2026 NFL free agency: Roster moves, questions for 32 teams - ESPN

The first week of 2026 NFL free agency was flooded with shocking deals and moves (big and small) from all 32 teams.

Top players such as Tyler Linderbaum, Trey Hendrickson, Jaelan Phillips and Malik Willis, to name a few, flew off the market and are expected to make immediate impacts. We also saw a bit of drama with the Raiders taking back Maxx Crosby after a failed trade, Geno Smith returning to New York and Kyler Murray creating QB competition in Minnesota.

Which teams reached their goals? Which teams lost more than they gained? And what questions still have yet to be answered? Our NFL Nation reporters sorted out the moves and broke down all 32 teams' approaches.

Did the Bills hit their free agency goals? Some of them. Buffalo added most of its top positions of need by re-signing, trading and signing at center, receiver, pass rusher and safety to lock in starters. But there are lingering questions at linebacker, defensive line and receiver depth; while a solid portion of that will come in the draft, there's still work to be done.

One thing we heard: It's not new to hear that quarterback Josh Allen was involved in attracting or keeping a player, but center Connor McGovern praised his quarterback's efforts. «It doesn't hurt when you have No. 17 in your corner also trying to drive things through,» McGovern said. That only continues to reinforce the impact of Allen's voice.
