  • WAS Outside Linebacker #98

    $68 million of this is guaranteed per Adam Schefter. Oweh did indeed hit the $25 million mark that Daniel Popper believed could lead to the Chargers letting him walk. The 27-year-old EDGE had 7.5 sacks in 12 games with the Chargers last year and will now try to revitalize Washington’s lagging pass rush. He’s been more of a complementary rusher so far — this is a contract that says the Commanders want him to be the main man.
  • CHI Quarterback #11
    Keenum, now 38, is basically a player-coach at this point. Tyson Bagent took backup snaps for the Bears last year and — barring an unlikely trade — Keenum will likely be behind Bagent again in 2026.
  • JAC Wide Receiver #7
    It will presumably take a decent offer to pull Thomas away from the Jaguars, but the fact that the team is listening to offers is notable. As Hughes reports, both the Jets and Giants attempted to trade for Thomas at last year’s deadline, but Jacksonville was unwilling to move the former No. 23 overall pick at that time. After breaking out for 87-1,282-10 as a rookie in 2024, Thomas struggled in 2025, finishing the year with 48-707-2 in 14 games. The emergence of Parker Washington and arrival of Jakobi Meyers has created more target competition for Thomas. With teams always desperate to bolster their receiver room, the Jaguars could find multiple suitors willing to part with picks in exchange for his services.
  • WAS Quarterback #8
    He’ll remain the backup behind Jayden Daniels in Washington. Mariota runs enough to remain a stable backup and superflex QB2 when he is on the field. Things will change a bit in Washington in 2026 without Kliff Kingsbury, but Mariota is in a decent spot to find work behind Daniels and it’s a worthwhile investment for the Commanders.
  • TEN Cornerback #1
    $42 million is fully guaranteed as the Titans continue to spend heavily on their defense in Day 1 of free agency. They’ve added Cordale Flott and Taylor to the cornerback room. Taylor’s ideal fit is in the slot, but he has worked outside at times for the Saints and his role in Tennessee is probably dependent on what happens with former free-agent bust L’Jarius Sneed. Flott and Taylor will try to repair Tennessee’s pass defense under new head coach Robert Saleh.
  • SEA Cornerback #29
    A 2022 UDFA of the Eagles, Jobe arrived in Seattle in 2024, taking on a bigger role on defense. That culminated in 15 2025 starts, not including the team’s Super Bowl run. Jobe is not a particularly effective corner, but he is now an experienced one. Ideally a No. 3, Jobe can stay on the field for every snap when needed.
  • DEN Running Back #27
    Dobbins was on pace for a career-year in Denver before a foot injury sidelined him for the final seven games of the regular season. In 10 games, Dobbins rushed 153 times for 772 yards and four touchdowns while adding another 11-37-0 through the air. When healthy, the 27-year-old running back was unquestioned RB1, earning 28 percent of the team’s backfield opportunities compared to RJ Harvey’s 13 percent, while also handling 57 percent of the team’s carries. His return undoubtedly puts a cap on Harvey’s rushing upside entering next season, but Harvey should retain some value as a pass-catcher and remains a high-end handcuff while playing behind a player with a lengthy injury history.
  • LAC Tight End #88
    NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero said this makes Kolar “the NFL’s highest-paid blocking tight end.” We’re not sure that’s something that can be officially verified, but it does pass the smell test. As many former Ravens have done, Kolar now goes from playing under John Harbaugh in Baltimore to Jim Harbaugh in LA. With the Chargers also signing Alec Ingold today, it’s clear Mike McDaniel is picking the guys he needs to run his offense. Kolar only caught 10 passes for 142 yards and two touchdowns last year. He isn’t a fantasy factor, but he could take the field enough to stifle a breakout from Oronde Gadsden.
  • CIN Safety #6
    It’s the first step towards fixing Cincinnati’s defense in free agency. Cook will pair with Jordan Battle to be the safety pairing for the Bengals in 2026. Cook is coming off a career year in 2025, with an 83.2 PFF coverage grade that was well above what he’d done in his first three seasons. He’ll look to continue rolling as he enters his age-27 season under new defensive coordinator Al Golden.
  • TEN Cornerback #28
    The deal includes "$32 million fully guaranteed.” This is standard starting cornerback money for a cap-flushed Titans squad that needed help at the back end of its defense. A 2022 third-rounder who just finished up his rookie contract, Flott had trouble staying healthy in New York City, though he missed “only” three games each of the past three seasons. He has three career picks, earning decent enough coverage marks from Pro Football Focus. Still only 24 years old, it’s possible Flott discovers another level to his game under new defensive-minded Titans head coach Robert Saleh.
