Cameron Jordan will hit the open market when free agency begins next week, potentially shaking up the defensive end market. The Texans secured offensive tackle Trent Brown with a one-year extension worth up to $7 million, adding stability to their offensive line.
Contract Decisions
Jonathan Allen is expected to be released by the Vikings as they work to reduce their salary cap deficit. The Steelers are parting ways with veteran tight end Jonnu Smith, who joined Pittsburgh via trade last summer.
Player Updates
Browns star Myles Garrett received his ninth speeding ticket since entering the NFL in 2017 after being clocked at 94 mph in a 70 mph zone. Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers remains undecided on his playing status for next season despite the Steelers hiring Mike McCarthy.
Trade Speculation
The Bears could use savings from a potential DJ Moore trade to pursue offensive line help, possibly targeting prospects like Tyler Linderbaum. The Commanders are expected to be aggressive in free agency, particularly at edge rusher, receiver and cornerback positions to support quarterback Jayden Daniels.
Team Strategies
The Chiefs made a surprising move by trading Trent McDuffie, though history suggests they could still contend for championships. The Buccaneers are hoping to bring back linebacker Lavonte David while evaluating their wide receiver options for the future.
Roster Changes
The Patriots will release Stefon Diggs after one season, saving cap space but leaving their wide receiver position in question as they head into free agency.
