Welcome to the start of NFL free agency, one of the busiest periods not only of the offseason but of the entire year, as every team looks to rebuild its roster for the upcoming season.
Monday was expected to be busy, and it certainly was as several notable moves were made. Among them was quarterback Malik Willis agreeing to terms with the Miami Dolphins, wideout Alec Pierce signing a historic new deal with the Indianapolis Colts, former Indianapolis teammate Michael Pittman getting traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers, fellow wideout Mike Evans coming to terms with the San Francisco 49ers, and running backs Kenneth Walker III and Travis Etienne joining with the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints, respectively.
As usual, quarterback news is expected to make up a significant portion of free agency. Another notable quarterback move came Monday afternoon, when the Falcons signed ex-Dolphin Tua Tagovailoa to a one-year, $1.3 million deal to join 2024 top-10 pick Michael Penix Jr.
This week’s bombshell exploded Tuesday night when the Ravens backed out of their trade for Maxx Crosby due to medical concerns. Two first-round picks go back to Baltimore while Las Vegas is left with a disgruntled star pass rusher and concerns over his trade value. The Ravens weren’t without a star pass rusher for long, however, as they agreed to a four-year, $112 million deal with former Bengal Trey Hendrickson on Wednesday morning.
Two other notable transactions occurred later in the day when the Cowboys traded not one but two defensive linemen. Osa Odighizuwa was traded to the 49ers in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick, and Solomon Thomas was dealt to the Titans in an exchange that also included swapping late-round picks.
Thursday’s biggest news was Kyler Murray, whom the Cardinals released a day earlier, signing a one-year deal with the Vikings.
Below is a team-by-team rundown of every trade, signing and transaction from the first three days of NFL free agency.
