NFL Football 3d Briefing
×Last updated: March 22, 2026, 2:30 PM ET
Team & Roster Moves
The Seahawks secured future flexibility by exercising the fifth-year options on both star cornerback Devon Witherspoon and wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, locking in their 2025 salaries as they build around their young core. In a trade between NFC South and East rivals, the Falcons acquired safety Sydney Brown from the Eagles, a move that also involved an exchange of fourth- and sixth-round draft picks this April. Meanwhile, the Vikings bolstered their offensive line depth by signing tackle Ryan Van Demark to a one-year contract after the Bills declined to match the tender offer.
Contract & Ownership Developments
The 49ers are negotiating a new contract with veteran offensive tackle Trent Williams, as the team opted against exercising his current option bonus while maintaining an active dialogue to secure his long-term commitment. Separately, NFL owners are set to vote on a critical succession plan for the Raiders, which would grant Silver Lake co-chief executive Egon Durban the right to acquire a majority stake from long-time owner Mark Davis. These administrative actions contrast with the immediate roster decisions being made across the league as teams finalize their depth charts ahead of the draft.
Offseason Conduct & League Logistics
As the league prepares for the upcoming draft in Pittsburgh, the city's public schools announced remote learning from April 22-24 to manage the influx of visitors and coordinate city logistics surrounding the event. On the disciplinary front, Giants running back Cam Skattebo issued an apology Saturday for what he termed a "tasteless joke" regarding CTE and asthma during a recent podcast appearance. Furthermore, preliminary league plans for handling potential labor disputes this season include a command center for replacement officials that centralizes game administration responsibilities, including penalty calls, directly with the league office.
Off-Field Player Activities & Tributes
Beyond personnel news, Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Jr.'s fiancée demonstrated immediate community concern, rushing to assist a pedestrian struck by a vehicle just as the group was departing for the Fanatics Flag Football Classic on Saturday. That same event showcased the star power of the retired ranks, as Tom Brady led Team USA to a decisive victory in the flag football exhibition, demonstrating his continued competitive edge. In Tennessee, new Titans quarterback Cam Ward showed early signs of chemistry building with his new teammates by crashing Wan'Dale Robinson’s introductory press conference to offer vocal support for the wide receiver acquisition.
