The Falcons have signed free agent running back Tyler Goodson, the team announced Thursday.
Goodson is a native of Suwanee, Georgia, who attended North Gwinnett High School, so he is returning to his home state to continue his professional career. He will join a backfield that features Bijan Robinson.
The Packers signed Goodson as an undrafted free agent in 2022 after he gained more than 3,000 scrimmage yards during his three-year career at the University of Iowa. He spent his rookie season on the Packers’ practice squad before joining the Colts in 2023.
Goodson has appeared in 33 games for the Colts the past three seasons with one start. He has gained 376 yards from scrimmage, including 264 on the ground, and has scored two touchdowns.
In 2025, Goodson played 35 offensive snaps and 130 on special teams in 11 games. He had 11 touches for 32 yards.
Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier did not have the 2025 season he had envisioned after suffering a significant abdominal injury at the beginning of training camp.
But there are still several teams that are interested in him ahead of the 2026 draft.
In an interview with NFL Network this week, Nussmeier revealed he’s set to have workouts with the Jets and Rams, as well as take a top-30 pre-draft visit with the Colts.
“I’ve got a lot of stuff coming up. I’ve got the Jets coming in the next couple of days here. I’ve got the Rams coming into town. I’m heading out to Indianapolis,” Nussmeier said on The Insiders. “I’ve got Zooms every day, and I’m sure there will be a couple more visits in there. So, I’m just grateful to any organization that’s going to give me a chance.”
The Jets being interested in a potential quarterback is no surprise given the state of the position on the club’s roster. New York is also reportedly going to have a private workout with former Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson. The Jets hold the No. 2 and No. 16 overall picks in the first round as well as the No. 33 and No. 44 overall picks in the second round.
Los Angeles working out Nussmeier privately is intriguing, as the team may be looking to prepare for reigning MVP Matthew Stafford’s eventual retirement. The Rams traded their No. 29 overall pick to the Chiefs as part of the deal for Trent McDuffie, but still have the No. 13 overall pick in the first round from last year’s draft day trade with the Falcons. Los Angeles’ second-round pick is No. 61 overall.
As for the Colts, they recently re-signed quarterback Daniel Jones, but only to a two-year deal. The club also has Riley Leonard on the roster as well as 2023 No. 4 overall pick Anthony Richardson, though he has reportedly been given permission to seek a trade.
Free agent offensive tackle Luke Tenuta will remain in Indianapolis.
Tenuta re-signed with the Colts today, the team announced.
The 26-year-old Tenuta spent all of last year with the Colts and was active for four games. He will compete for a roster spot to provide depth on the offensive line this year.
Tenuta was originally a 2022 sixth-round pick of the Bills out of Virginia Tech. He has also played for the Packers and Cardinals.
The Commanders entered the offseason wanting to get Jayden Daniels another wide receiver alongside Terry McLaurin. That’s still on the list of priorities.
The first choice was apparently Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce, who re-signed with Indianapolis just before it became legal for teams to negotiate with free agents. According to John Keim of ESPN, a source said Pierce “absolutely” would have signed with the Commanders if he had reached free agency.
Realistically, however, if the Commanders were going to out-bid the Colts for Pierce, they would have made sure Pierce’s agent knew that before he re-signed with the Colts. Teams and agents talk all the time, and Pierce wouldn’t have signed with the Colts just before the start of the negotiating window unless he had a very good idea of what other offers would be out there once the window officially opened. So while the Commanders may have wanted Pierce, that doesn’t mean they would have gotten him, even if Pierce had waited long enough to let them make him an official offer.
With the Commanders still needing a No. 2 receiver to complement McLaurin, 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk would be an obvious choice. Daniels and Aiyuk are close friends and were teammates at Arizona State, and they’d love to play together again. Aiyuk is still under contract to the 49ers, but they have said they’ll move on from him this offseason. When the 49ers officially move him, Aiyuk would make a lot of sense in Washington.
The Commanders could also draft a wide receiver, and there are still veterans available in free agency Jauan Jennings, DeAndre Hopkins and Keenan Allen. It’s a position where the Commanders would still like to fill a need, even as free agency slows down.
The Colts will bring cornerback Cameron Mitchell back for another season.
Mitchell signed with the Colts today, the team announced.
Last year Mitchell started the season with the Browns but was cut in September. The Colts signed him in October, initially to the practice squad, but later promoted him to the active roster. Mitchell played eight games for the Colts in 2025, with one start, in addition to playing two games for the Browns.
The 24-year-old Mitchell was a fifth-round pick of the Browns in 2023 and has played a total of 32 NFL games with four starts.
