Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Colts are ‘in discussions with him about signing there.” Perriman spent the past two years in Tampa Bay, though a slew of injuries held him to 17 appearances over the pair of seasons. A reserve option for his second stint with the Bucs, Perriman totaled a 20-267-2 receiving line in 2021 and 2022 combined. Perriman has carved out a solid role as a journeyman receiver for hire and makes sense as a depth option for the young Indianapolis receiving room. He doesn’t figure to hold any fantasy value as a Colt but should assume a leadership role in the locker room if he is signed.

He missed all of last season with an elbow injury. Isaac recorded one TFL in 2024 during 32 defensive snaps. The Ravens have largely covered their EDGE hole between Trey Hendrickson and Zion Young, but it sounds like Isaac won’t even be able to play a depth role in 2026 from where things stand today.

Buchanan tore an ACL in December. He’s at OTAs, but isn’t described as actively participating in The Athletic’s story. We’d expect him to be a PUP List possibility when training camp starts given how late his ACL tear happened, but it’s not completely off the table that he’s ready to work in August.

Madubuike is at the facility rehabbing and has been taking part “in aspects” of the offseason workout program. While the Ravens are publicly playing it coy about the odds of Madubuike playing next year, they certainly seem to believe there’s a real chance it happens. “In aspects” will probably need to become “in full” before anyone has real faith in him playing in September.

McLane added that he thinks that’s why Brown’s value on the market wasn’t “what you thought it would be.” Brown held his press conference with the Patriots today and said “I know this isn’t heaven. But it’s close to it.” We don’t think this report holds any real impact on Brown’s 2026 status, but it’s worth considering for dynasty leaguers and keeper leagues as Brown enters his age-29 season.

Broadly speaking: This is good news, but there’s many steps of the rehab process still to come. Colts GM Chris Ballard said in April that Jones is “shooting for Week 1.” That implied a little bit of a question mark. If Jones does start Week 1, he will be hard to trust in fantasy leagues, as the Achilles is likely to hinder him for quite a bit as a runner. That question doesn’t have to be answered for quite a few months, though, and it seems like Jones has been ahead of expectations of his recovery for some time.

Olave is currently set to play 2026 on the fifth-year option, but the two sides have been rumored to be in extension discussions for a while. “I feel like we’re going to come down to that before training camp,” Olave said. The Saints haven’t exactly been in a rush to settle their in-house contract issues this offseason, with Alvin Kamara also sort of dangling in the void.

Not a great sign for Sanders’ future that he couldn’t beat out Ben Sauls and Dominic Zvada to even become part of the Giants kicker competition for 2026. He’ll look for another landing spot to try to win a job.

Hill suffered a “devastating, awful” (Mike Vrabel’s words) knee injury in OTAs. He had just signed a three-year contract, and his absence will likely have the Patriots relying more on Reggie Gilliam as a blocker while elevating the snap count of third-round draft pick Eli Raridon.

Mitchell now gets to be the “other” player who has been on New England and Philadelphia’s rosters this offseason. Released by the Patriots after the draft, Mitchell will try to catch on as a depth back behind Saquon Barkley.

$21 million of this contract is guaranteed as Hall figures to step into more of Boye Mafe’s role. Hall was entering the final year of his rookie deal. Hall fell from eight sacks in 2024 to just two in 2025 as Seattle embraced a deeper edge rusher rotation with the signing of DeMarcus Lawrence. Hall should be in good shape to bounce back in 2026 with his contract situation now taken care of.
