$68 million of this is guaranteed per Adam Schefter. Oweh did indeed hit the $25 million mark that Daniel Popper believed could lead to the Chargers letting him walk. The 27-year-old EDGE had 7.5 sacks in 12 games with the Chargers last year and will now try to revitalize Washington’s lagging pass rush. He’s been more of a complementary rusher so far — this is a contract that says the Commanders want him to be the main man.

Otomewo made 12 appearances for the Steelers in 2025. Now entering his age-28 season, he appears to be no more than backend roster-type depth at this stage in his career.

Williams was initially a fourth-round pick by the Chiefs and started 12-of-65 games played. He saw a reduced role in 2025, playing just 17 defensive snaps and primarily appearing on special teams. The Titans sign him to a two-year deal as depth in the secondary and on special teams.

The Bills dealt with injuries at the punter spot last season, bringing in Wishnowsky as their third punter of the season. He went on to punt in 13 games, averaging 41.8 yards per punt. The 34-year-old will return to Buffalo for another season.

The deal has a maximum value of $6.1 million. Allen is an eight-year NFL backup with 19 career starts under his belt. The 30-year-old most recently played for the Lions and has attempted just three passes over the last three seasons. He reunites with the Bills, where he spent the 2023 season in Buffalo’s quarterback room behind Josh Allen.

The deal is fully guaranteed and keeps the seven-year veteran with the Jets on a team-friendly contract for the second consecutive season. Beck played only 110 offensive snaps a season ago as the team somewhat inexplicably went away from 21-personnel under former offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand. That could change with Frank Reich now at the helm in 2026.

The details of the contract have yet to be released. Harris used to be a regular starter for the Texans but was relegated primarily to special teams duties in 2025. He was credited with a single start and managed just 11 tackles across 15 games. He will hope to find more work on defense in Atlanta.

Mundt is a nine-year veteran with 74 receptions for 658 yards and four touchdowns in his career. Primarily a blocking tight end, Mundt’s best years were his three seasons with the Vikings, playing in all 51 games and catching all four of his career touchdowns in that span. He will have some interest from teams looking to add a blocking tight end to their room this offseason.

Dowdle will presumably form a one-two punch with incumbent starter Jaylen Warren in Pittsburgh after notching consecutive 1,000-yard seasons for the Cowboys and Panthers. It also signals a level of discomfort with former third-round pick Kaleb Johnson, who played sparingly during his rookie season following multiple special teams miscues. The financials of the contract were not immediately made available. Although unlikely to match the 235 carries he averaged the previous two seasons, Dowdle’s size and frame keep his touchdown equity high on the run-first Steelers.

Listed as an outside linebacker by Minnesota, Richter sees nearly all of his work on special teams. He logged the 20th-most special teams snaps in the entire league last year and over half of his eight combined tackles came on special teams. Richter appeared in all 17 games last year desite his limtied role on defense.

John Harbaugh continues to try to bring over his former Ravens players to New York, expecting to add Washington to the Giants defense with this latest report. Washington is a former UDFA who played a big role in 2024, starting 10 games, intercepting two passes, and forcing a fumble. Though he is undersized at 5-8, 180 pounds, Washington is a big-hitting safety with versatility. He tore his Achilles last offseason and returned to the field in Week 15. Now nearly a full year removed from his torn Achilles, Washington has a shot at carving out a role on the Giants defense.
