NFL Football 3d Briefing
×Last updated: March 23, 2026, 1:30 AM ET
Offseason Roster Moves & Contract Status
The Seahawks exercised fifth-year options on both star cornerback Devon Witherspoon and wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, securing their services through the 2025 season as the team solidifies its young core defensively and offensively. In the trade market, the Falcons secured safety Sydney Brown from the Eagles, a deal structured to include an exchange of both fourth- and sixth-round draft selections between the two NFC clubs. Meanwhile, the 49ers elected not to pick up the option bonus for veteran offensive tackle Trent Williams, though sources indicate ongoing negotiations aim to finalize a new long-term agreement rather than risk losing him.
AFC & NFC Team Building
Tennessee quarterback Cam Ward immediately demonstrated chemistry with the receiving corps by crashing Wan'Dale Robinson's introductory press conference to offer public backing for the new wide receiver acquisition. On the offensive line front, the Vikings bolstered their depth by signing free agent tackle Ryan Van Demark to a one-year contract after the Buffalo Bills chose not to match the offer sheet. These moves reflect continued efforts across the league to improve positional depth ahead of the upcoming draft period.
Off-Field Incidents & League Events
As the league prepares for the draft, Pittsburgh Public Schools announced remote learning schedules for April 22-24 to accommodate the city's hosting duties for the NFL event. In player conduct news, Giants running back Cam Skattebo issued an apology Saturday after making what he termed a "tasteless joke" regarding CTE and asthma during a recent podcast appearance. Separately, off the field displays of character emerged when Teesa Mpagi, fiancée of Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Jr., provided immediate aid to a pedestrian struck by a vehicle near the team bus heading to the Fanatics Flag Football Classic.
Flag Football Showcase
The recent Fanatics Flag Football Classic saw former quarterback Tom Brady perform strongly early on before Team USA ultimately secured a dominant victory in the exhibition event held Saturday. This event provided an entertaining, low-contact showcase as the league continues to promote the non-tackle version of the sport internationally.
