We're tracking the NFL offseason's free agency with every notable signing, all the latest rumors and nuggets and much more.

A source told ESPN that Marpet made the decision over concerns for his overall health. The Wagner move will save the Seahawks $16.6 million in cash and salary-cap space while leaving a massive hole in the middle of their defense. Sources told Schefter that Washington will pay the full $28 million due to Wentz for the 2022 season, including a $5 million roster bonus due next week. The Los Angeles Chargers and wide receiver Mike Williams have reached agreement on a multiyear deal, the team announced. Rodgers announced Tuesday on Twitter that he will return to the Packers for the 2022 season. The Detroit Lions have informed outside linebacker Trey Flowers that he will be released next week when the league year starts, a source told ESPN. In a tweet Thursday, Flowers wrote: "Truly grateful for the love and the lessons!!" The deal is worth $31.65 million with $17.5 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN. Ertz wanted to stay in Arizona and quickly received his wish, at $10.55 million per year. Releasing Saffold will save $10.4 million in salary-cap space for the Titans. He was set to hold a $12.8 million cap number this season if he wasn't released. The deal is for one year and will pay McCourty $9 million, a source told ESPN. New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard is returning on a reworked one-year deal, a source told ESPN. The team's longest-tenured player wanted to return. Veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer has reached agreement on a two-year contract to return to the New England Patriots, his agent confirmed. The deal ensures that Cousins will remain the Vikings' quarterback as the franchise begins a new era with general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and coach Kevin O'Connell.

In the week leading up to free agency, NFL teams agreed to four trades involving big-name players. Russell Wilson, Carson Wentz, Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper ...

Now, the former Pro Bowler will move on to his third team in as many years while the Colts search for a replacement. The Patriots have a couple of good receivers in Kendrick Bourne and Jakobi Meyers, but they need to add a true No. 1-type receiver and depth to their wide-out room. He agreed to a one-year, $9 million deal with the team. Deshaun Watson's trade market is heating up after a grand jury elected not to indict the embattled Texans quarterback on nine criminal complaints of sexual harassment and misconduct. 2:09 p.m. — For the second straight day, a starting quarterback is traded. 7:03 p.m. — The Cowboys were deep in talks with Michael Gallup about a potential extension. He announced the decision on Twitter and confirmed that he would be returning to Tampa Bay. 11:44 p.m. — After Brady's return, the Buccaneers moved quickly to lock up their center. The Dolphins are expected to be interested in Jackson, per Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. 10:56 a.m. — Deshaun Watson has permission from the Texans to speak to other NFL teams. 7:58 a.m. — NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Packers WR Davante Adams will not play on the franchise tag. There isn't a Tom Brady-type prize this offseason — well, there wasn't until he came back, at least — but there are plenty of quality playmakers available at receiver, on defense and along the offensive line.

Brian Hoyer is sticking around in New England for another go-around, signing a two-year deal with the Patriots ahead of free agency.

The 36-year-old is essentially a player-coach at this stage of his 14-year NFL career. Hoyer backed up Jones last season, appearing in five games and attempting 11 passes. He last started a game in 2020 for New England -- a 26-10 loss at Kansas City.

Below is a list of the biggest free agent signings/agreements for fantasy football. Get a full breakdown of 2022 Free Agents and Cut Candidates in the ...

Will a crop of incoming free agents, including Christian Kirk, rejuvenate the Jaguars? Is Mitchell Trubisky in line for starting snaps with the Steelers?

Jackson's considerable pact ( five years, $82.5 million) with the Chargers is only a little better than the one Trumaine Johnson signed with the Jets in 2018. The Dallas front office isn't through, but I like what it has done, retaining tight end Dalton Schultz and signing DeMarcus Lawrence to a new contract that lowers his cap number. Jackson, Asante Samuel Jr. and Derwin James are playmakers that figure to get the ball back to Justin Herbert for a lot of extra possessions. 14) The Michael Gallup extension could go down as one of the most team-friendly in football over the next five years. Davis' contract is similar to the one Trae Waynes signed with the Bengals in 2020. The 33-year-old Cousins, on the other hand, was fortunate and savvy enough to never take a long-term contract offer from Washington early in his career. 10) No general manager will be busier this offseason than Packers head honcho Brian Gutekunst. Rapoport's report that Davante Adams is not happy with the franchise tag is not a surprise, and "Gutey" is doing his best to make room for a future extension. 2) The Jaguars were that team this year -- the team that snaps up high-risk propositions in the first few hours of the negotiating period and hopes for the best. But the 27-year-old Cooper is clearly a more dynamic player and worth the extra money. Trubisky makes more sense as a 1A choice if general manager Kevin Colbert also drafts a quarterback in the first three rounds to develop. Karras (who agreed to a three-year, $18 million deal) was available for far cheaper the last two offseasons. They've already lost starting guards Alex Cappa (headed to the Bengals) and Ali Marpet (to retirement), with more defections expected in the coming days.

The Jaguars have agreed to terms with a collection of free agents in the first day of the negotiating window. Guard Brandon Scherff headlines the group, ...

Jones is a possession receiver who garnered a surprisingly large deal of three years for up to $30 million with $24 million guaranteed, Rapoport reported. Oluokun has been a rising defender in Atlanta in the last couple of seasons and is being paid accordingly, moving to Jacksonville on a three-year deal with an average annual salary of $15 million. The Jaguars have since replaced Urban Meyer with Super Bowl LII winner Doug Pederson, and general manager Trent Baalke has approached free agency with urgency, adding notable players on each side of the ball in the first 24 hours of the negotiating window while also retaining left tackle Cam Robinson with a second consecutive franchise tag placed on him last week. Jacksonville has agreed to terms with a collection of free agents in the first day of the negotiating window. Kirk's contract includes a $20 million signing bonus, $37 million fully guaranteed and $39 million over the first two years with $12 million available in incentives, per Pelissero. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Pelissero reported the deal is four years in length and worth $72 million with a max value of $84 million.

The Cincinnati Bengals upgraded their offensive line, the Steelers got their Ben Roethlisberger predecessor, the Browns released one of their top wide ...

One of the first reported agreements was right tackle Joe Noteboom staying with the Los Angeles Rams. Noteboom was viewed as a potential affordable option for the Ravens but ended up getting a reported three-year, $40 million deal with a max value of $47.5 million. He only started two games, but Hill logged 5.5 sacks in his first season with the Bengals last season. He also has some mobility to challenge defenses. In his one career start against the Ravens as a rookie, Trubisky was 8-of-16 for 113 yards with one touchdown, four sacks and two fumbles in an overtime win at M&T Bank Stadium. Trubisky was a backup in Buffalo last year after spending his first four years in Chicago. He didn't materialize into the top-flight quarterback the Bears envisioned, but Trubisky had a 29-21 record as a starter, 64 touchdowns to 38 interceptions and an 87.0 quarterback rating. The Bengals were one of the most aggressive teams out of the gate and their focus was clear: better protection for quarterback Joe Burrow. Cincinnati agreed to terms with hard-nosed veteran offensive guard Alex Cappa (four years, $40 million) and center/guard Ted Karras (three years, $18 million).

NFL free agency begins at 4 p.m. Wednesday, but the "legal tampering" process is underway. We're tracking all the latest Patriots news and moves.

The— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) #Steelershave reached agreement on a two-year deal with QB Mitchell Trubisky, sources say. As others have reported, can confirm Matthew Slater back to the— Jim McBride (@globejimmcbride) #Patriotsone a 1-year, $2.62 million fully guaranteed deal. The Patriots already have a natural replacement for Karras on their roster. But the 10-time Pro Bowler has decided to return to the field for his 15th NFL season, signing a one-year, $2.62 million fully guaranteed contract, according to Jim McBride. The— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) #Eagleshave agreed to terms with pass rusher Haason Reddick, source says. The deal is $2 million for one year. The Patriots could have kept Jackson via the franchise tag, a one-year, $17.2 million deal, but they elected not to use it. They desperately need to add a cornerback, either through free agency or the draft. Instead, Jackson will head out to the loaded AFC West and team up with safety Derwin James in the Chargers’ secondary. Montgomery entered the league in 2015 as a wide receiver but soon switched his position to running back. DeMarcus Lawrence and the Cowboys have reached an agreement on a three-year deal worth $30 million, fully guaranteed. Deshaun Watson has decided he wants to play for the Cleveland Browns in a stunning change of events, per sources.

The Jaguars just made a lot of teams angry, and Christian Kirk just made a lot of better wide receivers richer during the start of NFL free agency.

It won’t be crazy now for him to ask to top Hopkins’ market-leading $27.5 million per year with the Cardinals. Kirk averaged 12.3 yards per catch with 17 total touchdowns in four years with the Cardinals, playing with either DeAndre Hopkins, Larry Fitzgerald or sometimes both to divert defensive attention. Even when reduced to its base value of $72 million, Kirk’s deal — including $39 million over the first two years, per NFL Network — is a game-changer.
