Dixon hasn’t had much interest since getting released with an injury settlement in September. He’s working his way back from a fractured knee, so it’s not clear if he’s fully healthy. The Texans have been getting by with a committee of Carlos Hyde and Duke Johnson. Dixon has the talent to help a team but may not resurface until the offseason.

Bellinger reunites with former Giants head coach Brian Daboll, who was hired as the Titans’ OC earlier this offseason. Bellinger totaled a career-high 286 receiving yards on just 19 receptions with the Giants last season and started 10 of the 16 games he appeared in. Bellinger is a solid blocker but is unlikely to add much to the Titans’ passing game. We wouldn’t expect this to turn into a fantasy-relevant any time soon, but he’s a good depth piece for an offense that’s in the middle of a rebuild.

Bryant appears to be replacing Kevin Byard — though we’ll see what the Bears wind up doing here, it could be that they plan to invest heavily at safety with Jaquan Brisker also a free agent. Bryant played a career-high 1,163 snaps on defense for the Seahawks last year and had a 67.2 PFF coverage grade. He’s not an amazing tackler, but Bryant should provide plenty of range for the Bears.

Per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the deal is worth up to $12 million and includes $6 million fully guaranteed. Jack Westover, a former tight end, handled fullback duties for New England last year. Pro Football Focus graded Gilliam as their No. 1 back in pass protection last year. He also earned a top-10 mark in run-blocking. Though the fullback is a dying breed, Gilliam will be a solid upgrade for the Pats this year.

The deal includes $9.3 million guaranteed. 27-year-old Robertson is not quite an every-down player, but he is capable of playing both inside and out. At 5-foot-9, 183 pounds, he is ideally a slot man. That is where he spent most of 2024 before bouncing around more last year. Robertson is durable, appearing in all 17 games each of the past four years. He’s a solid player to have fill out your cornerback rotation.

Anzalone has spent the last five seasons with the Lions, amassing 490 tackles, 33 pass breakups, and three interceptions over that span while also forcing two fumbles. The veteran linebacker is a versatile chess piece who lined up over 700 times in the box last season while playing another 174 snaps in the slot, per PFF. The addition of Anzalone gives head coach Todd Bowles a much-needed addition to a defense that allowed 25 or more points in seven of their 17 games last season, and finished near the bottom of the league in passing yards allowed.

New Giants coach John Harbaugh must really love this guy, as he was in Baltimore when the Ravens made him a fourth-round pick in 2022. This is the richest deal in NFL history for a punter. 27-year-old Stout was indeed a first-team All Pro in 2025, while the field position game is more important than ever with short kickoff fields and punters growing ever more talented and sophisticated. The G-Men also have a rookie quarterback contract. That’s the long way of saying they can afford this kind of splurge at a non-premium position.

Rachaad White is a free agent and the Bucs chose not to tender Sean Tucker, a restricted free agent, so the team entered free agency without a backup to Bucky Irving. Gainwell will take on that role and a $14 million contract suggests he could earn more than just backup duties. After catching 73 passes for 486 yards and three scores in 2025, Gainwell would be a natural replacement for White’s role as the team’s primary option on passing downs. Bucky Irving should still be in line for the bulk of the carries, but Gainwell could take the PPR floor out from under him.

Kyle Pitts has a caddy for 2026. Hooper spent the first four years of his career with Atlanta, but has not started more than 10 games since 2021 and is likely just a backup barring some sort of shocking Pitts trade. At 32, Hooper will be well off the fantasy radar. It’s a fine depth signing for Atlanta.

This is a logical landing spot for both sides, as Trubisky spent the 2021 season in Buffalo when the current Titans OC, Brian Daboll, was the Bills’ offensive coordinator. Trubisky hasn’t started a game since 2023, and has thrown for 492-6-0 while appearing in 13 games over the last two seasons. He’ll serve as a good mentor for Cam Ward and will be a reliable option in a pinch of Ward were to ever miss time.
