While this situation has been linked to the AJ Brown saga and a potential trade, the situation remains fluid.
The Eagles and veteran TE Dallas Goedert have agreed to terms on a 1-year deal to keep him in Philly, per me and Mike Garafolo.
The long-time Eagles and Super Bowl champion, whose status has been in limbo, is back for a ninth season.
Falcons GM Ian Cunningham, on bringing in Tua Tagovailoa: "(Tua) knows he's coming in to compete. Like Michael (Penix Jr) knows he's coming in to compete."
The end of a long saga for both parties.
Former Cardinals Pro Bowl QB Kyler Murray has signed a 1-year deal with the Vikings, per me and @tompelissero.bsky.social
Minnesota moved quickly after Murray’s release from Arizona, and now will have the former No. 1 overall pick compete with JJ McCarthy to start.
Reunion: The 49ers are signing back one of their former stars, agreeing to terms with LB Dre Greenlaw, sources say.
The former SF draft pick spent last season with the Broncos and now returns on a 1-year, $7.5M deal.
On GMFB, I was asked where I was when I learned the Maxx Crosby trade was off. Well, it's complicated. Let me explain.
The Bengals have reached a contract extension with OT Orlando Brown Jr locking him in for the future.

From the Cardinals
The Vikings plan to make a push for Kyler Murray and are the favorite to land the former No. 1 pick, sources tell me and @tompelissero.bsky.social
Finally released now by Arizona, Murray will take his time and wants to hear directly from other teams. But Minnesota is the team to beat.
The Vikings retain one of their leaders in a win-win.
When the Colts transition tagged Daniel Jones, the play was always to do a deal. Jones gets $50M in year one and the opportunity to cash in again.
The Colts are locking in their QB, finalizing a deal with Daniel Jones to secure the most important position, per me and @tompelissero.bsky.social
It’s a 2-year, $100M contract done by his agents at Athletes First. The biggest two-year deal in NFL history.
Raiders star Maxx Crosby, now back from Baltimore with the trade to the Ravens off, is headed back into the building in Las Vegas, ready to resume his training and rehab program.
His mindset: Crosby is ready to play football for the Raiders and move forward.

Trey Hendrickson to the Ravens
Maxx Crosby BACK to the Raiders
🚨 🚨 🚨
Bengals FA edge Trey Hendrickson, the top pass-rusher on the market, is set to sign with the Ravens, per me and @tompelissero.bsky.social
With the Maxx Crosby trade off, Baltimore lands the top edge available.
One way to look at tonight's events: The Raiders spent $281.5M in free agency to build up their team... and just acquired one of the best pass-rushers of the last decade in Maxx Crosby.
From Maxx Crosby’s agent:
The Texans are signing former Bucs DE Logan Hall, who entered the league as a second rounder, source said. Homecoming for the University of Houston product.
Here is my story from Super Bowl Sunday on Maxx Crosby undergoing a meniscus repair, not a trim:
Would the Cowboys be back in? With what they've done in free agency... it may not be possible. But time will tell.
From our breaking news coverage: The Maxx Crosby trade to the Ravens is off because of medical reasons.
It is a medical reason, per Mike Garafolo. Trades are contingent upon a physical.
All trades are contingent upon players passing a physical.
One of the true blockbusters of free agency... with the plot twist being even more of a stunner.
From the Raiders:
Full details for Cam Heyward: It's a 1-year extension, per The Insiders.
$32.25M total value with $16.25M fully guaranteed. Total dollars and new money avg of $18M APY makes it the largest contract awarded to an NFL defensive player in NFL history 36 years or older.
