Decker is good to go for the Lions’ Divisional Round game against the Commanders this weekend. He reportedly missed Wednesday’s practice celebrating the birth of his second child. Lions RG Kevin Zeitler (hamstring) is the other offensive lineman who has missed practice this week. After being a DNP on Thursday, Lions coach Dan Campbell said Christian Mahogany would start in Zeitler’s place if Zeitler is unable to go on Saturday against the Commanders.

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.

Shifted back to tackle initially with the Chargers, Penning wound up posting a 60.4 PFF blocking grade in 197 snaps after coming over at the trade deadline. This contract values him as a swing player for 2026.

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.

The financials were not immediately made available. The seven-year veteran has made 18 starts across 85 appearances for the Broncos, Vikings, and Giants, tying a career high with four starts in New York in 2025. It’s a low-risk, moderate-reward move for a franchise in desperate need of depth up front.

Brooks was an ERFA, meaning his only choice was to come back to Atlanta if they chose to tender him. He appeared in all 17 games in 2025 and was credited with one start. Brooks broke up two passes and tallied 10 tackles while also picking up work on special teams.

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.

Settle was enjoying a great season for the Texans in 2025 before suffering a Lisfranc injury in December. This is a strong commitment in light of that fact, and Settle may be rehabbing for most of the offseason. Settle had a career-high 78.0 PFF pass rush grade for the Texans in 2025 and returns to the team that drafted him in 2018.
