Monday, March 18

Former Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles is finalizing a deal to join the Los Angeles Rams as Jared Goff's backup, a source told ESPN's Jeff Darlington. The Jaguars waived Bortles after five tumultuous seasons, just hours after signing free-agent quarterback Nick Foles.

The Washington Redskins have signed offensive tackle Ereck Flowers to a one-year, $4 million deal, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Flowers, 24, was the ninth overall pick in 2015 by the New York Giants but never played at the high level expected of a top-10 pick.

The Philadelphia Eagles agreed to a one-year contract with safety Andrew Sendejo on Monday, the team announced. Sendejo, 31, became a free agent when the Minnesota Vikings declined to exercise his 2019 contract option.

The Cincinnati Bengals have released outside linebacker Vontaze Burfict, a source told ESPN's Dianna Russini on Monday. Burfict, 28, has missed 18 games over the past three seasons and wasn't considered a lock to return to the team despite signing a three-year extension worth more than $38 million before the 2017 season.

Former Green Bay Packers cornerback Bashaud Breeland is signing with the Kansas City Chiefs, a source told ESPN. Breeland will help fill the void left when cornerback Steven Nelson signed a three-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers last week.

Haloti Ngata, one of the most dominant defensive linemen of his era, scaled new heights to announce his retirement. On an Instagram post, Ngata stood on top of Mount Kilimanjaro -- the world's highest free standing mountain -- with a banner that read: "I'm retiring from the NFL on top."

Sunday, March 17

The New Orleans Saints have a new leading contender for their starting center vacancy. The Saints agreed to a four-year, $24 million contract with former Minnesota Vikings guard/center Nick Easton, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Former Los Angeles Rams linebacker Mark Barron reached agreement on a two-year, $12 million deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. He becomes the second notable veteran defensive player added by the Steelers in free agency, joining former Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Steven Nelson, who signed a three-year contract with Pittsburgh. The Steelers also signed wide receiver Donte Moncrief to a two-year deal.

The Miami Dolphins have agreed to terms with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick on a two-year contract, a source told ESPN's Cameron Wolfe. A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the $11 million contract contains incentives that could boost the deal to between $17 million and $20 million.

Saturday, March 16

The Oakland Raiders have released offensive tackle Donald Penn after five seasons, the team announced. The Raiders said the two sides came to a mutual decision to let Penn go. The move comes after Oakland signed Trent Brown to the richest contract for a tackle earlier in the week and drafted two tackles in the first three rounds last year.

Three-time Pro Bowl center Max Unger has decided to retire after 10 seasons, leaving a large void in the middle of the New Orleans Saints' offensive line. It's unclear how long the Saints have known about Unger's plan to retire, but they did visit with at least one free-agent guard/center this week in Nick Easton.

Tight end Tyler Eifert is re-signing with the Cincinnati Bengals on a one-year contract, a source confirmed to ESPN. Eifert, 28, broke his ankle last season on Sept. 30 against the Atlanta Falcons and was put on injured reserve after only four games, 15 receptions and one touchdown.

The Jacksonville Jaguars announced they have signed free-agent wide receiver Chris Conley, formerly of the Kansas City Chiefs, and former Cincinnati Bengals offensive lineman Cedric Ogbuehi.

Friday, March 15

The Denver Broncos have reached agreement with former Chicago Bears cornerback Bryce Callahan, a source told ESPN's Dianna Russini. The deal is for three years, $21 million and includes $10 million fully guaranteed, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Newly signed wide receiver Golden Tate isn't looking at the New York Giants as a complete rebuild. He views the situation differently, even if Odell Beckham Jr., Landon Collins and Olivier Vernon are no longer with the team following recent moves. Tate said Friday after signing a lucrative new contract with the Giants that they were "not as far off as people think." Part of that is a belief that there are good players on the roster.

The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to terms with cornerback Ronald Darby on a one-year deal, the team announced. Darby had two significant injuries in as many seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. He dislocated his ankle in the 2017 opener, missing half the season, and then suffered a torn ACL this past November. He started 16 games in Philadelphia, posting four interceptions with 21 passes defensed. He started all three postseason games in 2017, finishing with six passes defensed for the Super Bowl LII champs.

The Miami Dolphins have traded Ryan Tannehill to the Tennessee Titans. Miami gets a fourth-round draft pick in 2020 and a seventh-rounder in 2019, while Tennessee gets the QB and a sixth-round pick in 2019, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have agreed to terms with linebacker Shaq Barrett on one-year deal worth $5 million, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Barrett has been a high-motor, rotational player at outside linebacker in the Denver Broncos' 3-4 defense since he first grabbed their attention as an undrafted rookie in 2014, but his playing time took a significant hit this past season with the emergence of No. 5 overall draft pick Bradley Chubb.

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie's retirement didn't last long. The corner, who announced his retirement during last season, signed a one-year deal with the Washington Redskins, reuniting with former teammate Landon Collins and providing veteran insurance. Rodgers-Cromartie had announced his retirement via Instagram in October after spending seven games with the Oakland Raiders.

The Raiders will play at the Oakland Coliseum this season, and possibly in 2020, after acrimonious negotiations finally led to vote by the Coliseum Commission and an agreement on a lease.

Veteran defensive end Adrian Clayborn tweeted that the New England Patriots have granted him his release, which was a move foreshadowed based on his rising salary-cap charge ($5.9 million) and niche role from 2018. Clayborn's release will save the Patriots about $3.5 million in cap space for 2019. He played 30 percent of the defensive snaps in the 2018 regular season, with his primary contributions coming as a rusher in obvious passing situations. Clayborn's uncertain future with the team came into focus late in the year when he was a healthy scratch for Patriots' final two games. -- Mike Reiss

The NFL is suspending Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt for eight games for violating its personal conduct policy, a league source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Hunt's suspension stems from a February 2018 incident in which he was shown on video shoving and kicking a woman during an early-morning altercation outside his downtown Cleveland residence.

ESPN Staff Writer The Browns expect Kareem Hunt to be present for the start of offseason workouts April 1. Hunt can take part in OTAs, minicamps, training camp and preseason games. His suspension will not take effect until Aug. 31, the day of final roster reductions before the season opener. Hunt was take off the commissioner's exempt list when his suspension was announced.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are signing tight end Geoff Swaim, the team announced. Swaim entered the 2018 season with nine catches for 94 yards in his first three seasons but finished last season with 26 catches for 242 yards and a touchdown, becoming a starter for the Dallas Cowboys after the retirements of Jason Witten and James Hanna.

More than half of ESPN's top 100 NFL free agents for 2019 are either signed or committed to a team as the first week of the new league year closes. Now is the time when smart and/or patient teams dig in and start searching for bargains that can help them in defined roles. Who could those bargains be? Here are 15 of the top remaining players.

Pro Football Focus: Picking the most underrated, overrated signings

Thursday, March 14

Golden Tate goes full 'Jerry Maguire'

The new Giants receiver took to Instagram for a full re-enactment of the "Show me the money" scene from "Jerry Maguire." Tate assumes the roles of both Maguire and Rod Tidwell.

Cornerback Brian Poole has agreed to a one-year deal with the New York Jets. Poole started 21 of 47 games, including nine last season, since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2016.

ESPN Staff Writer With Buster Skrine signing with the Bears, the Jets found a new slot corner in Brian Poole, a non-tender free agent who played three seasons with the Falcons. He's signing a one-year, $3.5 million contract, per ESPN's Adam Schefter — more than he would've made on the Atlanta tender. Poole's coverage slipped a bit last season and he committed a career-high seven penalties (five accepted). He's an excellent blitzer, which makes him a good fit in Gregg Williams' pressure scheme. Right now, the top three corners are Trumaine Johnson, Darryl Roberts and Poole. Mo Claiborne is not expected to re-sign.

Free agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will return to the New Orleans Saints as a backup to Drew Brees, sources told ESPN on Thursday. He will sign a one-year, $7.25 million, fully guaranteed contract with the Saints, a league source told ESPN. Sources said Bridgewater, who is from Miami, listened to and did have interest in playing for the Dolphins, with whom he met Wednesday, before ultimately deciding against a move.

ESPN Staff Writer The Saints’ trade for Teddy Bridgewater last summer paid off. The 26-year-old QB agreed to stay in New Orleans as a backup and potential successor to Drew Brees rather than leave for an immediate starting opportunity with the Dolphins, according to ESPN’s Dianna Russini. It remains to be seen how long the 40-year-old Brees plans to keep playing – and how long the Saints will be willing to keep paying both QBs. But both sides obviously liked the fit last season after the Saints traded a third-round pick in exchange for Bridgewater and a sixth-rounder in late August.

The San Francisco 49ers have signed free agent receiver Jordan Matthews to a one-year deal. Matthews, 26, appeared in 14 games and posted 20 receptions for 300 yards with two touchdowns in Philadelphia last season.

ESPN Staff Writer The 49ers added to their needy receiver corps on Thursday, signing Jordan Matthews to a one-year deal. Matthews instantly becomes one of the biggest targets on the roster and could improve the team's woeful red zone offense, which ranked last in the league in 2018 in touchdown percentage. At 6'3, Matthews offers good size and 16 of his 22 career touchdowns have come inside the opponent's 20.

The Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to a three-year contract with defensive end Alex Okafor, a source told ESPN. Okafor will help the Chiefs' pass rush after the team released linebacker Justin Houston and traded linebacker Dee Ford to the San Francisco 49ers.

ESPN Staff Writer The Chiefs’ contract agreement with Alex Okafor gives them a veteran defensive end for their new 4-3 base defensive system. Okafor, who has 22 sacks in six NFL seasons with the Cardinals and the Saints, hasn’t been a prolific pass rusher. But they believe he can improve his production. He had four sacks in 16 starts last season for New Orleans.

The Oakland Raiders began clearing salary-cap space after their spending spree, releasing wide receiver Jordy Nelson and quarterback AJ McCarron on Thursday, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The release of Nelson comes after the Raiders spent big at the wide receiver position by acquiring Antonio Brown in a trade and then restructuring his contract to give him more money, and signing Tyrell Williams to a four-year contract.

The New York Giants began to try to fill the void left when they traded wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. by agreeing to a deal with Golden Tate on Thursday. It's a four-year, $37.5 million deal that includes $23 million fully guaranteed, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

ESPN Staff Writer Golden Tate is an interesting signing in Pat Shurmur's offense that includes a lot of crossing routes. He "turns into a RB with the ball in his hands," according to a scout who knows him well. Tate uses his size to his advantage and breaks a lot of tackles. He's an interesting complement to TE Evan Engram and WR Sterling Shepard. The Giants still have no shortage of weapons.

The Carolina Panthers have released left tackle Matt Kalil. The move comes after the team re-signed offensive tackle Daryl Williams to a one-year contract. The team also signed center Matt Paradis to a three-year contract.

ESPN Staff Writer The Panthers have released left tackle Mart Kalil, a source confirmed to ESPN.com. This clears $7.25 in salary cap space. It is a post-June 1 designation. Not a surprise considering Carolina re-signed tackle Daryl Williams. Ian Rapoport forêt reported.

Pro Bowl safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix agreed to a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears. Clinton-Dix, 26, spent the final nine games with the Washington Redskins last season after he was acquired in a trade with the Green Bay Packers.

ESPN Staff Writer Free agent safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix has agreed to a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and others. The Bears will be Clinton-Dix's third team since the start of the 2018 season. He'll have a chance to replace Adrian Amos, who signed a lucrative deal this week with the Green Bay Packers. Clinton-Dix, a 2014 first-round pick of the Packers, was a Pro Bowl player in 2016 but his play dipped since then. The Packers traded him to the Washington Redskins midway through last season.

The New Orleans Saints have agreed to a three-year contract with former New England Patriots defensive tackle Malcom Brown, a source told ESPN. The move comes after Drew Brees restructured his contract to create more than $10 million in salary-cap space for the Saints.

ESPN Staff Writer The Saints filled one of their biggest needs by agreeing to a three-year deal with former Patriots starting DT Malcom Brown, a source confirmed. The deal was first reported by the NFL Network. Brown (6-2, 320 pounds) should replace free agent Tyeler Davison as the Saints' starting nose tackle, but he also has the versatility to be a penetrating DT. He has 8.5 sacks in four seasons. The Saints have some depth concerns at their other DT spot, where starter Sheldon Rankins is recovering from a torn Achilles and backup David Onyemata could potentially face league discipline for a marijuana possession charge.

The San Francisco 49ers are signing former Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Jason Verrett to a one-year, $3.6 million deal, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Verrett suffered an Achilles tendon tear during a conditioning test a day before the start of Chargers' training camp last year, forcing the TCU product to miss the entire 2018 season.

The Seattle Seahawks solidified their offensive line Thursday by adding Mike Iupati and re-signing D.J. Fluker, according to multiple reports. Fluker's deal reportedly is for two years while Iupati's is for one year. Iupati's deal is pending a physical, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Antonio Brown is thanking Steelers fans in a message on electronic billboards in downtown Pittsburgh. The message appeared on billboards in the city Wednesday, the same day Brown was introduced by the Oakland Raiders.

The up-and-coming Cleveland Browns were willing to do what the fading New York Giants wouldn't: take a chance on Odell Beckham Jr.'s talent and hope his baggage doesn't weigh down the team. "I know Odell is very passionate," Browns general manager John Dorsey said on a conference call. "I know he is competitive. I know he can help this football team and if you get a chance to acquire a guy like that, you know what, take a shot at it. We acquired him."

The Dallas Cowboys lost Cole Beasley to the Buffalo Bills as free agency opened, but according to sources they have agreed to a one-year deal to keep Tavon Austin, who could help offset some of the production lost at the slot receiver position.

The New York Jets have released running back Isaiah Crowell, the team announced Thursday. The addition of free agent Le'Veon Bell, who agreed to a four-year, $52.5 million contract late Tuesday night, made Crowell expendable.

The New Orleans Saints created more than $10 million in salary-cap space by restructuring quarterback Drew Brees' contract -- which has become almost an annual ritual for a team that is routinely slammed tight against the cap. The team also has visits planned for Thursday:

ESPN Staff Writer While most teams started free agency with a flurry, the Saints are just getting warmed up – with some major decisions coming in the next few days. They have visits scheduled with top TE Jared Cook, standout edge rusher Ezekiel Ansah and defensive lineman Mario Edwards. And they're still waiting on a decision from backup QB Teddy Bridgewater, who visited the Dolphins on Wednesday. The Saints restructured Drew Brees' contract to carve out some salary-cap room for at least one or two more big moves to come.

Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who was traded from the New York Giants to the Cleveland Browns, thanked the Giants organization on Instagram:

The New York Jets are bringing back defensive tackle Steve McLendon:

ESPN Staff Writer By retaining locker-room favorite Steve McLendon, the Jets helped their depth on the defensive line. At 33, he's a first- and second-down player who can play 20 to 30 snaps a game. He's probably a better rotational player at this point in his career. He played 42 percent of the snaps in 2018, and saw a slight decline in his production: His work ethic is contagious, and he's great for team chemistry. The starting defensive line remains intact, with Henry Anderson also returning, but there could be a big addition in the draft, Quinnen Williams or maybe Nick Bosa.

Free-agent linebacker K.J. Wright isn't going anywhere, telling ESPN's Josina Anderson, "I am coming back to Seattle." Wright said he will receive a two-year deal for up to $15 million.

Former Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Donte Moncrief reached agreement on a two-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Moncrief signed a one-year contract worth a guaranteed $9.6 million with the Jaguars last March. He caught 48 passes for 668 yards, which were his highest totals since he caught 64 passes for 733 yards in his second season in 2015. That also was the last time he played in all 16 games.

Wednesday, March 13

The New England Patriots and free-agent receiver Phillip Dorsett have agreed to a one-year deal, a source confirmed to ESPN. The 5-foot-10, 192-pound Dorsett had been a valuable backup for the Patriots since being acquired in a 2017 trade from the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for quarterback Jacoby Brissett.

The Jacksonville Jaguars waived quarterback Blake Bortles on Wednesday, cutting ties with the player they took third overall in 2014 after five tumultuous seasons, just hours after signing free-agent quarterback Nick Foles. The move will cost the Jaguars $16.5 million in dead money but also save the team $4.3 million against the salary cap in 2019. Bortles was guaranteed to make $6.5 million this season and was due a $1 million roster bonus on the fifth day of the league year.

ESPN Staff Writer Releasing Blake Bortles without a post-June 1 designation means the Jaguars will absorb a $16.5 million dead cap hit and save only $4.5 million. Bortles was guaranteed $6.5 million this year. He also was due a $1 million roster bonus on the fifth day of the 2019 league year (Sunday), but obviously will not receive that now. The Jaguars now have four quarterbacks under contract for 2019: Nick Foles, Cody Kessler, Tanner Lee, and Alex McGough.

Even as they signal a commitment to a rebuilding plan, the New York Giants still do not plan to move on from 38-year-old quarterback Eli Manning this year, according to multiple sources familiar with their plan. Manning has one year left on his contract. He is scheduled to earn an $11.5 million salary, a $500,000 workout bonus and a $5 million roster bonus if he is still on the roster at 4 p.m. ET Sunday.

Saying his ultimate goal is to pass Jerry Rice as the NFL's all-time leading receiver, a mellow Antonio Brown also talked about bringing a higher level of accountability to his teammates while being praised for his legendary on-field work ethic in his introductory media conference as the newest member of the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday.

ESPN Staff Writer Mike Mayock said the Raiders did not get involved with Antonio Brown until after the Buffalo deal fell apart on Friday. Jon Gruden said they all got together in Las Vegas with Raiders owner Mark Davis that night.

Pro Bowl returner Andre Roberts is signing with the Buffalo Bills, sources told ESPN. Roberts, who turned 31 in January, proved last season that you're never too old to be a breakout star. After signing a one-year contract with the New York Jets for the veterans minimum (a total of $1 million, including bonuses), Roberts was selected to his first Pro Bowl after scoring on two returns -- one punt, one kickoff.

Linebacker Mychal Kendricks is returning to the Seattle Seahawks on a one-year deal worth a maximum value of $5.5 million, a source confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Kendricks, who had pleaded guilty to insider trading charges a week earlier and had been released by the Cleveland Browns, signed with the Seahawks in Week 2 last season while linebackers K.J. Wright and Bobby Wagner were injured.

The Miami Dolphins will meet with free-agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater on Wednesday evening, sources confirmed to ESPN. Bridgewater will have a decision to make between staying in New Orleans as a backup and potentially a long-term option to replace Drew Brees when he retires or leaving for Miami, where he would have an opportunity to start in 2019.

The San Francisco 49ers are signing running back Tevin Coleman to a two-year, $10 million deal, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Coleman, known as an explosive, big-play threat, averaged a career-best 4.8 yards per carry while starting 14 of 16 games for the Atlanta Falcons in 2018 as two-time Pro Bowler Devonta Freeman underwent season-ending groin surgery. Coleman finished the season with 800 yards and four touchdowns on 167 attempts, and he also caught 32 passes for 276 yards and five TDs. The 49ers also agreed to terms to re-sign defensive back Jimmie Ward on a one-year deal worth up to $5 million, league sources told ESPN's Nick Wagoner, confirming an earlier report.

The Kansas City Chiefs released safety Eric Berry at the start of the new league year. The move comes with the team set to add Tyrann Mathieu, who agreed to a three-year, $42 million contract with the team this week.

ESPN Staff Writer The signing of Tyrann Mathieu, as it turns out, does mean the end for Eric Berry with the Chiefs. They've released him, even though the salary cap savings will only be $1.5 million. What could have been? Berry was with Chiefs for nine years but missed almost all of four seasons because of injury or illness. Interested to see what is next for hm.

The Miami Dolphins continued their roster purge at the start of the league year Wednesday by releasing veteran guard Josh Sitton. Sitton is likely to wind up with the New York Jets, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. There he would reunite with former Dolphins and current Jets coach Adam Gase.

Right tackle Daryl Williams is re-signing with the Carolina Panthers on a one-year deal, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. This will be a prove-it year for Williams after an injury-plagued 2018 season.

The Chicago Bears signed guard Ted Larsen to a one-year contract Wednesday, the team announced. Larsen was released by the Miami Dolphins on March 7 in a salary-cap move.

Free-agent running back Adrian Peterson has informed ESPN's Josina Anderson that he is "going back to the Redskins." He said he will receive a two-year contract, and sources told ESPN's John Keim that the total value is $8 million. "I feel like we made some good moves to get to where we are trying to go," Peterson said.

ESPN Staff Writer The Redskins made a solid and necessary move by re-signing running back Adrian Peterson to a two-year deal worth up to $8 million. It's uncertain how much is guaranteed but there likely will be plenty of incentives. However, with Derrius Guice coming off a torn ACL - and having had knee issues in the past -- the Redskins need to be covered just in case he's not the same player. Or if it takes him time to handle a full load. Peterson would be a good mentor for Guice -- if he pays attention to the NFL's eighth all-time leading rusher. Peterson's work ethic and study habits impressed teammates and coaches in Washington last season. And he showed he could still play with 1,042 yards including 119 in a Week 16 loss at Tennessee. Peterson might not hit the consistent home runs anymore, but he can still elude defenders for extra yards. Peterson might be 34, but he still has something to offer.

The Atlanta Falcons informed former starting right tackle Ryan Schraeder of his release, agent Joel Turner told ESPN. Schraeder, who lost his job to Ty Sambrailo at the end of last season, had three years and $18.8 million remaining on his contract. His release saves $3.95 million against the Falcons' 2019 cap.

Former Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tyrell Williams intends to sign with the Oakland Raiders, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. He will become the Raiders' No. 2 receiver behind Antonio Brown, who was acquired in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday.

The Indianapolis Colts are re-signing cornerback Pierre Desir, a source told ESPN. Desir will be rejoining a cornerback group that also features Kenny Moore and Quincy Wilson.

Pro Bowl kicker Jason Myers is leaving the New York Jets and is expected to sign with the Seattle Seahawks, a source tells ESPN's Dianna Russini. The deal is for four years and worth $15-16 million dollars, according to the source.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed to a three-year contract extension with guard A.J. Cann, a source confirmed to ESPN. The deal is worth $15 million, according to NFL Network, which first reported the news.

Quarterback Tyrod Taylor plans to sign with the Los Angeles Chargers to a two-year contract, a source told ESPN, confirming a report by NFL Network. He will replace Geno Smith, who is also a free agent, as the Chargers' backup quarterback behind starter Philip Rivers.

The New England Patriots are bringing back cornerback Jason McCourty on a two-year deal, a source told ESPN. The Patriots had acquired McCourty and a 2018 seventh-round pick from the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a 2018 sixth-round pick on March 15, 2018.

Jamize Olawale signed a new contract with the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday. Olawale, 29, played in every game last season but did not have a carry and caught just two passes.

Former Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas intends to sign a four-year, $55 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens, a league source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The source said the deal includes $32 million fully guaranteed at signing, with $22 million coming in the first nine months. Former Saints running back Mark Ingram also intends to sign a three-year, $15 million deal with the Ravens, a source told ESPN's Schefter and Dianna Russini.

ESPN Staff Writer Ravens reach a four-year, $55 million deal with safety Earl Thomas, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. This gives Baltimore its best ballhawk since soon-to-be Hall of Famer Ed Reed left after the 2012 Super Bowl season. The Ravens' first major signing in free agency will fill the void left by Eric Weddle, who was cut last week. Thomas, 30 has drawn comparisons to Reed throughout his career because of his great range. He has intercepted 28 passes and gone to six Pro Bowls in nine seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. He always covered lots of ground in a one deep safety defense, which would allow safety Tony Jefferson to play closer to the line of scrimmage. The concern with Thomas is durability. His left leg has been broken twice (in 2016 and 2018), and he has missed 19 games over the past three seasons. But Thomas never missed a game from 2010 to 2015. After last year's top-ranked defense lost five key members in free agency, the arrival of Thomas is a step toward rebuilding it.

The Washington Redskins released linebacker Zach Brown and defensive lineman Stacy McGee, moves that create additional salary-cap space and signal a new direction at both positions, a source confirmed. Both moves, which save a combined $8 million, were long expected.

The New Orleans Saints locked up kicker Wil Lutz with a new five-year contract Wednesday that his agency Perla Sports Management described in a news release as an "NFL record deal for a place kicker."

The New England Patriots are finalizing a deal to bring back outside linebacker John Simon, and they've also signed a familiar face:

ESPN Staff Writer The Patriots and RB Brandon Bolden have reached agreement on a two-year deal, a source confirms. This is a homecoming for Bolden, who played for the Patriots from 2012-2017 before spending the 2018 season in Miami after being cut by New England right before the season. Had Bolden not left for Miami, he probably would have returned to the Patriots one week later after RB Jeremy Hill tore his ACL in the season-opener and New England needed reinforcements. Bolden, 29, is more of a reserve and strong special teams and locker-room presence. His return should be well received by teammates from a culture standpoint. NFL Network first reported the agreement between the Patriots and Bolden.

Thanks to the Odell Beckham Jr. trade, the Cleveland Browns have gone from 25-1 to 14-1 to win Super Bowl LIV at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook.

ESPN Staff Writer The Browns -- yes, the Cleveland Browns -- are now the No. 1 team in terms of money and handle for Super Bowl futures at DraftKings Sportsbook. Since the trade 82% of all money on the Super Bowl and 70% of all bets have been on the Browns at their book.

Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray, who could be the top pick in the 2019 NFL draft, is having his pro day later Wednesday.

ESPN Staff Writer All eyes in the football world will be on Norman, Oklahoma, today where QB Kyler Murray will be working out in front an estimated 65 or so NFL personnel.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell plans to sign with the New York Jets, a league source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Bell, who shocked the NFL by sitting out the entire 2018 season on the franchise tag after failing to agree on a new contract last summer, officially became a free agent when Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert opted not to put a franchise or transition tag on him for the 2019 season.

The Cleveland Browns reached an agreement with former Kansas City Chiefs tight end Demetrius Harris on a two-year deal, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. He had 12 catches for 164 yards and three TDs last season.

Tuesday, March 12

After the Cleveland Browns acquired star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. in a trade with the New York Giants, Cleveland general manager John Dorsey and agent Drew Rosenhaus mutually agreed to not follow through on a verbal agreement with wide receiver Breshad Perriman, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen. Perriman now will sign a one-year, $4 million deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the source said.

The Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to trade edge rusher Dee Ford to the San Francisco 49ers, a source confirmed to ESPN's Josina Anderson. The Niners are expected to give Ford a multiyear deal in the range of five years, $87.5 million, the source said.

The New York Giants have agreed to trade star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to the Cleveland Browns, a source confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Giants will receive a first-round pick in 2019 (No. 17 overall), the Browns' second third-round pick this year and safety Jabrill Peppers for Beckham, the source said.

ESPN Staff Writer Trading Odell Beckham Jr. signifies a true rebuild for the Giants. It also raises questions why didn't they do it before they signed him to a then-record contract seven months ago. Now they incur another $16 million in dead money and paid him $21.5 million for 12 games. Last year was the ideal time to rebuild if that is the direction the organization was going.

Spurned earlier in the day by linebacker Anthony Barr, the New York Jets filled their need for an edge rusher by agreeing with their top free agent, Henry Anderson, on a three-year, $25.2 million deal, a source confirmed to ESPN's Rich Cimini.

ESPN Staff Writer Henry Anderson, one of GM Mike Maccagnan's best finds, isn't going anywhere. Good move for both sides to continue the marriage — a three-year, $25M deal. You could argue he was their most effective defensive linemen last season. He recorded a career-high seven sacks despite being doubled on a team-high 60 percent of the snaps, per NFL Next Gen Stats. Anderson is a good fit in Gregg Williams' 3-4, and he can slide inside on passing downs. He's only 27, so he's in his prime years.

Former Miami Dolphins' defensive end Cameron Wake intends to sign a three-year, $23 million deal that includes $10 million guaranteed with the Tennessee Titans, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Free-agent cornerback Steven Nelson has agreed to a three-year deal worth $25.5 million with the Pittsburgh Steelers, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Nelson is expected to start opposite veteran corner Joe Haden.

Former New England Patriots wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson intends to sign a two-year deal with the Chicago Bears worth $5 million per year, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Former Seattle Seahawks guard J.R. Sweezy has agreed to a two-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals, sources confirm to ESPN. His addition gives the Cardinals a replacement for Mike Iupati, who is a free agent after finishing the 2018 season on injured reserve. Sweezy, who turns 30 in April, has played right and left guard during his seven-year NFL career.

The Cincinnati Bengals are re-signing linebacker Preston Brown, a source told ESPN's Dianna Russini. Brown signed a one-year deal worth $5 million last year to return to his hometown after spending the first four seasons of his career with the Buffalo Bills. Although Brown played every game and almost 98 percent of the defensive snaps in Buffalo, he played only seven games in Cincinnati.

ESPN Staff Writer The Bengals have re-signed LB Preston Brown, according to ESPN's Dianna Russini. It's hard to judge his 2018 season. Brown never really got a chance to show what he could do in Cincinnati after getting injured Week 1 and then ultimately ending up on IR for a different injury. Prior to coming to the Bengals, he had never missed a game. Brown took a one-year deal last year because he wanted to be in Cincinnati. If the Bengals don't make any other moves with the LBs, then the 2019 linebackers are WLB Vontaze Burfict, MLB Preston Brown and SLB Nick Vigil. But this certainly doesn't mean the Bengals aren't still looking or potentially thinking about drafting a linebacker, considering Burfict hasn't been very reliable or available for much of the last few years.

Former Arizona Cardinals safety Deone Bucannon has reached agreement on a one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal reunites Bucannon with new Tampa Bay coach Bruce Arians, defensive coordinator Todd Bowles and outside linebackers coach Larry Foote. All three were previously on the staff with the Cardinals.

The Atlanta Falcons are planning to sign guards James Carpenter and Jamon Brown, sources told ESPN. Carpenter, formerly of the New York Jets, intends to sign a four-year deal with the Falcons, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Brown is planning to join the Falcons from the New York Giants on a three-year deal, a source told ESPN's Vaughn McClure.

ESPN Staff Writer Falcons addressing the offensive line via free agency. Adam Schefter reports the team is signing former Jets left guard James Carpenter to a four-year contract. Carpenter has 97 career starts with both the Jets and Seattle Seahawks, primarily at left guard. As ESPN's Rich Cimini noted, Carpenter coming off shoulder surgery and didn't finish the season. Falcons also set to sign guard Jamon Brown to a three-year deal, a source told ESPN. Brown started eight games for the Giants at right guard last season. Falcons not content with what they have at guard next to Alex Mack with Wes Schweitzer more of a backup and Brandon Fusco coming back from a broken ankle. This probably means the Falcons will address defensive tackle with the 14th overall pick in the draft despite interest in Oklahoma's Cody Ford and others.

Former Denver Broncos center Matt Paradis intends to sign a three-year, $27 million deal with the Carolina Panthers, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Former Denver Broncos cornerback Bradley Roby told 9News in Denver that he intends to sign a one-year, $10 million contract with the Houston Texans.

Former Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman Rodger Saffold intends to sign a four-year, $44 million deal that includes $22.5 million guaranteed with the Tennessee Titans, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

ESPN Adding guard Rodger Saffold is a major boost to the Titans offense. Saffold was 3rd among all guards in ESPN's Pass Block Win Rate (min. 300 blocks) powered by NFL Next Gen Stats last season. Saffold held his blocks for at least 2.5 seconds 87.4 percent of the time.

The New York Giants intend to sign veteran safety Antoine Bethea, a source told ESPN, confirming a report by NFL Network. Bethea has a familiarity with Giants defensive coordinator James Bettcher's defense from their time together with the Arizona Cardinals.

The Detroit Lions have re-signed Zach Zenner to a one-year deal. Zenner probably will have a larger role than he did at the start of last season, when he was inactive for games. He could end up being the team's No. 2 or No. 3 running back along with pass-catching specialist Theo Riddick, sharing time behind Kerryon Johnson. Zenner also offers special teams value. Zenner had a market of a handful of teams but chose to stay in Detroit, the place he has been his entire career.

The Buffalo Bills intend to sign former Washington Redskins offensive tackle Ty Nsekhe to a free-agent deal Wednesday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal is for two years and worth $14.5 million with $7.7 million guaranteed, his agent Vincent Taylor said. Nsekhe was the Redskins' swing tackle the past four seasons -- never the full-time starter -- but that sort of money indicates Nsekhe will replace free agent Jordan Mills as the Bills' starting right tackle. That means Buffalo is likely to have at least three new starters along the offensive line this season: Mitch Morse (center), Spencer Long (right guard) and Nsekhe (right tackle).

Linebacker Jordan Hicks intends to sign with the Arizona Cardinals, a source confirmed to ESPN. NFL Network, which first reported the signing, reported that Hicks will sign a four-year contract worth $36 million with a $12 million signing bonus and $20 million guaranteed.

The Los Angeles Rams introduced their new safety on Tuesday:

ESPN The Rams introduced S Eric Weddle today. Weddle initially planned to visit several teams, then make LA and the Rams his last stop. The Rams convinced Weddle to visit them first. He spent several hours talking with Sean McVay, and decided he would be staying in LA. No other visits necessary.

After telling the New York Jets he intended to sign with them, linebacker Anthony Barr got cold feet, changed his mind and informed the Minnesota Vikings that he will be returning to Minnesota, a source confirmed to ESPN.

ESPN Staff Writer The Jets were dealt a surprise late Tuesday morning when they learned LB Anthony Barr was backing out of his agreement, a source confirmed. He's expected to re-sign with the Vikings. The Jets, prepared to pay him about $14M per year to be an outside linebacker in their 3-4 scheme, now find themselves in need of an edge rusher. Most of the good ones are off the market, but Justin Houston remains. And don't forget about the draft. Quite frankly, this isn't a crushing blow. I thought it was too much money for a guy with only 13.5 career sacks.

The Miami Dolphins are closing in on a two-year deal with receiver DeVante Parker, a league source told ESPN. The deal is worth up to $13 million if he hits every incentive included in the contract, but the base salaries are expected to be lower.

The Buffalo Bills intend to sign former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley and former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver John Brown, sources told ESPN. Brown will receive a three-year, $27 million deal, a source told ESPN, confirming a report by Adam Caplan. Beasley will sign a four-year contract worth $29 million, a source told ESPN's Josina Anderson.

ESPN Staff Writer Wide receiver was near the top of the list of the Bills' needs this offseason and it was largely filled within a span of minutes Tuesday when the team agreed to deals with free agents John Brown (Ravens) and Cole Beasley (Cowboys). Brown projects to add an element of speed to Buffalo's offense, while Beasley could provide a much-needed presence in the slot. Zay Jones (2017 second-round pick) and Robert Foster (2018 undrafted rookie) project to round out of the top four of the depth chart, although the exact pecking order remains to be seen and the Bills could still search for a more prototypical No. 1 receiver in the draft.

Former Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray intends to sign a four-year deal with the New Orleans Saints, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter Tuesday, spelling the end of the Mark Ingram era in The Big Easy. Before the Vikings drafted running back Dalvin Cook in 2017, Murray joined the team in free agency as the expected heir-apparent to Adrian Peterson.

Ryan Shazier will remain under contract in 2019, according to the Pittsburgh Steelers, who will place him on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list. His contract tolls on a minimum salary, giving him another year toward benefits/pension. This qualifies as the Steelers looking out for an injured player.

The Green Bay Packers added offensive lineman Billy Turner of the Denver Broncos, a source confirmed to ESPN. He has started at tackle and guard over the years. A source told Schefter that Turner gets a four-year, $28 million deal with a maximum value of $29.5 million. That includes $11 million in the first year.

Three-time Pro Bowl linebacker Thomas Davis intends to sign with the Los Angeles Chargers, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. He is the Carolina Panthers' all-time leading tackler (1,094) and in 2012 became the first player in NFL history to successfully overcome three ACL tears in the same knee.

Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is nearing a deal to stay with the New Orleans Saints, but no agreement has yet been reached, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday. Bridgewater, a former first-round pick, served as Drew Brees' backup with the Saints this past season.

The Houston Texans will be signing safety Tashaun Gipson, sources told ESPN's Dianna Russini. Gipson, who was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars on March 8 as part of the team's effort to create salary-cap space, started all 48 games since joining the team and had six interceptions and 16 pass breakups.

The New England Patriots have placed an original-round tender on suspended/restricted free-agent WR Josh Gordon ($2.025 million). This counts against the team's salary cap. So if Gordon is ever reinstated by the NFL, he would be looking at a one-year, $2.025 million contract. Technically, another team could sign him to an offer sheet, and if the Patriots didn't match it, the club would receive a second-round draft pick in return because that's the round in which Gordon entered the NFL. But draft-pick compensation, and financial terms of a contract, are naturally secondary to Gordon's health and well-being at this point.

In one morning, the Green Bay Packers made three moves to reshape their struggling defense. They agreed to terms with a pair of pass-rushers in Za'Darius Smith and Preston Smith, plus safety Adrian Amos, according to league sources.

ESPN Staff Writer The Packers filled their two biggest needs on defense in one day by agreeing to deals with former Ravens edge rusher Za'Darius Smith and former Bears safety Adrian Amos on Tuesday. In Smith, they get a player that one of their newest scouts, Milt Hendrickson, is familiar with. Hendrickson, the Packers new director-football operations, came from the Ravens' scouting department and saw first hand Smith's 18.5 sacks the last four years. In Amos, the Packers have an instant starter at safety, where they got so desperate last season that they moved cornerback Tramon Williams to the position at midseason.

Linebacker Terrell Suggs, the longtime face of the Baltimore Ravens' defense, is leaving for a one-year, $7 million deal with the Arizona Cardinals, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday. On Monday, Suggs told members of the Ravens that he was moving on, a source told ESPN's Jamison Hensley.

Former Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson intends to sign a three-year deal with the Cleveland Browns when free agency opens Wednesday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Cleveland's opening-day front four is now expected to be defensive end Myles Garrett, defensive tackles Larry Ogunjobi and Richardson and defensive end Olivier Vernon.

ESPN Staff Writer Lost in the excitement of the Browns revival in 2018 were the struggles of the defense. The Browns finished the season 28th in run defense, 21st in scoring and 30th in total defense. John Dorsey's defensive line additions of Sheldon Richardson and Olivier Vernon are a direct boost to that side of the ball, and boost a front that should be the unit's strength.

ESPN Writer Look out, AFC North! The Browns defensive line is absolutely stacked. Myles Garrett and Olivier Vernon on the edge. Larry Ogunjobi and Sheldon Richardson inside. Plus, versatile depth via Emmanuel Ogbah and Genard Avery.

Linebacker C.J. Mosley is expected to sign a five-year, $85 million deal with the New York Jets that has $51 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Mosley, 26, was the leading tackler for the NFL's top-ranked defense and was the Baltimore Ravens' most high-profile free agent this offseason.

ESPN Staff Writer The Jets struck again in a big way, adding Pro Bowl LB CJ Mosley to their new-look linebacking corps. He will join Anthony Barr and Avery Williamson, and it raises questions about the futures of Jordan Jenkins and Darron Lee — especially Lee. Mosley is a terrific player who will bring toughness and tackling ability, but the contract is exorbitant— five years, $85M, including a $51M guarantee. Normally, you have those contracts for elite pass rushers. Mosley is many things, but he's not that.

ESPN Staff Writer In a span of a week, the NFL's top-ranked defense has now lost its two signal-callers in C.J. Mosley and safety Eric Weddle along with its most tenured player in linebacker Terrell Suggs. Mosley, Weddle and Suggs have combined for 460 NFL starts and 17 Pro Bowls. It's a new era for the Ravens. There's a new quarterback in Lamar Jackson. There's a new general manager in Eric DeCosta. Now, there will be a new defense.

Monday, March 11

Former Miami Dolphins right tackle Ja'Wuan James intends to sign a four-year, $52 million deal that includes $33 million guaranteed with the Denver Broncos, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal will keep James as the highest-paid right tackle in the NFL.

New York Jets quarterback Josh McCown will take more time before deciding if he wants to play in 2019, he said in a statement released by his agent on Monday night. McCown, 39, has been contemplating retirement and will become a free agent this week.
