Cade Otton (TE - TB)

3/8/26 1:38 PM -
Bucs Tight End Targets If Cade Otton Leaves In Free Agency. The Bucs head into free agency this week with rather limited cash to spend.

That makes things tricky, as

James Conner (RB - ARI)

James Conner sticking in Arizona for 2026.
The Cardinals and two-time Pro Bowl RB James Conner have agreed to a revised contract to keep him in Arizona for 2026, sources say.
Conner played just three games last season because an ankle injury. But he’ll be back at age 31. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FF Today's Take: Conner will turn 31 in May and is coming off a lost season, cut short by an ankle injury. His free agent market would likely be minimal given his age and injury status, so this is a win for both the team and player. We'll see just how effective he will be in 2026 as he works in a likely timeshare with Trey Benson, who is coming off a knee injury of his own.Source:

2026 Pittsburgh Steelers Mock Offseason. For the first time in nearly 20 years, the Pittsburgh Steelers hired a new head coach. Very rudely, it was *not* me.
