Gaines posted 23 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, across 17 regular-season games in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

Gaines played the 2025 season on a one-year, $3.5 million contract, his third campaign overall in Tampa Bay. The veteran remained in his customary rotational role, seeing action on 369 defensive snaps and recording multiple sacks for the first time since his final Rams season in 2022. Gaines has proven a solid fit for head coach Todd Bowles' defensive scheme, so a return to the Buccaneers on another modest one-year deal would seemingly be very much within the realm of possibility.

Reddick recorded 31 tackles (18 solo), including 2.5 sacks, one defensed pass and one forced fumble across 13 regular-season games in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

Reddick arrived in Tampa Bay last offseason on a one-year, $14 million deal with hopes of putting a mostly forgettable 2024 campaign with the Jets behind them. However, the veteran pass rusher ultimately put together a second consecutive lackluster campaign, and he missed four games due to knee and ankle injuries. Set to turn 32 early in the 2026 season, it remains to be seen whether Reddick will be welcomed back to the Buccaneers at a reduced salary, or whether another team will be convinced it can coax more double-digit sack seasons out of the 2017 first-round pick.

Hall recorded 39 tackles (18 solo), including 1.5 sacks, one defensed pass and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

The four-year veteran played a career-high 609 snaps from scrimmage, leading to a new high-water mark in tackles. Hall played on at least 51.0 percent of the defensive snaps in 14 of 17 games while operating as the starting right defensive end, but he disappointingly regressed in terms of getting to the quarterback after posting a career-best 5.5 sacks in 2024. Nevertheless, Hall has proven a durable rotational player -- he's missed just two regular-season games over his first four seasons -- so he could attract some interest on the open market from teams looking to fortify the depth of their defensive front.

Dean (shoulder) recorded 46 tackles (38 solo), including 1.0 sacks, nine defensed passes, including three interceptions (one pick-six), and two forced fumbles across 14 regular-season games in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

Dean put together a career-high INT total in his contract year, holding down the starting job at left cornerback whenever he was healthy. The veteran defensive back has always had a good knack for getting his hands on the ball, and the fact he's still only 29 years old and plays a key position should garner plenty of interest on the open market if he and the Buccaneers don't come to an agreement for him to remain in Tampa Bay.

The Browns released Osborne (undisclosed) on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Osborne spent the entire 2025 campaign on Cleveland's injured reserve but is seemingly healthy again. The 25-year-old will look to find another opportunity with a new team and make his NFL debut during the 2026 season.

The Browns released Lucas on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lucas appeared in 10 games for Cleveland in 2025 and made five starts at tackle. The 34-year-old was just one season into a three-year deal and will now look to catch on with another team for the 2026 campaign.

The Giants are slated to release Okereke, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Stapleton, as a result of the looming move the Giants will clear $9 million in salary cap space, with $5.4 million left over in dead money. The inside linebacker, who turns 30 in July, is coming off a 2025 regular season in which he recorded a team-high 143 tackles and two picks in 17 games.

The Steelers released Anderson (shoulder) on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson spent the past two seasons in Pittsburgh, appearing in 13 regular-season games without making any starts. The 29-year-old has seemingly recovered from the shoulder injury that landed him on the team's injured reserve last December.

Folk announced he intends to play in the 2026 season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Folk will return for another NFL season after converting 28 of his 29 field-goal attempts and all 22 of his extra-point tries across 16 games with the Jets during the 2025 campaign. The 41-year-old is set to become a free agent once the new league year begins and will likely be one of the top options at kicker.

The Vikings are open to trading Greenard (shoulder), Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Greenard could be a cap casualty with Minnesota currently dealing with salary-cap issues. The 28-year-old racked up 24.5 sacks across the 2023 and 2024 seasons but had a down season in 2025, recording just 38 tackles (19 solo), including 3.0 sacks, across 12 games.
