Chidobe Awuzie CB | TEN
Ravens' Chidobe Awuzie: Signs with Baltimore
The Ravens signed Awuzie to a one-year deal Tuesday.
Awuzie racked up 26 tackles (17 solo) and an interception in eight games for the Titans last season prior to being released earlier this month. He could provide some much-needed depth at cornerback for the Ravens, who are currently shorthanded at the position.

Steven Sims WR | BAL
Seahawks' Steven Sims: Signs with Seattle
Sims and the Seahawks agreed on a one-year contract Tuesday, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.
Sims will head to Seattle after splitting the 2024 campaign between the Texans and the Ravens. The wide receiver combined to log nine total offensive snaps with Houston and Baltimore during the regular season, making the most of his damage as a return-specialist. He'll likely operate in a similar role with the Seahawks in 2025.

Stefon Diggs WR | HOU
Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Headed to New England
Diggs (knee) and the Patriots agreed on a three-year, $69 million contract including $26 million guaranteed Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Diggs will head to New England after an injury-shorted campaign with the Texans in 2024. The wide receiver caught 47 of 64 targets for 496 yards and three touchdowns while also adding eight yards and a score on the ground over eight games with Houston before suffering a season-ending torn ACL in Week 8 against the Colts. Once he moves past the injury, Diggs will have a clear path to a heavy target load as Drake Maye's de facto WR1 with the Patriots in 2025.

Russell Wilson QB | PIT
Giants' Russell Wilson: Joining Big Blue
The Giants and Wilson agreed to a one-year contract Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The Giants have been in search of a new starting quarterback since moving on from Daniel Jones last season, and Wilson seemingly will be the choice for them, at least initially in 2025, even with fellow offseason signing Jameis Winston on the roster and the draft still to come. Wilson will receive $10.5 million guaranteed upon signing with the potential to make $21 million this season. In 11 regular-season appearances (all starts) in his only campaign with the Steelers in 2024, he completed 214 of 336 passes (63.7 percent) for 2,482 yards, 16 touchdowns and five interceptions, had 43 carries for 155 yards and two more TDs and fumbled five times (four lost).

Sua Opeta OG | TB
Buccaneers' Sua Opeta: Re-signs with Tampa Bay
The Buccaneers re-signed Opeta (knee) on Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Opeta spent the entire 2024 campaign on IR due to an ACL tear sustained early in training camp, but the 28-year-old should be cleared for the start of offseason activities. He'll offer valuable depth for the interior of an O-line that returns all five starters.

Ian Thomas TE | LV
Raiders' Ian Thomas: Lands in Las Vegas
The Raiders signed Thomas (calf) to a contract Tuesday.
Thomas spent the first seven seasons of his NFL career in Carolina, and he now bolsters a Raiders tight end corps led by 2024 rookie phenom Brock Bowers and trade candidate Michael Mayer. Thomas is capable of contributing in a depth role as both a blocker and pass catcher, so his presence could make it easier for the team to move on from Mayer. He appeared in five games (two starts) with the Panthers in 2024 before landing on IR with a calf injury, but Thomas figures to be ready to go for the start of offseason activities.

Nick McCloud CB | CHI
Bears' Nick McCloud: Lands in Chicago
McCloud signed a one-year contract with the Bears on Monday.
In 2024, the cornerback appeared in seven regular-season games with the Giants (162 defensive snaps, 115 special-teams snaps) and eight with the 49ers (52 defensive snaps, 97 special-teams snaps), recording 25 tackles (14 solo) in total as well as a pass defensed. McCloud has 16 starts in 48 career games, and his best statistical campaign came with the Giants in 2022, when he finished the regular season with 43 tackles (35 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and seven pass breakups. He should have a chance to compete for at least a depth role in Chicago.

Dillon Radunz OG | TEN
Saints' Dillon Radunz: Heading to New Orleans
Radunz signed a one-year deal with the Saints on Monday.
The 2021 second-round pick of the Titans spent his first four seasons with the team that drafted him, starting 26 of the 31 games he appeared in over the last two years. Radunz joins a potential guard rotation that includes incumbent starter Cesar Ruiz (69 starts in 75 career regular-season games) and a slew of less proven players in Nick Saldiveri (six career starts), Landon Young (12 career starts) and Kyle Hergel (no career starts).

Kendall Lamm OT | PHI
Eagles' Kendall Lamm: Signs with Philly
Lamm (undisclosed) signed a one-year deal with the Eagles on Monday, Peter Schrager of Fox Sports reports.
The offensive tackle was placed on injured reserve with an undisclosed issue by the Dolphins ahead of the team's season finale in early January. Lamm also dealt with a back injury in December. He projects as a swing tackle in Philadelphia behind All-Pros Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata.

Ugo Amadi CB | NO
Saints' Ugo Amadi: Staying in New Orleans
Amadi re-signed with the Saints on a one-year deal Monday.
The slot cornerback enjoyed his best season in 2024, recording career highs in tackles (65), solo tackles (52), sacks (2.0) and pass breakups (seven). Amadi got his chance in late October when Paulson Adebo went down with a season-ending broken femur, and he kept his spot the rest of the way. Adebo signed with the Giants earlier in March, so Amadi should at least get a chance to compete for a role with the Saints this summer.
