Diggs wasn’t able to get in on the action in the Bills’ blowout win over the Jets. Despite leading the team with eight targets, he managed just four receptions, with his longest play coming on an 11-yard catch in the third quarter. Diggs has now struggled in back-to-back outings, but will look to get right against a porous Eagles defense in Week 12. He’ll be a fringe WR1 in that matchup.

The Dolphins said the same thing about Jaylen Waddle before trading him to the Broncos in exchange for draft picks. Schefter said teams had reached out about Achane and been rebuffed by a Dolphins organization entering what appears to be a multi-year rebuild. If he remains in Miami for 2026, Achane — who ran for 1,350 yards and eight touchdowns in 2025 — will remain the centerpiece of the team’s offense. Entering his age-25 season, Achane could end up signing an extension with the Dolphins if they are intent on keeping him during a total franchise rebuild.

Hekker is a 14-year veteran, spending time with the Rams, Panthers, and Titans. He was a four-time All-Pro with the Rams early in his career and averaged 46.8 yards per punt with the Titans last season. The Vikings now fill the punter role with Hekker on a one-year deal.

Burford reunites with new Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak, who was on the 49ers’ offensive staff in 2023. The 25-year-old Burford started 16 games as a rookie and 13 more in 2023. Primarily playing the guard spot, he finished 2025 with a 62.6 PFF run blocking grade, No. 43 among guards. Though he was not as effective in pass blocking, Burford offers depth with the ability to start if needed. The Raiders continue to bulk up their offensive line ahead of the potential selection of QB Fernando Mendoza in April’s draft.

Van Denmark is a restricted free agent who was tendered by the Bills last week. This means the Bills will have a chance to match the offer sheet the Vikings have given him. The 27-year-old has been a reserve tackle for Buffalo over the last three seasons, starting six games over that time. With the Vikings extending Van Denmark an offer sheet, the Bills will have five days to either retain him, or let him leave for Minnesota.

Wonnum joins Detroit’s pass rush rotation after two seasons with the Panthers. He totaled seven sacks in 24 games over that span, recording three passes defended and an interception last season. Spending four seasons with the Vikings prior to his stint in Carolina, Wonnum’s best statistical season came in 2023, when he tallied eight total sacks and returned a fumble for a touchdown. The 28-year-old will now reinforce the Lions’ defensive line on a contract worth up to $6 million.

The Board of Player Representatives elected Tretter as the NFLPA’s fifth executive director. He served as the NFLPA’s president from 2020-2024 and was the union’s chief strategy officer under former NFLPA Executive Director Lloyd Howell. Tretter resigned from this role last year after Howell resigned amid an expense-report scandal. Tretter is now back as the new Executive Director of the NFLPA.

Surratt’s agency announced Tuesday that he will be re-signing with the Seahawks. The 29-year-old has primarily been a special teamer throughout his career, only seeing more than 10 defensive snaps in a season in 2024 with the Jets. The Seahawks bring him back to be a core special teamer for 2026.

Njoku was released by the Browns as the new league year began, designated as a post-June 1st cut. The 29-year-old spent the first nine seasons of his career in Cleveland, making a Pro Bowl in 2023 when he caught 81-of-123 targets for 882 yards and six touchdowns. Njoku played in 12 games last season as Harold Fannin Jr. slowly took over, catching 33-of-48 targets for 293 yards and four touchdowns. The Ravens are in the market for a receiving tight end after Isaiah Likely departed for the Giants. Njoku would fit into a limited role between Mark Andrews and newly-signed blocking tight end Durham Smythe if he lands in Baltimore.

Looking at Deculus’s 2025 season, in which he finished with a 36.5 PFF blocking grade, leads us to note that when Adam Schefter writes that Deculus “becomes the newest OL to be added to the Titans’ line,” it is the kindest thing one can say about this signing. He is by far the newest member of the Titans offensive line as of this typing.

Buford, one of the last young linemen available this offseason, visited the Chargers earlier in the week as well and is making the rounds. Entering his age-26 season off a down year, he presents some bounceback potential on a second contract.
