Analysis: The Giants also went through major staffing changes, as John Harbaugh was hired as their head coach and three new coordinators under Harbaugh.

Jacksonville Jaguars
Additions: RB Chris Rodriguez Jr., DL Ruke Orhorhoro
Losses: DL Maason Smith, TE Johnny Mundt, RB Travis Etienne Jr., WR Dyami Brown, DT Austin Johnson, LB Devin Lloyd, CB Greg Newsome II, DE Emmanuel Ogbah, WR Tim Patrick, DE Dawuane Smoot, S Andrew Wingard
Re-signed/Extended: CB Montaric Brown, LB Dennis Gardeck, TE Quintin Morris, CB Keith Taylor, CB Christian Braswell, RB DeeJay Dallas, DT Matt Dickerson, DE Travon Walker
Draft Class: TE Nate Boerkircher, DT Albert Regis, G Emmanuel Pregnon, S Jalen Huskey, Edge Wesley Williams, TE Tanner Koziol, WR Josh Cameron, WR CJ Williams, Edge Zach Durfee, LB Parker Hughes
Analysis: The Jaguars’ main moves during the offseason came more from re-signing their own players than bringing in outside talent in free agency. They also extended Walker to a four-year contract extension, solidifying him as a key piece of their defensive line for the next four seasons. The Jaguars then also made 10 selections in the draft across positions to fill in their roster with young talent – even without having a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
New York Jets
Additions: LB Demario Davis, S Minkah Fitzpatrick, DT David Onyemata, DT T’Vondre Sweat, K Cade York, G Dylan Parham, S Dane Belton, DB Nahshon Wright, DE Joseph Ossai, DL Kingsley Enagbare, QB Geno Smith
Losses: QB Justin Fields, LB Quincy Williams, DE Jermaine Johnson, LG John Simpson, OL Alijah Vera-Tucker, WR John Metchie III
Re-signed/Extended: OT Chukwuma Okorafor, S Andre Cisco, LB Mykal Walker, OL Max Mitchell, OL Xavier Newman, FB Andrew Beck, RB Kene Nwangwu, RB Breece Hall
Draft Class: Edge David Bailey, TE Kenyon Sadiq, WR Omar Cooper Jr., CB D’Angelo Ponds, DT Darrell Jackson Jr., QB Cade Klubnik, G Anez Cooper, S VJ Payne
Analysis: In the early stages of free agency, the Jets retooled their defensive line, linebacker/edge positions and the secondary, as well as addressed needs offensively with the acquisition of QB Geno Smith and signing G Dylan Parham to bolster the offensive line. Their draft class added talent to numerous positions across the roster, particularly to the tight end room and receiving corps that didn’t see much change during free agency. One of their biggest moves during the offseason came in signing Hall to a multi-year extension, cementing him as a key piece of the offense for years to come.
Carolina Panthers
Additions: LB Jaelan Phillips, QB Kenny Pickett, LB Devin Lloyd, C Luke Fortner, T Stone Forsythe, WR John Metchie III, LT Rasheed Walker, RB AJ Dillon, TE Feleipe Franks, OLB Nick Hampton, QB Will Grier
Losses: C Cade Mays, RB Rico Dowdle, DT A’Shawn Robinson, LB Christian Rozeboom, OL Austin Corbett, QB Andy Dalton
Re-signed/Extended: LS JJ Jansen, DE LaBryan Ray, CB Robert Rochell, WR David Moore, S Isaiah Simmons, OLB Thomas Incoom, CB Akayleb Evans, LB Claudin Cherelus, S Nick Scott, LB Trevis Gipson, TE James Mitchell, P Sam Martin, WR Jalen Coker, WR Brycen Tremayne
Draft Class: T Monroe Freeling, DT Lee Hunter, WR Chris Brazzell II, CB Will Lee III, C Sam Hecht, S Zakee Wheatley, LB Jackson Kuwatch
Analysis: The Panthers made moves early in free agency to address needs on their defense, agreeing to terms with Phillips and Lloyd on the first day of the negotiation period. They signed other free agents and retained a number of their own players to fill holds on their roster heading into the draft. They then used the draft to add talent and youth to both their offensive and defensive lines, as well as their receiving corps and secondary.
Las Vegas Raiders
Additions: G Spencer Burford, QB Kirk Cousins, LB Nakobe Dean, K Matt Gay, FB Connor Heyward, C Tyler Linderbaum, LB Cameron McGrone, WR Jalen Nailor, LB Segun Olubi, DE Kwity Paye, LB Quay Walker, WR Dareke Young, CB Taron Johnson
Losses: QB Geno Smith
Re-signed/Extended: CB Eric Stokes, DE Malcolm Koonce, DT Thomas Booker IV, S Tristin McCollum, C Will Putnam, C/G Jordan Meredith, TE Ian Thomas
Draft Class: QB Fernando Mendoza, DB Treydan Stukes, DE Keyron Crawford, G Trey Zuhn III, CB Jermod McCoy, RB Mike Washington Jr., S Dalton Johnson, CB Hezekiah Masses, WR Malik Benson, DT Brandon Cleveland
Analysis: The Raiders saw a plethora of change, both in a new coaching staff and across their roster. Las Vegas hired Klint Kubiak as their head coach and welcomed in a new coaching staff. They brought in notable additions to their offensive line in Burford and Linderbaum, and retooled their linebacker room with Dean, Walker and Olubi. They addressed the need for another edge rusher in Paye and added speed to the receiver room in Nailor. The Raiders then held the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and selected Mendoza, landing them their quarterback for the future and rounding out the room.
