Cofield was nearly traded to the Saints during the draft after a disappointing 2009 season on the heels of microfracture knee surgery. He insists he’s now back to full health, and the Giants have taken him off the trading block. Cofield will return as a starter in 2010.

Sadiq will potentially be the top tight end off the board in this year’s draft; he is a candidate to go at any point in the first round. The athletic 21-year-old would fit in as a key pass-catcher for a Browns team that could use help anywhere on offense, but Harold Fannin Jr. is the current incumbent at the position. A dual-TE offense with Sadiq and Fannin is possible and the Browns are at least doing their due diligence on the matter. Cleveland holds picks No. 6 and No. 24 in the draft.

Anderson has been a star pass rusher since being drafted No. 3 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. He totaled 23 sacks over the past two seasons and was a First-Team All-Pro in 2025. With the fifth-year option, Anderson is now set to make $21.512 million in 2027. The Texans will certainly want to extend the 24-year-old as a cornerstone of the defense, but they get him under contract for an additional year for now. Anderson will be headed to reset the pass-rushing market with a prospective extension.

Stroud, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, had his fifth-year option picked up by the Texans. He will get $25.904 million in 2027 and is now extension-eligible. The 24-year-old got off to a fast start as a rookie, but stumbled the past two seasons. Last seen on a football field throwing four interceptions in the Divisional Round, Stroud still needs to sustain success beyond putting up fine numbers in the regular season. The Texans don’t have to commit to him long-term just yet, but they make the decision to give Stroud close to $26 million to start in 2027.

Per Rapoport, the issue caused him some discomfort late in Miami’s run to the National Championship game, though it never cost him any time. He is not considered a candidate for offseason surgery and performed the normal battery of tests and drills at Miami’s Pro Day. Still, the fact that surgery is even being talked about has likely given some teams pause. In turn, Mauigoa will undergo imaging for a disc issue during his recheck. Mauigoa could be a top-10 pick if all goes well.

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the deal includes another $1 million in incentives. The move comes less than an hour after Falcons right tackle Kaleb McGary announced his retirement. Taylor was cut by the Chiefs for cap reasons this offseason but is still a capable starter, which is more than enough for a Falcons team now in search of McGary’s replacement. The move also puts less pressure on the Falcons, who are without their first-round pick this year, to address tackle during the draft.

The former No. 29 overall pick tallied 4.5 sacks as a part-time player in 2023. He then upped that total to 7.5 in his second season while also playing more snaps. Bresee followed up the breakout campaign with just 2.5 sacks on 30 pressures last year. He also missed two games with a knee injury at the end of the season. Picking up his fifth-year option means the Saints are counting on a return to form for Bresee in the upcoming season.

The former No. 31 overall pick played in Atlanta for six seasons. He missed the 2025 season after suffering an undisclosed leg injury during training camp. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said last month that McGary should be “good to go” for training camp, so it’s unclear if his abrupt retirement is related to the knee issue. McGary made 92 starts for the Falcons over his six seasons and was consistently one of the league’s best run-blocking right tackles.

Harbaugh won’t be satisfied until every player he coached over his 18 years in Baltimore is on the Giants’ roster. A former fourth-round pick of the Ravens, Faalele was drafted as a tackle but eventually switched to right guard, where he served as the team’s starter for the past two seasons. Faalele didn’t receive much interest in free agency and will likely be competing for a starting spot during the summer.

Concepcion already has top-30 visits with the Dolphins and Raiders on the books. While he isn’t in play for the Browns with their No. 6 overall pick, Cleveland also holds the 24th-overall pick, which they got from the Jags last year. That would be a reasonable spot to take Concepcion. The former Aggie went for 919 yards and nine scores in 2025. He also added a rushing touchdown and two punt return scores to the books in his final season of college ball. Concepcion’s versatility and elite playmaking ability would immediately earn him a spot in Cleveland’s starting lineup if they chose to go in that direction.

“You couldn’t ask for a better start for the quarterbacks,” Monken said in reference to the QBs’ performance during offseason workouts on Monday. “I was fired up.” For now the Cleveland quarterbacks room includes Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, and Deshaun Watson, 30, who’s coming off two torn Achilles tendons and is slated to make $34.9 million in 2026. Monken said he was encouraged by the quarterbacks’ grasp of the team’s new offensive playbook. There’s a long way to go before Monken names a Week 1 starter, but The Athletic’s Zac Jackson said recently that he feels “stronger than ever” that Sanders, who threw seven touchdowns and ten picks over eight games in 2025, is the favorite to land the starting gig in Monken’s offense.
