Raymond was mostly a role player and a special teams standout during his five years in Detroit. Last season Raymond had 24 receptions for 289 yards and a touchdown while drawing three starts for the run-heavy Lions. In Chicago, Raymond — entering his age-32 season — will likely function as a role player in Ben Johnson’s run-centric offense. He could see starter’s snaps if the Bears struggle with receiver injuries in 2026.

He believes that something will happen in “the near future” with White. The Seahawks depth chart at running back is barren with Kenneth Walker off to the Seahawks and Zach Charbonnet injured and unlikely to start the 2026 season on the roster. White could handle the workload early while Charbonnet recovers, if the Seahawks choose him from the pool of available running backs.

The Cowboys and Eagles are among them, with Harris saying that Dallas’ free agency board at linebacker was “wiped out” by yesterday’s events. It’s possible the Steelers could get a high Day 3 pick for the stalwart linebacker.

Terms weren’t available, but it almost certainly will lower his 2026 cap figure after he came into the offseason as a release candidate. The Bills clearly value Knox’s blocking and relationship with Josh Allen. He remains a decent bet to pop off for the odd TE1 game here or there, but Dalton Kincaid should be the most-targeted tight end for the Bills again in 2026.

Booker received an original round tender, meaning the team would be entitled to a pick in the round he was originally drafted in if he were to join another team. That would result in a fifth-round pick being returned to the team if Booker signed elsewhere. The fourth-year tackle had his best season as a pro in 2025, starting 13 of the 17 games he appeared in while tallying 44 tackles, five pass breakups, and one forced fumble. If he does not sell elsewhere, Booker will remain under contract with the Raiders for next season.

With JuJu Smith-Schuster and Hollywood Brown still free agents, Thornton currently figures as their No. 3 option behind Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy. When you factor in how often Rice has been sidelined due to injury or off-field incidents — another of which is possible this offseason — Thornton could step into real fantasy value at some point this year if the Chiefs don’t draft or sign anyone ahead of him. It’s a situation worth monitoring. Taylor’s words do suggest that the Chiefs aren’t actively looking to block Thornton.

Dulcich led all tight ends in average yards after the catch in 2026 despite not seeing a full-time role. With Darren Waller in free agency and the Dolphins’ salary cap in shambles, it’s quite possible the Dolphins don’t add further to the tight end position. If they don’t Dulcich can be embraced as a TE2 sleeper with TE1 upside.

Robinson’s free agency has been slow to this point in the legal tampering cycle, but he figures to be involved in a few places. We wouldn’t be surprised if he wanted a bigger opportunity than he figures to get behind Christian McCaffrey. He didn’t crack 10 carries in a single game with the 49ers after coming over in a trade before the season.

It’s worth noting that nowhere in this reaction to Day 1 did Dugar even mention “incumbent” back George Holani, who feels like a placeholder at the top of the depth chart while Zach Charbonnet recovers from a January ACL tear. The Seahawks will (our speculation) likely find a veteran back in free agency to head up a committee while Charbonnet recovers.

Kupp’s 2026 cap hit is $17.4 million, fourth-highest on the team behind Sam Darnold, Leonard Williams and Uchenna Nwosu. The Seahawks can’t clear much of it via a release, but they could trade him and save roughly $9.4 million if they found a taker. That sounds like a lot to ask. With a full season to implement Shaheed into the offense, we may just see Kupp become WR5 background noise for fantasy purposes.
