NFL Free Agency Sees Key Player Signings

The National Football League's 2026 free agency period saw significant player movements and contract agreements on March 11, 2026. The Baltimore Ravens signed four-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Trey Hendrickson to a four-year, $112 million contract, including $60 million guaranteed, following his 2024 NFL sacks leadership. This move occurred after the Ravens pivoted from five-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Maxx Crosby.

Concurrently, the Indianapolis Colts re-signed quarterback Daniel Jones to a two-year deal worth up to $100 million, with a guaranteed $88 million. Jones, who suffered a torn Achilles in Week 14 of the 2025 season, had led the Colts to the NFL's top scoring offense (32.1 PPG) and total offense (396.9 yards per game) through the first 10 weeks of 2025. The Washington Commanders also bolstered their roster by signing safety Nick Cross to a two-year contract worth up to $14 million. Cross tied for the most run stops among safeties in 2025 with 33, addressing the Commanders' 30th-ranked run defense.
