Jaleel McLaughlin
RB DEN (12)
Fri 2/27/26 1:56 PM

The Broncos don't plan to offer McLaughlin a contract tender, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As a result, the pending restricted free agent will be eligible to hit the open market, though Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post indicates that the Broncos are thought to be open to bringing the RB back. In eight regular-season contests with Denver in 2025, the 25-year-old carried 37 times (down from his career high 113 mark in 2024) for 187 yards and a TD, while adding four catches for 27 yards.

Zayne Anderson

Fri 2/27/26 1:14 PM

The Packers don't plan to offer a contract tender to Anderson (ankle), Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson, who had been a pending restricted free agent, is thus slated have an opportunity to catch on elsewhere this offseason. The 29-year-old reserve safety logged 15 tackles in 14 regular-season games with Green Bay in 2025, while making most of his mark on special teams.

George Pickens
WR DAL (10)
Fri 2/27/26 11:06 AM

The Cowboys officially placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Pickens on Friday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction is confirmed by Patrik Walker of the team's official site. The non-exclusive franchise tag will allow Pickens to negotiate with other teams beginning with the start of the legal tampering period March 9, but it will also allow Dallas the right to match any offer extended to the breakout wide receiver. As with any franchise tag option, both sides will still have until mid-July to negotiate a potential multi-year deal, and Cowboys ownership has continually expressed a desire to keep Pickens around long-term. If no long-term extension is finalized, Pickens will be slated to play out the 2026 campaign on a fully guaranteed one-year, $28.8 million contract, per K.D. Drummond of USA Today.

Will Clapp

Fri 2/27/26 12:10 AM

Clapp (foot) announced his retirement from the NFL on his Instagram account Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Clapp was a versatile offensive lineman throughout his eight-year career, most of which he spent with the Saints. He wasn't able to suit up in 2025 due to a foot injury that sent him to injured reserve before the season began. Overall, Clapp made 22 starts and 66 appearances through his playing career, and Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football suggests that he could stick with the Saints as an assistant coach or other member of the coaching staff.

Tyler Biadasz
LAC (12)
Thu 2/26/26 7:04 PM2 Comments

The Commanders are slated to release Biadasz, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Biadasz, who entered the NFL as a fourth-round pick by Dallas in 2020, spend the last two seasons with the Commanders. In that span, the 28-year-old center started all 31 regular-season games that he played in.

T.J. Bass
DAL (10)
Thu 2/26/26 5:26 PM

The Cowboys are planning to use a second-round tender on Bass (knee), Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Fowler, the second-round tender for Bass would amount to $5.8 million. The pending restricted free agent guard -- who is bouncing back from a knee issue that landed him on IR on Jan. 3 -- has 10 career starts to his credit through 48 regular-season games with the Cowboys over the past three seasons.

QAnthony Richardson
QB IND (11)
Thu 2/26/26 12:35 PM2 Comments

Richardson (eye) has requested and received permission from the Colts to seek a trade, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson, the fourth overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, has played a total of just 17 regular-season games across his tenure with Indianapolis, with injuries playing a significant role in the extent of his missed time. Last summer, the 2023 first-rounder lost his starting job to quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles), who suffered a season-ending injury midway through the 2025 campaign and was then replaced under center by free agent veteran Philip Rivers, with Richardson having been placed on IR due to a fractured orbital bone of his right eye suffered Oct. 12. While Richardson had his 21-day practice window opened down the stretch, he was not cleared to retake the field in time for the Colts' season finale. Richardson -- who Boyd relays has regained full vision in the affected eye -- has one year remaining on his rookie deal and at this stage, his best-case scenario could be to find a fresh start elsewhere in the league with a chance to compete for a starting gig in 2026.

T'Vondre Sweat
IL/DT NYJ (9)
Thu 2/26/26 10:12 AM

The Titans agreed to terms Thursday on a trade that will send Sweat to the Jets in exchange for Jermaine Johnson, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sweat and Johnson are both ascending talents on the defensive line whose talents will better suit the schemes of their new teams, especially with New York having traded former defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to the Cowboys midway through the 2025 campaign. A 2024 second-round pick, Sweat was productive across his 12 regular-season appearances with Tennessee in his second pro campaign, recording 34 tackles (16 solo), including 2.0 sacks, plus one pass defensed. He also tallied 18 quarterback pressures. He will pair with Harrison Phillips to anchor New York's interior defensive line in 2026.

Jermaine Johnson
EDR/DE TEN (10)
Thu 2/26/26 10:07 AM

The Jets have agreed to trade Johnson to the Titans in exchange for defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson, a 2022 first-round pick, will reunite with new Tennessee head coach Robert Saleh. The talented pass rusher had a down year in terms of production in 2025, racking up 43 tackles (22 solo) including just 3.0 sacks across 14 regular-season appearances, but that can be partially explained by the fact that Johnson was working his way back from a right Achilles' tear suffered the year prior. He also had two pass breakups. Back in 2023, Johnson tallied 7.5 sacks while playing all 17 regular-season games. As the Jets have already exercised Johnson's fifth-year option, he will play out the 2026 campaign with the Titans on the final year of his rookie deal. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the trade will officially process at the start of the new league year March 11.

Xavier Woods
S FA
Wed 2/25/26 5:48 PM

The Titans released Woods (hamstring) on Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Unlike center Lloyd Cushenberry, who was let go by Tennessee with a failed physical designation, Woods' release wasn't accompanied by such a qualification, which implies he's past the hamstring issue that ended his 2025 campaign in December. Prior to that, the 30-year-old safety recorded 39 tackles in 11 games during his lone campaign with the Titans.
