NFL Free Agency Rumors 2024
Up to the minute news on NFL Free Agency Rumors 2024Packers re-sign yet another cornerback
Photo by Perry Knotts/ Green Bay has now re-signed three of their cornerbacks via free agency with the addition of Robert Rochell. Earlier this offseason, the Green Bay Packers had the opportunity to tender cornerback Robert Rochell with a “first right of refusal” tag that would have made the restricted free agent $2.985 million and never let the defensive back hit unrestricted free agency. Instead, the Packers elected to not place that tender on Rochell and have now re-signed the cornerback, per ESPN’s Rob Demovsky. Assuming that the Packers are acting rationally...
2024 NFL Free Agency: Panthers sign T Yosh Nijman to two-year contract
Photo by Jim McIsaac/ Carolina will pay Nijman an adjustable contract that will nearly double his take home money if he’s able to reach incentives. On Tuesday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the Carolina Panthers had signed former Green Bay Packers tackle Yosh NIjman via free agency. Nijman, who joined the Packers as an undrafted free agent in 2019, had played 67 games for the team, including 22 starts — mostly during the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Going into last offseason, with uncertainty at left tackle due to David Bakhtiari’s injury history, most...
Tuesday Trenches: Week 1 free agency recap and a look ahead
Phil Didion/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK A wild first week of the new league year! Let’s recap. And we’re back! The offseason is over (kinda), and the Cincinnati Bengals are wheeling and dealing! Now that legal tampering is over and free agency has officially begun, the Bengals have signed some new faces, but they’ve also lost a few as well. So here’s a recap: *Disclaimer: As of this writing, this is up-to-date. Who we signed (not in any particular order) Sheldon Rankins, DT (Houston): Rankins is a very threatening 3-tech interior pass rusher. He has...
Patriots free agency profile: Austin Hooper has experience in the Alex Van Pelt offense
Photo by Justin Edmonds/ The Patriots signed hooper to a one-year contract to bolster their tight end group. The second day of the NFL’s legal tampering period was a busy one for the New England Patriots tight end group. Not only did it experience two of its 2023 members departing as free agents — Mike Gesicki to Cincinnati and Pharaoh Brown to Seattle — it also saw the addition of Austin Hooper on a one-year contract. While it remains to be seen how big his impact will actually be, Hooper adds another experienced presence to the group to improve its overall...
Trent Brown scheduled to meet with Bengals, per report
Photo by Bryan Bennett/ The Bengals offensive line could be getting some big help. The Cincinnati Bengals are currently without a starting-caliber right tackle after Jonah Williams opted to go to the Arizona Cardinals via free agency after being forced to switch to right tackle last season. It now appears the team may be looking to fill his shoes with one mountain of a man. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Bengals are hosting Trent Brown for a visit on Tuesday. Free-agent OT Trent Brown is scheduled to travel tonight to Cincinnati to meet Tuesday with the Bengals, who...
Detroit Lions get widespread praise for Kevin Zeiter addition
Photo by Perry Knotts/ Both national and local analysts LOVE the Detroit Lions free agent addition of Kevin Zeitler. On Monday night, news broke that the Detroit Lions have agreed to terms with veteran guard Kevin Zeitler on a one-year deal. Zeitler will likely step into a starting position—almost certainly right guard—giving the Lions offensive line a potential starting five again after losing Jonah Jackson in free agency. Zeitler is a 12-year NFL veteran, meaning he brings a ton of experience to Detroit. In fact, according to Pro Football Reference, Zeitler’s...
Arrowheadlines: AFC West is expected to be one of NFL’s weakest divisions
Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports Chiefs headlines for Tuesday, March 19 The latest NFL Division-by-Division Rankings After First Week of 2024 Free Agency | Bleacher Report 5. AFC West As great as the Kansas City Chiefs are—it would be tough to argue they deserve to be anywhere aside from No. 1 on any power rankings list after winning back-to-back Super Bowls—the AFC West still doesn’t come close to being the league’s strongest division. The Chiefs were the only AFC West squad to reach the playoffs last year and even they struggled at times during the regular...
New mock draft has Bengals making blockbuster Tee Higgins trade
Photo by Ryan Kang/ This would be quite the move. Tee Higgins and the Cincinnati Bengals failed to come to a deal before free agency, forcing the Bengals to apply the franchise tag to keep him in stripes. From there, Higgins requested a trade so he could try to head to a different team that would be happy to pay him. No such trade has come through, but the latest NFL Mock Draft from Ian Cummings of Pro Football Network has the Bengals trading him not for a pick straight up but for a move up the board to draft his replacement. NEW MOCK DRAFT The Vikings trade the...
Rams 7-round mock draft: Post-free agency edition
Photo by Isaiah Vazquez/ Rams go defense-heavy in post-free agency mock draft While free agency isn’t over, the first week came and went with a lot of excitement. The Los Angeles Rams signed Jonah Jackson, Darious Williams, Colby Parkinson and Kam Curl and their big signings that should help supplement the roster. It’s possible that the Rams still add a player or two in the second wave of free agency over the next few weeks, but for the most part, the focus will now be on the draft. With Aaron Donald’s retirement announcement, it certainly spiced up the rest of...

Photo by Jorge Lemus/NurPhoto via The Rams spent money in the first week of free agency, does the media think they did good? ProFootballFocus gave the L.A. Rams a B grade for the first week of free agency after signing upgrades to the offensive line and secondary. The Rams signed guard Jonah Jackson and tight end Colby Parkinson on the first day, then added cornerback Darious Williams to help a weak secondary from 2023. In addition, the team released center Brian Allen, as well as re-signing Kevin Dotson and Demarcus Robinson before they could leave for other...
Cowboys free agency leaves a lot of holes, but it’s not as bad as it looks
Photo by Christian Petersen/ There are a lot of people questioning how the Dallas Cowboys are approaching free agency. It’s business as usual for the Dallas Cowboys and that means it’s time to disappoint fans who are holding their breath for some new toys to admire as the team revamps their roster. Most are conditioned for this quiet period, but it’s still concerning because the Cowboys have lost several of their own free agents and signed only one new one. Not only that, but the team is without their regular fourth- and fifth-round draft picks so their draft...
Raiders free agency: How the defensive tackles stack up

Don’t be surprised if the Vikings slow down a bit in free agency
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports They might already be looking towards 2025 The first full week of NFL free agency was an exciting one for the Minnesota Vikings. Certainly more exciting than some of us, myself included, thought it was going to be. However, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see things start to slow down a bit as we start winding towards the 2024 NFL Draft. Why? Well, because the Vikings might already be looking forward to the 2025 NFL Draft, at least in part. As we’ve pointed out over the course of various offseasons, Nick Korte from Over the Cap does a tracker...
This Patriots Move Among NFL Writer’s ‘Favorite’ Free-Agency Signings
The New England Patriots’ reported deal for K.J. Osborn received a glowing review from a longtime NFL writer. After the Patriots reportedly agreed to terms with Osborn on Sunday, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer called the one-year deal for the veteran receiver one of his “favorite signings of free agency.” “Just a really good football player […]
2024 Seahawks free agency: Seattle signs former Rams guard
Photo by Ric Tapia/ Tremayne Anchrum Jr spent the previous three seasons with one of Seattle’s division rivals. The Seattle Seahawks have kicked off Monday with another free agent signing, this time on the offensive line. Seattle announced the addition of former Los Angeles Rams guard Tremayne Anchrum Jr. Contract details were not disclosed, but my gut instinct indicates it’ll be one year. Anchrum only made one start in Los Angeles over three seasons, so it’s fair to assume that Anchrum will be competing for a starting job in Seattle. Here’s what he had to say...
Instant grade for the Patriots signing WR K.J. Osborn in free agency
Photo by David Berding/ The Patriots signed Osborn to a one-year contract. The New England Patriots were rather inactive for the last few days, not signing a single free agent between Thursday and Saturday. On Sunday, however, they made another move when they signed former Minnesota Vikings wideout K.J. Osborn to a one-year pact. WR K.J. Osborn: Signed (1 year, $4M) Bernd Buchmasser: Even though Osborn is not a real No. 1 option at the wide receiver position, his presence should help the team and its wide receiver group in 2024. Not only is he a steady complementary...

What Antonio Gibson Took Away From Initial Talks With Jerod Mayo
Those who have spent the last few years working alongside New England Patriots first-year head coach Jerod Mayo understood he is different in the way he communicates and leads the group. It didn’t take long for Antonio Gibson, who signed with the Patriots on the first day of NFL free agency, to glean the same. […]
Film Room: The highs and lows of Gardner Minshew
Gardner Minshew | Photo by Andy Lyons/ Pocket management is a big question mark with Raiders new QB Heading into the offseason, the Las Vegas Raiders didn’t make it a secret that they were going to be in the market for a quarterback. However, signing Gardner Minshew to a two-year, $25 million contract ($15 million guaranteed) in free agency was still a surprising move. Minshew has primarily been a backup during his five-year career, serving as a Week 1 starter only once, in 2020 before suffering an injury and eventually getting benched later that year. Other than that...
Steelers getting cold feet on Tyler Boyd?
Photo by Mark Alberti/Icon Sportswire via Boyd may not join the Bengals’ rivals after all. Longtime Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd will be playing football elsewhere this upcoming season, and ever since free agency opened, his hometown Pittsburgh Steelers have been the reported favorite. However, a report from The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly indicates that the Steelers may have other plans. “Some people (not all) inside Steelers not 100% on board with signing Tyler Boyd,” Kaboly tweeted. “There is still time to work things, and everything is still on...
Scouting Jets offensive tackle Tyron Smith

The 33-year old Smith is listed at 6’5” and 320 pounds and was the 9th overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft out of USC.

How much the Seahawks are paying Rayshawn Jenkins
Photo by Perry Knotts/ After creating a need at safety by making cap cuts, the Seahawks addressed that need by signing the former Chargers and Jaguars safety. The first wave of free agency came and went, and the Seattle Seahawks added players at several key positions on the field, addressing needs and filling holes ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft. One of the biggest positions of need was at safety, where the Hawks had created a significant hole with the release of Quandre Diggs and Jamal Adams ahead of the start of the new league year. The Hawks moved quickly to fill that...
Antonio Gibson looking forward to ‘fresh start’ with the Patriots
Photo by Adam Glanzman/ Gibson signed a three-year deal with the team in free agency. After being drafted in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Antonio Gibson’s career got off to a strong start in Washington. That consisted of starting 24 games throughout his first two seasons and running for over 1,800 yards and 18 touchdowns. But after the team drafted running back Brian Robinson Jr. entering the 2022 season, Gibson’s role reduced and he started just eight total games over the past two years. Now after inking a three-year contract with the New England...
Podcast: What signing Tyron Smith means for the Jets
Mark Konezny-USA TODAY Sports The Jets made their biggest move of the young offseason by signing tackle Tyron Smith from the Dallas Cowboys. Smith’s contract reportedly has around $7 million in guarantees with potentially $13 million or so in incentives. The move fills one of the most glaring holes the Jets had entering free agency. On today’s podcast I discuss the signing. Entering the offseason, the Jets had a number of significant needs. There was no perfect solution to any of their problems. There were potential solutions that came with either flaws or question...

First, receiver Diontae Johnson was traded to the Carolina Panthers on Tuesday, March 12, 2024.

Report: 49ers’ asked the Jaguars for pick No. 17, plus a player, in exchange for Brandon Aiyuk
Photo by Michael Zagaris/San Francisco 49ers/ The 49ers asked for the Jaguars No. 17 overall pick and Zay Jones, but the Jaguars soured on the deal. Last week, a report surfaced that there was mutual interest between San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk’s camp and the Jacksonville Jaguars, who recently lost Calvin Ridley in free agency to the Tennesee Titans. One reason the 49ers would shop Aiyuk is that his asking price is higher than they would be willing to pay. So, instead of forking out cash for the receiver they developed into an elite weapon at a...
