Locked On NFL – Daily Podcast On The National Football League

Dallas Cowboys’ regrets hit hard after trading Micah Parsons and scrambling to patch defensive holes with a flurry of signings and costly pass-rush gambles. Jerry Jones’s front office takes center stage as Tony Wiggins and David Harrison question if signing George Pickens to a massive deal or hunting bargain pass rushers can truly fill Parsons’ void—or if this reflects deeper roster management woes in Dallas. Meanwhile, Philadelphia Eagles add Hollywood Brown but concerns linger: Can his speed truly revitalize Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown’s offense, or is the scheme the real issue?

Elsewhere, the Washington Commanders prioritize protecting Jayden Daniels and bolster their defense with strategic free-agent signings, while the New York Giants channel Baltimore Ravens’ power running identity with additions like Patrick Ricard and Cam Scadaboo. Are the Giants emerging as serious NFC East contenders? Breakdowns, hot takes, and NFC shakeups—don’t miss the latest NFL power moves and missteps.

Jaylen Waddle will be going from the Miami Dolphins to the Denver Broncos in a massive trade and it is a masterful move by the Broncos who sure up their biggest weakness with a high-level player that will make an instant impact. For the Dolphins, this is another sign they are tanking in 2026, but how can they get a good look at Malik Willis without any talent around him? Makes the move look more questionable. With the first week of NFL Free Agency gone, now we can sit back and see who were some of the biggest losers in the process and you have to start with two third-year quarterbacks in JJ McCarthy and Michael Penix. Neither have earned commitment from their teams and bringing in a veteran makes that even more clear. Team wise, not many teams have lost as much talent as the Seattle Seahawks who will have a very difficult time repeating with all of the losses they have seen. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers also lost a lot of talent like Mike Evans, whose value cannot be replaced or replicated easily.

Denver Broncos reshape their offense by landing Jaylen Waddle in a blockbuster trade, pairing explosive speed with Courtland Sutton and rookie Bo Nix. Is this aggressive move enough to keep Denver atop the AFC West amid a resurgent Kansas City Chiefs? Tony Wiggins and Kevin Oestreicher debate whether Waddle’s injury history and Denver’s first-round pick price tag signal risk or reward, while Locked On Broncos insider Cody Roark offers perspective on the team’s strategy.

Key NFL talking points include the Los Angeles Rams' rumored pursuit of AJ Brown and potential trade of Davante Adams, Kansas City’s speculated hunt for left tackle Trent Williams, and the Jets’ savvy move to recoup value for Justin Fields. Insightful analysis covers the Titans’ draft capital dilemma and San Francisco 49ers’ high-character additions like Mike Evans. Will veteran stars or young playmakers define next season’s power shifts in the league?

Kyler Murray is the biggest winner of free agency in the NFL so far for obvious reasons. Not only does he get to rehab his image with Minnesota Vikings, but he also gets to do it while being paid tons of money by his former team, the Arizona Cardinals. It is a perfect halfway house for Murray at this time. Similarly, Justin Fields will be changing teams and going from one of the worst organizations, the New York Jets, to one of the best in the Kansas City Chiefs. This gives him a great chance to repair his image and grow as a player without much pressure. From a team perspective, the Los Angeles Rams CRUSHED free agency by getting a cornerback via trade and via a signing. Snagging Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson was brilliant for a team that needed real help at the spot. The New York Giants made no splashy signings, but were still able to add tremendous help around Jaxson Dart for year two. Finally, free agency is all about money after all and no one broke the bank quite like Daniel Jones with the Indianapolis Colts and Tyler Linderbaum with the Las Vegas Raiders!

With the first week of NFL Free Agency in the books it is time to look back at the winners and losers, starting with the San Francisco 49ers who hit big with their signing of Mike Evans and their trade for Osa Odighizuwa. This sets them up to make a big push back to the top of the NFC. The Pittsburgh Steelers also did well to build up their roster even if they can't have championship aspirations in 2026. Big losers include the Jacksonville Jaguars who did not actively improve their roster while also losing some key talent, but they are joined by the Houston Texans in that category. Finally, the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens did not do enough to advance themselves forward so far.
