ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the deal includes $34.7 million guaranteed. It’s vaguely surprising after the Seahawks struggled to unlock Shaheed on offense following his mid-season trade acquisition, but he remained a lethal weapon on special teams and there is frankly almost no way he struggles as much as a pass catcher again. Shaheed’s field-stretching perfectly complements Jaxon Smith-Njigiba’s all-around game, and JSN’s dominance means there will be ways to free up Shaheed 1-on-1. We suppose he is on the outside looking in of WR3 status for the time being, but Shaheed’s second year in Seattle could go much better than the first in fantasy.

Dean gets $20 million in guaranteed money. The oft-injured linebacker has performed well when on the field for the Eagles after being selected in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft but has missed 21 games over the previous three seasons. He’ll get a fresh start with the Raiders, a team that has gone out of their way to revitalize their defense in the first six hours of legal tampering ahead of the 2026 season. Dean is borderline elite against the run but has largely struggled in coverage throughout his career.

Walker’s deal includes $28 million guaranteed, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Walker spent the past four seasons starting 57-of-58 games for the Packers after being selected in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Green Bay declined his fifth-year option and could not get a new contract together; Walker now heads to a Raiders team with the exorbitant amount of money needed to sign as many free agents as possible. The 25-year-old has nine career sacks and 469 combined tackles under his belt. He ranks middle-of-the-pack in coverage and as a run defender throughout his career, though PFF graded him outside the top-60 linebackers in both run defense and coverage grades for 2025. Walker has the opportunity to be a plug-and-play starter in the middle of the Raiders defense moving forward.

In his lone season with the Bengals, Fant posted career-lows in targets (41), receptions (34), and receiving yards (288) while playing behind Mike Gesicki. The 28-year-old tight end will now join the Saints in what will presumably be a TE2 role with Juwan Johnson still under contract through the 2027 season. Fant is a good enough athlete to create yards after the catch, but most of his plays come in the short areas of the field. He’ll make for a decent depth signing for the Saints but we wouldn’t expect a career resurgence at this point.

Dulcich managed 335 receiving yards as a fill-in whenever Darren Waller couldn’t go — which is pretty often these days. Waller is a free agent and Julian Hill is a restricted free agent. Somehow, on a team that spent the little cap space it had on Malik Willis, Dulcich might wind up with a big role in 2026. He’d be hard to trust as a TE1, but someone has to contribute on offense here besides De’Von Achane and Jaylen Waddle. Duclich could see a bigger role in 2026 should he survive the next 72 hours of free agency without any major additions to the room.

The move clears $6 million in cap space. The 28-year-old is getting cut one season into a “three-year” deal. As was the case his final few campaigns in San Francisco, Greenlaw suffered through an injury-marred year in Denver, making just eight appearances. Greenlaw still made a play-making impact when on the field. It just wasn’t often enough for Sean Payton and company. Provided he can pass a physical right now, Greenlaw should still land guaranteed money for 2026.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the deal has a max value of $15 million. 36-year-old Kelce has been declining for several years now, but he was still fourth in tight end yardage (851) last season. He was a more distant 21st in TE yards per route run at 1.47. Kelce appeared particularly dead-legged at the end of the Chiefs’ trying season. He is best utilized as a third down/red zone package player at this point, something coach Andy Reid undoubtedly already knows. Kelce will keep hanging around the TE1 ranks in fantasy, but probably more in the TE8-12 range than TE5-8.

Eluemunor’s market did not generate quite as he hoped it would, and in the end he settles for the low end of Dan Duggan’s $13-18MM projection. It’s a good keep for the Giants, as Eluemunor has provided steady-if-not-spectacular line play over his two-year contract with them. Entering his age-32 season, the Giants will likely start trying to find succession plans in the next year or so.

A former undrafted free agent who joined the Falcons in 2022, Alford has started 23 of the 64 games he has played in for his career and registered a career-high three interceptions and 13 pass breakups last season. Alford has played almost exclusively as a slot corner since entering the league, and will replace Taron Johnson, who they recently traded to the Raiders in exchange for a late draft pick. His new deal includes $10.12 million in guaranteed money.

Uncle Rico lands on his feet in Arizona with a chance to compete for the starting quarterback job with incumbent Jacoby Brissett during camp and preseason. The $8.25 million contract is far from “starter money,” but is still more than the average annual value of Brissett, making it likely the franchise is headed for a positional battle this offseason in the wake of Kyler Murray’s departure. At bare minimum, Minshew has proven to be a capable backup at the NFL level, having notched 47 starts across 63 appearances during his seven-year NFL career.
