffalo. A valuable special teamer, Lewis has done a good job of getting himself worked into the rotation on defense a good amount over the course of his rookie deal.
Olszewski earns another year in New York after solving a big issue on punt returns for the Giants last year. Baun heads to Philadelphia as a strong backup after starting 14 games for the Saints during his first four years in the league.
