The Bengals save nearly $1 million with the move. Finley started four forgettable games for the Bengals in two seasons as the team’s backup, completing 48.7 percent of his passes and throwing three touchdowns to four interceptions. The mobile Finley is hardly an ideal backup but should find a job for another team that will pray he never has to make a start.

The deal marks Cisco’s first season away from the Jaguars, who drafted him in the 2021 NFL draft’s third round. The 24-year-old safety has forced incompletions at a 20.0 percent rate, or better, in 3-of-4 seasons. He can be expected to compete for one of the two starting roles alongside incumbent S Tony Adams.

Murphy was poised to hit the open market come Wednesday but the team ultimately retained his services through a contract that makes his the fourth highest paid cornerback in the league. After beginning his career in Arizona, Murphy has played the last two seasons with the Vikings and brings familiarity with defensive coordinator Brian Flores’ system. Murphy and the Vikings had a rollercoaster offseason with ongoing negotiations, ultimately able to come to a meeting of the minds before the new league year begins Wednesday.

Schultz notes that the Pats want to trade him to a situation where he can continue to develop. He said the team should be able to get a deal done. New England has agreed to terms with Josh Dobbs on a two-year, $8 million contract. That takes care of the backup gig and leaves Milton without much of a role on the team. The Pats almost certainly signed Dobbs knowing Milton would be traded down the road. The cannon-armed quarterback played the bulk of New England’s Week 18 finale last year and threw for 241 yards plus a touchdown. He also rushed for a touchdown. Milton remains a developmental option, but he has the physical tools of a starting quarterback. Staring down a weak free agent crop and an underwhelming draft class, someone will take a shot on Milton this offseason.

The Panthers signed two defensive tackles at the beginning of free agency earlier Monday, ultimately retaining Tuttle via restructure. The veteran defensive tackle will take a $3.5 million pay cut, with his new contract guaranteeing him only $500 thousand with a maximum value of $3 million.

The deal was reported to be in the works earlier this evening and the ink should be dry later this week. It’s slightly surprising to see Harris only land a one-year deal, but the bruising back can make “up to” $9.25 in 2025 and then hit the open market again next year. Harris will take over as the Chargers’ top option with JK Dobbins yet to be re-signed by the team and Gus Edwards released ahead of free agency. Harris topped 1,000 rushing yards in all four seasons with the Steelers but hasn’t pushed past 1,043 yards since his rookie season. There isn’t much upside for the Chargers with this signing, but Harris is a competent runner who can handle the grind of the NFL season, something none of LA’s backs managed in 2025. With more touchdown opportunities than he saw in Pittsburgh, Harris could stick at the back of the RB2 fantasy ranks if he avoids major competition for touches via the draft.

The team’s “sixth man” along the offensive line quickly developed into a fan favorite after continually reporting as eligible, routinely being found in a route near the end zone from jumbo formations. Skipper has experience at both guard and tackle and also gives the Lions a viable backup along the offensive line should injuries arise in 2025.

Borom has played a swing tackle role for the Bears since they drafted him in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He has 27 career starts across four seasons split primarily between right and left tackle. Borom does, however, have a few reps at both guard spots in the NFL. He should slot into a backup role for the Dolphins.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Young can earn up to $57 million. Young tied his career-best quarterback pressure sum last year, notching 66 in his first season with the Saints. He added seven sacks and 19 tackles. At 25 years old, Young is in his prime and ready to contribute to DC Brandon Staley’s new defense.

The seven-year veteran was widely regarded as one of the top interior linemen in free agency, with the Dolphins pouncing on his services after struggling mightily up front a season ago. That said, Daniels comes with risk after suffering a torn Achilles in late September of 2024. Daniels has played all three interior linemen positions throughout his career and should be ready for the start of the 2025 regular season.

Per Adam Schefter, Juszczyk intends to test free agency and wants to keep playing in the league, but it could be difficult to come across a situation that brings as much playing time as he had in San Francisco considering the dying art of the fullback position. The 12-year veteran has spent the previous eight seasons with the 49ers after coming into the league with the Ravens in 2013. Now entering his age-34 season, Juszczyk no longer brings the same rushing and receiving upside he once did, but he remains one of the better all-around fullbacks in the league.
