Saints, G Dillon Radunz Agree To Deal
The Saints are retaining free agent guard Dillon Radunz. The parties have agreed to a two-year contract, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports.
The Titans spent a 2021 second-round pick on Radunz, who did not become a regular until his third year. The North Dakota State product started in five of 23 games over his first two seasons, during which he saw time at both guard spots and left tackle. A torn ACL limited Radunz to 11 games in 2022, but he bounced back to start in 11 of 16 the next season. Aside from center, Radunz played every O-line position in 2023.
Although Radunz served as the Titans’ No. 1 right guard during a 15-game 2024, they let him walk in free agency last March. He settled for the Saints’ one-year offer and wound up starting 10 times in 15 games. Almost all of his snaps (693 of 699) came at left guard.
After Pro Football Focus rated Radunz a lackluster 72nd of 79 qualifying guards in 2025, the Saints entered the offseason seeking help at the position. New Orleans found it in former Ram and Bill David Edwards, whom the team brought in on a lucrative deal when the league’s negotiating window opened Monday. Edwards and Cesar Ruiz are the Saints’ top guards, leaving Radunz as experienced depth behind them.
Giants To Sign WR Calvin Austin
After often playing against John Harbaugh while the two were in the AFC North, Calvin Austin is now joining the coach in New York. The Giants are signing the veteran wide receiver, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Austin is inking a one-year deal, per Schefter. The receiver will earn up to $4.5MM on his new pact. Connor Hughes of SNYtv clarifies that Austin’s deal is worth a base value of $1.5MM, including only $100K in guaranteed money.
The 2022 fourth-round pick out of Memphis played out his rookie contract in Pittsburgh. A foot injury forced him to redshirt his rookie campaign, but he immediately carved out a role on special teams once he made his NFL debut. In three healthy seasons with the Steelers, Austin returned 72 punts for 639 yards and a touchdown.
At the same time, Austin had a somewhat consistent (albeit minor) role on offense. He had his best showing in 2024, when he hauled in 36 catches for 548 yards and four touchdowns. His numbers took a step back with a deeper receiving corps around new QB Aaron Rodgers in 2025. Austin finished this past year with 31 catches for 372 yards and three scores.
Austin got into six games against Harbaugh and the Ravens during his time in Pittsburgh, with his nine catches representing the most against any one opponent. Now in New York, he’ll likely take on a similar role. The team hasn’t done much to replace Wan’Dale Robinson, and with Malik Nabers returning from injury, perhaps Austin will be in line for a larger offensive role with his new squad. When the WR corps is whole, the free agent acquisition will be competing with the likes of Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins for reps.
Titans To Sign S Tony Adams
Titans head coach Robert Saleh is reuniting with another former Jet. Safety Tony Adams has agreed to a one-year contract with Tennessee, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports. Saleh previously added ex-Jets John Franklin-Myers, Jermaine Johnson, Solomon Thomas and Jacob Martin to a remade Titans defense.
Entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2022, Adams has played a large portion of his career under Saleh, the Jets’ former head coach. Saleh was at the helm until the team fired him in October 2024. Adams was a regular in Saleh’s defense for over a year.
After logging a meager 10.37% defensive snap share as a rookie, Adams worked as a full-time starter in his second season. The Illinois product tallied 82 tackles (six TFL), five passes defensed and a career-best three interceptions in 15 games.
Adams remained a starter in Saleh’s defense early in 2024. However, after Saleh’s ouster, Adams was the only player interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich benched during his 12 games in charge. The decision reportedly came at the behest of owner Woody Johnson. In any case, Adams finished the year with a personal-best 84 tackles, six passes defensed and a pick in 15 games and 11 starts.
With Aaron Glenn replacing Ulbrich in 2025, Adams started in nine of 12 games. The 27-year-old notched 49 tackles and five PDs on a defense that failed to intercept a pass all season. Adams’ year ended when a groin injury forced him to IR on Dec. 18. Pro Football Focus ranked Adams’ play a below-average 50th among 88 qualifying safeties. PFF placed him in a similar range during the previous two years.
In his second NFL stop, Adams will join Amani Hooker and Kevin Winston as the Titans’ top safeties. Xavier Woods was a starting safety on last year’s team, but with Saleh coming in, the Titans released him last month.
Seahawks To Sign RB Emanuel Wilson
After losing Kenneth Walker to the Chiefs, the Seahawks are adding to their backfield. They have agreed to a deal with former Packers running back Emanuel Wilson, per veteran insider Jordan Schultz. It’s a one-year contract worth up to $2.1MM, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The 26-year-old Wilson had been on the open market since the Packers non-tendered him on Feb. 27. Green Bay moved on from Wilson despite two straight productive seasons as a backup to Josh Jacobs.
After totaling just 14 carries as an undrafted rookie in 2023, the 5-foot-10, 226-pound Wilson combined for 228 attempts over the past two years. He ended his three-season, 41-game Green Bay tenure with 1,o83 yards and seven touchdowns on 242 rushes (a strong 4.5 YPC).
Walker’s exit to Kansas City has left the reigning champion Seahawks without a bona fide No. 1 back. The Seahawks also could go some portion of next season without Zach Charbonnet, their current top option. Charbonnet tore his ACL in a divisional-round win over the 49ers on Jan. 17.
Wilson and Charbonnet combined for 405 carries last year, while George Holani was a distant third with 22 attempts. Along with Wilson, Charbonnet and Holani, the Seahawks have fellow running backs Cam Akers, Velus Jones, Kenny McIntosh and Jacardia Wright under contract. As Seattle awaits Charbonnet’s recovery, Wilson may be its best in-house option.
49ers DE Bryce Huff To Retire
After six years in the NFL, 49ers defensive end Bryce Huff is calling it a career. Huff announced his retirement on Instagram on Thursday (via Nick Wagoner of ESPN).
Huff, 27, was traded to the 49ers last offseason and appeared in 15 games during the regular season. He recorded four sacks and six tackles for loss, the second-best production of his career that was still disappointing relative to double-digit totals in both categories in 2023.
The former Memphis standout signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2020 and carved out a rotational role on the defensive line as a rookie. He put up 7.5 sacks and seven tackles for loss in his first three years, though peripheral metrics like his pass rush win rate suggested he had more to offer.
That turned out to be the case in 2023, when he put up 10 sacks and 10 tackles for loss to go along with a 22.9% PRWR that ranked third among defensive linemen, per Pro Football Focus (subscription required). Huff peaked at the right time and earned a three-yera, $51MM payday from the Eagles with $34MM in guaranteed money.
A disappointing follow-up effort led the Eagles to reconsider their investment, and they ended up trading Huff to the 49ers for a conditional Day 3 pick. He rebounded upon reuniting with Robert Saleh, his head coach in New York, leading the 49ers with 46 pressures.
Huff was due just over $17MM in 2026 with a $5.4MM cap hit, per OverTheCap, but his retirement will wipe both of those numbers off San Francisco’s books. The 49ers will now be looking for edge-rushing depth with Yetur Gross-Matos and Clelin Ferrell also hitting free agency.
Huff will leave the NFL with 81 appearances (21 starts), 24.0 sacks, and 26 tackles for loss to his name, along with just over $40MM in career earnings. In his retirement announcement, he revealed his post-playing plans of starting a company to build safety infrastructure to reduce fire risk when using lithium batteries.
Dolphins To Sign Tutu Atwell, Marco Wilson
After four years with the Rams, wide receiver Tutu Atwell is headed to South Florida. The Dolphins are adding the Miami native on a one-year deal, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
In addition to Atwell, the Dolphins are bringing in cornerback Marco Wilson on a one-year pact, according to Schefter. The Fort Lauderdale native and former Florida Gator spent the past year-plus with the Bengals.
The value of Atwell’s contract is unknown, but it is unlikely to approach the $10MM guarantee the Rams handed him a year ago. At the time, Atwell was coming off his first 17-game season and one in which he set career highs in receptions (42) and yards (562). The 26-year-old was unable to build on those numbers during an injury-shortened 2025. Atwell missed seven games as a result of a hamstring injury. During the 10 Atwell played, he did not offer a strong complement to the all-world Puka Nacua–Davante Adams duo. Atwell caught just six of 15 targets and one touchdown, though he did average a robust 32.0 yards per grab.
As a 2021 second-round pick, Atwell likely did not develop into the type of impact receiver the Rams thought they were getting five years ago. The Louisville product had a catch-less, eight-game rookie season that ended with a mid-November trip to IR. The Rams won the Super Bowl without him just under three months later. Atwell went on to total 105 receptions for 1,535 yards (14.6 YPC) and five TDs over his last four years with the Rams.
The 5-foot-9, 165-pound Atwell will now have a chance to earn a roster spot on a Miami team that needs capable complements to No. 1 receiver Jaylen Waddle. The Dolphins released Tyreek Hill, leaving new quarterback Malik Willis with Atwell, Malik Washington, Terrace Marshall and Theo Wease behind Waddle.
Wilson is the latest in a long line of defenders to reach short-term agreements with the Dolphins this week. Like Atwell, Wilson entered the league as a member of the 2021 draft class. The Cardinals used a fourth-rounder on Wilson, who lasted two-plus years in their uniform.
Although Wilson started in 37 of 43 games and intercepted three passes in Arizona, the team cut him in December 2023. Wilson has played a combined 21 games with the Patriots and Bengals since then, but he has not gotten another start or added any more picks. The 27-year-old appeared in four of Cincinnati’s games in 2025 before succumbing to a season-ending hamstring injury in late November.
Falcons To Sign DE Samson Ebukam
The Falcons are adding another new edge rusher to their defense. Former Colts defensive end Samson Ebukam has agreed to sign in Atlanta, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Ebukam, 30, appeared in 14 games in 2025 after missing the entire 2024 season due to a torn Achilles. The Colts were understandably cautious about his return to the field; his snap count and sack production were both the lowest of his career since his 2017 rookie year. Ebukam did put up a respectable 10.2% pass rush win rate, per Pro Football Focus (subscription required), which represented a much less severe drop from his production between 2019 and 2023.
In that time, Ebukam recorded at least 4.5 sacks every season with a career-high of 9.5 in 2023, his first year in Indianapolis on a three-year, $27MM deal. Returning to that peak seems unlikely given that his pressure generation that season was not significantly higher than the rest of his career, but another year removed from a major injury should offer better results in Atlanta in 2026.
Ebukam is the second edge rusher the Falcons have added in free agency. They also signed Azeez Ojulari, another veteran who will provide depth behind 2025 first-rounders Jalon Walker and James Pearce. Pearce is currently facing felony charges in Florida and could be subject to league discipline, which would push Ebukam and Ojulari into bigger roles.
If Pearce is available, Ebukam and Ojulari will instead profile as more direct replacements for Leonard Floyd and Arnold Ebiketie, who combined for 5.5 sacks in 2025 and hit free agency this week.
Commanders To Add RB Rachaad White
With the Buccaneers adding Kenneth Gainwell, Rachaad White is on the move. He is heading to Washington, according to NFL.com’s Mike Garafolo.
The Arizona State alum will rejoin college teammate Jayden Daniels with the Commanders. The fifth-year running back is joining the Commanders on a one-year agreement, ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweets.
White and Daniels overlapped with the Sun Devils from 2020-21. White did not play with likely Commanders target Brandon Aiyuk, who was Daniels’ teammate in 2019, as the running back spent time at two other schools — Division II Nebraska-Kearney and Mt. San Antonio Junior College — before arriving in Arizona.
Although Gainwell’s Tampa arrival to team with Bucky Irving ensured White would need to look elsewhere for his second contract, he expected as much well before the Bucs’ free agency decision. White pointed to a Tampa exit immediately after the team’s 2025 season ended. Supplanted by Irving as the Bucs’ starter in 2024, White was needed to return to his starting post last year due to the second-year back battling multiple injuries. But Tampa Bay did not with to continue with the Irving-White partnership in 2026.
White put together a promising 2023 season, amassing 1,539 scrimmage yards. Among RBs that year, White’s yardage total ranked fourth. Despite that impressive showing, White lost his job to Irving midway through the 2024 slate. The Bucs drafted the Oregon product in Round 4 in 2024, and the move changed their plans at RB. White maintained a role alongside the swiftly developing runner, but it became clear Irving was the team’s future at the position.
Washington lost Austin Ekeler to an Achilles tear in Week 2 of last season; that certainly hurt the team’s ability to involve its backs in the passing game. White has 11 career receiving touchdowns, and his strong 2023 season included 593 receiving yards. The 27-year-old RB presents an option to complement Jacory Croskey-Merritt, who totaled 805 rushing yards as a rookie but only 68 through the air. With Washington losing Chris Rodriguez to Jacksonville, Croskey-Merritt and White look like the team’s new top backfield tandem.
In Daniels’ final season with the Sun Devils (2021), White totaled 1,462 scrimmage yards (462 receiving) and 16 touchdowns. The elusive back parlayed that season into a third-round selection. It will be worth wondering if White’s ceiling in Washington is an RB2/pass-down option; he has a career 3.9-yard average per carry (as Irving outshined him when healthy). But Dan Quinn wanted to lean on the run more, with that being part of the reason behind Kliff Kingsbury‘s ouster. A 1-2 punch involving Croskey-Merritt and White would likely feature extensive work for both.
Eagles To Re-Sign P Braden Mann
Despite the NFL still being in the first week of free agency, several teams are making punter moves. The Eagles are among them, reaching an agreement to re-sign Braden Mann.
Mann agreed to a four-year, $14MM accord, ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweets. The Eagles’ punter over the past three seasons, Mann is now signed through 2029. Mann will see $7MM guaranteed on this deal.
Rebounding after losing his job midway through a Jets rookie contract, Mann is now tied for fifth in per-year punter salaries. The Giants just moved the bar to $4.1MM by reuniting John Harbaugh with Jordan Stout, and the Eagles are spending bigger than they normally do at this spot. As The Athletic’s Zach Berman points out, the Eagles have not paid a punter top-10 money during Howie Roseman‘s GM tenure. Mann is going into his fourth season as Philly’s punter; the Eagles have not seen a punter stick around that long since Donnie Jones (2013-17).
Mann averaged a career-best 49.9 yards per punt last season. After not faring as well in the less friendly MetLife Stadium confines, Mann has averaged at least 48.8 yards per boot in each of his Eagles seasons. Mann’s 49.9 number ranked sixth last season.
The Jets drafted Mann in the 2020 sixth round out of Texas A&M, but veteran Thomas Morstead replaced him in 2023. The Steelers claimed Mann in April 2023 but waived him months later. The Eagles scooped up the struggling specialist via a September 2023 practice squad deal. Mann, 28, then replaced Arryn Siposs and has punted in every Eagles game since.
Bengals To Sign DT Jonathan Allen
The Vikings’ two high-profile street free agent defensive linemen — Jonathan Allen, Javon Hargrave — lasted one season in Minnesota, each being released Wednesday. Both have already found new homes.
After Hargrave landed with the Packers, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Allen is joining the Bengals on a two-year deal worth $28MM. The $28MM is the deal’s max value, per NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero, who notes the base value checks in at $26MM. This still represents a soft landing for Allen, who has been cut in each of the past two years.
[RELATED: Bengals Extend LT Orlando Brown Jr.]
Allen joins Boye Mafe as new arrivals on Cincinnati’s D-line. The Bengals have devoted some early-free agency funds to upgrading one of the NFL’s worst defenses. They have added Mafe, Allen and safety Bryan Cook to Al Golden‘s unit. Cincy now has three veteran options at defensive tackle, with Allen joining B.J. Hill and T.J. Slaton. The team also has former second-round pick Kris Jenkins Jr. in the fold at DT.
A former Washington first-round pick, Allen will be on his third team in three years. The Commanders cut bait in 2025, and the Vikings designated Allen a post-June 1 release Wednesday. Allen started 17 games with Minnesota last season and was a Pro Bowler in Washington. The 2017 draftee is going into an age-31 season, joining Hill in that regard. Slaton is 28. Slaton and McKinnley Jackson are in place as the NT options for the Bengals, with Allen being added as a three-technique rusher.
Although Cincinnati’s defense became less abysmal late in the season, the unit still ranked 30th. The unit was missing Trey Hendrickson for most of the season, but it struggled in 2024 with the standout defensive end submitting a Defensive Player of the Year runner-up finish. The Bengals have seen their defense (and Joe Burrow injuries) limit them over the past three seasons. Burrow’s first NFL setback — his 2020 ACL tear — actually came on a tackle by Allen and Montez Sweat (as SI.com’s Jay Morrison reminds).
Washington disbanded its four-first-rounder D-line at the 2023 trade deadline, dealing away Sweat and Chase Young. Allen and Daron Payne played together in 2024, but Allen missed much of that resurgent Commanders season with a pectoral injury. With Young’s career sidetracked by a 2021 knee injury, Allen stepped up; his Pro Bowls came during this period, with the Alabama alum combining for 16.5 sacks from 2021-22. Allen combined for 66 QB hits from 2021-23 but has not been as productive since.
This will move Allen back to a 4-3 scheme, after he transitioned to Brian Flores‘ 3-4 look in 2025. Those distinctions mean less and less, but they do still matter to a degree. Allen posted 3.5 sacks and 11 QB hits in 17 Vikings games. This $13MM-per-year contract is a bit south of where he was with Minnesota and Washington ($17MM and $18MM per year, respectively), but it shows teams still view the longtime interior presence highly.
