Speaking at the NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday, new Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan said everything is on the table with Fitzpatrick (calf), and Miami is listening to trade offers for the safety, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick has one year remaining on his contract and carries a bloated base salary of $15.6 million to go with an $18.849 million cap number. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense for a rebuilding Dolphins team. The 29-year-old safety started all 14 regular-season games in which he appeared last season, recording 82 tackles (59 solo), including first first career sack, six pass breakups, including just one interception, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble. After making three consecutive Pro Bowls from 2022-24 with the Steelers, it was a down season for Fitzpatrick.

WR IND (11)
Speaking at the NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday, Colts GM Chris Ballard said he's hopeful the team can re-sign Pierce before he becomes a free agent next month, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
"We've had great discussions about both of them," Ballard said of Pierce and fellow impending free agent Daniel Jones (Achilles). "We'll continue to work this week and see if we can get something done. It's been very positive. When both sides are driven to get it done, it usually works out in the right way." Pierce had a career year during the 2025 campaign, posting career highs in targets (84), catches (47) and receiving yards (1,003), while producing six touchdowns. He's led the entire NFL in yards per reception in back-to-back years as one of the game's top downfield weapons. Pierce is one of the top free agents set to hit the market in March if the Colts are unable to hammer out a deal.
Kyler Murray QB MIN (6) Tue 2/24/26 6:13 PM
Kyler Murray
QB MIN (6)
On Tuesday, GM Monti Ossenfort said that "all options are on the table" regarding Murray and the Cardinals' future at quarterback, Jayna Bardahl of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Ossenfort, "as it pertains to that position -- as it pertains to every position on our team -- we're going to look at every avenue to improve, and we're going to continue to go through our process with that." For now, the Cardinals have Murray, Jacoby Brissett and Kedon Slovis under contract, but at this stage, the status of Murray -- who played in just five games last season after suffering a foot injury in Week 5 -- remains unclear. Important context on the front is due to arrive in mid-March, given that if Murray is on Arizona's active roster on the fifth day of the upcoming league year, he'd be due a guaranteed roster bonus for 2027 of $19.5 million, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.
C.J. Stroud QB HOU (6) Tue 2/24/26 5:08 PM
C.J. Stroud
QB HOU (6)
The Texans have no plans to trade Stroud, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Bien-Aime, the QB's name surfaced online in trade speculation in the wake of a playoff run that included seven turnovers. However, GM Nick Caserio firmly denied such a possibility Tuesday, while noting of Stroud, "we are not trading the guy. He's our quarterback. He's going to be playing quarterback for the Houston Texans in 2026." Stroud, who was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, is coming off a 2025 regular season in which he threw for 3,041 yards, with 19 TDs and eight interceptions in 14 games. Looking ahead, WR Christian Kirk is the team's most notable pass catcher in line to become a free agent next month, but otherwise Houston's top wideouts and tight ends are on track to be available options for Stroud this coming season.

Kyle Pitts
TE ATL (5)
The Falcons officially placed their franchise tag on Pitts on Tuesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The expected move prevents Pitts from reaching the open market in free agency, while he and the Falcons have until July 15 to negotiate a potential multi-year extension. Per McElhaney, the projected franchise tag value for tight ends in 2026 will be approximately $16 million. The 2021 first-rounder is coming off a 2025 regular season in which he recorded 88 catches for 928 yards and five touchdowns (on 118 targets) in 17 games.

QJoe Mixon
RB FA
According to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle, the signs point to a potential break between Mixon (who is recovering from a foot injury that sidelined him this past season) and the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
That's a notion echoed by Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, who indicates that the Texans are expected to ultimately part ways with the running back -- who reportedly recently underwent surgery to address his foot issue -- via a failed physical. For his part, GM Nick Caserio describes Mixon's status with the team as "a moving target," while adding "we'll kind of see what the availability is going to be, what the prognosis is for the season and then ultimately try to figure out what makes sense for everybody involved." Per Wilson, releasing Mixon from his contract would save the Texans $8.5 million.
QWill Campbell NE (14) Tue 2/24/26 3:48 PM
QWill Campbell
NE (14)
Campbell isn't expected to require offseason surgery to address the knee injury that hampered him during the postseason, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Campbell suffered a torn right MCL on Nov. 23, and though the rookie left tackle returned to action in Week 18, he notably struggled during the Patriots' Super Bowl LIX loss to the Seahawks. Patriots executive Vice President of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf noted Tuesday of Campbell, "when he came back from that injury, I personally didn't see the same level of lower body strength that you saw before the injury. I think the film would attest to that. He probably had three of his four worst games in the playoffs. Before that, I thought Will played really well all year." Following the conclusion of New England's postseason run, head coach Mike Vrabel indicated that the Patriots plan to stick with Campbell -- the No 4 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft -- at left tackle, rather than consider shifting the 6-foot-6, 319-pound LSU product to guard.
QMaxx Crosby EDR/LB LV (8) Tue 2/24/26 2:41 PM
QMaxx Crosby
EDR/LB LV (8)
GM John Spytek said Tuesday that he expects Crosby (knee) to play for the Raiders in 2026, Ryan McFadden of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crosby, who continues to rehab from a knee procedure, has been the subject of trade speculation of late, but at this stage Spytek -- who indicates that he's had great conversations this offseason with Crosby -- believes that the star defensive end will remain with the Raiders, which aligns with new head coach Klint Kubiak's desire for Crosby to remain a franchise pillar. On that subject, Spytek said Tuesday, "Maxx is an elite player, and I've been very upfront from the start when I got here that we're in the business of having really good players on the team, and we need a lot more of them." That said, Spytek fell short of saying that the 28-year-old is untradeable, acknowledging that in general the team is always open listening to trade offers. "I learned a long time ago, always listen," Spytek noted. "I'm always listening."
QBreece Hall RB NYJ (9) Tue 2/24/26 1:43 PM
QBreece Hall
RB NYJ (9)
Jets general manager Darren Moughey said Tuesday at the NFL Scouting Combine that the team intends to place the franchise or transition tag on Hall (knee) if he isn't signed to an extension before the start of free agency, James Palmer of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hall will be slated to play out the 2026 season on a one-year, fully guaranteed deal worth roughly $14.5 if he receives the franchise tag, while the transition tag would be worth an estimated $11.7 million and allow the running back to negotiate with other teams, though New York would retain the right to match any offer sheet he receives. Across 16 regular-season appearances in 2025, and despite numerous hurdles caused by the Jets' struggles on offense, Hall managed to log the first 1,000-yard rushing campaign of his career, totaling 243 carries for 1,065 yards and four scores, plus a 36-350-1 receiving line (48 targets). While Hall's fantasy prospects could stand to improve were he to hit the open market, it appears the Jets will prioritize retaining the 2022 second-round pick. Though Hall missed Week 18 due to a knee injury, there have been no reports that his availability is in any jeopardy for the start of training camp.

QQuinshon Judkins
RB CLE (9)
Browns general manager Andrew Berry said Tuesday at the NFL Scouting Combine that Judkins (ankle) has shed his walking boot and is on track for the start of training camp, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judkins underwent successful surgery to address a dislocated right ankle late December, and he's on track to enter the 2026 regular season at full health. As a rookie, the 2025 second-round pick logged 14 regular-season appearances, rushing 230 times for 827 yards and seven touchdowns (3.6 YPC) while securing 26 of 36 targets for 171 receiving yards. He appears set to lead Cleveland's backfield in 2026, while 2025 fourth-round pick Dylan Sampson could be the favorite for change-of-pace snaps and the No. 2 role, as Jerome Ford is slated to become an unrestricted free agent.
