2021 NFL Free Agent Tracker
Andrew Cooper analyzes all of the free-agent moves made in the 2021 NFL offseason and what they mean for fantasy owners heading into the season.

Pos | Player | Old Team | New Team | Stats | Related Players | BreakDown |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
QB | Dak Prescott | Dallas Cowboys | Dallas Cowboys | 2020: in 4 games before injury he was throwing for 422.5 yards per game on 50.25 attempts | Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, Blake Jawrwin | The four games he played last year was a small sample size but he was on pace to shatter the record for both pass attempts and yards in an NFL season. This deal makes him the face of the Cowboys franchise to go along with Zeke Elliott, Amari Cooper, Ceedee Lamb, Tyron Smith, and Zach Martin who are all locked up until at least 2024. The window is now. |
RB | Aaron Jones | Green Bay Packers | Green Bay Packers | 2020: 201 carries, 1104 yards, 9 TDs / 47 catches, 355 yards, 2 TDs | AJ Dillon | After not being tendered the franchise tag many expected Jones could be on the move given the Packers investment last season in second round pick A.J. Dillon yet Jones lands back in Green Bay to be the primary ball carrier for the Packers. |
TE | Jonnu Smith | Tennessee Titans | New England Patriots | 2020: 41 catches, 448 yards, 8 TDs | Devin Asiasi, Dalton Keene | New England has struggled to replace Rob Gronkowski since his retirement and subsequent trade to Tampa Bay. Jonnu fits the mold of what New England needs from a starting tight end which is a great run blocker as well as a threat in the passing game, especially in the red zone. Smith was used a lot as a blocker during his time in Tennessee and his contract sets the market for free agent tight ends this offseason. |
LB | Shaquil Barrett | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 2020: 8 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 57 comb tackles | Tampa Bay DST | Bruce Arians vowed to bring back a number of players during his Super Bowl parade celebration and so far he’s lived up to those remarks bringing back both Chris Godwin and now Shaq Barrett. |
OG | Pat Elflein | New York Jets | Carolina Panthers | 2020: 6 games started at guard | Christian McCaffrey | Elflein filled in for guard Alex Lewis during the second half of the season for the New York Jets. The stint earned him a shot with the Carolina Panthers. |
DB | Jalen Mills | Philadelphia Eagles | New England Patriots | 2020: 74 combined tackles, 1 INT, 1 FF | New England DST | The Patriots will reportedly sign Mills to a 4 year $24 million deal as soon as the league year officially begins. The Patriots are clearly aggressively pursuing free agents in 2021. |
LB | Matt Milano | Buffalo Bills | Buffalo Bills | 2020: 45 comb tackles, 1 INT | Buffalo DST | Milano battled injuries in 2020 and the defense struggled to contain opposing tight ends in his absence. He's a reliable cover linebacker and is reportedly being locked up for the next 4 years at $44M. |
LB | Matt Judon | Baltimore Ravens | New England Patriots | 2020: 50 comb tackles, 6 sacks | New England DST | Judon is coming off back to back Pro Bowl seasons for the Baltimore Ravens and provides some much need pressure off the edge for New England. The deal is reported to be 4 years $56M. |
P | Andy Lee | Arizona Cardinals | Arizona Cardinals | 2020: 58 punts, 2,600 yards | Arizona DST | The Arizona Cardinals bring back the 38 year old punter on a one year deal. |
DL | Davon Godchaux | Miami Dolphins | Miami Dolphins | 2020: 16 combined tackles in 5 games | New England DST | The Pats sure up their defensive line a bit by bringing in the run stuffing Godchaux from rival Miami. The former 5th round pick has 179 combined tackles in 52 career games. |
QB | Cam Newton | New England Patriots | New England Patriots | 2020: 8 Pass TD, 10 INT, 12 rush TDs | N'Keal Harry, Jonnu Smith, Jakobi Meyers | The deal is reportedly 1 year, $5 million and heavily laden with incentives, making it about as much of a "prove it" deal as you can imagine. It doesn't preclude New England from drafting a quarterback as well. |
LB | Dennis Gardeck | Arizona Cardinals | Arizona Cardinals | 2020: 16 comb tackles, 7 sacks | Arizona DST | Cardinals assigned a 2nd round restricted free agent tender to Gardeck. |
LB | Markus Golden | Arizona Cardinals | Arizona Cardinals | 2020: 33 comb tackles, 4.5 sacks | Arizona DST | Golden left the Cardinals to join the Giants in 2019 but was traded back to the Cardinals last season for a 6th round pick. He elects to stay in Arizona. |
OG | Kevin Zeitler | New York Giants | Baltimore Ravens | 2020: 16 games, 28 pressures, 2 sacks | Saquon Barkley, JK Dobbins | Easily one of the best interior offensive lineman available, the Ravens make an immediate splash poaching him from the Giants. Zeitler returns to the AFC North after previously playing for the Bengals and Browns. |
WR | JuJu Smith-Schuster | Pittsburgh Steelers | Pittsburgh Steelers | 2020: rec 97, 831 yards, 9 TDs | Diontae Johnson, Chase Claypool, James Washington | First thoughts on seeing this contract with the voided years is that the plan is to do a long term deal next year depending on the née cap. Voided years prevent a franchise tag. The slot man is back. |
C | Corey Linsley | Green Bay Packers | Los Angeles Chargers | 2020 stats: 4 pressures, 1 sack | Aaron Rodgers, Justin Hebert, Austin Ekeler | The Packers had to lose some guys with their cap situation and this is a tough one. Linsley was first team All Pro in 2020 and the 6th graded lineman at any position according to PFF. |
WR | Khadarel Hodge | Cleveland Browns | Cleveland Browns | 2020: 11 rec, 180 yards | Rashard Higgins | The Browns extended a restricted free agent tender to Hodge which should see him back for the 2021 season. |
RB | Kyle Juszczyk | San Francisco 49ers | San Francisco 49ers | 2020: 19 rec, 202 yards, 17 carries, 64 yards, 2 TDs | Raheem Mostert | Kyle Juszcyk becomes one of the highest earning fullbacks in league history with a $27 million extension to stay with San Francisco. |
LB | Ezekiel Turner | Arizona Cardinals | Arizona Cardinals | 2020: 14 comb tackles | Arizona DST | The Cardinals tendered the LB and special teamer as a right of first refusal free agent, likely bringing him back for 2021. |
DL | Romeo Okwara | Detroit Lions | Detroit Lions | 2020: 44 comb tackles, 10 sacks | Detroit DST | The deal is reportedly 3 years, $39 million to stay in Detroit after his breakout season with a career high 10 sacks. |
OT | Joe Thuney | New England Patriots | Kansas City Chiefs | 2020: 17 pressures, 2 sacks | Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Patrick Mahomes | The Chiefs released lineman Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz earlier this week so Thuney offers some much needed help for their offensive line. The deal is reportedly 5 years, $80 million. |
LB | Bud Dupree | Pittsburgh Steelers | Tennessee Titans | 2020: 31 comb tackles, 8 sacks, 2 FF | Tennessee DST | One of the biggest signings of the first day of the tampering period saw Bud Dupree to the Titans. His 2020 stats may not look overly impressive until you realize those were accumulated in only 11 games |
K | Dustin Hopkins | Washington Football Team | Washington Football Team | 2020: 79.4% field goal, 93.8% XP | Washington DST | This is reportedly a one year veteran minimum qualifying contract of $2,462,500 million with roughly $1.9 million fully guaranteed |
OT | Cameron Erving | Dallas Cowboys | Carolina Panthers | 2020: 6 games played, 8 pressures, 1 sack allowed | Christian McCaffrey | After All Pro tackle Tyron Smith went down, Cameron Erving was called into that role. He battled injuries himself but the Panthers saw enough from him to pair him with new acquisition Pat Elfien on the O-line. |
WR | Nelson Agholor | Las Vegas Raiders | New England Patriots | 2020: 48 rec, 896 yards, 8 touchdowns | Cam Newton | The speedy Agholor has primarily been used as a deep threat during his time with the Eagles and Raiders. He's had issues with drops but can offer explosive plays. His deal is reportedly 2 years, $26 million. |
WR | Kendrick Bourne | San Francisco 49ers | New England Patriots | 2020: 49 rec, 667 yards, 2 TDs | Cam Newton | There are reports that Julian Edelman might not only miss the start of the season but could miss the entire season. Kendrick Bourne played both slot and flanker for the 49ers and offers some help in that department. |
WR | Corey Davis | Tennessee Titans | New York Jets | 2020: 65 rec, 984 yards, 5 TDs | Sam Darnold, Jamison Crowder, Denzel Mims | The Jets agreed to give Corey Davis 3 years, $37.5 million with $27 million guaranteed which is a pretty sizable deal for the big split end. He should play wide opposite of Denzel Mims with Jamison Crowder in the slot |
RB | Carlos Hyde | Seattle Seahawks | Jacksonville Jaguars | 2020: 81 carries, 356 yards, 4 touchdowns | James Robinson | The reliable backup finds his way to Jacksonville. This should come as a relief to James Robinson owners as there were worse threats lurking in free agency. |
QB | Jameis Winston | New Orleans Saints | New Orleans Saints | 2020: 7 completions, 75 yards | Taysom Hill, Michael Thomas, Alvin Kamara | Jameis Winston will be back in New Orleans to compete for the starting job. The deal is reportedly for 1 year, $12 million. |
TE | Rob Gronkowski | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 2020: 45 rec, 623 yards, 7 touchdowns | Tom Brady, OJ Howard | Gronk receives a 1 year, $10 million deal to play with his pal Tom Brady as the Bucs continue their attempt to bring back as many pieces of their championship team as possible. |
WR | Phillip Dorsett | New England Patriots | Jacksonville Jaguars | 2019: 29 rec, 397 yards, 5 TDs | DJ Chark, Laviska Shenault | The former first round pick lands with the Jags after missing 2020. Given his speed and profile, he will likely be used to stretch the field and take the top off defenses. |
DL | Yannick Ngakoue | Baltimore Ravens | Las Vegas Raiders | 2020: 23 comb tackles, 8 sacks | Raiders DST | The pass rusher inked a 2 year $26 million deal with Las Vegas. He had previously been franchise tagged by the Jaguars before being traded to the Vikings and then the Raiders. The Raiders only had 21 sacks as a team in 2020, 3rd to last. |
DL | Trey Hendrickson | New Orleans Saints | Cincinnati Bengals | 2020: 25 comb tackles, 13.5 sacks | Cincinnati DST | The 2020 first team All Pro pass rusher leaves the cap strapped Saints for Cincinnati. The deal is reportedly for 4 years, $60 million. The Bengals were dead last in sacks last season so he's a much needed improvement. |
DL | Deatrich Wise | New England Patriots | New England Patriots | 2020: 49 comb tackles, 2.5 sacks, 1 FR, 1 TD | New England DST | Bill Belichick's spending spree continues bringing back Deatrich Wise Jr. on a 4 year, $30 million dollar deal. |
DL | Melvin Ingram | Los Angeles Chargers | Unsigned | |||
DL | Jadeveon Clowney | Tennessee Titans | Cleveland Browns | 2020: 19 comb tackles, 1 FF | Cleveland DST | Clowney was hurt in 2020 and only played 8 games which explains the stats. At 1 year $8 million, lining Clowney up opposite Myles Garrett now gives the Browns one of the more formidable defensive fronts in the league. |
RB | Kenyan Drake | Arizona Cardinals | Las Vegas Raiders | 2020: 239 carries, 955 yards, 10 TDs | Josh Jacobs | Well this one is unexpected. Even if Josh Jacobs gets suspended based on his DUI arrest, the deal is 2 years $11 mil that could go to $14.5 with incentives. That’s a good chunk of change for a “backup”. |
WR | Will Fuller | Houston Texans | Miami Dolphins | 2020: 53 rec, 879 yards, 8 TDs | Preston Williams, Mike Gesicki | Fuller put up those numbers in 2020 despite a PED suspension so the talent is there. Besides the suspension he’s also had issues staying healthy. A $1 year, $10 million dollar “prove it” deal makes a lot of sense. |
WR | Kenny Golladay | Detroit Lions | New York Giants | 2019: 65 catches, 1,190 yards, 11 TDs 2020: 5 GP, 20 catches, 338 yards, 2 TDs | Darius Slayton, Sterling Shepard, Evan Engram | Golladay possesses a unique size/speed combination that allows him to both beat the jam and be a deep threat. He’s a lock to play split end for the G-Men. With Saquon garnering so many targets, there’s likely only room for one more fantasy relevant pass catcher on the team. |
WR | Curtis Samuel | Carolina Panthers | Washington Football Team | 2020: 77 rec, 851 yards, 3 TDs | Ryan Fitzpatrick, Terry McLaurin, Logan Thomas | We probably should have seen this one coming - Curtis Samuel rejoins former coach Ron Rivera in Washington. The deal is for 3 years, $34.5 million. Beyond the receiving stats listed, some may be surprised to realize he had 41 carries for 200 yards and 2 TDs. Dynamic. |
OT | Trent Williams | San Francisco 49ers | San Francisco 49ers | 2020:19 pressures allowed, 4 sacks | Raheem Mostert, Jimmy Garapollo | Trent Williams's deal to return to the 49ers at 6 years $138 million makes him the highest paid offensive lineman in the history of the league. It runs until he is age 39. |
TE | Hunter Henry | Los Angeles Chargers | New England Patriots | 2020: 60 receptions, 613 yards, 4 TDS | Jonnu Smith, Cam Newton | In the biggest surprise of the offseason the Pats bring in both the top two free agent tight ends. The offense will likely look similar to the offense run with Gronk and Martellus Bennett or what the Eagles did with Ertz/Goedert. Both Jonnu and Henry got $12.5 mil per year, 4 years for Jonnu and 3 for Henry. |
WR | T.Y. Hilton | Indianapolis Colts | Indianapolis Colts | 2020: 56 rec, 762 yards, 5 TDs | Carson Wentz, Parris Campbell | 1 year $8 million is a team friendly deal to bring to veteran WR back. He'll line up as flanker across from Michael Pittman with Parris Campbell in the slot. |
WR | Sammy Watkins | Kansas City Chiefs | Baltimore Ravens | 2020: 37 rec, 421 yards, 2 TD | Myles Boykin | Fantasy gamers might not realize it but Sammy Watkins is a fantastic run blocker, grading out in the top 20 WRs in 3 of the last 4 seasons. That’s the real value to Baltimore and why they signed him for 1 year, $6 million with $5 million guaranteed. |
TE | Gerald Everett | Los Angeles Rams | Seattle Seahawks | 2020: 41 rec, 417 yards,1 TD | Will Dissly, Russell Wilson | Everett has played second fiddle to Tyler Higbee his whole career - now he finally gets a chance to be the man. It’s a 1 year, $6 million deal. |
RB | Leonard Fournette | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 2020: 97 carries, 367 yards, 6 TDs | Ronald Jones | The Bucs have done it - they brought back all 22 starters from the super bowl. Postseason Len returns for 1 year, $3.25 million. |
DL | Isaac Rochell | Los Angeles Chargers | Unsigned | |||
DB | John Johnson | Los Angeles Rams | Cleveland Browns | 2020: 105 comb tackles, 1 INT | Cleveland DST | Given their cap situation, the writing was on the wall for some Rams free agents and John Johnson ended up being a casualty. The Browns get a great safety, especially in the run game, for 3 years $33.75 mil. |
DB | William Jackson | Cincinnati Bengals | Washington Football Team | 2020: 45 comb tackles, 1 INT | Washington DST | The WFT poach the corner for three years, $42 million. Injuries have been an issue with him missing games in 3 of 4 seasons so far. |
DL | Carl Lawson | Cincinnati Bengals | New York Jets | 2020: 36 comb tackles, 5.5 sacks, 2 FF | New York Jets DST | The Jets land a rock solid pass rusher on a 3 year, $45 million deal with $30 million guaranteed. The Bengals had already agreed to terms with all pro pass rusher Trey Hendrickson so Lawson was expendable. |
DB | Anthony Harris | Minnesota Vikings | Philadelphia Eagles | 2020: 104 comb tackles | Philadelphia DST | It was a busy year for the veteran free safety with a career high in tackles - 40 more than he's ever had in his 6 year career. The year prior he had 6 interceptions so he's a nice piece at one year $5 million. |
DB | Marcus Maye | New York Jets | Unsigned | |||
OT | Alejandro Villanueva | Pittsburgh Steelers | Unsigned | |||
LB | Haason Reddick | Arizona Cardinals | Carolina Panthers | 2020: 63 comb tackles, 12.5 sacks, 6 FF | Carolina DST | That is not a typo. 6 forced fumbles in 2020. The valuable playmaking pass rusher signs a 1 year $8 million deal coming of his breakout season. |
DB | Shaquill Griffin | Seattle Seahawks | Jacksonville Jaguars | 2020: 63 comb tabkles, 3 INT | Jacksonville DST | The Jaguars have been some of the biggest spenders thus far during the tampering period and make another big splash with the cornerback at 3 years, $44.5 million. |
DB | Patrick Peterson | Arizona Cardinals | Minnesota Vikings | 2020: 61 comb tackles, 3 INT | Minnesota DST | After playing his entire 10 year career with the Cardinals, Peterson changes scenery. 1 year, $10 million to play for the Vikings. |
DL | Dalvin Tomlinson | New York Giants | Minnesota Vikings | 2020: 49 comb tackles, 3.5 sacks | Minnesota DST | A highly consistent interior defensive lineman, he's yet to miss a game in four years and he's been good for about 50 tackles and a couple sacks. The deal is 2 years, $22 million. |
RB | James White | New England Patriots | New England Patriots | 2020: 34 rec, 496 yards from scrimmage, 3 TD | Damien Harris, Sony Michel | It was a tough year for James White and not surprising after having to deal with his parents getting into a serious car accident mid season that killed his father. The Patriots bring back the reliable pass catching back for 1 year, just under $2.5 million. |
LB | Leonard Floyd | Los Angeles Rams | Los Angeles Rams | 2020: 55 comb tackles, 10.5 sacks, 1 FF | Los Angeles Rams DST | This is a big move by the Rams to bring back the edge rusher for their formidable front. The deal is for 4 years, $64 million so he was clearly a priority. |
DB | Xavier Rhodes | Indianapolis Colts | Indianapolis Colts | 2020: 42 comb tackles, 2 INT, 1 TD | Indianapolis DST | The 3x pro bowl and 2017 all-pro corner returns to the Colts. 1 year, $6.5 million. |
OT | Russell Okung | Carolina Panthers | Unsigned | |||
RB | Chris Carson | Seattle Seahawks | Seattle Seahawks | 2020: 141 carries, 685 yards, 5 TDs | Rashaad Penny | The deal for Carson is reportedly 2 years $10.425 million with a dreaded "void year" in the third year. Using the voided year is about as big of a "mortgaging the future" play as you can make. For fantasy football, Pete Carrol does love his guys so Carson should be a safe play once again. |
TE | Jared Cook | New Orleans Saints | Los Angeles Chargers | 2020: 37 rec, 504 yards, 7 TDs | Donald Parham, Justin Herbert | The deal is for 1 year $6 million. The 34 year old primary pass catching tight end is probably enough to crush any Donald Parham hype. |
C | David Andrews | New England Patriots | New England Patriots | 2020: 12 pressures, 2 sacks | Cam Newton, Damien Harris, Sony Michel | Arguably the most important returning player for the Patriots, the anchor of the O-line returns on a four year deal. |
RB | James Conner | Pittsburgh Steelers | Arizona Cardinals | 2020: 721 yards, 6 TD, 35 rec | Chase Edmonds | One year, $1.75 million is a fairly underwhelming contract for Conner considering a guy like Jamaal Williams got 2 years ~$6 million with $3.25 million guaranteed. He’ll likely take the running down work with Edmonds skewing more passing downs. |
WR | Rashard Higgins | Cleveland Browns | Unsigned | |||
WR | Antonio Brown | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Unsigned | |||
RB | Marlon Mack | Indianapolis Colts | Indianapolis Colts | 2019: 247 carries, 1,091 yards, I TDs | Jonathan Taylor | Marlon Mack tore his Achilles in the first game of the season in 2020 but the Colts seem to believe in him, bringing him back for 1 years $2 million. Taylor owners can’t be too pleased. |
OT | Matt Feiler | Pittsburgh Steelers | Los Angeles Chargers | 2020: 17 pressures, 2 sacks | Justin Herbert, Austin Ekeler | The Chargers brought in All Pro center Corey Linsley and now bring in Feilers who is flexible enough to play both tackle and guard. The deal is for 3 years, $21 million. |
RB | Devontae Booker | Las Vegas Raiders | New York Giants | 2020: 93 att, 423 yards, 3 TDs | Saquon Barkley | The deal is for 2 years, $5.5 million so should amount to a non-threatening depth play behind Saquon Barkley. |
DB | Ronald Darby | Washington Football Team | Denver Broncos | 2020: 55 comb tackles, 16 PD | Denver DST | Lot of action in the Broncos secondary. First they franchise tagged Justin Simmons and then they let safety Karee Jackson's option expire making him a free agent. Now they've brought in CB Ronald Darby on a 3 year, $30 million deal. Given their cap space it may not be the last move in the secondary for Denver. |
TE | Cethan Carter | Cincinnati Bengals | Miami Dolphins | 2020: 5 rec, 53 yards | Myles Gaskin | Carter is listed at tight end but he's more of a fullback/tight end hybrid that specializes in blocking off the edge. He signs a three year deal with Miami. |
DL | Mario Edwards | Chicago Bears | Chicago Bears | 2020: 17 comb tackles, 4 sacks | Chicago DST | The stats may not be eye opening until you realize he produced those on only 238 snaps. A solid piece to bring back for only 3 years $11.5 million. |
LB | Lavonte David | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 2020: 117 comb tackles, 1.5 sacks, 3 FF | Tampa Bay DST | The Bucs said they would bring back the tackle monster and they did. The deal is two years $25 million which feels like a team friendly deal for a dependable guy who has averaged 125 tackles a season over his 9 years and never missed more than 3 games in a season. |
OT | Daryl Williams | Buffalo Bills | Buffalo Bills | 2020: 29 pressures, 7 sacks | Josh Allen, Zack Moss, Devin Singletary | Three years, $28 million is an affordable deal for the offensive tackle. His stats might not look amazing but Josh Allen's playstyle also lends itself to pressure and sacks. |
WR | Chris Godwin | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 2020: 65 rec, 840 yards, 7 TDs | Tom Brady, Mike Evans | Franchise tag. You have to imagine Godwin wanted something similar to his teammate Mike Evans who is due over $16 million this year. As the WR tag is projected to be in the neighborhood, that might not necessarily be out of the question depending how much money the Bucs come out of free agency with. |
DL | Leonard Williams | New York Giants | New York Giants | 2020: 57 comb tackles, 11.5 sacks | New York Giants DST | Franchise tag. The Giants acquired Williams from their NYC brethren and he had his best season yet in 2020 with 11.5 sacks. Good enough for them to slap the tag on him to keep him around. |
OG | Brandon Scherff | Washington Football Team | Washington Football Team | 2020: 21 pressures, 3 sacks | Antonio Gibson | Franchise tag. This is the second time the WFT has franchised the 2015 5th overall pick. Seems like a smart move after having his best year yet last season, per PFF but the tag gets more expensive year after year so, at a certain point, you wish you did a long term deal. |
WR | Allen Robinson | Chicago Bears | Chicago Bears | 2020: 102 rec, 1,250 yards, 6 TDs | Mitch Trubisky | Franchise tag. This is a dicey one because ARob's camp claims he has no interest in signing the tag unless they do something at the QB position. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. |
DB | Justin Simmons | Denver Broncos | Denver Broncos | 2020: 96 cob tackles, 5 INT | Denver DST | Franchise tag. Simmons had 90 tackles for the third year in a row and he's had multiple interceptions every year he's been in the league. He's clearly worth the tag though I think everyone would prefer a long term arrangement. |
OT | Taylor Moton | Carolina Panthers | Carolina Panthers | 2020: 20 pressures, 3 sacks | Christian McCaffrey | Franchise tag. Unlike Robinson, Moton has already signed his franchise tender, agreeing to play this year at least on the tag. The rock solid lineman has started for the team three years in a row now. |
DB | Marcus Williams | New Orleans Saints | New Orleans Saints | 2020: 59 comb tackles, 3 INT | New Orleans DST | Franchise tag. Marcus Williams has been a solid player for the Saints causing multiple turnovers each year though he's also missed at least a game in three of four years. Perhaps that's why there is hesitation on a long term deal. |
DL | Roy Robertson-Harris | Chicago Bears | Jacksonville Jaguars | 2020: 10 comb tackles | Jacksonville DST | He was a rotational player for Chicago but, based on him getting 3 years $24.4 million with JAX, he should be expected to carry a heavier snap load. |
DB | Rayshawn Jenkins | Los Angeles Chargers | Jacksonville Jaguars | 2020: 84 comb tackles, 1 sack, 2 INT | Jacksonville DST | Another splash for JAX DST, they bring on the versatile, run stopping free safety for 4 years, $35 million with $16 million guaranteed. |
QB | Andy Dalton | Dallas Cowboys | Chicago Bears | 2020: 10 GMs, 2,170 yards, 14 TDs, 8 INTs | Mitch Trubisky, Allen Robinson | The deal is for 1 year $10 million. *Update* Trubisky is gone and Robinson has signed his franchise tender so it looks like Dalton is pretty locked into the starting gig. |
RB | Malcolm Brown | Los Angeles Rams | Miami Dolphins | 2020: 101 carries, 419 yards, 5 TDs | Myles Gaskin, Salvon Ahmed | The deal is reportedly 1 year, $1.75M, fully guaranteed. He's shown he can play on all three downs so should factor into the RB mix. |
QB | Jacoby Brissett | Indianapolis Colts | Miami Dolphins | 2019: 2,942 yards, 18 TDs, 6 INTs | Tua Tagovailoa | This is a 1 year $5 mil deal. Brissett is likely to be the strict backup to Tua with the exception of throwing a random Hail Mary here or there. |
QB | Ryan Fitzpatrick | Miami Dolphins | Washington Football Team | 2020: 9 GMs, 2,091 yards, 13 TDs, 8 INTs | Taylor Heinicke, Kyle Allen | The journeyman QB from Harvard once again lands in a position to compete for a starting job. The deal is for 1 year, $10 million. |
DB | Cameron Sutton | Pittsburgh Steelers | Pittsburgh Steelers | 2020: 30 comb tackles, 1 INT, 1 sack | Steelers DST | Nickel corner/slot cover guy Cam Sutton saw more snaps last year than usual with an injury to Mike Hilton. Hilton signed a deal to go to the Bengals so expect an even bigger role this year. The deal is for 2 years, $9 mil. |
DB | Mike Hilton | Pittsburgh Steelers | Cincinnati Bengals | 2020: 51 comb tackles, 3 INT, 1 FF, 8 TFL | Cincinnati DST | Hilton played a lot of nickel for the Steelers and is particularly valuable for his run stopping abilities. The impressive stats for 2020 were accumulated in only 3/4 of a season. He received 4 years $24 million. |
DL | Shelby Harris | Denver Broncos | Denver Broncos | 2020: 32 comb tackles, 1 FF, 2.5 sacks | Denver DST | The defensive lineman returns to the Broncos on a 2 year $27 million deal. He was having a bit of a breakout season before a knee injury cut it short. |
DL | Denico Autry | Indianapolis Colts | Tennessee Titans | 2020: 33 combined tackles, 7.5 sacks | Tennessee DST | After racking up 7.5 sacks in 14 games, the pass rusher earned a pay day and got it from the Titans. 3 years, $21.5 million. |
WR | Andre Roberts | Buffalo Bills | Houston Texans | 2020: 961 yards, 29 returns of 20+ yards | Houston DST | Andre Roberts has been top 5 in kick return yards for 5 straight years now including leading the league in 2018 and being second in 2020. He signs for 2 years, $5.95 million. |
DB | Jason Verrett | San Francisco 49ers | San Francisco 49ers | 2020: 60 combined tackles, 2 INT | San Francisco DST | The one year extension is reportedly for $5.5 million that turns to $6.5 million if he makes the Pro Bowl. Betting on himself with a short term deal. |
DL | Austin Johnson | New York Giants | New York Giants | 2020: 18 comb tackles, 1 sack | New York Giants DST | The Giants bring Johnson back for 1 year, $3 mil. He's more of a rotational piece at nose tackle. |
OG | James Hurst | New Orleans Saints | New Orleans Saints | 2019-2020: has started 7 games the last two seasons | Alvin Kamara, Latavius Murray | The Saints bring back the depth lineman at 3 years $9 mil. It's reported the contract can go as high as $13.5 million if Hurst were to become a starter. |
DB | Michael Davis | Los Angeles Chargers | Los Angeles Chargers | 2020: 68 comb tackles, 3 INT | Los Angeles Chargers DST | The CB returns on a deal for 3 years, $25.2 million that is reported to have $15 million guaranteed. A valuable piece in the run and pass game, he had 3 picks including a 78 yard pick-6 in 2020. |
DL | Carl Davis | New England Patriots | New England Patriots | 2020: 3 comb tackles | New England DST | The nose tackle suffered a hamstring injury shortly after signing with the team so didn't play much. More of a rotational nose tackle than an every down player. |
DL | Vincent Taylor | Cleveland Browns | Houston Texans | 2020: 12 tackles, 1 FR | Houston DST | Another rotational nose tackle signs as Taylor goes from the Browns to Texans for 1 year $2 million. He primarily subs in for run stop situations. |
LB | Kevin Pierre-Louis | Washington Football Team | Houston Texans | 2020: 56 comb tackles, 1 sack, 1 FF | Houston DST | The outside linebacker will move to Houston to defend the edge at 2 years, $8 million. |
QB | Tyrod Taylor | Los Angeles Chargers | Houston Texans | 2017: 2,199 yards, 14 TD, 4 INT | Brandin Cooks, Randall Cobb | This becomes far more interesting in light of Deshaun Watson announcing that he has some sort of allegation against him regarding improper behavior with a woman. The Texans now have a solid insurance policy. |
C | Alex Mack | Atlanta Falcons | San Francisco 49ers | 2020: 17 pressures, 1 sack | Raheem Mostert | The 49ers make two monster plays for the O-line extending Trent Williams and signing Alex Mack. Between the two players they've been to 14 Pro Bowls. Mack played with coach Shanahan both in Cleveland and Atlanta |
WR | Emmanuel Sanders | New Orleans Saints | Buffalo Bills | 2020: 61 rec, 726 yards, 5 TDs | Stefon Diggs, Gabriel Davis, Josh Allen | John Brown being released had some fantasy gamers hyped for Gabriel Davis but they may have to pump the brakes on that a little with the veteran coming to town. The deal is 1 year, $6 million. |
WR | A.J. Green | Cincinnati Bengals | Arizona Cardinals | 2020: 47 rec, 523 yards, 2 TD | Kyler Murray, Christian Kirk | End of an era for AJ Green in Cincinnati after a tremendous 9 years there. He joins DeAndre Hopkins, Christian Kirk, and Larry Fitz as part of Kliff Kingsbury's "Air Raid" offense that heavily features 4 WR sets. |
WR | John Brown | Buffalo Bills | Las Vegas Raiders | 2020: 33 fec, 458 yards,3 TDs | Henry Ruggs, Derek Carr, Bryan Edwards | The speedster battled injuries in 2020 but, when healthy, he was regularly playing 80-90% of the snaps. He should start right away for LV and serve as a mentor to their young WR corps. |
DB | J.C. Jackson | New England Patriots | New England Patriots | 2020: 40 comb tackles, 9 INT | New England DST | J.C. Jackson was the man oposite of Stephon Gilmore (and in his absence) racking up 9 interceptions and playing the second highest defensive snap share behind only Devin McCourty. The Patriots assigned him a second round tender which is risky but they can always match. |
RB | Lamar Miller | Washington Football Team | Washington Football Team | 2018: 210 carries, 973 yards, 5 TDs | Antonio Gibson, J.D. McKissic | Lamar Miller hasn't really played much since a devastating knee injury in 2018. He was signed with the WFT last year but never quite made it onto the field. This is a depth play. |
DB | Justin Coleman | Detroit Lions | Miami Dolphins | 2020: 20 comb tackles | Miami DST | The deal is for one year $2.75 million for the nickel corner that primarily lines up against slot receivers. |
TE | Anthony Firkser | Tennessee Titans | Tennessee Titans | 2020: 39 rec, 387 yards, 1 TD | Ryan Tanehill, Geoff Swaim | He was a restricted free agent so highly likely to come back anyway but they agreed to a deal rather than the tender. With Jonnu Smith, Adam Humphries, and Corey Davis gone, there are targets available and possibly an increased role out of the slot. |
DL | Johnathan Hankins | Las Vegas Raiders | Las Vegas Raiders | 2020:48 comb tackles, 1 sack | Las Vegas DST | Still waiting on the details of the deal beyond the fact that it's for 1 year but the big runstopper will be back in Vegas. |
OG | Kyle Long | Chicago Bears | Kansas City Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes, Clyde Edwards-Helaire | After taking the year off, Kyle Long is coming out of retirement to join the Chiefs and chase a ring. It’s a one year deal up to $5 million. | |
C | Rodney Hudson | Las Vegas Raiders | Arizona Cardinals | Chase Edmonds, Kyler Murray | This one is actually a trade but it’s a meaningful offseason move nonetheless. It’s Hudson and a 7th for a 3rd, | |
K | Matt Prater | Detroit Lions | Arizona Cardinals | 2020: 75% FG, 92.7% XP | Arizona DST | The long time Lion joins the Cardinals on a 2 years deal worth $7 million. |
LB | Kyle Van Noy | Miami Dolphins | New England Patriots | 2020: 69 comb tackles, 2 FF | New England DST | After being released by the Dolphins, Van Noy retinitis with Bill Belichick in New England. The deal is for 2 years, $13.2 million. |
K | Ryan Succop | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 2020: 90.3% FG, 91.2% XP | Tampa Bay DST | The Bucs bring back another key part of their championship squad with a 3 year, $12 million deal. |
QB | Mitchell Trubisky | Chicago Bears | Buffalo Bills | 2020: 2,055 yards, 16 TDs, 8 INT | Josh Allen, Allen Robinson | Well I guess that settles that. Trubisky not only gone from the Bears but to a team where he has virtually no shot at winning the starting job. |
TE | Kyle Rudolph | Minnesota Vikings | New York Giants | 2020: 28 rec, 334 yards, 1 TD | Evan Engram, Saquon Barkley | This is a surprisingly big deal for the veteran TE at 2 years $16 mil. Unless Engram is being traded, it looks like they are gearing up for a Goedert/Ertz, Boyle/Andrews style two tight end offense with Engram perhaps taking over for Golden Tate in the slot. |
WR | Breshad Perriman | New York Jets | Detroit Lions | 2020: 30 rec, 505 yards, 3 TDs | Tyrell Williams, Jared Goff | Breshad Perriman lands with the Lions as the discounted Kenny Golladay replacement at split end for 1 year, $3 million. |
WR | David Moore | Seattle Seahawks | Carolina Panthers | 2020: 35 rec, 417 yards, 6 TDs | DJ Moore, Robby Anderson | Moore signs for 2 years $4.25 million which is incredibly affordable. He’ll do his best to take over the Curtis Samuel role in the offense. |
RB | Theo Riddick | Las Vegas Raiders | Las Vegas Raiders | 2020: 5 rec, 43 yards | Josh Jacobs, Kenyan Drake | The pass catching back returns for $1.175 million, $50K guaranteed. |
RB | Jamaal Williams | Green Bay Packers | Detroit Lions | 2020: 119 carries, 502 yards, 5 TDs | DeAndre Swift, Kerryon Johnson | On top of the rushing stats, Williams had proved quite serviceable in the pass game. He joins a crowded backfield for 2 years, $7.5 million. |
WR | Keelan Cole | Jacksonville Jaguars | New York Jets | 2020: 5 rec, 642 yards, 5 TDs | Jamison Crowder | Unusual landing spot given the Jets already have a player that does what Cole does and does it well. Makes you wonder if perhaps there is something else going on with Jamison Crowder. The deal is 1 year $5.5 million. |
DB | Troy Hill | Los Angeles Rams | Cleveland Browns | 2020: 77 comb tackles, 3 INT, 2 FR | Cleveland DST | The cornerback managed to score an impressive 3 touchdowns in 2020 and earned himself a decent pay day this year. The contract is for 4 years, $24 million. |
DB | Kyle Fuller | Chicago Bears | Denver Broncos | 2020: 65 comb tackles, 1 INT | Denver GST | Kyle a Fuller re-unites with former coach Vic Fangio in Denver. 1 year, $1.5M. |
QB | Mike Glennon | Jacksonville Jaguars | New York Giants | 2020: 1,072 yards, 8 TDs, 5 INT | Daniel Jones | The Giants have their backup QB now. He lost all 5 games he started for the Jags. |
DB | Desmond King | Tennessee Titans | Houston Texans | 2020: 55 comb tackles, 1 FR | Houston DST | The former Charger and Titan signs for 1 year, $3.5 million. |
OT | Mike Remmers | Kansas City Chiefs | Kansas City Chiefs | 2020: 31 pressures, 2 sacks | Patrick Mahomes, a Clyde Edwards-Helaire | The Chiefs bring back their tackle on a deal at $3.5 that can increase to $7.5 million. |
DB | Lamarcus Joyner | Las Vegas Raiders | New York Jets | 2020: 66 comb tackles | New York Jets DST | Joyner signed with the Jets for $4.5 million. Per reports, he gets to play his preferred position of fee safety over slot corner. |
WR | Donte Moncrief | New England Patriots | Houston Texans | 2018: 48 rec, 668 yards, 3 TDs | Randall Cobb | The Texans attempt to replace Will Fuller with journeyman Donte Moncrief. There have been flashes. It’s a 1 year deal. |
LB | Tyus Bowser | Baltimore Ravens | Baltimore Ravens | 2020: 34 comb tackles, 2 sacks, 3 INT | Baltimore DST | They key to the outside linebacker's game is versatility. On top of setting the end he's registered sacks, forced fumbles, interceptions, and even a touchdown. The deal locks him up for 4 years at $22 million. |
DB | Chidobe Awuzie | Dallas Cowboys | Cincinnati Bengals | 2020: 38 comb tackles, 1 INT | Cincinnati Bengals DST | The cornerback has been quite strong in the run game, registering 70+ tackles in back to back seasons in 2018 and 2019. He was on pace for it again in 2020 before getting hurt and only playing 8 games. The deal is 3 years $21.75 mil as the Bengals continue to beef up their defense. |
DL | Sheldon Rankins | New Orleans Saints | New York Jets | 2020: 20 comb tackles, 1.5 sacks, 1 FF | New York Jets DST | At this point its clear that the Jets will convert to the 4-3 defense Robert Saleh used in San Francisco after over a decade as a 3-4 defense. They give Rankings 2 years, $17 mil to be one of those interior defensive linemen. |
WR | Jamal Agnew | Detroit Lions | Jacksonville Jaguars | 2020: 13 rec, 89 yards, 6 rush 33 yards | Jacksonville DST | 3 years, $14.25 million may seem like a steep price until you realize that he had the 3rd most kick return yards while also being top 15 in punt return yards. Only Andre Roberts had more combined return yards. He was first team, all pro as a punt returner in 2017. |
DB | Jourdan Lewis | Dallas Cowboys | Dallas Cowboys | 2020: 59 comb tackles, 2 sacks | Dallas DST | The Cowboys lost CB Chidobe Awuze to the Bengals but retain Jourdan Lewis. He primarily plays against the slot so they still need an outside CB opposite Trevon Diggs unless they plan to change the way they use Lewis. The deal is 3 years $13.5 million. |
WR | Marvin Jones | Detroit Lions | Jacksonville Jaguars | 2020: 76 rec, 978 yards, 9 TDs | Collin Johnson, Trevor Lawrence | Given how the veteran has been used throughout his career, it seems likely the setup will be DJ Chark at split end, Marvin at flanker, and Laviska Shenault in the slot. The deal is 2 years, $12.5 million. |
WR | Josh Reynolds | Los Angeles Rams | Tennessee Titans | 2020: 52 rec, 618, 2 TDs | Ryan Tannehill, Anthony Firkser | With the exit of Brandin Cooks, Reynolds finally got his chance to start and just in time to sign a new 1 year deal. He played 74.5% of his snaps out wide for the Rams so common sense would dictate that he play the Corey Davis role at split end. |
WR | DeSean Jackson | Philadelphia Eagles | Los Angeles Rams | 2020: 4 games, 14 rec, 236 yards, 1 TD | Van Jefferson, Matthew Stafford | The Rams find their replacement for the Brandin Cooks/Josh Reynold field stretcher role. DJax's ability to line up at split end, beat the jam, and go deep will open up the flexibility underneath for flanker Robert Woods and slot guy Cooper Kupp. Van Jefferson will be the "next man up" one again. It's a 1 year deal for the 35 year old. |
RB | Mike Davis | Carolina Panthers | Atlanta Falcons | 2020: 165 carries, 942 yardds, 6 TDs | Todd Gurley, Ito Smith, Brian Hill | Here's one that makes a lot of sense. Mike Davis for Falcons, 2 years $5.5. He showed he can carry the load backing up CMC and he brings over valuable intel from a division rival. Have to imagine Davis factors in on early down with Todd Gurley in more of a third down, Devonta Freeman role. |
DB | Adoree' Jackson | Tennessee Titans | New York Giants | 2020: 12 omb tackles | New York Giants DST | Jackson has proven to be a reliable corner when healthy, racking up 70+ tackles in each of his first two seasons. The key words being "when healthy" as he has missed significant time the last two seasons. The deal is 3 years $39 million so not a discount. |
DL | Kerry Hyder | San Francisco 49ers | Seattle Seahawks | 2020: 49 comb tackles, 8.5 sacks, 1 FR | Seattle DST | To start his career Hyder was more of a rotational pass rushing piece only starting 2 games over his first 5 seasons though he did have a bit of a breakout in 2016 with 8 sacks for the Lions. As a full time starter this year with the 49ers he recaptured that with 8.5 sacks and earned himself a 3 year, $16.5 million contract with the division rival. |
LB | Samson Ebukam | Los Angeles Rams | San Francisco 49ers | 2020: 31 comb tackles, 4.5 sacks, 1 FF | San Francisco DST | The 49ers sign the outside linebacker to a 2 year $12 million deal. Not only do they bring over some intel from a division rival but the SF Chronicle reports that they believe he could become a more polished player under the 49ers coaching staff. |
DL | Benson Mayowa | Seattle Seahawks | Seattle Seahawks | 2020: 24 comb tackles, 6 sacks, 2 FF | Seattle DST | On top of bringing in Kerry Hyder, the Seahawks also bring back Mayowa in a clear bid to beef up their pass rush. The deal is 2 years, $8.8 million. |
DL | Morgan Fox | Los Angeles Rams | Carolina Panthers | 2020: 27 comb tackles, 6 sacks, 1 FF | Carolina DST | The Rams pass rush gets slightly less formidable as the rotational pass rusher leaves for a bigger opportunity. The deal is 2 years, $8.1 million. |
P | Cameron Johnston | Philadelphia Eagles | Houston Texans | 2020: 71 punts, 46.7 Y/P, long 66 | Houston DST | Perhaps with the all the turmoil in Houston the free agent punter saw a lot of opportunity for work. The deal is 3 years $8 mil. |
DL | Adam Butler | New England Patriots | Miami Dolphins | 2020: 35 comb tackles, 4 sacks | Miami DST | The Pats and Dolphins essentially swap defensive lineman with Davon Godchaux going to NE and Butler to Miami. Given what the Pats paid Godchaux, they clearly preferred him. The deal is 2 years $7.5 million. |
TE | Nick Vannett | Denver Broncos | New Orleans Saints | 2020: 14 rec, 95 yards, 1 TD | Adam Trautman, Alvin Kamara | Vannett is reportedly joining the Saints on a three year deal. This is good news for dynasty owners of both Adam Trautman and Alvin Kamara. They aren't just going to have one tight end on the roster so replacing Jared Cook and Josh Hill with a blocking TE rather than a pass catcher increases the value of the rest of the players who do catch passes. |
TE | Marcedes Lewis | Green Bay Packers | Green Bay Packers | 2020: 10 rec, 107 ards, 3 TDs | Robert Tonyan, Aaron Jones | Blocking tight end Marcedes Lewis is back on a 2 year, $8 million deal. In the pass game he's more of a threat for a random TD here or there than anything so he doesn't hurt Robert Tonyan. |
OT | Riley Reiff | Minnesota Vikings | Cincinnati Bengals | 2020: 11 pressures, 1 sack | Joe Mixon, Joe Burrow, Dalvin Cook | Riley Reiff played left tackle for the Vikings but the Bengals have first round pick Jonah Williams (who has yet to play a full season). The deal is 1 year $7.5 million. The Vikings have now lost their left tackle and blocking TE Kyle Rudolph which isn't great news for Dalvin Cook. |
DL | Henry Anderson | New York Jets | New England Patriots | 2020 Stats: 42 comb, 0.5 sacks | New England DST | The Jets are converting to a 4-3 so they released the 3-4 DE specialist. He should fit in right in with New Englands 3-4 base. The deal is 2 years, $7 million. |
OT | Kendall Lamm | Cleveland Browns | Tennessee Titans | 2020: 5 pressures, 1 sack | Derrick Henry, Ryan Tannehill | The Titans bring in veteran Kendall Lamm to play right tackle. The deal is 2 years $6.8 million. |
DB | Justin Hardee | New Orleans Saints | New York Jets | 2020: 8 comb tackles | New York Jets DST | Not to be confused with wide reciever Justin Hardy, Justin Hardee is a former college WR turned pro CB. He primarily plays special teams and the deal is for 3 years, $6.75 million. |
DL | Larry Ogunjobi | Cleveland Browns | Cincinnati Bengals | 2020: 46 comb tackles, 2.5 sacks, 1 FF | Cincinnati DST | Interior players who can get to the quarterback can be difficult to find so Ogunjobi is a solid signing for the Bengals. The deal is 1 year, $6.2 million. |
DB | Kevin King | Green Bay Packers | Green Bay Packers | 2020: 57 com b tackles, 1 FF, 1 FR | Green Bay DST | Kevin King had some high profile plays that didn't go his way this year but the year before he had 5 interceptions. The Packers try him at CB again for 1 year $6 mil. |
LB | Jarrad Davis | Detroit Lions | New York Jets | 2020: 46 omb, sacks | New York Jets DST | Davis was a full time starter in his first couple years racking up ~100 tackles a season but was more of a rotational player under Matt Patricia. The Jets are converting to a 4-3 defense so I imagine he plays inside linebacker for them. The deal is 1 year $5.5 million. |
LB | Christian Kirksey | Cleveland Browns | Green Bay Packers | 2020: 77 comb tackles, 2 sack, 2 INT | Green Bay DST | There was a time when Kirksey was a tackle machine, racking up back to back seasons with 148 and 138 tackles. He's battled injuries as of late but still had 77 tackles in 11 games last year. The deal is 1 year $4.5 million. |
DL | Carlos Dunlap | Seattle Seahawks | Seattle Seahawks | 2020: 32 comb tackles, 6 sacks | Seattle DST | His 87.5 sacks puts him at 57th all time, just behind Jason Pierre-Paul. The Seahawks traded for the talented pas rushed last season and liked him enough to lock him up for another 2 years, $16.6 million. |
DL | Takkarist McKinley | Las Vegas Raiders | Cleveland Browns | 2020: 8 comb tackles, 1 sack | Cleveland DST | He battled a groin injury for most of 2020 but he had 16.5 sacks and 21 tackles for a loss over his first 3 seasons. He signs with the Browns for 1 year, $4.25 million. |
DB | Keanu Neal | Atlanta Falcons | Dallas Cowboys | 2020: 100 comb tackles, 1 INT, 1 FR | Dallas DST | Injuries have been an issue for Neal with him only playing 4 games over the course of 2018 and 2019 while also missing a game in this past season. But in his three healthy season he’s been a tackle machine registering over 100 tackles in each. Assuming he can start healthy, 1 year $4 million would be a heck of a bargain. |
DB | Ahkello Witherspoon | San Francisco 49ers | Seattle Seahawks | 2020: 20 comb tackles, 1 INT | Seattle DST | The third round pick struggled to stay in the starting lineup for SF being benched on multiple occasions including the Super Bowl. He gets a fresh start for Seattle at 1 year, $4 million. |
TE | Dan Arnold | Arizona Cardinals | Carolina Panthers | 2020: 32 rec, 431 yards, 4 TDs | Ian Thomas | Ian Thomas ran the 9th most routes of any tight end but finished with the 47th most receptions. It would be an understatement to say he ‘wasn’t involved much”. Arnold signs for 2 years, $6 million to help out in the pass game. |
DB | Janoris Jenkins | New Orleans Saints | Tennessee Titans | 2020: 55 comb tackles, 3 INT, 1 TD | Tennessee DST | Tennessee lost Adoree Jackson to Washington but pick up "Jackrabbit" for two years, $15 million to fill that need. |
DL | Jarran Reed | Seattle Seahawks | Kansas City Chiefs | 2020: 38 comb tackles, 6.5 sacks, 1 FF | Kansas City DST | The Chiefs poach the pass rushing interior lineman on a 1 year $5.5 million deal. With 6.5 sacks last year and a 10.5 sack season on his resume he should help in the pressure department. |
DB | Kareem Jackson | Denver Broncos | Denver Broncos | 2020: 89 comb tackles, 1 INT, 2 FR | Denver DST | The Broncos retain the run stopping strong safety for 1 year, $5 million. He now has four years in a row registering at least 70 tackles though he is getting up there, having just turned 33 last week. |
WR | Tyrell Williams | Las Vegas Raiders | Detroit Lions | 2019: 42 rec, 651 yards, 6 TD | Breshad Perriman, Jared Goff | Tyrell missed the entire 2020 with a torn labrum so the stats to the left are from 2019. The Lions have the most dead cap in the league yet are trying to accumulate comp picks and roll money to the future so 1 year, $4 million for their top WR fits the skeleton crew profile of what they are trying to accomplish - getting a high draft pick in 2022. |
DL | Malik Jackson | Philadelphia Eagles | Cleveland Browns | 2020: 28 comb tackles, 2.5 sacks, 1 FR | Cleveland DST | The 10 year veteran DT joins the Browns front for 1 year, $3.75 million. His value has primarily been generating pressure from the interior on passing downs and should fit their rotation nicely. |
DB | A.J. Bouye | Denver Broncos | Carolina Panthers | 2020: 23 comb tackles, 6 PD | Carolina DST | Bouye was hurt in 2020 so only played half the season which has been the knock on him - in 8 years now he has played 16 games one time. He goes to Carolina for 2 years, $7 million. |
RB | Phillip Lindsay | Denver Broncos | Houston Texans | 2020: 118 rush, 502 yards, 1 TD | David Johnson | Lindsay has been one of the more successful undrafted free agents, putting up two 1,000 yard seasons with the Broncos. Pass blocking has been the primary issue for the smaller back, grading outside the top 80 RBs all three years and as low as RB141. He signs for 1 year, $3.25 million. |
DB | Malcolm Butler | Tennessee Titans | Arizona Cardinals | 2020: 100 comb tackles, 4 INT | Arizona DST | The former super bowl hero was more involved than he's ever been last year registering 100 tackles and tying a career high 4 picks. He signs with the Cardinals for 1 year, $3.25 million. |
RB | Mark Ingram | Baltimore Ravens | Houston Texans | 2020: 72 carries, 299 yards, 2 TDs | David Johnson, Phillip Lindsay | The Houston Texans have now accumulated one of the more annoying committee backfields for fantasy on a team projected to come in dead last by Vegas. Awesome. One year, $2.5 million. |
RB | Mike Boone | Minnesota Vikings | Denver Broncos | 2020: 69 yards from scrimmage, 1 TD | Melvin Gordon | Boone never really got a chance to play much in Minnesota behind one of the best RBs (Dalvin Cook) and one of the best backups (Alexander Mattison). He'll see more daylight in Denver behind Melvin Gordon with Phillip Lindsay gone. The deal is reportedly 2 years, $3.85 million. |
RB | Giovani Bernard | Cincinnati Bengals | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 2020: 771 yards from scrimmage, 6 TDs, 47 rec | Leonard Fournette, Ronald Jones, Keshawn Vaughn | Gio was simply owed too much money this year and was clearly not willing to negotiate. His unique skillset featuring pass blocking, screens, and dump passes should be reminiscent of James White for Tom Brady in Tampa. |
WR | Adam Humphries | Tennessee Titans | Washington Football Team | 2020: 23 rec, 228 yards, 2 TDs | Kelvin Harmon, Cam Sims | Humphries played less than half the season battling both COVID and a concussion. He signs for 1 year, $1.19 million and will compete for slot duties. |
WR | Demarcus Robinson | Kansas City Chiefs | Kansas City Chiefs | 2020: 45 rec, 466 yards, 3 TDs | Mecole Hardman, Byron Pringle | There is a void left by Sammy Watkins at split end for the Chiefs which should lead one or both of Robinson and Byron Pringle to get more playing time. He returns for 1 year, just over $1.25 million. |
WR | Kalif Raymond | Tennessee Titans | Detroit Lions | 2020: 475 return yards, 184 yards from scrimmage | Jared Goff, Detroit DST | Raymond's primary role with the Titans was returning kicks and, with the departure of Jamaal Agnew, he's in line for that role with Detroit. One year, $1.1275 million. |
WR | Willie Snead | Baltimore Ravens | Las Vegas Raiders | 2020: 33 rec, 432 yards, 3 TDs | Hunter Renfrow | The slot man is primarily known for his blocking ability so hasn't been much of a factor in fantasy since he was with the Saints. He signs for the veteran minimum of around $990K with up to $1.1275 in bonuses. |
