Shemar Jean-Charles
CB SEA (8)
Jean-Charles agreed to a one-year contract with the Seahawks on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jean-Charles was on Seattle's practice squad throughout last season and didn't get into any NFL games. He'll be able to compete for a roster spot during training camp.
Mike Caliendo KC (10) Sat 3/14/26 11:24 PM
Mike Caliendo
KC (10)
The Chiefs are signing Caliendo to a one-year contract, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Caliendo has played his first three seasons with the Chiefs and will return for at least one more. He made four starts among his 17 games last year and should serve as offensive line depth again in 2026.
Trey Lance QB LAC (12) Sat 3/14/26 10:54 PM
Trey Lance
QB LAC (12)
The Chargers signed Lance to a one-year contract worth up to $6.75 million Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lance is returning for a second campaign in Los Angeles following stints with San Francisco and Dallas. As Justin Herbert's backup last season, Lance saw action in four games (including a Week 18 start versus Denver), completing 27 of 57 pass attempts for 226 yards and a 0:1 TD:INT while adding 17 carries for 85 yards. The mobile quarterback should be the frontrunner to back up Herbert.
Josh Johnson QB CIN (10) Sat 3/14/26 10:49 PM
Josh Johnson
QB CIN (10)
The Bengals signed Johnson to a contract Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson will turn 40 in mid-May, but he's not yet ready to hang up his cleats. This will be his third stint with the Bengals, who are one of 14 teams he's spent time with during his NFL career. Johnson should have a path to working as the backup to QB Joe Burrow, as Sean Clifford is the only other QB currently signed to Cincinnati's roster following the departure of Jake Browning to Tampa Bay.
Kene Nwangwu RB NYJ (9) Sat 3/14/26 10:37 PM
Kene Nwangwu
RB NYJ (9)
The Jets are signing Nwangwu to a one-year, $2 million contract worth up to $3 million with incentives, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nwangwu had a small role in New York's offense as a depth RB last year, recording 49 yards on 13 carries in 12 games. However, he was a key player on special teams, logging 604 yards and one touchdown on 18 kickoff returns. Nwangwu has recorded five TDs as a kick returner through his first five campaigns in the league, and that should again be his primary role in 2026.
Noah Igbinoghene CB SEA (8) Sat 3/14/26 8:21 PM
Noah Igbinoghene
CB SEA (8)
The Seahawks signed Igbinoghene to a one-year contract Saturday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Igbinoghene is a six-year NFL veteran who has spent time with Miami, Dallas and Washington. Last season with the Commanders, he played in 15 regular-season games (two starts), registering 35 tackles (including 1.0 sacks) and five defensed passes. Igbinoghene also logged some work as a kick returner, taking seven kickoffs for 191 yards (27.3 YPR). He'll likely work in a rotational role at cornerback and serve as a depth option in the return game with Seattle.
Nick Scott S CAR (14) Sat 3/14/26 7:42 PM
Nick Scott
S CAR (14)
Scott is set to sign a one-year contract with the Panthers, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scott started all 17 regular-season games for Carolina last year, recording a career-best 111 tackles along with three defensed passes (including an interception). He also played every defensive snap during the team's wild-card loss to the Rams and racked up nine stops. Scott should reprise his starting role at safety alongside Tre'von Moehrig in 2026.
Mo Alie-Cox TE IND (11) Sat 3/14/26 7:25 PM
Mo Alie-Cox
TE IND (11)
Alie-Cox is re-signing with the Colts on a one-year contract, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
EDGE Analysis
Alie-Cox has spent the first eight campaigns of his career in Indianapolis and hasn't missed a regular-season game since 2020. While he hasn't topped 189 regular-season receiving yards since 2021, the veteran tight end has been useful in the red zone, with 12 of his 81 catches going for touchdowns over the past five campaigns. Tyler Warren is firmly established as Indianapolis' long-term starter at the position, but Alie-Cox's return gives the Colts veteran leadership and elite run blocking at tight end.
Zaire Barnes LB NYG (14) Sat 3/14/26 6:18 PM
Zaire Barnes
LB NYG (14)
The Giants re-signed Barnes on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Barnes was a sixth-round draft pick of the Jets in 2023 but didn't play any defensive snaps for the team. He linked up with the Giants last year and saw action in 11 games, logging 93 defensive snaps and 168 special-teams snaps while notching 29 tackles (including 1.0 sacks). Most of Barnes' work on defense last year came in Weeks 12 and 13, and he even made a start against New England in that Week 13 game. He'll likely be competing for a depth linebacker role in 2026.
Darnell Mooney WR NYG (14) Sat 3/14/26 5:55 PM
Darnell Mooney
WR NYG (14)
Mooney is slated to sign a one-year, $10 million contract with the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mooney entered free agency after he was released by the Falcons on Monday, and it didn't take him long to find a new home with the Giants. He entered the 2025 season with high expectations following a productive 2024 campaign with the Falcons, when he caught 64 passes (on 106 targets) for 992 yards and five touchdowns across 16 regular-season games. Mooney failed to catch more than four passes in each of his 15 regular-season games in 2025 and finished with a 32-443-1 receiving line (on 72 targets). He figures to slide in as the Giants' WR3 behind Malik Nabers (knee) and Darius Slayton for the upcoming season.
