Gary remains with the Packers on Friday, but all options remain on the table regarding his future in Green Bay, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gary posted and then deleted a farewell message earlier Friday, but it appears it was premature. It sounds like the Packers could be trying to trade the edge rusher before outright releasing him. However it shakes out, the toothpaste is already out of the tube, and it sounds like Gary's time in Green Bay could be coming to a close in the near future. Gary has two years remaining on a four-year, $96 million extension and carries a massive $28 million cap number for the 2026 season. Gary has posted back-to-back 7.5-sack seasons since signing the extension.

Decker was released by the Lions on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Decker, a 2016 first-round pick from Ohio State, spent the first 10 years of his NFL career with the Lions. However, it now appears the team has decided to move in another direction. The veteran offensive lineman was due $18.2 million in 2026, and after conversations about a contract restructure broke down, he requested his release. Decker has started all 140 regular-season games he's appeared in, including 14 in each of the last two seasons. Even at 32 years of age, he's expected to be a coveted option for teams in need of offensive tackle help ahead of next season.

Gary doesn't expect to remain with the Packers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 2019 first-round pick from Michigan has spent all seven years of his NFL career with the Packers, but it appears as though the edge rusher's time with the team could be coming to a close, with all options on the table, per Pelissero. Since entering the league, Gary has notched 46.5 sacks, highlighted by 9.5- and 9.0-sack campaigns in 2021 and 2023, respectively. However, he struggled down the stretch for the Packers last season, failing to record a single sack over the team's final 11 games (including playoffs).

Pitre had $9 million of his salary converted into a signing bonus by the Texans on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

The restructuring of Pitre's contract adds two void years and creates additional cap space for the Texans ahead of the 2026 season. Pitre is one of Houston's most impactful defenders, recording 74 total tackles and 12 passes defensed, including four interceptions, across just 14 regular-season games while operating as the team's top nickel cornerback last year. The Baylor product is expected to remain a key piece on the Texans' defense, starting alongside Derek Stingley and Kamari Lassiter.

Ingold is expected to be released by the Dolphins on Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Wisconsin product was set to enter the final season of a three-year, $12.2 million deal signed with the Dolphins in 2023, but he's since been let go. Ingold has spent time with the Raiders and Dolphins throughout his seven-year NFL career and earned a Pro Bowl selection following his 2023 season in Miami. Once the 29-year-old's release becomes official, he's expected to draw interest from teams in need of blocking and special-teams help ahead of next season.

DeVito signed a two-year, $7.4 million deal with the Patriots on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Only $2 million of DeVito's new contract is guaranteed, but he's now set to remain in New England after spending his 2025 campaign as the team's emergency third quarterback. The Illinois product appeared in 12 regular-season games with the Giants from 2023 to 2024, completing 145 of his 222 pass attempts for 1,358 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions. With Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs both under contract for the 2026 season, DeVito is expected to remain the Patriots' No. 3 QB.

The Bills are in line to release Samuel, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Samuel was limited to seven catches in six 2025 regular-season games during his second campaign with the Bills. Now that Buffalo is moving on from Samuel -- who topped the 60-catch mark as recently as 2023 with the Commanders -- the 29-year-old will look to catch on elsewhere as a depth WR/return option.

Stewart (quadriceps) plans on signing a one-year deal to remain in Houston, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stewart missed Houston's final eight regular-season games in 2025 due to a quadriceps injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The veteran safety from North Carolina has appeared in 24 regular-season games over the past two seasons, tallying 37 total tackles, two passes defensed and one forced fumble while contributing both on defense (316 snaps) and special teams (447 snaps). If the 30-year-old signs a one-year deal with Houston as expected, he'll likely maintain a similar role during the 2026 season.

Curl signed a three-year, $36 million deal with the Rams on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

After beginning his career in Washington, Curl has spent each of the last two seasons with the Rams and proved to be an integral part of the team's secondary. Across 33 regular-season appearances in that span, the Arkansas product tallied 201 total tackles (most on the team), including 3.0 sacks, 14 passes defensed, including two interceptions, and three forced fumbles. Following his new deal, Curl is expected to continue making plays in a Rams secondary that just added All-Pro Trent McDuffie via trade on Mar. 4.

The Bills are slated to release Johnson, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson, who the Bills took in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, is coming off a 2025 season in which he recorded 57 tackles in 13 regular-season games (including eight starts). The 29-year-old slot cornerback should have little problem catching on elsewhere in free agency.
