The New York Jets have signed quarterback Justin Fields to a two-year contract worth $40 million. This deal includes $30 million guaranteed. The 26-year-old opened the 2024 campaign as Pittsburgh's No. 1 quarterback before being replaced by Russell Wilson. During his time as the starter, Fields averaged 183.4 passing yards and 38.5 rushing yards per game. He found the back of the end zone 10 times (five passing, five rushing) and threw just one interception. During the 2022 season, Fields enjoyed a career-season as he tallied 2,242 passing yards and added an impressive 1,143 yards on the ground. During this season, he threw 17 scores and tallied eight rushing touchdowns. However, he threw 11 interceptions. Fantasy managers should expect Fields to likely operate as their starting quarterback as the Jets are parting ways with Aaron Rodgers. Veteran Tyrod Taylor is also on the roster and could compete for starting opportunities during training camp if Fields were to struggle. Fields carries solid upside as a high-end QB2 in all formats given his elite rushing ability.

The Seattle Seahawks have signed quarterback Sam Darnold to a three-year, $110.5 million contract. This deal includes $55 million guaranteed. Just days after trading Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders, the Seahawks will now turn to Darnold to lead their franchise. After never reaching his full potential after being selected with the third overall selection in the 2018 NFL Draft, Darnold finally found his footing last season in Minnesota. He led the Vikings to an impressive 14-3 record. He threw for 4,319 yards and added 35 passing scores, which were both the fifth-most in the league. Darnold flourished under head coach Kevin O'Connell and threw at least three passing scores in six contests. Darnold will now join Seattle, which finished just short of a playoff bid as they held a 10-7 record. The Seahawks recently parted ways with wide receiver DK Metcalf, which leaves Jaxon Smith-Njigba as Darnold's lone proven wideout. Darnold should be viewed as a solid QB2 in all formats but could enter the low-end QB1 range if Seattle improves their wide receiver room.

Former New York Jets and pending free-agent cornerback D.J. Reed is expected to sign a three-year, $48 million deal with the Detroit Lions when the new league year begins on March 12. Reed has been a standout defensive back for New York since signing with the team in 2022. The former fifth-round pick out of Kansas State in 2018 has totaled 414 tackles (326 solo), two sacks, four forced fumbles, six interceptions, and 50 pass deflections in 101 career games. The Lions just lost cornerback Carlton Davis III to the New England Patriots in free agency, so Reed will replace him opposite 2024 first-round pick Terrion Arnold in 2025 under new defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard.

Dynasty | The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have re-signed wide receiver Chris Godwin. Dynasty Analysis: It's reportedly a three-year deal worth $66 million. This will keep Godwin in pewter through his age-32 season and keeps the duo of Mike Evans and Godwin together for the best parts of their careers. It's a big deal for Tampa Bay as losing Godwin would have been catastrophic. While he's still recovering from an early season injury, he should be back by training camp and his 50/576/5 line last year showed he's still an elite option. This is big news for Baker Mayfield as well since he'll have the band back together again for an offense that was borderline explosive at times last year. Godwin's ADP will remain stable with the move.

Dynasty | The Chiefs have signed running back Elijah Mitchell, formerly of the 49ers. Dynasty Analysis: Ok, then. This is actually interesting. The Chiefs have Isiah Pacheco as their lead back, but Kareem Hunt is a free agent and Mitchell could be his replacement. We've seen him perform well in similar offensive systems and could be a serious weapon should Pacheco be injured again and if the Chiefs fail to add much else to the roster. While not a priority on dynasty rosters at the moment, Mitchell is a player to keep tabs on through the rest of free agency and the draft. If he's the backup in Kansas City, you could really have something here again.

Former NFL Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack reached an agreement on Monday on a one-year, fully guaranteed $18 million deal with the Los Angeles Chargers, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter. After the Chargers released pass-rusher Joey Bosa last week, it was imperative that the Chargers retain linebacker Mack after he decided in the offseason that he would be returning for another season. The 34-year-old veteran, three-time first-team All-Pro and nine-time Pro Bowler wasn't quite as good as he was in 2024 as he was in 2023 when he had a career-best 17 sacks, but he was still productive. Mack finished with 39 tackles (20 solo), six sacks, six tackles for loss, 15 QB hits, nine pass breakups, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 16 regular-season starts. Mack will still be relevant in IDP fantasy leagues in what will likely be his final season, but the absence of Bosa will probably mean more double-teams.

Dynasty | The Steelers have re-signed running back Jaylen Warren. Dynasty Analysis: The move will pay him a little over $5 million. He can still negotiate with other teams, but they'd have to send Pittsburgh a second round pick if they sign him, something that seems to be highly unlikely. Warren has always been productive, but never a true RB1 with the Steelers. Najee Harris is expected to leave in free agency, but it's hard to believe Pittsburgh will just hand the reigns over to Warren. As such, his dynasty value and ADP should remain pretty static.

Free-agent QB Sam Darnold (Vikings) agreed to a three-year deal worth $110.5 million, according to sources Monday, March 10. The deal includes $55 million guaranteed.

Fantasy Spin: Darnold is coming off the best season of his career and will be the replacement for Geno Smith. The departure of DK Metcalf means one less wide receiver to work with, but this should provide a stable floor for Jaxon Smith-Njigba. As for Darnold's fantasy prospects, it will be difficult to follow up his QB8 finish in Seattle. He's best viewed as a QB2 option moving forward.

Free-agent defensive tackle Milton Williams was reportedly close to reaching a deal with the Carolina Panthers, but according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, he has now agreed to terms with the New England Patriots. His new deal is expected to be for $26 million per season. The 25-year-old was a third-round pick out of Louisiana Tech in 2021 and posted a career-high five sacks in 2024. Overall, Williams is credited with 132 tackles (66 solo), 11.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles in 67 games. He will now anchor the New England defense led by new head coach Mike Vrabel and defensive coordinator Terrell Williams.

The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to terms with former Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Isaiah Rodgers, according to NFL insider Ari Meirov. The 27-year-old is expected to sign a two-year, $15 million deal when the new league year begins on March 12. Rodgers was suspended by the NFL for violating the league's policy on gambling in 2023 and missed the entire season. He was released by the Colts following the punishment handed down by the NFL. He signed with the Philadelphia Eagles last year and played in 15 games (three starts). Overall, the UMass product has totaled 116 tackles, three interceptions, and 14 pass deflections in 45 career games. He'll now play under top NFL defensive coordinator Brian Flores in Minnesota.

The Houston Texans are re-signing free agent defensive lineman Derek Barnett, according to team reporter Jonathan M. Alexander. Barnett was a first-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2017 out of Tennessee but has spent the last two seasons with Houston. Barnett had his most productive season since 2020 last year, racking up 26 total tackles, five sacks, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and one pass deflection. Barnett is coming back on a one-year, $5 million deal and will continue to provide depth along DeMeco Ryans' defensive front.

Free-agent right tackle Morgan Moses has agreed to a three-year, $24 million contract with the New England Patriots, according to NFL insider Albert Breer. Moses spent last season with the New York Jets following seven seasons with the Washington Commanders, one year with the Jets, and two years with the Baltimore Ravens. The 34-year-old has played in 166 NFL games with 158 starts. He will provide an instant upgrade and veteran presence along the Patriots offensive line that is tasked with protecting promising second-year quarterback Drake Maye.

The New York Jets are viewed as the top candidate to sign free-agent quarterback Justin Fields, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. No deal has been reached yet, but league sources believe he will ultimately land with New York. Fields spent last season with the Pittsburgh Steelers and threw for 1,106 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception in 10 game appearances. Fields started the team's first six games before being benched for veteran signal-caller Russell Wilson. However, the former first-round pick out of Ohio State could get another starting opportunity based on his resume in his first four NFL campaigns. Overall, Fields has racked up 7,780 passing yards, 45 passing touchdowns, 31 interceptions, 2,509 rushing yards, and 19 rushing touchdowns in 50 career games. He is one of the best rushing quarterbacks in the NFL, but he would likely not be an ideal quarterback for Garrett Wilson's fantasy football production. UPDATE: Fields continues to talk with the Steelers, but he will not re-sign in Pittsburgh unless they commit to him as their starter.

Paired with Christian Gonzalez, New England now has one of the top cornerback duos in the NFL under new head coach Mike Vrabel.
