2026 NFL Free Agency Tracker: Biggest Signings, Trades, and Moves Through Day 3 — Friday, March 13

The 2026 NFL free agency new league year officially opened Wednesday, March 11, and the first three days have delivered quarterback chaos, a blockbuster trade collapse, and the most aggressive spending in recent memory. Here is the full breakdown of every major move through Day 3.

Biggest NFL Free Agency Quarterback Moves

Malik Willis agreed to terms with the Miami Dolphins on a three-year, $67.5 million deal with $45 million fully guaranteed. Tua Tagovailoa signed with the Atlanta Falcons. Kyler Murray, released by Arizona, signed a one-year league minimum deal with the Minnesota Vikings — the day's biggest headline.

Aaron Rodgers remains unsigned and is among the most notable names still on the open market heading into Friday. The Indianapolis Colts placed a transition tag on Daniel Jones, who has since been drawing strong interest as teams weigh picking up the tag or negotiating directly.

Maxx Crosby Trade Collapse: Ravens Pivot to Trey Hendrickson

After the Maxx Crosby trade fell through, the Baltimore Ravens pivoted to agree to terms with edge rusher Trey Hendrickson. The Crosby drama dominated Day 2 of the negotiating window as the Cowboys were heavily involved before the deal unraveled entirely.

Osa Odighizuwa was traded from the Cowboys to the 49ers in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick, and Solomon Thomas was dealt to the Titans in an exchange that also included swapping late-round picks.

Top Wide Receiver and Skill Position Moves

Wide receiver Mike Evans came to terms with the San Francisco 49ers. Michael Pittman Jr. was traded from the Indianapolis Colts to the Pittsburgh Steelers and signed a three-year, $59 million extension. Running backs Kenneth Walker III signed with the Kansas City Chiefs and Travis Etienne joined the New Orleans Saints.

Alec Pierce signed a historic new deal with the Indianapolis Colts, setting a new benchmark for wide receivers at his contract tier. David Montgomery was acquired by the Houston Texans from the Detroit Lions in exchange for offensive lineman Juice Scruggs, a 2026 fourth-round pick, and a 2027 seventh-round selection.

Biggest Offensive Line Deals of 2026 NFL Free Agency

Tytus Howard was acquired by the Cleveland Browns in a trade with Houston, signing a new three-year, $63 million extension. Zion Johnson signed a three-year, $49.5 million deal. Elgton Jenkins signed a two-year, $24 million deal with $20 million guaranteed. Braden Smith signed a two-year deal worth up to $25 million with $13.5 million fully guaranteed.

Notable Defense Signings in NFL Free Agency 2026

Bradley Chubb signed a three-year, $43.5 million deal with $29 million guaranteed. Reed Blankenship signed a three-year, $24.75 million deal with $16.5 million guaranteed. Quincy Williams signed a two-year, $13 million deal with $9 million guaranteed.

Franchise Tags: Breece Hall, George Pickens, Kyle Pitts

Breece Hall, George Pickens, and Kyle Pitts all carry franchise tags heading into the new league year, meaning they must negotiate long-term extensions with their current teams or play under the one-year tag value. All three are among the most watched names as teams await extension news in the coming days.

Washington Commanders: Most Cap Space in the NFL

The Washington Commanders entered free agency with the most available cap space in the NFL at $76.4 million, giving them the ability to pursue virtually any available free agent. Washington has signed ten of their own players who were set to hit free agency, adding tight end Chig Okonkwo as a weapon for quarterback Jayden Daniels. The Commanders are expected to remain aggressive buyers throughout the weekend as several marquee names remain unsigned.
