Ward was diagnosed with an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder on January 5th. On February 20th, Wolfe reported that Ward was focused on building up his lower body and was expected to resume throwing in March. Sounds like he is on track, which is great to hear. He is expected to be ready for offseason team workouts this spring. The Titans’ front office signed WR Wan’Dale Robinson and TE Daniel Bellinger in free agency this week, providing Ward with more receiving weapons in his second NFL season. Ward is reportedly staying in Nashville this offseason to work with new coaches and players ahead of the 2026 season.

Earlier today, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reported that “the Eagles will not trade A.J. Brown at this time.” Garafolo said he “does not sense real momentum right now,” but he believes general manager Howie Roseman will engage in potential trade talks over the weekend. The Eagles face $20.5 million in dead money if they allow Goedert’s contract to expire at the new void deadline on Monday. Signing him to a new deal would allow them to spread some of that $20.5 million around to other years. Brown carries a cap hit greater than $23 million this year. Releasing him pre-June 1 would result in more than $72 million in dead money and a loss of $49 million in cap room. Per Over The Cap, the Eagles build team-friendly trade windows into their contracts. If the Eagles trade Brown before June 1st, the dead money drops to $48.939 million and the cap hit drops to $25.5 million. The two players’ futures with the team “are interconnected.”

Joseph-Day, 30, pressured quarterbacks 20 times last season, the second-highest figure of his career. He also notched one sack, 32 solo tackles and 10 TFLs. His signing gives the Steelers another capable, versatile defensive lineman who can immediately make an impact.

This is a great deal for the Panthers. Walker, a former seventh-round pick with the Packers, made just over $6 million on his rookie contract. This is a decent pay bump for him. Among NFL tackles with at least 490 left tackle snaps, Walker’s 69.3 PFF pass-blocking grade ranks 21st. The Panthers lost starter LT Ikem Ekwonu to a patellar tendon rupture during their Wild Card Round loss to the Rams last year. While Ekwonu is undoubtedly rehabbing the injury rigorously, he return date is still being determined. Panthers backup OT Yosh Nijman also retired earlier this week. Signing Walker gives them a reliable, if non-elite, starter in 2026.

Brown, a 2021 third-round pick, spent the first four seasons of his career with the Commanders. He posted career-best numbers in 2024, catching 30-of-38 targets for 308 yards and one touchdown. The latter figure is the only non-career-best mark. He spent 2025 with the Jaguars, catching just 20-of-37 targets for 227 yards and one touchdown. He will likely be tasked with keeping safeties honest by running routes downfield, though his prior performances render him nothing more than a low-end bench stash.

Sneed’s contract will go down as one of the worst in recent memory. The 29-year-old corner joined the Titans in 2024 on a four-year, $76.4 million deal that included $55 million in guaranteed money, and appeared in just 12 games during his two seasons with the team. Knee injuries plagued the majority of Sneed’s time with the Titans, but it was a quad injury that landed him on season-ending IR last October. Sneed was one of the top corners in the league during his time with the Chiefs, but his recent string of injuries begs the question of how much is left in the tank at this stage of his career. If he wants to continue playing, he will likely need to do so on a one-year prove-it deal to show he can stay healthy for a full season while still contributing at a high level.

NFL insider Jordan Schlutz reports Tolbert is “close with Malik Willis,” who was signed by the Dolphins earlier this week. A former third-round pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, Tolbert never emerged as a top option in the Cowboys’ passing game. Last season, the 27-year-old had his least productive season since his rookie year, catching 18 passes for 203 yards and one touchdown despite appearing on 464 offensive snaps. With Jaylen Waddle being the only starter of note in Miami’s receiver room, it’s possible Tolbert carves out a more meaningful role this season, but we wouldn’t bet on there being much fantasy value here.

Crosby said the world will “get the best version of 98" in 2026 after the Ravens failed him on his physical just days after agreeing to a trade with the Raiders. The star pass-rusher recently declared himself “a Raider” on social media, suggesting he’s hoping to remain with the team this upcoming season, and it’s been reported that the asking price for Crosby hasn’t changed despite the Ravens reneging on the deal. Crosby suffered a knee injury last season that he played through, but he still underwent offseason surgery to repair a torn meniscus. One of the true Iron Men of the league, Crosby is no doubt motivated to prove the Ravens made the wrong move in sending him back to Vegas. He’ll have a sizable chip on his shoulder and a lot to prove if he is ready for training camp.

Weeks after opting not to tender an offer to McLaughlin, the 25-year-old back will return to the Broncos on a one-year deal with a chance to battle for a roster spot. McLaughlin will enter camp as the RB3 behind J.K. Dobbins and R.J. Harvey, but his familiarity with Sean Payton’s offense should give him the inside edge on winning a camp battle. McLaughlin made the Broncos as a rookie UDFA in 2023 and has totaled 226-1,093-3 on the ground while adding another 59-263-4 through the air. He’s a solid depth piece but is unlikely to carry any immediate fantasy value in 2026.

This comes a few days after it was reported by NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe that the Falcons would have “an open competition” at QB between Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix. Of course, with Penix recovering from a torn ACL, it’s still unknown whether or not he will be able to compete for the job by the time camp rolls around. Tagovaila figures to have the inside edge on winning the QB1 role based on where things stand right now, but that could change if Penix is healthy by the time camp starts. Regardless of who wins the QB1 job, we would expect Tagovailoa and Penix to both make multiple starts in 2026.
