The first full week of free agency is in the rearview, and while the New England Patriots likely aren't done making moves, things have slowed considerably from the initial spree of roster signings. This wasn't the 2025 free agency period when the Patriots spent the most money overhauling one of the worst rosters in the NFL.

The first wave of 2026 NFL free agency re-shaped the image of the league at large. Here's one takeaway for each of the 32 teams.

The Patriots 2026 roster has started to take shape. Last week, the team trotted out eight of their recently-signed free agents, making them available to the media. There could be more additions prior to the NFL Draft late next month where the Patriots hold 11 picks.

Including two trades, the Green Bay Packers made several key moves during the first week of NFL free agency. Here is our projected depth chart.

One week after being released by the Arizona Cardinals, Dalvin Tomlinson has a new NFL home. The Los Angeles Chargers announced on Friday that they had reached an agreement on a contract with the former Alabama defensive tackle.

The NFL schedule is starting to take shape

Mike Macdonald and the Seattle Seahawks appear poised to begin the 2026 NFL season with a rare Wednesday opener.

The league would normally have a Thursday night season opener and then had an international game on Friday, the last two years in Brazil. This year, the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers will play in Melbourne, Australia, in Week 1. That will happen on Thursday, Sept. 10.
