Cross is set to sign with the Commanders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cross is an extremely durable safety, playing in all 17 regular-season games for the Colts over the 2025 season and logging 94 percent or more of the defensive snaps in 14 of those contests. The 24-year-old will be a youthful addition to a defense that has prioritized acquiring mainly older veteran players over the past few seasons.

The Jets have agreed to a one-year deal with Mitchell, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell is re-signing with the Jets as a depth piece on the offensive line. The 26-year-old has spent all four of his previous NFL seasons with New York, starting in 17 total games in his career.

The Ravens plan to sign Hawkins to a two-year deal, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hawkins is set to receive a two-year deal totalling $10 million. The defensive back started all 15 regular-season games he participated in during the 2025 campaign, logging 71 tackles (45 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and added six passes defensed for four interceptions as well. The Ravens will acquire a safety coming off a career year to pair up with All-Pro Kyle Hamilton.

The Falcons have agreed to a one-year deal with Tindall, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tindall spent the second half of the 2025 season with Arizona after signing with them in December. In seven games with the team, the 25-year-old accrued eight tackles (four solo), acting as a rotational player on defense. Prior to his stint with the Cardinals, Tindall spent three seasons with Miami in a similar depth role.

The Seahawks are set to re-sign Jones to a one-year deal, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks in 2025, resulting in a victory over the Patriots in Super Bowl LX. The backup offensive tackle was an instrumental piece of the team's journey to the NFC's top seed, as he started at tackle for the final three games of the regular season due to Charles Cross' injury. Jones' production as the next man up seems to have earned him a chance to try to chase another Lombardi with the Seahawks in 2026.

Okonkwo has agreed to terms on a three-year contract with Washington, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okonkwo is moving on from Tennessee after four seasons to become the new top pass-catching TE for quarterback Jayden Daniels, joining a positional room that also includes Ben Sinnott and John Bates (who combined for 22 catches in 2025). Now entering his age-27 season, Okonkwo has tallied over 400 receiving yards in four consecutive years and brings a respectable production floor to the Commanders. For fantasy purposes, Okonkwo will be a sleeper breakout candidate at the tight end position in the event that Daniels is the quarterback able to unlock the untapped potential promised by Okonkwo's YAC abilities and speed (4.52 40).

The Dolphins are set to re-sign Gay, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gay signed a one-year contract with the Dolphins for the 2025 season, and it is likely the team has agreed to yet another one-year deal to keep the linebacker through 2026. He participated in all 17 regular-season games for the Dolphins in 2025, logging 20 tackles (10 solo), including 2.0 sacks. The 28-year-old also managed to pick up two passes defensed, creating a decent amount of havoc for the mere 131 defensive snaps he played.

Jones (hip) agreed to terms on a restructured contract Wednesday that will allow him to remain with the Vikings for the 2026 season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones is lowering his base salary for the 2026 season to $5.5 million, a figure that makes it more realistic for Minnesota to retain the 31-year-old veteran for the 2026 campaign rather than release him in a cap-saving maneuver. Last year Jones was limited to just 12 regular-season appearances due to a combination of injuries, missing Week 18 due to a hip issue, but there have been no reports that the veteran running back will be limited at all during spring activities. Jones logged 132 carries for 548 yards and two touchdowns while adding 28 catches (on 41 targets) for 199 yards and another score in 2025 and currently stands alongside Jordan Mason atop the Vikings' backfield, though the team could still make further additions to that unit in free agency and/or April's draft.

The Patriots have agreed to a one-year deal with Byard, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Byard is set to make $9 million in 2026 as he moves on to help a Patriots defense fresh off the Super Bowl LX loss. The former Bears safety ended 2025 with 93 tackles (61 solo) and eight passes defensed for seven interceptions over 17 regular-season games. The ball hawk will help offset free agency losses for a Patriots defense that is looking to maintain control of the AFC East and string together deep playoff runs.

Taylor (shoulder) is slated to re-sign with the 49ers, per his representation at Equity Sports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor missed the entire 2025 campaign due to a shoulder injury suffered during the preseason, for which he required surgery, but he's presumably now fully healthy and ready for the start of offseason activities. In what will be his age-28 season, Taylor projects to provide backfield depth behind Christian McCaffrey, Jordan James and Isaac Guerendo.
