Troy Hairston
LB CLE (9)
Fri 5/16/25 7:44 AM

Hairston is in line for a role on the 2025 roster with the expectation that the Browns will utilize the fullback position this season, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hairston, who signed a futures contract with the Browns in January, has game experience at fullback from when he was with the Texans. Whether the Browns actually carry a fullback and make plans to use the position will evolve over the summer. Hairston's fate is tied to the number of tight ends and true running backs that end up sticking around.

QJustin Lockhart
WR FA
Thu 5/15/25 7:48 PM

Lockhart (undisclosed) was waived from injured reserve with an injury settlement by the Chiefs on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
The wide receiver will now be eligible to play in 2025 since he's been waived with the settlement. An undrafted free agent who signed with Kansas City earlier this month, Lockhart caught 53 passes for 983 yards and five touchdowns at San Jose State in 2024.

RB FA
Thu 5/15/25 7:41 PM

Ingram (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Chiefs on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
The running back will revert to injured reserve once he clears waivers. Ingram spent 2024 with Kansas City, appeared in one game and on five special-teams snaps and landed a reserve/future contract after the season. The 2022 sixth-round pick of the Cardinals spent two seasons with his original team and carried the ball 62 times for 136 yards and a touchdown.

Patrick Murtagh
TE FA
Thu 5/15/25 7:25 PM

Murtagh was waived by the Jaguars on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The tight end appears to be healthy again since he was let go with no injury designation. Murtagh signed with the Jags in April 2024 through the NFL's International Player Pathway Program and then broke his ankle during a training camp goal-line drill. The former track athlete and Australian rules football player will now have to look elsewhere for his next NFL opportunity.

Christian Barmore
DE/IL NE (14)
Thu 5/15/25 7:09 PM

Barmore (illness) said Thursday that he's past his blood clot issue, cleared for offseason workouts and expecting to play Week 1, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
The defensive tackle was diagnosed with blood clots ahead of the 2024 campaign and then missed the first 10 games. After returning for four contests, his symptoms came back, forcing him onto the reserve/non-football illness list for the final three weeks of the season. The Alabama product and 2021 second-round pick recorded 64 tackles (39 solo), including 8.5 sacks, and six pass breakups in 2023, his last healthy season.

Eric Johnson
IL/DT IND (11)
Wed 5/14/25 8:27 PM

The Patriots released Johnson on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson joined the Patriots prior to the start of last season and ended up recording 17 tackles (two solo) across 11 games played. The 26-year-old can contribute on both defense and special teams and will now look for a new opportunity elsewhere.

Elgton Jenkins
GB (5)
Wed 5/14/25 8:24 PM

Jenkins is skipping Green Bay's offseason workouts, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Jenkins has recovered from the shoulder injury he suffered during the team's wild-card loss versus the Eagles in January, the 26-year-old is instead holding out due to a contract dispute. Jenkins could be moved from guard to center ahead of the start of the upcoming season and it remains to be seen when he'll rejoin the team.

Jadon Janke
WR GB (5)
Wed 5/14/25 8:15 PM

The Packers signed Janke on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Janke spent time with both the Texans and Dolphins during the 2024 offseason but has yet to appear in an NFL game. He will face an uphill battle to make Green Bay's final roster and could be a candidate to land on their practice squad.

Jabari Small
RB FA
Wed 5/14/25 8:10 PM

The Titans waived Small on Wednesday, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Small first joined the team as an undrafted free agent ahead of the 2024 campaign and spent the majority of last season on Tennessee's practice squad. He has yet to appear in an NFL game and will now look to catch on with another team.

Trayveon Williams
RB NE (14)
Wed 5/14/25 8:06 PM

The Patriots signed Williams a Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams spent the first six seasons of his career with the Bengals and will now join the Patriots. He did record a single offensive touch during the 2024 campaign as he played almost exclusively on special teams and will likely have a similar role with New England should he make their final roster.
