NFL free agency tracker: Latest signings, trades from legal tampering period

The Seattle Seahawks have reportedly locked in their next quarterback, reaching an agreement with Sam Darnold on a three-year, $100.5 million contract, with $55 million guaranteed.

Darnold is coming off a career-best season, where he racked up 4,319 passing yards and 35 touchdowns. Initially selected third overall by the New York Jets in 2018, the signal-caller endured a rocky three-year tenure in New York, followed by two inconsistent seasons with Carolina.

However, the 27-year-old has since breathed new life into his career. After serving as a backup in San Francisco in 2023, Darnold finally delivered on his potential for much of last season, earning another shot as a starter.

The New York Jets have reportedly secured Justin Fields on a two-year deal worth $40 million, with $30 million guaranteed.

Last season, Fields started six games, amassing 1,106 passing yards and five touchdowns while showcasing his mobility with 289 rushing yards and five scores on the ground.

He now takes the reins as New York’s starting quarterback, stepping in for Aaron Rodgers, after the Jets confirmed last month that they are moving on from the four-time MVP following a two-year stint.

When you have $121 million at your disposal, securing one of the top names on the market seems like a no-brainer.

That's exactly the route the New England Patriots are taking, as they are set to land Milton Williams on a massive four-year, $104 million contract, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the deal includes $63 million in guaranteed money, with Williams set to pocket an average of $26 million annually.

The dominant defensive tackle now ranks as the league's third-highest-paid interior lineman, trailing only Chris Jones of the Chiefs ($31.75M AAV) and Christian Wilkins of the Raiders ($27.5M AAV). Williams was one of the most sought-after defensive free agents following a breakout campaign with the Eagles last season, racking up 5.0 sacks, a forced fumble, seven tackles for loss, and 10 QB hits.

The Carolina Panthers have made Jaycee Horn the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history, reportedly inking him to a four-year, $100 million extension, with $70 million guaranteed.

The Arizona Cardinals have reportedly secured defensive end Josh Sweat on a lucrative four-year, $76.4 million contract, which includes $41 million in guaranteed money. Sweat is coming off a strong season with the Super Bowl champs Seahawks, having notched eight sacks in his latest campaign.

The San Francisco 49ers will have a fresh face at left guard next season, as Aaron Banks has secured a lucrative deal with the Green Bay Packers.

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Banks and the Packers have agreed to a four-year contract worth up to $77 million. While it was already looking like Banks’ time in San Francisco was nearing its end after four seasons, any slim hope of a return vanished once his market value soared to that figure.

Free-agent left tackle Dan Moore Jr. has reportedly secured a lucrative four-year, $82 million contract with the Tennessee Titans, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The deal is set to guarantee $50 million, with Moore pocketing $50 million in the first two seasons alone—$30 million of which will be paid out in the first year, per Schefter’s sources.

Moore is expected to serve as the Titans' blindside protector, though it remains to be seen who he’ll be blocking for in 2025. Tennessee holds the No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft and has also been linked to multiple free-agent quarterbacks.

With Moore locking down the left tackle spot, the Titans are expected to move JC Latham to right tackle heading into his second season.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reportedly locked down star wide receiver Chris Godwin on a three-year, $66 million contract, securing $44 million in guaranteed money. Before an ankle injury cut his season short, Godwin reeled in 50 receptions for 576 yards and five touchdowns in just seven games.

Safety Cam Bynum has reportedly inked a four-year, $60 million contract with the Indianapolis Colts. A dependable presence in the secondary, Bynum has started every game over the past three seasons and registered three interceptions in 2024.

During his four-year stint with the Minnesota Vikings, Bynum racked up 54 starts, tallying eight interceptions, three forced fumbles, and four fumble recoveries while averaging an impressive 89 tackles per season.

Safety Tre'von Moehrig has reportedly struck a deal with the Carolina Panthers on a three-year, $51 million contract, with incentives pushing the total value up to $60 million. Moehrig made his presence felt last season, racking up 104 total tackles while snagging two interceptions.

The Kansas City Chiefs have reportedly bolstered their offensive line by signing tackle Jaylon Moore to a two-year, $30 million deal, with $21.24 million guaranteed. Moore has seen limited starting experience, making just 12 starts over his four-year career, including five appearances in the lineup last season.

The Los Angeles Rams have reportedly locked in Jimmy Garoppolo for another season, agreeing to a one-year, $11 million contract extension. The veteran quarterback saw limited action last year, appearing in just one game where he racked up 334 passing yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.

The Buccaneers continue to bolster their roster, reportedly striking a one-year, $14 million deal with edge rusher Haason Reddick. The dynamic pass rusher has been a model of consistency, notching four straight seasons with double-digit sacks from 2020 to 2023.

The Los Angeles Chargers have secured Khalil Mack for another season, reportedly handing the veteran pass rusher a fully guaranteed, one-year, $18 million extension. The nine-time Pro Bowler, three-time first-team All-Pro, and former Defensive Player of the Year remains a force on defense.

The New Orleans Saints have reportedly strengthened their defensive line by acquiring Davon Godchaux from the New England Patriots in exchange for a 2025 seventh-round pick. The defensive tackle was a staple in New England’s front, starting all but one game across four seasons while tallying 2.5 sacks.

The Denver Broncos have reportedly extended defensive tackle D.J. Jones on a three-year, $39 million contract. Since arriving in Denver, Jones has been a consistent presence in the trenches, making 48 starts over three seasons while collecting five sacks.

The Minnesota Vikings have reportedly locked in Byron Murphy on a three-year, $66 million contract extension. The 27-year-old earned his first Pro Bowl nod last season after posting a career-best six interceptions.

Running back Najee Harris has reportedly joined the Los Angeles Chargers on a one-year contract worth up to $9.25 million. The former Pittsburgh Steelers standout eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards in each of his first four seasons, though the team opted against picking up his $6.7 million fifth-year option.

The New Orleans Saints have reportedly reached an agreement to keep Chase Young in the fold with a three-year, $51 million contract, which could climb to $57 million with incentives. The 2020 AP Defensive Player of the Year had a brief stint with the San Francisco 49ers after a trade from Washington before landing in New Orleans last season.

The San Francisco 49ers have reportedly informed Kyle Juszczyk of his impending release. The nine-time Pro Bowler and versatile fullback found the end zone three times in 2024 but will now hit the open market.

Quarterback Zach Wilson has reportedly agreed to a one-year, $6 million contract with the Miami Dolphins, which could rise to $10 million with performance-based bonuses. The former second overall pick in 2021 spent last season in Denver but did not see the field.

The Washington Commanders have reportedly struck a deal to land Laremy Tunsil, acquiring the star left tackle along with a 2025 fourth-round pick from the Houston Texans. In return, Houston will receive a 2025 third- and seventh-round selection, as well as 2026 second- and fourth-round picks.
