The Cowboys signed RB Javonte Williams to a one-year, $3 million contract.

Fantasy Impact: Williams lands a prove-it deal in Dallas with a backfield that is currently wide open. It will be worth monitoring to see if the Cowboys bring in a running back early in the NFL Draft in April.

The Bills agreed to terms with EDGE Michael Hoecht to a three-year contract. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Hoecht can earn up to $24 million in the deal. He played a limited role with the Rams last season, but logged 6.5 sacks two years ago. He'll likely play a rotational role on the Bills defensive line.

Cardinals signed LB Akeem Davis-Gaither to a two-year, $11 million contract.

Fantasy Impact: Davis-Gaither is likely to maintain more of a role on special teams as he did with the Bengals.

The Patriots signed Mack Hollins to a two-year, $8.4 million contract. (Source: Mike Garafolo on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Hollins was able to show flashes last season catching passes from Josh Allen. He also previously played under Patriots OC Josh McDaniels. Hollins can earn up to $10.4 million on the new contract.

The Giants re-signed WR Darius Slayton to a three-year, $36 million contract.

Fantasy Impact: Slayton remains with the Giants for at least three more seasons. He got a big contract and will likely remain in his deep threat role for the Giants offense.

The Bengals agreed to terms with LB Oren Burks to a two-year, $5 million contract. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Burks spent last season on a one-year deal with the Eagles. He played a starting role in the playoffs after spending most of the regular season on special teams. He'll likely play more of a consistent role on defense with the Bengals.

The Panthers re-signed CB Mike Jackson to a two-year, $14.5 million contract.

Fantasy Impact: Jackson landed with Carolina in a trade from Seattle before the start of last season. He remains with the Panthers for two more years.

The Browns released DT Dalvin Tomlinson. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Tomlinson will be free to sign with any team when the new league year begins. The move will create $6.4 million in cap space for Cleveland. He should have no problem finding a new team in free agency.

Cardinals signed EDGE Josh Sweat to a four-year, $76.4 million contract. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The deal includes $41 million guaranteed. Sweat reunites with former Eagles DC Jonathan Gannon. He is expected to help upgrade the Cardinals pass rush that struggled all of last season.

Veteran running back Samaje Perine is returning to the Cincinnati Bengals on a two-year deal worth up to $3.8 million. (Source: Mike Garafolo on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: With Zack Moss recovering from a neck injury, leaving an uncertain timeline and future, Perine adds a third-down/passing-down back to complement Chase Brown in 2025. The Bengals did not have a strong second option after Moss went down, and Perine returns to Cincinnati after spending time in Denver and Kansas City as a pass-catching specialist (73 carries and 78 receptions over his previous two seasons).

Dyami Brown has agreed to a one-year, $10 million deal that could be worth up to $12 million with the Jacksonville Jaguars. (Source: Mike Garafolo on X)

Fantasy Impact: Jacksonville needed to bolster its passing game options with Evan Engram and Christian Kirk no longer on the team. Brown has never been a prolific option at receiver, but he’s coming off a career best 308 receiving yards in 2024 with Washington and a fantastic playoff stretch that saw him accumulate an additional 229 yards.

Joshua Palmer has agreed to a three-year, $36 million deal with the Buffalo Bills. (Source: Ian Rapoport on X)

Fantasy Impact: Palmer is a a solid addition to the Bills roster. Maybe not spectacular, but a decent wideout to bolster the team behind Khalil Shakir while Keon Coleman continues to develop. In LA last year, he caught 39 passes for 584 yards and a score.

Veterean quarterback Jameis Winston is reportedly in conversations with the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Chargers to join in a back up role. (Source: Josina Anderson on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: After spending time in Tampa, New Orleans, and Cleveland, it seems Winston could be ready for the West Coast after reportedly being in talks with two California teams looking for a backup option. While Winston can be unreliable when he plays, he is a well-liked locker room presence and has the capabilities to flip a game with his aggressive style of play, making him an intriguing QB2 for NFL teams.

The New York Jets are signing quarterback Justin Fields to a two-year deal worth $40 million that includes $30 million in guaranteed money. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Fields spent 2024 with the Pittsburgh Steelers where he started the first half of the season before being relegated upon Russell Wilson's return. Now, he is on his way out, joining his third team in as many years. Fields gets a fresh start in a new city where he could potentially be the QB1 in 2025, hoping to capitalize off of a successful campaign where he improved his efficiency in a promising way. He could be an intriguing option in fantasy leagues in 2025 given his two-way ability.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are splitting ways with veteran defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Ogunjobi has spent the last three seasons with Pittsburgh, joining the team after his previous stints in the AFC North with Cincinnati and Cleveland. He started 45 games in three years, and while his production was unspectacular (six sacks and 15 TFLs), he played 60%+ of the snaps for two seasons and 52% in 2024. He will provide a veteran option in the middle elsewhere.

Quarterback Sam Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks are finalizing a deal to land the veteran QB for three years for "nearly $100 million." (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Darnold comes in to replace Geno Smith, who had one year left on his deal when he was traded to Las Vegas. In a similar mold, the Seahawks are banking on a one-year breakout again, but Darnold is much younger (27) and is coming off of a 35-TD season with 4,319 yards. While it remains to be seen what else Seattle does this offseason, the one-time Pro Bowler Darnold will play alongside WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba and RBs Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet in 2025 and beyond.

The Panthers signed S Tre'von Moehrig to a three-year, $51 million contract with the Panthers. (Source: Tashan Reed on Twitter)
