The latest scores, headlines and storylines, right here on NFL News today.

Subscribe and stay game ready. NFL Free Agency for 2026 wrapped up after two intense weeks

with nearly every team landing at least one key external player. Now, things have quieted down

nine days after the new league year started on March 11th. Front offices are shifting

focus to the upcoming draft, pro days and scouting visits for college prospects. Early looks at winners

and losers show some clear standouts and struggles. The Los Angeles Rams boosted their secondary

big time by trading for all pro cornerback Trent McDuffy and signing Jalen Watson, pairing them with.

Quinton Lake for a solid trio. That positions 38-year-old quarterback Matthew Stafford for another

Super Bowl run at home in Sylvesterium where they won in 20. 21. Meanwhile, the Raiders spent nearly

300 million in contracts, grabbing a lead center Tyler Linderbaum and young receivers to support

incoming. Top draft pick Fernando Mendoza in his offense. Reactions are mixed, but the Jaguars

drew heat as the biggest losers after losing star linebacker Devon Lloyd and running back Travis

ETN without strong replacements. The Vikings face questions too, signing Kyler Murray to challenge

struggling quarterback J.J. McCarthy who had a rough rookie year. Fans see the impact on contenders

like the Buccaneers who lost legend Mike Evans after a heartbreaking late season collapse.

The Ravens pivoted smartly from a failed Max Crosby trade to snack Sacks leader Trey Hendrickson

on a massive four-year deal, keeping their picks, intact around the Mar Jackson.

Carolina Panthers loaded up on Pro Bowl talent at Edge, Linebacker and Tackle,

upgrading their defense across the board. Even the dolphins gave Malik Willis a big contract,

though trading Jalen Waddle leaves their receivers thin. As teams digest these moves,

true success will show on the field over the next year or more, setting the stage for an exciting

draft season ahead.
