The second day of the NFL’s authorized tampering interval continued on Tuesday, and whereas it was far quieter than the primary day when it comes to blockbuster agreements, it nonetheless proved to be a pivotal day because the Baltimore Ravens
backed out of the Maxx Crosby commerce. That leaves their offseason with some huge query marks.
Winner: Romeo Doubs
Doubs has by no means caught greater than 60 passes in a season or recorded greater than 724 yards, however that didn’t cease him from landing a big contract agreement with the New England Patriots on Tuesday. When it turns into official, it will likely be a four-year, $80 million contract to play for the reigning AFC champions and with a younger franchise quarterback in Drake Maye. It looks like an awesome alternative for a breakout 12 months.
Loser: Baltimore Ravens offseason
The Ravens misplaced their beginning middle, two tight ends and put all the eggs of their offseason basket (and their pass-rushing basket) within the Crosby commerce. Then it fell aside as a result of Crosby didn’t go his bodily. Whereas they do get their first-round picks again, they nonetheless have to determine a option to repair one of many league’s worst go rushes.
It is likely to be all-or-nothing on Trey Hendrickson.
The Browns have made a severe effort to enhance their offensive line this offseason, and made a few huge strikes on Tuesday. Together with re-signing veteran Teven Jenkins, in addition they agreed to a deal with lately launched Packers offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins. These strikes go together with the earlier settlement for Zion Johnson and the commerce for Tytus Howard.
Whereas it was virtually definitely troublesome for the Raiders to attempt to commerce their chief and finest participant, getting two first-round picks, together with the No. 14 total decide within the 2026 NFL Draft, would have been a possible franchise-changer in the long term. Now they don’t have these picks and nonetheless should discover a option to take care of the Crosby state of affairs. They already agreed to main contracts within the aftermath of the commerce and will should ultimately half methods with Crosby anyway.
When and in the event that they do, it is not going to carry them again something near the identical potential return.
After intercepting zero passes in the course of the entirety of the 2025 season, the Jets have made a severe effort to vary that this offseason. They made one other huge settlement on Tuesday, agreeing to terms with Nahshon Wright. Wright had 5 extra interceptions by himself than the complete Jets group did in 2025. As a result of he had 5 of them.
Loser: Groups nonetheless ready to get entangled
The Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks particularly. Each groups had been among the many NFL’s remaining 4, with the Seahawks profitable the Tremendous Bowl, so it isn’t like they’ve a ton of wants on their rosters. However they’re two of the groups which have probably not reached any agreements with potential free brokers or made any trades, whereas the Seahawks have seen a number of key gamers attain agreements with different groups in the course of the tampering interval. There usually are not many big-time free brokers nonetheless looking for new groups.
