QKhaDarel Hodge
WR FA
Mon 3/9/26 4:25 PM

Hodge (shoulder) was released by the Falcons with a failed physical designation Monday, Will McFadden and Tori McElhaney of the team's official site report.
EDGE Analysis
Hodge was informed in February that he will be released, and Monday's move makes it official. The 31-year-old wide receiver hasn't finished any of his eight regular seasons with more than 232 receiving yards, but Hodge should garner interest in the free-agent market due to his ability on special teams, for which he made the Pro Bowl in 2024.

Odafe Oweh
EDR/LB WAS (12)
Mon 3/9/26 4:20 PM1 Comment

Oweh agreed to terms Monday on a four-year, $100 million contract with Washington, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Oweh got off to a slow start in 2025, as he was held without a sack across five games with the Ravens, but he surged upon being traded to the Chargers and totaled 28 tackles (15 solo), including 7.5 sacks, across 12 regular-season appearances with Los Angeles. The 27-year-old also had 3.0 sacks in his lone playoff appearance, the Chargers' wild-card round loss to New England, so it's unsurprising to see the Commanders invest substantially in a bet on his upward trajectory. Oweh now will look to maximize his talents as a pass rusher under new defensive coordinator Daronte Jones.

Mon 3/9/26 4:11 PM

Stout agreed to terms Monday on a three-year, $12.3 million contract with the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stout's new contract will make him the highest-paid punter in the NFL once officially signed Wednesday. The All-Pro spent the first four years of his NFL career with Harbaugh in Baltimore and now follows the head coach to New York. He's averaged 47.5 yards per punt across his career.

Darnell Mooney
WR NYG (14)
Mon 3/9/26 4:10 PM

The Falcons released Mooney on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The move has been expected, though earlier reports suggested it might not happen for a few more days. Mooney figures to draw interest from teams that miss out on the top free agents at wide receiver.

David Edwards
NO (11)
Mon 3/9/26 4:09 PM

Edwards is signing a four-year, $61 million contract with the Saints on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The former starting left guard for the Bills will likely occupy the same spot in New Orleans after agreeing to a hefty contract with the Saints, which can be finalized Wednesday at the start of the new league year. Edwards has 77 regular-season NFL starts under his belt, split between the Rams and Bills.

Robert Rochell
CB CAR (14)
Mon 3/9/26 4:01 PM

Rochell re-signed with Carolina on a one-year contract Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rochell hasn't totaled more than 10 tackles in a season since his rookie year with the Rams in 2021, but he's solidified himself as a solid contributor on special teams. He contributed in such a role across four regular-season appearances with Carolina in 2025, in addition to two games with the Cowboys.

John Simpson
BAL (7)
Mon 3/9/26 3:57 PM

Simpson agreed to a three-year, $30 million contract with the Ravens on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to spending the last two seasons with the Jets, Simpson played for the Ravens in 2023. He has started all 17 regular-season games in each of those last three campaigns and can be penciled in as Baltimore's starting left guard once Simpson's contract becomes official at the start of the new league year Wednesday.

Ed Ingram
HOU (6)
Mon 3/9/26 3:55 PM

Ingram re-signed with Houston on a three-year, $37.5 million contract Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ingram had been slated to hit free agency, but the veteran guard will instead stick with the Texans on a new multi-year deal. The 27-year-old will provide Houston's O-line with some form of stability after the team traded away both Tytus Howard and Juice Scruggs earlier in March. The Texans initially acquired Ingram via a trade with Minnesota during the 2025 offseason.

Marcus Mariota
QB WAS (12)
Mon 3/9/26 3:50 PM

Mariota is re-signing with the Commanders, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old QB is signing a one-year contract with Washington for the third consecutive offseason. He was one of the league's better backup quarterbacks the past couple of years, and there should be a degree of continuity with internal promotion David Blough replacing Kliff Kingsbury as the offensive coordinator.

Alontae Taylor
CB TEN (10)
Mon 3/9/26 3:47 PM

Taylor agreed to a three-year, $60 million contract with the Titans on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor's contract, which can be officially signed at the start of the new league year Wednesday, includes $42 million in guaranteed money. He's expected to be a key piece in Tennessee's secondary after notching 52 interceptions in 64 regular-season games with the Saints across his first four NFL seasons.
