The Eagles are trading safety Sydney Brown to the Falcons for a swap of picks, according to multiple reports.
The teams swapped fourth- and sixth-round picks, with Philadelphia acquiring picks No. 114 and 197 and Atlanta receiving picks No. 122 and 215 in addition to Brown.
Brown is entering the final year of his contract with a $1.484 million base salary and a $1.829 million salary cap hit.
Brown, who turns 26 on Saturday, has played 42 games with nine starts in his three seasons. He has totaled 86 tackles, two interceptions, five passes defensed and two forced fumbles.
The Eagles made him a third-round pick in 2023.
In 2025, Brown played all 17 games with three starts, seeing action on 22 percent of the defensive snaps and 76 on special teams.
DeMarcco Hellams, who has played only 11 games the past three seasons due to injury, was the third safety for the Falcons before the trade.
The Dolphins are adding a punter.
Miami has agreed to terms with Bradley Pinion, according to a report from NFL Media.
Pinion, 31, spent the last four years with the Falcons. He averaged 45.1 yards per punt with a 40.6-yard net average in 2025 and 53.1 percent of his punts downed inside the 20-yard line.
Pinion has also served as a kickoff specialist, with his touchback rate at 24.4 percent in 2025.
A 49ers fifth-round pick in 2015, Pinion spent his first four seasons with San Francisco before heading to Tampa Bay in 2019. He then signed with the Falcons in the summer of 2022.
The Falcons have agreed to terms on a one-year deal, according to Jordan Schultz of The Schultz Report.
Holmes, 27, spent the past two seasons in Las Vegas.
He played 29 games but started only one for the Raiders, seeing action on 471 defensive snaps and 126 on special teams. Holmes totaled 49 tackles, a sack and three pass breakups in his time with the Raiders.
The Giants made Holmes a fourth-round pick in 2020.
He has appeared in 83 games with 12 starts in six NFL seasons, recording 164 tackles, four interceptions, 21 passes defended, two forced fumbles and 1.5 sacks.
Holmes has experience playing the nickel, providing the team with a backup plan if Billy Bowman Jr. doesn’t return from his Achilles injury before the start of the 2026 season.
Arizona has added a tight end.
The Cardinals announced on Wednesday that Teagan Quitoriano has signed with the team on a one-year contract.
Quitoriano, 26, was a Houston fifth-round pick in the 2022 draft, effectively spending his first three seasons with the club. He caught nine passes for 33 yards with two touchdowns with the Texans. He signed with the Falcons last March, appearing in 17 games with one start in 2025.
Teagan was mainly used as a special teams player, as he was on the field for 54 percent of the unit’s snaps last season. He played just 12 percent of offensive snaps.
Additionally, the Cardinals announced the previously reported signing of Devin Duvernay to a one-year deal.
The Falcons kicked off the offseason by installing a new group of decision-makers at the top of the franchise and they’ve spent the last week putting their stamp on the roster.
President of football Matt Ryan, General Manager Ian Cunningham and head coach Kevin Stefanski got the ball rolling by using a franchise tag on tight end Kyle Pitts and then moved on to signing players like quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, wide receiver Jahan Dotson, kicker Nick Folk, tight end Austin Hooper, punter Jake Bailey, edge rusher Samson Ebukam and others.
Cunningham said that the team went into the offseason “looking to elevate our floor” and he feels that they have succeeded in that effort.
“For the fans, I’m excited,” Cunningham said, via the team’s website. “We all are excited. We feel like we got better this week. Like I said, we’ve elevated our floor, but we’ve also got players that are coming in here ready to prove themselves, to showcase their ability and help our team for the now and in the future.”
The Falcons have not been to the playoffs since 2017 and Raheem Morris was the second straight head coach to pass through Atlanta without taking them to the postseason during his tenure. Stefanski’s chances to break that trend will be determined by how much higher he can get the ceiling in the coming months.
