The Pittsburgh Steelers have bolstered their roster through free agency signings and a trade for wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. following Mike Tomlin's retirement and the hiring of Mike McCarthy as head coach. Analysts offer differing views, with some praising the additions and others questioning the lack of a rebuild. The team won the AFC North last season but failed to secure a playoff victory.
Tom Brady has inquired about returning to the NFL but faces a prohibition under league ownership rules tied to his minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders. The seven-time Super Bowl champion recently played in a flag football event, where he threw a touchdown pass, but reaffirmed his satisfaction with retirement. NFL policy, updated in July 2023, prevents owners from suiting up for their teams.

The Cleveland Browns adjusted the contract of defensive end Myles Garrett this week, postponing option bonuses originally due on March 25. The change shifts payments to seven days before the regular-season opener, reducing dead cap charges for a potential trade. Garrett, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, signed a four-year, $160 million extension last year after requesting a trade.
Tua Tagovailoa spoke publicly for the first time since the Miami Dolphins released him, discussing his new one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons and upcoming competition with Michael Penix Jr. The former first-round pick acknowledged his subpar performance last season and expressed optimism about regaining form. He also addressed lingering injury concerns after passing the Falcons' medical protocols.

The Dallas Cowboys submitted three separate trade offers for Las Vegas Raiders star pass-rusher Maxx Crosby before talks collapsed earlier this month, according to ESPN. The Raiders sought two first-round picks, a price only the Baltimore Ravens appeared willing to meet until concerns over Crosby's knee sidelined the deal. Crosby now wants to remain with the Raiders.
The New England Patriots intend to release backup quarterback Josh Dobbs following unsuccessful trade negotiations, according to NFL Media. This move reshapes the quarterback room behind starter Drake Maye, with Tommy DeVito positioned as the new backup. The defending AFC champions will save $3.7 million in salary cap space.

The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to a four-year, $168.6 million contract extension with wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, making him the highest-paid at his position with an average annual value of $42.15 million. This surpasses Cincinnati Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase's mark by nearly $2 million and includes over $120 million guaranteed, following Smith-Njigba's comments last month on deserving top pay after his standout 2025 season and the team's Super Bowl LX victory.
