La’el Collins

After quarterback Joe Burrow was sacked 70 times during the regular season and playoffs, the Bengals desperately needed to strengthen their offensive line. Collins has been brought in to be Cincinnati’s right offensive tackle on a three-year contract.

Gerald Everett

The Los Angeles Chargers have given quarterback Justin Herbert a new target to aim for after signing tight end Gerald Everett on a two-year deal worth $12m, $8m of which are guaranteed. In 2021, Everett played 15 games for the Seahawks, registering a total of 48 receptions for 478 yards and four touchdowns.

Derrick Nnadi

The Chiefs have re-signed Nnadi because he has been one of the team’s most durable players in his time in Kansas City. The defensive tackle has only missed one out of a possible 65 games, starting 32 of them.

Cory Littleton

The Carolina Panthers have added Littleton to their roster on a one-year, $2.6m contract. At the Las Vegas Raiders last season, the linebacker was a starter in 13 out of 17 games, registering 98 tackles and four passes defended.
