Hall was cut by the Seahawks on Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hall spent the entirety of the 2024 campaign with Seattle, the majority of which was spent on the practice squad. The quarterback was elevated multiple times and ultimately signed to the active roster late last season, but he did not appear in a game. Hall appeared in three contests, including a start, with the Vikings in 2023, completing 13 of 20 passes for 168 yards, while adding 14 rushing yards on six carries, but he did lose two fumbles and throw an interception as well. Hall will now look for a fresh start ahead of the 2025 season.

Karlaftis had the fifth-year option picked up on his rookie contract for $15.1 million by the Chiefs on Tuesday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Karlaftis has emerged as a pillar of the Chiefs' defense and he'll now be under contract through the 2026 campaign. The defensive lineman produced 35 total tackles (21 solo), including 8.0 sacks, while also adding five passes defensed over 16 regular-season games with Kansas City last year. He will likely start opposite of Mike Danna on the team's defensive line in 2025 with Chris Jones and Jerry Tillery ticketed to be sandwiched between them.

The Chiefs exercised the fifth-year option for $13.6 million on McDuffie's rookie contract Tuesday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDuffie will now stick around Kansas City for an additional year in 2026, which comes as no surprise. In his third season with the Chiefs in 2024, the cornerback compiled 59 total tackles (45 solo), including 0.5 sacks, while also adding a career-high 13 passes defensed, two of which were interceptions, and a forced fumble over 16 regular-season contests.

Simmons signed a one-year contract with the Packers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Simmons visited the Packers on April 14 and he'll now officially join the team ahead of the 2025 campaign. The linebacker, who was the eighth pick of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Cardinals, is coming off of a 2024 campaign in which he recorded 21 total tackles (12 solo), two passes defensed and a forced fumble over 17 regular-season games with the Giants. The 26-year-old's 6-foot-4, 238-pound frame allows for some positional variability and he'll likely be a valuable asset for Green Bay on both defense and special teams in 2025.

Briningstool is slated to sign with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent, Pete Grathoff of The Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Briningstool is coming off of a senior season at Clemson in which he caught 49 of 76 targets for 530 yards and seven touchdowns over 13 games in 2024. The tight end will look to impress with Kansas City at the team's rookie minicamp and OTAs down the road this offseason.

Van Ginkel agreed to terms Tuesday on a one-year, $23 million contract extension with the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Van Ginkel gets paid following a tremendous debut year with Minnesota, in which he tallied 79 tackles (50 solo), including a career-high 11.5 sacks across 17 regular-season games. The soon-to-be 30-year-old also had six pass breakups, including two interceptions (both pick-sixes), and one forced fumble. Van Ginkel has proven an ability to create big plays in the Vikings' defensive scheme, and he figures to remain a high-impact fantasy option in IDP formats during the 2025 campaign.

Alexander (knee) could still play for the Packers in 2025, though a trade or release also remain possible outcomes, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander is participating in Green Bay's voluntary offseason program, and the team's only addition at cornerback in the 2025 NFL Draft was Michigan's Micah Robinson, taken in the seventh round. Following the draft, however, general manager Brian Gutekunst said there were "no updates" on Alexander's status, per Demovsky. The two-time Pro Bowler has been limited the last two seasons due to injuries and is currently working his way back from surgery to address a right PCL tear, and he has two years remaining on his current contract. While all options remain on the table, a reconciliation between both sides might be the best outcome for Green Bay based on the team's current roster.

The Chargers applied the unrestricted free-agent tender to Dobbins on Tuesday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Los Angeles' application of the scarcely used UFA tender means that Dobbins will will count toward the NFL compensatory draft pick formula if he signs with another club prior to July 21 or the first scheduled day of training camp, whichever is the later date. If Dobbins doesn't ink a deal before that deadline, the Chargers will receive exclusive negotiating rights with him. The 26-year-old impressed with a 195-905-9 rushing line across 13 regular-season appearances in 2024, but the Bolts have since invested a first-round pick in rookie Omarion Hampton and signed Najee Harris to a one-year contract.

The Commanders are releasing Gonzalez on Tuesday after having signed Matt Gay, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez performed admirably for Washington after Austin Seibert (groin) was lost to injury in Week 12 last year, suiting up for six regular-season games and three postseason contests. In that span he converted 12 of his 15 field-goal attempts and all 27 of his extra-point tries. Gonzalez, who will turn 30 in early May, likely won't need long to catch on with a new team.

Gay signed a one-year, $4.25 million contract with Washington on Tuesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gay's deal is fully guaranteed and reportedly coincides with the release of veteran incumbent Zane Gonzalez. Across 16 regular-season appearances with Indianapolis in 2024, Gay converted 31 of 37 field-goal attempts (84 percent), with all six of his misses coming from 50-plus yards out. He also converted all 33 of his extra-point tries.
