Tennessee also locked up seventh-rounders LB Josh Carraway, OT Brad Seaton, and RB Khalfani Muhammad to four-year deals. Levin was a standout at Chattanooga, but he could struggle with the big jump in competition to the NFL.

Homer contributes primarily to special teams but has flashed in limited rushing opportunities in previous seasons, making the signing a solid depth move that carries little risk financially. The backfield currently appears to have D’Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson forming a 1A-1B situation in Ben Johnson’s offense. Homer is not likely to find NFL carries next season without injuries in front of him.

After coming into the league with the Eagles, Stoll was a member of the Dolphins’ practice squad during the 2024 season but did not appear in a game. He’ll likely compete for a depth role behind Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau, and (possibly?) Taysom Hill in New Orleans.

The top two receiver spots in Chicago are locked down by DJ Moore and Rome Odunze but the team now has a relative vacancy in the slot following the departure of Keenan Allen. They seemingly addressed the need earlier in free agency with the signing of Olamide Zaccheaus but evidently still feel the need to add cheap depth. Hardman has not been fantasy relevant in years but there are worse teams to land on considering the recent hiring of the offensive-minded head coach Ben Johnson.

The veteran offensive guard appeared in 11 games for the Saints in 2024 after playing for the Bears and Packers the previous seven seasons. Patrick will turn 32 in the coming season and has struggled while starting over the past few seasons, the best he could hope for is winning a competition on the interior in Seattle.

Johnson played for the Vikings, Texans, Falcons, and Titans, amassing 149 combined tackles and 7.5 sacks across 86 appearances, 25 of which were starts. He last played in 2023.

Of course he did: It’s the rare restructure that’s a raise. The five-time All-Pro tackle will make an additional $8 million over the next two seasons including an additional $30 million in guaranteed money. That brings his ledger to $48 million, $40 million of which is guaranteed, over the coming two seasons. The Eagles continue to reward the mainstays of their roster following a Super Bowl Championship. The updated contract now ties Johnson to the Eagles through the 2027 season, effectively serving as a one-year extension.

After failing to trade the veteran center, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Vikings will release Bradbury and designate him as a post-June 1 release to spread out the cap hit. Bradbury was selected No. 18 overall by the Vikings in 2019 and has started all 88 games he’s appeared in during his career. After being bit by the injury bug in each of the previous three seasons, Bradbury suited up for all 17 games in 2024 and earned a PFF blocking grade of 62.1. Now free to sign with anybody, Bradbury shouldn’t struggle to find a new landing spot on a short-term deal this upcoming season.

Thornhill was released by the Browns last month after an underwhelming two-year stint with the team. Injuries limited him to just 22 games over the last two seasons, but even when he was healthy, Thornhill failed to make the kind of impact we saw during his first four seasons with the Chiefs. Now, with the Steelers on a one-year prove-it deal, Thornhill will likely have to show what he can offer in camp if he hopes to earn a meaningful role in 2025.

Looking to stockpile talent on the cheap, the Eagles land themselves a solid pass rusher in Ojulari. During his first four seasons with the Giants, Ojulari totaled 22 sacks over 46 games. He managed six sacks in just 11 games last season. Injuries have plagued the former second-round pick throughout much of his career, but if healthy, he should prove to be an adequate replacement for Josh Sweat, who left in free agency earlier this offseason.

Darby is now on his fourth team in four seasons after being one-and-done with the Jaguars. The 31-year-old corner started in 12 of the 13 games he appeared in last season, earning a PFF coverage grade of 59.3 while allowing opposing receivers to go for 44-605-5 against him. A reliable vet with plenty of starting experience to offer, Darby is likely best suited for a depth role in DeMeco Ryans’ defense, but he’s more than capable of making the occasional spot start when needed.
