The Steelers and QB Aaron Rodgers have agreed to a one-year deal, according to multiple reports, with $22 million in guarantees and a max value of $25 million. Rodgers will now return for his second season in Pittsburgh and reunite with new HC Mike McCarthy for the first time since 2018. McCarthy served as Packers HC from 2006 -- the year after Green Bay drafted Rodgers -- until 2018, a span that included 11 seasons with Rodgers as the lead QB.

The Dolphins have agreed to a four-year extension with RB De’Von Achane, according to multiple reports. The deal will pay $64 million, with a max value of $68 million, and includes $32 million in guarantees. Even the lower annual average beats what Breece Hall got on his three-year extension with the Jets ($16 million vs. $15.25 million), and both beat Kenneth Walker III’s free-agent pact with the Chiefs ($14.35 million per year). Only Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey carry larger annual averages among RBs on their current contracts.

Giants WR Malik Nabers underwent a second surgery on the knee he injured last September, The Athletic's Dan Duggan reports.

The Browns on Friday announced that LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah has landed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list. That means he's out for the entire 2026 season. JOK is still trying to work back from a neck injury he suffered in Week 8 of 2024. He also spent 2025 on the reserve/PUP list.

The Vikings agreed Thursday to a one-year contract with former 49ers WR Jauan Jennings. The deal will pay Jennings $8 million, with potential for the earnings to climb as high as $13 million. Jennings spent his first six NFL seasons in San Francisco and will turn 29 in July.

Jaguars GM James Gladstone said he expects Travis Hunter to play both offense and defense again this season, and that the team is “absolutely not” done using him as a two-way player.

Hunter played 324 snaps at WR and 162 at CB last season, which matches the earlier reports pointing to a bigger defensive role. Gladstone did not call Hunter a “full-time” CB, but it sounds like those snap counts could be much closer to even in 2026.
