Gerald Everett | Free Agent TE
The Chargers are signing Gerald Everett.
After a stint with the Seahawks, Everett is headed back to Los Angeles, this time with the Chargers. The athletic tight end will be an intriguing fit in the Chargers offense, and he’ll look to become a reliable and versatile target for Justin Herbert this season.
Rashaad Penny | Retired RB
Rashaad Penny is re-signing with the Seahawks.
After a scorching end to the 2021 NFL season, Penny was a very intriguing free agent runner. However, the thought had been that he would return to Seattle. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that Penny could have gotten more money elsewhere, but the former first-round pick is back with the Seahawks on a one-year deal. In the post-Russell-Wilson era, the Seahawks are undoubtedly going to want to the run ball a ton, and Penny profiles as a big part of that this season.

Robert Woods | Texans WR
The Rams are trading Robert Woods to the Titans.
Woods was said to be on the trade market following LA’s signing of Allen Robinson, and Tennessee is acquiring him for a sixth-round pick. Although he’s coming off a torn ACL, the veteran will be an important part of the offense alongside A.J. Brown in 2022, and it fills one of the team’s biggest needs following the release of Julio Jones. The switch to a much more run-heavy offense should make Woods a strong FLEX rather than the WR2 he was with the Rams.
Jacoby Brissett | Cardinals QB
The Browns are signing Jacoby Brissett.
Brissett will step in as the No. 2 quarterback for Cleveland with Baker Mayfield set to be traded and Case Keenum already sent to Buffalo. This signing is especially important because there is a good chance Brissett makes several starts if Deshaun Watson ends up facing a suspension following the NFL’s investigation into his 22 alleged sexual assaults.

Matthew Stafford | Rams QB
The Rams have signed Matthew Stafford to a four-year, $160-million extension.
Stafford will get $135 million guaranteed in the deal, and it likely sets him up to finish his career in Los Angeles. The Rams signing Allen Robinson will only boost the floor and ceiling of the offense in 2022, so Stafford’s QB1 outlook looks more favorable this year than it did last summer.
