But the Colts still will have some upheaval in the months to come. Although the idea that the Colts are "running it back" has taken hold in recent weeks, there remains the possibility of significant changes. Critical areas from the offensive line to the defensive front seven could be significantly impacted by offseason moves that might require some getting used to. The Indianapolis roster is bound to look different in 2026.
The 28-year-old defensive end has been a consistently great pass-rusher in his seven NFL seasons. During that time, Crosby has notched 69.5 sacks and has established himself as one of the league's top defensive forces. Would the Raiders trade him?
With free agency just a few short weeks away, the Commanders have some big decisions to make. They have the most pending free agents anywhere in the league, and could have north of $100 million in salary-cap space once additional moves are made. Not everyone will be let go, but whether their plans for the future include Samuel remains to be seen.
When the Washington Commanders gave wide receiver Treylon Burks a second chance after his abrupt departure from the Tennessee Titans, nobody was expecting too much. He's never come close to reaching his first-round billing. The injuries that eventually led to Burks' release from the Titans only further tempered expectations. Burks flashed brief moments of promise, but nothing more. That puts the Commanders in a dilemma with the wideout before he gets the chance to test free agency.
Although he's a pending free agent, Falcons tight end said in late January it would be "dope" to play for new head coach Kevin Stefanski. A potential trip to the open market is looming for Pitts, but it appears he will indeed work with Stefanski in 2026. Atlanta placing the franchise tag on Pitts is the "most likely outcome," Josh Kendall of The Athletic writes.
One of the biggest weaknesses the Patriots tried to improve, and seemed to until injuries plagued the defense, was their pass-rushing group, and unfortunately, that will remain a top need going into the 2026 offseason. That's why the possibility that the Raiders could trade away Maxx Crosby has become a fixation for New England fans, but it's looking less likely as the weeks go on.
We're less than a month from the start of the new NFL league year in early March, when we usually see the juiciest trades. Today, I'll put together 11 trade proposals, which involve veterans, that might make sense for both sides. You shouldn't be surprised -- the only thing I love more than a real trade is a mock one.

Although he was the first receiver in New England to reach 1,000+ receiving yards since Julian Edelman in 2019, there is considerable discussion about his fit for 2026 and beyond, particularly given his ongoing court case and his salary. Whatever happens to his tenure in Foxborough could depend on the outcome of his legal problems, but if not, NBC Sports Boston's Phil Perry believes there's plenty to suggest his salary isn't ideal for what the Patriots want to accomplish.
Feb 15, 2026, 05:17 PM ET Seattle Seahawks quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko has been hired as the Las Vegas Raiders' offensive coordinator, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Sunday. Janocko once again will reunite with Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak, who he worked with in New Orleans and Seattle. The Raiders went 3-14 this past season, then fired first-year coach Pete Carroll.
The 2024 second-team All-Pro began his seventh year in Washington as a no-show in training camp and preseason during a dramatic contract standoff with general manager Adam Peters. The matter was resolved in time for the regular season, but he started slowly and then suffered a quad/hip flexor injury in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders. McLaurin missed seven of Washington's next eight games, eventually finishing the season with 582 receiving yards and three touchdowns from 38 receptions.
