The Colts are trading LB Zaire Franklin to the Packers for DL Colby Wooden. Franklin spent eight years with the Colts and arrives with two left on his contract.

The Texans released RB Joe Mixon, according to multiple reports. Mixon requested the move, and the team probably had no issue obliging considering how the last 12 months played out. Mixon suffered a foot injury away from the team last offseason and missed the entire 2025 campaign. The move saves Houston $8 million in cap space.

The Baltimore Ravens are acquiring five-time Pro Bowl DE Maxx Crosby from the Raiders for 2026 and 2027 first-round picks. The deal becomes official once Crosby passes a physical at the start of the new league year on March 11. It’s the first time in Baltimore’s 31-year history that the team has traded a first-round pick for a veteran player. Crosby immediately boosts a Ravens' defense that fell to 24th in yards allowed (354.5) last season.

The Raiders plan to release QB Geno Smith at the start of the new league year next week, according to multiple reports. Vegas tried to find a trade partner but unsurprisingly found no suitors. Smith was set to count $40 million against the 2026 cap. His release will save the Raiders $8 million.

The Bears are releasing LB Tremain Edmunds, according to multiple reports. The move snips the final season of a four-year contract and saves the team about $15 million in cap space. Edmunds started 45 of a possible 51 games across his three years with Chicago.

The Bills and Bears have agreed to a trade to send WR D.J. Moore to Buffalo. The Bears are getting a "mid-round pick" in return, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's a much-needed boost to QB Josh Allen's weaponry -- and frees up opportunity for WRs Luther Burden and Rome Odunze and TE Colston Loveland in Chicago.

Update: The Bears are sending Moore and a 2026 fifth-round pick to Buffalo for a 2026 second-rounder.

The Falcons are planning to release WR Darnell Mooney, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Mooney was set to count $18.4 million against the salary cap in 2026. The Falcons will save $7.42 million with the move.

The Buccaneers will not place the restricted tender on RB Sean Tucker, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. That'll make Tucker a free agent when the new year league starts next week. It's a slightly surprising move considering the tender would have paid Tucker a reasonable $3.52 million on a one-year deal. But the Buccaneers have never seemed to like him as much as many in the fantasy community.

The Giants are releasing veteran LB Bobby Okereke ahead of the final year on his contract. The move clears $9 million in cap space, according to Spotrac. Okereke started 46 of 51 games across three seasons after arriving from the Colts in free agency, sitting out five weeks in 2024.

The Patriots will be releasing WR Stefon Diggs when the new league year begins next week. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that the veteran WR is due $1.7 million in fully guaranteed money for the coming season, with another $6 million set to become guaranteed next week if he remained on the roster.

The Cardinals will release QB Kyler Murray when the new league year starts on Wednesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That's barring a trade happening before now and then -- which won't. Arizona owes Murray $36.8 million guaranteed in 2026, and another $19.5 million for 2017 would have triggered on March 15 if Murray was still on the roster. So this move has been expected for a while.

The Colts are using the transition tag on QB Daniel Jones, according to multiple reports. That'll pay Jones $37.8 million on a one-year deal. That's about $6 million less than the franchise-tag number for QBs -- but gives Jones the chance to negotiate a long-term deal with other teams. The Colts would have the chance to match any deal and retain Jones. Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, this is the first time the transition tag has been used on a QB since Jeff George in 1996.

The Jets are placing the franchise tag on RB Breece Hall. The move doesn't really come as a surprise. Speculation for weeks has centered on the team using either the franchise or transition tag to keep Hall around. But the details here still look noteworthy. The tag guarantees a $14.293 million one-year deal (once the player signs) if there's no long-term deal by mid-July.

The Lions are trading RB David Montgomery to the Texans. According to NFL Network, Houston's sending fourth-round 2026 pick, a seventh-rounder in 2027, and OL Juice Scruggs to Detroit. Montgomery spent the past three years with the Lions after signing as a free agent. He remains under contract through 2027.

Ohio State WR Carnell Tate clocked an official 4.53-second 40-yard dash at the Combine. That lands him in the 35th percentile among all WRs to run at the Combine since 1999. At 192 pounds, Tate earned a 47th-percentile Speed Score.

Nebraska RB Emmett Johnson turned in an underwhelming Combine showing. The 5'10, 202-pounder clocked a 4.56-second 40 time, registering a 41st percentile Speed Score. He also posted subpar marks with:

• A 35.5-inch vertical
• 10-foot broad jump
• 4.29-second short shuttle
• 7.32-second three-cone

The Vikings will release RB Aaron Jones prior to the start of the new league year, barring a trade, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. The move will save Minnesota $7.75 million against the cap.

Arkansas RB Mike Washington flaunted a rare combination of size and speed at the Combine. After tipping the scales at 223 pounds, he blazed a 4.33-second 40-yard dash. That earned Washington a 126.9 Speed Score, which lands in the 100th percentile at his position. That, of course, doesn't guarantee Washington success in the NFL. But Speed Score is one of the most predictive metrics we have for incoming RBs. And there's plenty to like on Washington's tape. Although he didn't truly break out until his fifth and final college season, Washington piled up 1,070 rushing yards on 6.4 yards per carry this past year. He ranked fifth among 27 of this year's top RB prospects in both yards after contact per attempt (3.86) and rate of runs to go for 15+ yards (18.0%). Washington also caught 28 balls last season. He could now in the mix to be the third RB off the board in the NFL Draft. And, depending on landing spot, Washington could be an early-second-round or late-first-round target in dynasty rookie drafts. He's also been a strong value in early best-ball drafts, although expect his price to rise after this Combine performance.

Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price measured 5'11 and 203 pounds at the Combine — seven pounds lighter than his listed college weight. That puts him in just the 18th percentile among Combine RBs since 1999. Price then ran a 4.49-second 40-yard dash. His 99.9 Speed Score, which accounts for weight and 40 time, lands in the 66th percentile. None of this is overly damaging, but it’s a bit underwhelming for the near-consensus No. 2 RB in this class. Price played behind Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame and was lightly used, averaging just 8.3 carries and 0.4 catches per game over the past two seasons. There are still plenty of big plays on his tape: 19.2% of his career runs gained 15+ yards -- the second-highest rate among 27 of this year’s top RB prospects. But the measurables raise some concern that his production may have been fueled more by situation than individual talent. Price averaged a middling +0.8 yards per carry over expected this past season. He still looks like the No. 2 RB in the class, but the gap between Love and the rest of the group appears as wide as ever.

The Cowboys have placed the franchise tag on WR George Pickens. He and the Cowboys still have until July 15 to agree to a long-term deal. If they don't, Pickens would be set to make $27.3 million in 2026. Dallas hasn't seemed overly aggressive in locking up Pickens for the long haul -- and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said earlier this month that a tag-and-trade is a possibility. We'll continue to keep tabs on the situation. Our best guess is that Pickens plays out this season on the tag for the Cowboys.
