Ridley hasn’t played since Week 6 because of the hamstring issue. He was listed as questionable for Week 11 after getting in three limited practices. Ridley’s return should provide a small boost to a struggling Tennessee offense, but they weren’t getting much going before he went down with the hamstring injury. Don’t expect a massive turnaround for Cam Ward and company with him back in the lineup. Ridley is nothing more than a WR4 for his first game back.

Hendrickson’s asking price is reportedly somewhere in the $30 to $40 million range after Danielle Hunter and Jaelan Phillips both signed deals with AAVs over $30 million. It was reported earlier that, as things stand, Hendrickson will likely be “too expensive” for the Cowboys to bring in. Interestingly, the Bills who are roughly $14 million over the cap right now per OverTheCap.com could be interested in Hendrickson if they can find a way to get a deal done, but they would have to go through some steps to clear some cap space and get a deal done. Hendrickson totaled four sacks in seven games and will be 31 at the start of next season. Even if the Bills are interested in Hendrickson, they will likely wait for his asking price to come down given their current situation.

Lewis joins Coby Bryant and Devin Bush as newcomers to the defense in Chicago, although he appears unlikely to start in the secondary. The entirety of his six-year career was spent as a member of the Bills prior to his new contract, starting 14 games across 76 appearances. The financials of the contract were not yet made available.

The Patriots believe the asking price for Brown is too high, but they remain interested in the star receiver even after it was announced earlier that they had reached an agreement with Doubs on a four-year, $80 million contract. The combination of Brown and Doubs would give Drake Maye a much-improved duo over what he had last year in Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte. AJB Watch will continue until a deal gets done, or the Eagles announce they are no longer interested in dealing him.

The Cardinals bolstered their offensive line depth with the seven-year veteran that has played all offensive line positions except center during his career. Pryor made 15 starts for the Bears in 2024 but has amassed only 40 starts in 109 career appearances since 2019. The details of the contract were not yet made available.

It’s a reunion for Johnston, who played for the Steelers in 2024 before splitting time with the Bills and Giants last season. The Australian punter appeared in just four games last season and averaged 44.5 yards per punt while landing 18.2 percent of his kicks inside his opponent’s 20-yard line. Johnston will likely compete to earn the punting job in training camp.

The financials of the deal were not immediately made available. Moore managed only four appearances for the Panthers in 2025 due to a serious elbow injury and was made a healthy inactive for the team’s Wild Card loss to the Rams. Familiarity with head coach Dave Canales and his veteran presence in the locker room were enough to warrant a new contract, although he is likely to play behind Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, and Jalen Coker.

The four-year veteran came into his own in 2024, starting 17 games for the Chargers as a rotational run-stopper. He heads to Dallas on a one-year, prove-it deal after failing to remain with the Chargers following his rookie deal. The move appears to be a depth play for a team continuing to search for ways to make up for the loss of Micah Parsons.

Open competitions do not often favor the incumbent, particularly an incumbent who is likely to miss most of the offseason activities and training camp with a torn ACL. We’d handicap Tua Tagovailoa as the favorite to win the job at this moment, giving him some QB2 superflex upside in what figures to be a run-first offense with Bijan Robinson.

Primarily a contributor to special teams, Green provides big-bodied depth at corner and has familiarity with head coach John Harbaugh. His six tackles on special teams in 2025 ranked second on the team despite playing in only 11 games.

After starting all 15 games he appeared in during the 2024 season, Locke made just three starts in 16 games last season, totaling 16 tackles and three pass breakups. The former UDFA became a major contributor for the Broncos in 2023 when he emerged to total 53 tackles, three sacks and five pass. Locke will join former Broncos DB coach Christian Parker in Dallas, and is capable of lining up from multiple spots. Even if he doesn’t earn a “starting” role in Dallas, Locke will likely see plenty of work for the Cowboys next season.
