As we move towards the NFL Draft, let’s catch up on off-season news for former Orange in the NFL. The biggest move so far was the Colts trading Zaire Franklin to Green Bay where he will join Kyle McCord.

Travis Etienne moves to New Orleans= good for LeQuint

Kenneth Gainwell to Tampa= Sean Tucker moves on

Arizona Cardinals: Garrett Williams

Williams tore his achilles late last season and will likely miss a good portion of the 2026 season. He’s approaching the end of his rookie deal, so we’ll see how the injury impacts his future in Arizona.

Atlanta Falcons: Matthew Bergeron

Bergeron will have a new head coach in Kevin Stefanski and new QB in Tua Tagovailoa in Atlanta. Will the changes help the Falcons get back to the playoffs?

Cleveland Browns: Andre Szmyt

Szmyt finished last season making 24 of his 27 field goal attempts for the Browns.

Dallas Cowboys: Justin Barron and Alijah Clark

Barron and Clark finished the season on the active roster in Dallas.

Detroit Lions: Jackson Meeks

The Lions added Greg Dortch in free agency so it looks like Meeks will once again be competing for the 5th WR spot in Detroit.

Indianapolis Colts: Max Mang

Franklin had 12 tackles for the second week in a row. Mang remains on the practice squad.

Green Bay Packers: Zaire Franklin and Kyle McCord

McCord signed a futures contract with Green Bay and with the departure of Malik Willis, he has an opportunity to compete with Desmond Ridder for the backup spot behind Jordan Love.

Jacksonville Jaguars: LeQuint Allen

Travis Etienne has departed and Chris Rodriguez, Jr. has joined the Jaguars. Allen carved out a role as 3rd-down back in his rookie season so we’ll see if he gets more touches in 2026.

LA Chargers: Oronde Gadsden and Marlowe Wax

Gadsden will get a chance to operate in Mike McDaniel’s offense and should see more snaps with the departure of Will Dissly and Ty Conklin. Wax was a special teams standout in his rookie season and will be looking to see more time on defense.

Miami Dolphins: Isaiah Johnson

Johnson saw limited action last season but with Miami in a full rebuild, he could earn a bigger opportunity in 2026.

New England Patriots: Tommy DeVito

DeVito signed a two-year deal to stay with the AFC Champions and with the release of Josh Dobbs, he’ll enter camp with an inside shot at being the backup to Drake Maye.

New Orleans Saints: Fadil Diggs and Damien Alford

Diggs finished the season on the active roster for New Orleans. Alford signed a futures contract with the Saints after playing last season with the Calgary Stampeder where he had 5 receiving touchdowns.

New York Giants: Courtney Jackson

Jackson was signed to a futures contract by the Giants in January. His best chance to make the team might be as a returner.

New York Jets: Andre Cisco and Kingsley Jonathan

Cisco re-signed with the Jets on a one year deal and Jonathan who joined the Jets late last season is scheduled to head to camp with the team.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Riley Dixon and Sean Tucker

Tampa has right of refusal on Tucker, but with the addition of Kenneth Gainwell, it would seem he’d be in 3rd-string/special teams role if he returns to the Bucs. Dixon will likely face a training camp battle for his job.

Free Agents: Iffy Melifonwu, Savion Washington, Max Mang
