ESPN’s Adam Schefter was the first to report the deal, which includes $100 million in guaranteed money. The two-time All-Pro becomes the highest-paid corner in NFL history and will now be under contract through the 2030 season. The Rams traded a bevy picks to the Chiefs last week, including a 2026 first-rounder, to acquire McDuffie, who totaled 63 tackles, one interception, and seven pass breakups last season before a knee injury prematurely ended his season. The Rams hope McDuffie, who will turn 26 shortly after the start of next season, will prove to be the missing piece they need to make a deep postseason run in the limited time they have left with Matthew Stafford under center.

The good news about the restructure is that it will keep Conner in Arizona next year, giving him a real shot to head the backfield again depending on how his foot/ankle injury rehab is coming along. Because of how it was reported, it’s almost certainly actually a pay cut for Conner, who would likely have faced a tough market. Conner and fellow injury rehabber Trey Benson figure to again split carries in Arizona in 2026 if both are healthy.

It’s a sensible list of teams with major cap space and a need at wide receiver. Albert Breer also linked the 49ers to Pierce on Friday. The Colts are still negotiating with Pierce and did just trade Zaire Franklin to free up some cap space, but we’d be surprised if they were the high bidder in free agency based on how this has unfolded.

Mack briefly pondered retirement this offseason after 12 years at the professional level. The one-year contract is fully guaranteed and brings him back to the Chargers for a 13th season after playing for the franchise for the previous four years. Mack’s 113.0 career sacks currently are tied for 29th in NFL history, a mark he looks to improve upon on his new one-year deal.

Huntley has made 11 starts in five seasons with the Ravens, also starting five games for the Dolphins in 2024. He brings a level of familiarity with the system and allows the team added consistency should Lamar Jackson go down with injury due to his similar skill set, making the signing a no-brainer for both sides. A career 13-to-10 touchdown-to-interception ratio is less than sparkling, but his dual-threat abilities bring both upside and intrigue should he be forced into action.

The deal includes $10 million in guaranteed money and ties Pineiro to San Francisco through the 2029 season. Kicking on a one-year deal in 2025, Pineiro converted all 22 attempts from inside 50 yards, also converting 6-of-7 attempts of 50 yards or more. His 96.6% conversion rate on 29 field goal attempts led the league, bringing stability to a position that long plagued the 49ers.

It’s a pure player-for-player swap as the Packers further bolster the interior of their second level with Franklin, dealing the former fourth-round defensive tackle Colby Wooden in the deal. Franklin led the league in tackles in 2024 (173) and played the entirety of his eight-year NFL career in Indianapolis prior to the trade, giving the Packers a top tier linebacker to pair with Edgerrin Cooper with Quay Walker due to become a free agent Monday.

The deal includes a whopping $65 million in guaranteed money. Davis is now tied to the Eagles through the 2029 season after becoming the highest-paid nose tackle in NFL history with the extension. The former No. 13 overall pick in 2022 notched the second most solo tackles in 2025 amongst defensive linemen and also contributed five sacks.

McGovern has been a mainstay on the interior offensive line for the Bills for the previous three seasons, with the new contract tying him to the franchise through the 2029 season. Long hailed as one of the top pass blocking centers in the league, McGovern will continue to provide protection for 2024’s MVP in Josh Allen.

It isn’t quite the “Parsons-like trade package,” but it isn’t too far off. Years of being a good solider while playing for one of the league’s more embattled franchises landed Crosby with a perennial contender in the Ravens in exchange for two first round picks in the next two drafts. Crosby, 28, will now join newly minted head coach and defensive guru Jesse Minter in Baltimore, joining a defense that ranked 18th in points allowed and 24th in yards allowed. The Ravens will immediately benefit from adding one of the league’s top Iron Men to the league in Crosby, who has played in 15 or more games in six of his seven seasons in the league, while playing on 900-plus defensive snaps in five of those seasons. Crosby totaled 10 sacks and 28 TFLs for the Raiders last season while also forcing two fumbles and breaking up another six passes. The Cowboys, who reportedly offered a first and second-round pick for Crosby’s services narrowly missed out on landing the star pass-rusher, and will likely look to address the Micah Parsons-sized hole on their defense in free agency in the coming days.
