The contract is worth $23 million, including $16.5 million guaranteed.

Engram was recently released by the Jacksonville Jaguars after having a down season in 2024 that followed a career-best campaign in which Engram caught 114 passes for 963 yards and four touchdowns.

The 6-foot-3 tight end was hindered by hamstring and shoulder injuries last season, posting just 47 receptions for 365 yards and one score.

Engram, 30, has 496 career receptions for 4,922 yards and 25 touchdowns in 108 games (89 starts) with the New York Giants (2017-21) and Jaguars (2022-24). He was a first-round pick (23rd overall) by the Giants in 2017.

Slay, 34, has 28 career interceptions and 160 passes defensed in 177 games (167 starts) with the Lions (2013-19) and Eagles. He was drafted in the second round by Detroit in 2013, going on to make three Pro Bowls for the Lions.

A string of three more consecutive Pro Bowl nominations was snapped in 2024, when he started all 14 games in which he played for the Super Bowl champions. He recorded 13 passes defensed and 49 tackles.

The Steelers will pair Slay with 2023 second-round pick Joey Porter Jr. He will also be reunited with former Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell, who also signed a one-year deal with Pittsburgh.

Releasing Slay with a post-June 1 designation will save the Eagles $4.3 million against their salary cap in 2025. Philadelphia is reportedly also parting ways with former Pro Bowl cornerback James Bradberry, who spent the entire 2024 season on injured reserve as he recovered from a torn Achilles tendon.

The deal for the longtime Dallas Cowboys standout includes $18 million guaranteed.

Seattle's defensive coordinator is Aden Durde, Dallas' defensive line coach from 2021-23.

The four-time Pro Bowler has 61.5 sacks in 11 seasons, all with the Cowboys.

Lawrence, who turns 33 next month, was limited to four games last season due to a sprained right foot. He had 14 tackles and three sacks.

The 6-foot-3, 265-pound lineman had 25 sacks across a two-season period earlier in his career -- 14.5 in 2017 and 10.5 in 2018. He was an All-Pro second-team choice in 2017.

Lawrence has 450 tackles, including 97 for losses, in 141 regular-season games (123 starts). He has compiled 21 forced fumbles, eight fumble recoveries and two interceptions.

A former college star at Boise State, Lawrence was a second-round pick by the Cowboys in 2014.

Wilson, 36, played his first 10 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, but has been on the move of late after playing two seasons with the Denver Broncos and spending last season with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Wilson passed for 2,482 yards with 16 touchdowns and five interceptions in 11 starts for the Steelers last season, while going 6-5. He missed time with a calf injury as the Steelers ended the season 10-7 and lost 28-14 to the Baltimore Ravens in the wild-card round of the playoffs.

Wilson was 20-of-29 passing against the Ravens for 270 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.

The Browns, who went 3-14 last season, will be without quarterback Deshaun Watson in 2025 because of an Achilles injury that required surgery. The Giants, who also went 3-14, moved on from quarterback Daniel Jones last season.

In 199 career NFL games, Wilson has completed 64.7 percent of his passes for 46,135 yards, 350 TDs and 111 interceptions. A 10-tme Pro Bowler, Wilson led the Seahawks to a 43-8 victory over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII following the 2013 season.

It's a one-year deal for Dillon, though financial terms were not reported.

The 6-foot, 247-pound back gives the Eagles a power rusher behind star RB Saquon Barkley.

Dillon, 26, has rushed for 2,428 yards and 16 touchdowns in 60 career games (11 starts) with the Green Bay Packers, who drafted him in the second round (62nd overall) of the 2020 draft. He also has 86 receptions out of the backfield for 763 yards and two scores.

Dillon sat out last season with a neck stinger. He also finished the 2023 season on injured reserve with the same injury that forced him to miss the final two games.

Dillon has received clearances from the top neck specialists in the country, per NFL Network.

Jets General manager Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn met with Rodgers in what the first-time GM labeled a meeting of clarity and determined it would be best to move on, before owner Woody Johnson issued a public thank you to the former Packers quarterback.

The Steelers are without a starting quarterback in part because the Jets are set to sign Justin Fields to a two-year, $40 million deal. Russell Wilson, who started the final 11 games of the 2024 season and a playoff loss to the Ravens for Pittsburgh, is reportedly drawing interest from the Giants and Browns.

The Jets will be charged $14 million for releasing Rodgers on the 2025 salary cap and $35 million in 2026.

Rodgers joined the Jets amid much fanfare ahead of the 2023 season but suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in the opener. Last season, he rebounded to start all 17 games but the Jets finished only 5-12. He completed 63.0 percent of his passes for 3,897 yards with 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

Rodgers spent 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers before moving on the Jets. The future Pro Football Hall of Fame member and four-time NFL MVP ranks in the top 10 in NFL history in many statistical categories.

He is first in passer rating (102.6), fifth in career touchdown passes (503), and seventh in both pass completions (5,369) and passing yards (62,952).

Kupp, 31, was designated as a post-June 1 cut which costs the Rams $14.78 million in dead cap in 2025 and $7.48 million in 2026. Kupp's release will save the Rams $15 million in cap space next season.

Kupp spent eight seasons with the Rams, but Los Angeles moved in a new direction, signing Davante Adams to a two-year deal.

Kupp had a season for the ages in 2021 when he won the NFL receiving triple crown with 145 receptions for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns. He caught two TD passes in the Super Bowl win over the Cincinnati Bengals, was named the NFL Offensive Player of the Year, and was a first-team All-Pro and a Pro Bowl selection.

That postseason he totaled 33 catches for 478 yards and six touchdowns in four games and was named MVP of Super Bowl LVI with eight receptions for 92 yards and the two TDs, including the winning 1-yard score with 1:25 left in the Rams' 23-20 victory.

But Kupp has been plagued by injuries over the past three seasons and has only topped 800 yards once during the span. This season, he injured an ankle in Week 2 and was limited to 12 games, producing 67 receptions for 710 yards and six touchdowns.

Kupp, who turns 32 in June, is eager to recapture his form.

"2024 began with one of the best training camps of my career," Kupp wrote in February when he learned the Rams would try to trade him. "Preparations start now for 2025. Highly motivated, as healthy as ever, and looking forward to playing elite football for years to come."

Kupp was due to make $20 million in 2025 in salary and bonuses with a cap hit of $29.78 million, making it difficult to find a trade partner.

Current Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell was the Rams' offensive coordinator when Kupp had his mammoth campaign, which has prompted speculation that Minnesota could be interested.

Kupp was a college star at FCS Eastern Washington before the Rams drafted him in the third round of the 2017 draft. He has 634 catches for 7,776 yards and 57 touchdowns in 104 regular-season games (89 starts).

The Cowboys sent a fifth-round pick in this year's draft and a seventh-rounder in 2026 for Elam, a former first-round pick. The Cowboys also get a sixth-round pick in this year's draft.

Elam, 23, has two interceptions, six passes defensed and 81 tackles in 29 career games (12 starts) for the Bills, who took him No. 23 overall in the 2022 draft.

The Cowboys are trying to shore up their secondary after losing Jourdan Lewis in free agency and with uncertainty surrounding Trevon Diggs after graft surgery to his left knee in January.

Elam is in the final season of his rookie contract with a club option for 2026. He's set to count $2.57 million against the salary cap in 2025.

His deal is for one year and $8 million, according to NFL Network.

Mariota, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, spent his first five seasons with the Tennessee Titans and has bounced around the league since -- two seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders, then one each in Atlanta, Philadelphia and Washington, largely in a backup role.

Mariota will continue to be a valuable mentor to starting quarterback Jayden Daniels, who was the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2024. Coach Dan Quinn credited Mariota for the assistance he offered the rookie last season, and the two quarterbacks developed a bond.

Now 31, Mariota won the 2014 Heisman Trophy, has appeared in 93 NFL games and is 34-40 as a starter. He's completed 63 percent of his passes for 16,184 yards with 97 touchdowns and 55 interceptions.

The league announced the distribution of $452 million on Wednesday under the collectively bargained benefit for players who outperformed their salary level based on their playing time. Players have received nearly $2.8 billion since the program's inception in 2002.

The bonus more than doubles the 2024 salary for Sherwood, a 2021 fifth-round draft pick who participated in 93 percent of the Jets' defensive snaps last season.

Sherwood, 25, played 1,178 total snaps (including special teams) and finished with 158 tackles (league-high 98 solo stops) and two sacks in 17 games (16 starts).

The news continues a great week for Sherwood, who reportedly agreed to a three-year, $45 million extension with the Jets on Monday.

Four other players received more than $1 million in performance-based pay: Colts cornerback Jaylon Jones ($1.06 million), Panthers cornerback Michael Jackson ($1.035M), Ravens offensive lineman Daniel Faalele ($1.02M) and Bears offensive lineman Matt Pryor ($1.02M).

Quarterback Brock Purdy of the 49ers earned the most among NFL skill players, with the former "Mr. Irrelevant" taking home an extra $857,842.

The Seahawks would be the wideout's fifth team in eight seasons.

Valdes-Scantling, 30, began the 2024 season in Buffalo before the Bills released him on Oct. 15. He signed with New Orleans six days later and went to post 17 catches for 385 yards and four touchdowns in eight games (all starts) for the Saints.

Valdes-Scantling has 205 career receptions for 3,556 yards and 20 TDs in 106 games (68 starts). He led the league in yards per reception in 2020 with 20.9 while with the Green Bay Packers, who selected him in the fifth round of the 2018 draft. He won two Super Bowl rings with the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Seahawks are retooling their WR room after releasing Tyler Lockett and trading DK Metcalf to Pittsburgh, a deal that's expected to become official later Wednesday.

Pierce made the announcement on the "Sports Spectrum" podcast.

Pierce, 32, finishes with 238 tackles, 9.5 sacks, six fumble recoveries and 25 quarterback hits in 99 career games (59 starts) for the Ravens (2016-19; 2022-24) and Minnesota Vikings (2021). He played in 11 games (one start) last season, recording his first career interception in Week 18, his final regular season game.

The Ravens signed Pierce as an undrafted free agent out of Samford in May 2016 and he went on to play in 16 games (one start) in his rookie season. He made more than $27 million in his nine-year career.

The Ravens will incur a dead cap hit of $2 million in 2025, according to Spotrac.

The team announced the deal on Wednesday but didn't reveal financial terms.

Hamlin, who turns 27 later this month, played in 14 games (all starts) for the Bills last season, part of his remarkable comeback since going into cardiac arrest after a hit to the chest during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Jan. 2, 2023.

He was brought back slowly during the 2023 season and appeared in five games, mostly on special teams. But last season, he played 98 percent of the snaps at safety in the games in which he appeared.

Hamlin made 89 tackles, including two for loss, recovered a fumble, broke up five passes and had two interceptions -- the first of his career -- in 2024.

The Bills selected Hamlin, who played collegiately at Pitt, in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He has 184 tackles in 48 career games (27 starts).

The Chiefs had largely already spent that money but deals are not official until the start of the league year on Wednesday afternoon.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes revised his deal for the fourth time since 2021. His contract value of $450 million is tops in the NFL and the deal runs through the 2031 season. The 29-year-old shifted approximately $23 million of his salary, which would fit almost precisely with the franchise tag value for retaining guard Trey Smith.

Mahomes has base salaries in 2026 ($45.4 million) and 2027 ($45.8 million) that are 4.5 times higher than his $9.8 million salary last season.

Defensive tackle Chris Jones signed a five-year, $158.8 million contract in 2024 and has a restructure bonus of $27.5 million on the books for 2025.

In addition to using the franchise tag to retain top free agent Smith, the Chiefs agreed to deals with free agent offensive tackle Jaylon Moore (49ers), cornerback Kristian Fulton (Chargers) and running back Elijah Mitchell (49ers) and re-signed linebacker Nick Bolton and wide receiver Hollywood Brown.

Gainwell agreed to a one-year deal, according to multiple reports Wednesday, and gives the Steelers some insurance behind restricted free agent Jaylen Warren. Warren was given a second-round tender offer by the Steelers this week and is projected to be Pittsburgh's starter in the absence of Harris. Harris, a 2021 first-round pick, agreed to a one-year deal with the Chargers in free agency.

Gainwell, who turns 26 on Friday, was a fifth-round pick in 2021 and averaged 4.2 yards per carry in four seasons with the Eagles. He's capable of being a third-down back and averaged 7.1 yards per catch with 102 receptions for 721 yards. He had a total of 1,906 yards and 13 touchdowns with Philadelphia.

Warren, 26, averaged 4.8 yards per carry with 127 receptions in his first three seasons. He was expected to start the 2024 season in a co-No. 1 role with Harris until a hamstring injury slowed him down.

--Defensive tackle Greg Gaines re-signed with the Buccaneers.

Gaines reportedly will receive $3.5 million for the 2025 season, his third with the team. A backup nose tackle, he played in 15 games (three starts) in 2024 and had 17 tackles with one sack.

Gaines, 28, is entering his seventh season after four years with the Los Angeles Rams. He has 163 tackles and 12.5 sacks in 91 career games (30 starts).

Floyd, 32, is headed to his fourth team in four seasons and his fifth NFL team overall.

He lasted just one season in San Francisco despite signing a two-year, $20 million contract last year. Floyd started all 17 games for the 49ers, recording 8.5 sacks, 42 tackles, eight tackles for loss, one forced fumble and one pass defensed.

In 138 NFL games for the Chicago Bears (2016-19), Los Angeles Rams (2020-22), Buffalo Bills (2023) and San Francisco (2024), Floyd has 66.5 sacks, 412 tackles, 71 tackles for loss, five forced fumbles, seven fumble recoveries, two interceptions and 15 passes defensed.

Floyd started all four playoff games for the Rams during their championship run in 2021-22. He had two sacks in that postseason, including one in the Super Bowl.

He heads back to his home state, as he grew up in Georgia and played for the University of Georgia.

Floyd joins a Falcons pass rush that managed just 31 sacks in 2024, the second-worst figure in the NFL.

The deal could end up worth $15.6 million, according to NFL Network.

Bosa played the first nine seasons of his NFL career with the Los Angeles Chargers, before being released on March 5.

The third overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, Bosa has racked up 72 sacks, second in Chargers history. The 29-year-old is a five-time Pro Bowl selection.

Injuries have hampered the star pass rusher in recent years, as he played only five games in 2022 and nine games in 2023. Last season, Bosa suited up for 14 contests, recording 22 tackles, five sacks and two forced fumbles. He generated 19 quarterback pressures and 13 quarterback hits.

The veteran essentially replaces Von Miller, the 35-year-old former Pro Bowl player who was released by the Bills on Saturday after spending the past three seasons with the team.

It is reportedly a $5 million contract that could reach up to $6 million.

Hopkins, 32, had a down season in 2024 while splitting time between the Tennessee Titans (six games) and Kansas City Chiefs (10). Overall, he caught 56 passes for 610 yards and five touchdowns.

The Ravens undoubtedly see a track record that includes 984 receptions for 12,965 yards and 83 touchdown catches in 178 NFL games.

Hopkins has seven career 1,000-yard receiving seasons and has caught over 100 passes four times. He earned first-team All-Pro honors three straight years (2017-19).

Hopkins spent his first seven seasons with the Houston Texans before being traded to the Arizona Cardinals. He spent three seasons with Arizona before being released and he joined the Titans prior to the 2023 campaign.

The Titans traded Hopkins to the Chiefs in late October.

The San Francisco 49ers also received four picks, three of which came through the free agency formula and one for developing DeMeco Ryans as a head coach. The NFL on Tuesday announced the 35 total compensatory picks awarded to 15 teams for the draft.

Compensatory draft picks are awarded when a team is deemed to have lost more or better compensatory free agents ("CFA") than it acquired in the previous year. All awarded picks are positioned between the third and seventh rounds based on the value of the compensatory free agents lost.

*Special Compensatory Selection

The CFAs are determined by a formula created by the NFL Management Council that takes into account salary, playing time and postseason honors. The goal is to determine the net loss teams suffer from CFAs during the previous free agent signing period. The formula does not include every free agent lost or signed by a team.

There were 32 compensatory selections awarded under the net loss formula.

The 49ers, Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions were each awarded a selection under a 2020 amendment to the collective bargaining agreement to promote equal employment opportunities and an inclusive workforce within NFL clubs.

Teams that have a minority employee hired by another club as its head coach or general manager receive a special compensatory draft selection in the third round of each of the next two drafts. If a team has two former minority employees hired into one of those two roles elsewhere, a third year is added.

*Not including special compensatory selections

Defensive backs and linemen were the belles of the ball over the first day of the open market with those contracts set to become official on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET.

A few surprises? Sure, we didn't see guard Will Fries receiving a contract worth $88 million, the third-highest total value of any agreement made in the open negotiating period that began at noon ET on Monday.

Some overspends? Yes, there always are. But if we can take anything away from the construction of the Super Bowl champion Eagles, it's that the NFL calls it a salary cap for a reason. Spend wisely, or find yourself in Giants general manager Joe Schoen's shoes (cough, cough, Saquon Barkley) wishing you would have.

With fluid negotiations in progress and likely to reset the list below, here are the best free agents still available as the workday begins Wednesday morning.

WR Stefon Diggs (Texans): Until the Rams make it official and release Cooper Kupp, Diggs is the best receiver on the market because of his ability to adapt as an inside or outside receiver. The pause in paying Diggs could have a lot to do with health. He turns 32 in November and is coming back from a torn ACL.

WR Amari Cooper (Bills): Acquired from the Browns at the trade deadline, Cooper was a bust in Buffalo. He had bumps and bruises that limited his production with the Bills, but WR1 is no longer a likely role for Cooper. He's 31 in June and likely no more than a third receiver.

OT Cam Robinson (Vikings): Robinson showed well in a half-season with the Vikings, who were forced to pick up a replacement for Christian Darrisaw (ACL) on the fly.

OG Mekhi Becton (Eagles): A power tackle who didn't take with the Jets, Becton isn't the best fit for every scheme but he turns 26 next month and is a plow horse as a run blocker.

S Julian Blackmon (Colts): He doesn't turn 27 until training camp and started 16 games with the Colts last season. A former third-round pick with 10 career interceptions.

OT Jedrick Wills (Browns): A reboot with a new team and perhaps position might be in the offing for Wills. He wasn't the answer at left tackle in Cleveland but could see a career rebound similar to Becton with a relocation.

OG Teven Jenkins (Bears): A second-round pick in 2021 with a shaky reputation for paid time off, Jenkins started a career-best 14 games and played a career-high 738 offensive snaps last season and still missed almost one-third of the Bears' plays (right tackle Darnell Wright played 1,020). He's been solid to very good when available, and given the cash doled out to guards in free agency, he has 38 career starts and enough good film to be worth a knock at the right price.

WR Elijah Moore (Browns): Cursed with horrific QB play since he entered the NFL with the Jets, Moore is only 25 and caught 200 passes in his first four seasons. He thrives as a slot receiver and would be a great addition for a team with a young quarterback or overhauled WR room.
