6 days agoFree-agent defensive end Patrick Jones II (knee) has agreed to a two-year deal worth up to $20 million on Monday with the Carolina Panthers, a source tells FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Jones will stay in the NFC and head to the South with Carolina after spending the first four seasons of his career with the Minnesota Vikings, where he collected 105 tackles (61 solo), 12 sacks, 22 tackles for loss, 25 QB hits and a forced fumble in 57 games (five starts). The 26-year-old missed the final two games of the year due to a knee injury, but he still had a career year in 2024 with 39 tackles (19 solo), a career-best seven sacks, nine tackles for loss, 12 QB hits and a forced fumble in 15 regular-season games (one start). The former third-round pick should be healthy by the time training camp rolls around and figures to be a rotational pass-rusher for Carolina's new-look defense in 2025.

6 days agoThe Carolina Panthers signed former Las Vegas Raiders safety Tre'von Moehrig to a three-year, $51 million deal on Monday, according to FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Moehrig will head to the NFC South for the next three years after coming off a career year with the Raiders in 2024 in which he had a career-best 104 tackles (64 solo), one sack, five tackles for loss, two interceptions, 10 pass breakups and two fumble recoveries in 17 starts. The 25-year-old defensive back's new deal ensures he'll be a starter in 2025 in his first year in Carolina after the Panthers made former first-round cornerback Jaycee Horn the highest-paid defensive back in the league on Monday. Moehrig was taken in the second round by Vegas in 2021 out of TCU, and he had 297 tackles (202) solo, three sacks, eight tackles for loss, five QB hits, six picks, 29 pass breakups and two fumble recoveries in his first four seasons.

6 days agoFormer Jacksonville Jaguars tight end
Luke Farrell agreed to a three-year contract worth up to $20.25 million on Monday with $11 million guaranteed, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's an addition for the 49ers in free agency that will bolster their tight end depth behind All-Pro
George Kittle, who is no stranger to injuries. The 27-year-old Farrell was a former fifth-round selection (145th overall) by the Jaguars in 2021 out of Ohio State. He had 36 receptions on only 47 targets for 318 yards and no touchdowns in 66 games (20 starts) in his four seasons with Jacksonville. Farrell's best season came in 2023, when he caught 13 of his 15 targets for 155 yards. If
Eric Saubert leaves as an unrestricted free agent this year, Farrell will have a better shot at being the primary backup to Kittle when games kick off in Week 1 this fall.

6 days agoThe Chicago Bears signed free-agent edge rusher Dayo Odeyingbo to a three-year deal worth $48 million ($16 million per year) on Monday that includes $32 million fully guaranteed, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Odeyingbo will head to the NFC North after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Indianapolis Colts. The 25-year-old defensive end was selected in the second round (54th overall) in the 2021 NFL draft out of Vanderbilt and put up 106 tackles (58 solo), 16.5 sacks, 21 tackles for loss, 46 QB hits, five forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in his time in Indy over 61 games (19 starts). After recording a career-best eight sacks for the Colts in 2023, Odeyingbo had just three sacks in 17 games (14 starts) last year. He figures to be a starter on Chicago's defensive line in his first year with the team in 2025.

6 days agoFree-agent center Drew Dalman, who was considered the top center on the market this year, reached an agreement on Monday on a three-year, $42 million deal with the Chicago Bears that includes $28 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal makes Dalmon the league's second-highest-paid center. It's the latest addition for the Bears as general manager Ryan Poles continues to address the offensive line for new head coach Ben Johnson. Last week, Chicago traded for guards Jonah Jackson and Joe Thuney. The 26-year-old Dalman missed eight games last year due to a high-ankle sprain he suffered in Week 3, but he also started 40 games for the Atlanta Falcons over the last three years and will be a big upgrade to the center position in the Windy City. Dalman allowed only two sacks in nine games played a year ago. All of Chicago's O-line additions are great news for second-year quarterback
Caleb Williams.

6 days agoThe Green Bay Packers have agreed to terms with former San Francisco 49ers guard Aaron Banks on a four-year, $77 million contract, according to NFL insider Ari Meirov. The 2021 second-round pick out of Notre Dame played in 53 games (43 starts) over his four-year NFL career and will provide an instant upgrade along the Green Bay offensive line. Banks will become a top-five offensive guard in average salary when he signs his deal after the new league year begins on March 12. This is a great development for quarterback
Jordan Love and running back
Josh Jacobs.

6 days agoThe Chicago Bears are signing former Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett to a three-year, $43.5 million deal, according to NFL insider Ari Meirov. Jarrett was released by Atlanta on Monday and did not take long to find a new home. The former fifth-round pick out of Clemson in 2015 is a two-time Pro Bowler and has collected 496 tackles (267 solo), 36.5 sacks, five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, six pass deflections, and 70 run stuffs in 152 career games. The 31-year-old has posted just 4 sacks in the last two seasons, so he is likely past his prime. Either way, he is likely to be a Day 1 starter for the Bears in 2025.

6 days agoThe Cincinnati Bengals are bringing back running back
Samaje Perine on a two-year deal worth up to $3.8 million, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Perine spent was with the organization for four years before joining the Kansas City Chiefs on a one-year deal last offseason. Overall, the 2017 fourth-round pick out of Oklahoma has rushed for 1,922 yards and nine touchdowns on 474 carries in 104 career games. The 29-year-old is a reliable pass-blocker and could carve out a role behind
Chase Brown, but he has limited fantasy football upside barring a Brown injury.

6 days agoThe Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed to terms on a one-year, $10 million contract worth up to $12 million with former Washington Commanders wide receiver
Dyami Brown, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. The 2021 third-round pick out of North Carolina caught fewer than 15 passes and posted fewer than 200 years in each of his first three NFL seasons, but he emerged in 2024 in his final season with Washington. Brown posted 30 receptions for 308 yards and one touchdown during the regular season before tallying 14 receptions for 229 yards and a score in three postseason games. He's now headed to Duval County to catch passes from
Trevor Lawrence, but his fantasy football upside is likely limited behind
Brian Thomas Jr. The team will likely look to add more pass-catchers this offseason after letting
Christian Kirk and
Evan Engram go.

6 days agoThe Buffalo Bills have agreed to terms with free-agent wide receiver
Joshua Palmer, according to NFL insider Ari Meirov. The former Los Angeles Chargers wideout is expected to sign a three-year, $36 million contract with the Bills when the new league year begins on March 12. Palmer was a third-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Tennessee and has collected 182 receptions for 2,287 yards and 10 touchdowns in 59 career games. Palmer's counting stats aren't all that impressive, but he's been a solid receiving option for
Justin Herbert during his four-year NFL career. Palmer could be a significant fantasy football riser playing alongside
Josh Allen with limited target competition in Buffalo.

The 29-year-old spent the first five seasons of his career with the Rams, starting 30 games in his last two seasons with the organization. He signed with the Chicago Bears last offseason and started all 17 games. Overall, the 2018 undrafted free agent has appeared in 73 games with 32 career starts. He will be in contention for a starting role in Los Angeles, assuming he ends up reaching a deal.
