The Green Bay Packers are releasing cornerback Nate Hobbs (knee) on Tuesday with a post-June 1 designation, a source told Rob Demovsky of ESPN. With the move, the Packers will save $8 million against the 2026 salary cap. The move doesn't come as a huge surprise, as Hobbs played in only 11 games (five starts) for the second straight season in 2025 and finished the year with a torn MCL that he suffered in Week 17 against the Baltimore Ravens. The 26-year-old signed a four-year, $48 million contract with Green Bay in March of last year. Hobbs was drafted in 2021 by the Las Vegas Raiders in the fifth round out of Illinois. It's unclear if Hobbs will be ready to go for the start of the 2026 season this fall, but if he is, he should be a candidate to start with another team. Injuries have been an issue for him, though, as Hobbs has played more than 13 games in a season just once, back in his rookie season in 2021.

The Athletic's Mike DeFabo believes that newly acquired wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., a player with good size (6-foot-4, 223 pounds), physicality, and pedigree, will be a good fit with the Pittsburgh Steelers. If the Steelers re-sign quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the 42-year-old future Hall of Famer "seems to prefer veterans who understand the nuances of route running, how to read coverages and what it takes to prepare for an opponent." Pittman, who should slot in as the No. 2 behind DK Metcalf, "checks a lot of those boxes." The 28-year-old will receive a new three-year, $59 million contract with the Steelers after being acquired from the Indianapolis Colts on Monday. Pittman did lead the Colts with 80 catches last year and had a career-best seven touchdowns, but his yardage total (784) was down for a second straight season. His 2026 fantasy value hinges on whether Rodgers returns for another season in Pittsburgh.

The Buffalo Bills and kicker Tyler Bass (hip, groin) agreed to a revised contract on Tuesday that includes $1 million guaranteed and a chance to earn up to $3.5 million in 2026, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Bass missed the entire 2025 season due to injury, so a pay cut was inevitable. The 29-year-old made 24 of his 29 field-goal attempts (4-for-4 from 50-plus yards) and went 59-for-64 on his extra points in 17 games during the regular season for Buffalo in 2024. The former sixth-rounder (188th overall) in 2020 out of Georgia Southern has made 84.5% of his 155 field-goal attempts in his five years in the NFL, all with the Bills. He has two years left on his contract and should enter the start of the 2026 season this fall as the team's starting placekicker, which will make him attractive again in most fantasy leagues.

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard was one of 2024's most successful fantasy breakouts, finishing his fourth professional season as the RB15, but 2025 brought hardships in the form of injuries and a frustrating timeshare with Rico Dowdle. With Dowdle now agreeing to a two-year pact with the Steelers in the opening hours of the NFL's legal tampering window, Hubbard again finds himself with a chance to claim the top spot on the depth chart. After a day in which the Panthers committed to spending big on the defensive side of the ball, the running backs' room is left with Hubbard, the oft-injured Jonathon Brooks, and 2025 fourth-round pick Trevor Etienne. If the team believes in the receiving prowess of Brooks and Etienne, this very well could be the trio they enter the 2026 season with, perhaps with the addition of a late-round depth piece from a rookie class not necessarily touted for the strength of its running back group.

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey finished his 2025 rookie campaign as the lead back in the Mile High City, following a Week 10 foot injury that ended J.K. Dobbins' first season with the team. Expected to pursue the position aggressively when the legal tampering window opened on Monday, the Broncos agreed to a new two-year deal with Dobbins, worth up to $20 million with $8 million guaranteed. After handing out one of the larger running back deals of the day, it would appear that Harvey will find himself in a similar position to the one in which he opened his rookie season as the clear 1B in a timeshare with Dobbins. Harvey was able to salvage his fantasy season, with a traditionally unsustainable 12 touchdowns, but he lacked notable explosiveness, and his 128-touch pace through the year's first ten weeks was well below what fantasy managers had hoped for following his lofty second-round NFL Draft capital and rumblings of his usage in Sean Payton's Joker role.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten appears to have benefited from the first day of the NFL's legal tampering window, watching former teammate Travis Etienne Jr. agree to a four-year deal with the New Orleans Saints and leaving him presently atop the depth chart. With most of the bigger-name free agent backs already finding new homes in the first 24 hours of open negotiation, and the Jaguars likely picking too late in the draft to add an impactful Day 1 rookie, Tuten has a strong chance to enter his second season as the team's number one option out of the backfield. Currently joining him on the depth chart are 2025 seventh-round pick LeQuint Allen, who spent much of his rookie year relegated to special teams, handling only 23 rushing attempts, and seventh-year journeyman DeeJay Dallas.

Pro-Bowl linebacker Devin Lloyd has agreed to a three-year, $45 million contract with the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers, who also agreed to terms on a four-year deal with edge rusher Jaelan Phillips, continue to reshape their defense by bringing in the 27-year-old off-ball linebacker who is coming off one of the most impactful seasons of his four-year career. A Pro-Bowler and Second-Team All-Pro in 2025, the former Jaguar finished the year with a career-high 10 quarterback hits and five interceptions, including one that he returned 99 yards for his first career touchdown. Lloyd is now one of the ten-highest-paid players at the position and will be the focal point of a Panthers defense on which the team committed to spending big on the first day of legal tampering.

Dynasty | The Dolphins have signed free agent quarterback Malik Willis Dynasty Analysis: After spending four years as a backup in Tennessee and Green Bay, Willis finally gets his chance and a whopping three-year, $67.5 million contract in the process. Miami let Tua Tagovailoa go this morning, making this move less surprising. However, Willis is still pretty unproven and it's a gamble for a team that's taking on $99 million in dead cap money already with Tagovailoa being released. Willis has a high ceiling and low floor but his ADP is going to skyrocket now that he's one of just 32 starting quarterbacks in the NFL.

Dynasty | The Bucs have signed running back Kenneth Gainwell. Dynasty Analysis: With Tampa Bay likely losing both Sean Tucker and Rachaad White as free agents, they needed to add some depth at the position behind Bucky Irving. Gainwell got a $14 million deal, so he could eat into some of Irving's catches and be more than just a fallback option. However, expecting the same numbers he posted last year in Pittsburgh seems unrealistic. Gainwell remains a back-end roster stash and now a good handcuff to Irving as well.

Dynasty | The Cardinals have signed free agent running back Tyler Allgeier. Dynasty Analysis: Once the starter in Atlanta in a pre-Bijan Robinson world, Allgeier will now add himself into a backfield that already has a restructured (in many ways) James Conner and Trey Benson. This looks like a backfield to avoid in fantasy leagues and a signing that's a lot better in reality than fantasy. Allgeier only signed for $12.25 million on a two-year deal, meaning his market really didn't develop. He remains a shaky hold in dynasty league but one you likely need to have while the backfield shakes out in the coming months.

Dynasty | The Saints have signed free agent running back Travis Etienne. Dynasty Analysis: Etienne reportedly gets a four-year deal worth "$52 million" to be the centerpiece of the offense next to Tyler Shough. This is a solid landing spot for Etienne, who will take over lead back duties from Alvin Kamara and push Kendre Miller back into a backup role. Etienne is a solid back who has had some ups and downs but he had a solid bounce-back season last year and is still just 27 years old. He could push for RB1 status again next year just based on what looks to be a three-down workload.

Dynasty | The Titans have signed free agent wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson. Dynasty Analysis: Robinson inks a four-year deal worth $78 million. He took off last season with Malik Nabers hurt, posting a 92/1,014/4 season with the Giants. That may be tough to replicate with Cam Ward and company but it's a solid landing spot as he'll have a clear starting job and could be the WR1 in the offense with the future of Calvin Ridley unknown and Elic Ayomanor still not projecting as a true "go-to" option at the position. In the end, this is a solid get for the Titans and Robinson's ADP should still be on the rise.

Dynasty | The Falcons have signed wide receiver Jahan Dotson. Dynasty Analysis: This one is sneaky good for Dotson as the Falcons let go of Darnell Mooney just a week ago. With Drake London and Kyle Pitts commanding most of the targets, there may not be many left. However, the former first round pick does have some talent and could find his way to some good games. He remains a fringe roster player in most dynasty leagues but you could do worse for a late round flier.

Dynasty | The 49ers have signed free agent wide receiver Mike Evans. Dynasty Analysis: The longtime Buc will leave Florida for California and instantly become of the top weapons in the 49ers offense. The move is somewhat surprising considering he had played his entire career in Tampa Bay but the fit is perfect for his skillset and it's also tough to pass up a three-year contract that could pay him up to $60 million. Evans should be a great red zone target for Brock Purdy and if healthy, have a chance to get back to his 1,000-yard ways. He's a solid target for a dynasty contender.

Dynasty | The Bucs have re-signed tight end Cade Otton. Dynasty Analysis: With Mike Evans possibly on his way out, Otton became a priority for Tampa pretty quickly. He's been up and down during his time with the Bucs but has proven to be a reliable option when needed. He likely won't hit TE1 status any time soon, but you could still do worse for streaming options. He caught 59 passes for 572 yards and one touchdown last season, which seems like a floor moving forward, especially on the touchdown front.

The Tennessee Titans have signed defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers to a three-year, $63 million contract, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL.com. Franklin-Myers was a fourth-round pick in 2018, and he has enjoyed breakout years with both the New York Jets and Denver Broncos. Most recently, in 2025, he was a Bronco, racking up 7.5 sacks and 25 tackles across 16 games (15 starts). He has a pre-existing connection to current Titans head coach Robert Saleh, who was also his head coach with the Jets. $21 million per year is a hefty payday for someone who has never tallied eight sacks in a single season, but he was reportedly the Titans' top target in free agency, and they had to beat out the San Francisco 49ers in a bidding war to get him.

The Tennessee Titans have signed free-agent cornerback Alontae Taylor to a three-year, $60 million contract that includes $42 million fully guaranteed, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Taylor represents another major splash on the first day of the tampering window for the Titans, who also reportedly agreed to terms with wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson and defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers. Across 16 games (15 starts) in 2025, Taylor racked up two interceptions, 11 passes defended, two sacks, and 83 tackles. It's exciting to see defensive-minded head coach Robert Saleh go out and invest so much money into the defense this early in March. Titans fans and fantasy managers should be excited about the team's 2026 defense with Franklin-Myers and Taylor already signed, and surely even more moves yet to come.

The Kansas City Chiefs are re-signing wide receiver Tyquan Thornton to a two-year, $11 million deal that includes a maximum value of $14 million, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL.com. Thornton is a former second-round pick of the New England Patriots, but he joined the Chiefs prior to the 2025 season. Throughout the year, he caught 19 of his 37 targets for 438 yards and three touchdowns. These aren't otherworldly numbers, but he was consistent enough to both establish himself within the Chiefs' depth chart and also earn a new deal to come back for 2026 and beyond. Fantasy managers should temper expectations on Thornton, though, at least for the time being. He peaked at WR81 in PPR leagues (last year) and will have a tough time cracking the top 75 in both dynasty startup and redraft leagues during 2026.

The Carolina Panthers have signed edge rusher Jaelan Phillips to a four-year, $120 million contract, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Phillips is a former first-round pick who spent 4.5 years in Miami before being dealt to the Philadelphia Eagles at the 2025 trade deadline. He was healthy for all 17 games last season and made a career-high 17 starts while amassing five sacks, 14 quarterback hits, 53 tackles, and two fumble recoveries. Giving Phillips such a lucrative contract reaffirms Carolina's desire to invest in its defense, just a few months after winning the NFC South and being eliminated in the first round of the NFL playoffs. Phillips will immediately fill an impact role on defense as the Panthers look to slow down the likes of Michael Penix Jr., Tyler Shough, and Baker Mayfield within their own division.

The Washington Commanders have signed free-agent edge rusher Odafe Oweh to a four-year, $100 million contract that includes $68 million guaranteed, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Oweh spent his first 4.5 NFL seasons with the Baltimore Ravens before being acquired by the Los Angeles Chargers during the 2025 regular season. He appeared in 17 games last year, amassing 7.5 sacks, 18 quarterback hits, and 38 tackles. Over the last two seasons combined, he has recorded 17.5 sacks. Oweh will provide a key pass-rushing presence within a Commanders' defense that previously lacked starpower. He'll be tasked with slowing down some of the talented quarterbacks in Washington's division, including Dak Prescott, Jalen Hurts, and Jaxson Dart.
