Updated NFL Salary Cap Outlook for All 32 Teams Entering Week 4 of Free Agency 2026

It may seem hard to believe, but NFL free agency kicked off a full three weeks ago. Since then, we've seen dozens of high-profile players sign with new teams, along with a handful of impactful trades.

While free agency is approaching the one-month mark—and will soon be completely overshadowed by April's draft—quality talent remains available. The third wave of free agency will inevitably bring some valuable bargains, though not every team is financially positioned to capitalize.

Here, we'll examine the league's updated salary cap landscape, recap some of free agency's latest moves, and dive into what may come next.

Week 3 Recap

Joe Flacco

Considering just how wild the opening week of free agency was, the last two have been quite anticlimactic. Week 2, at least, brought the blockbuster Jaylen Waddle trade.

Week 3 wasn't filled with headline moves, though a few notable players did come off the board. The Cincinnati Bengals, for example, brought back Joe Flacco to be Joe Burrow's understudy. Given Burrow's lengthy injury history and Flacco's strong 2025 play—he was a Pro Bowl alternate—this was a savvy move by Cincinnati.

The Atlanta Falcons added another quarterback to their roster, bringing in Trevor Siemian to provide depth behind Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. Atlanta also added running back Brian Robinson Jr. With Tyler Allgeier heading to the Arizona Cardinals, Robinson will likely step in as Bijan Robinson's new backfield mate.

Fantasy football enthusiasts may have to be extra careful to add the right "B. Robinson, Atlanta Falcons" early in their drafts this summer.

Wide receiver Elijah Moore signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, while offensive lineman Ben Bartch signed with the Detroit Lions, and safety Damar Hamlin re-signed with the Buffalo Bills. None of these moves are going to move the offseason needle, but they are valuable depth additions that could pay dividends during the regular season.

Perhaps the biggest development of Week 3 didn't involve a signing or trade at all. Longtime Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David announced his retirement on Tuesday.

"I feel it's time to move on and find a different path in life," David said, per ESPN's Jenna Laine. "...People see me as Lavonte David the football player but who is Lavonte David? The main thing is being a great father."

David spent 14 seasons as a Buccaneers starter. He recorded 114 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and an interception this past season and would have been one of free agency's top remaining defenders if he had decided to continue playing.

QB Aaron Rodgers

As previously noted, the collective football world is turning its attention to the 2026 NFL draft, which is less than a month away. Several notable players may have to wait until closer to the draft, or even after it, to find new homes.

The Bleacher Report Scouting Department's latest mock draft can be found here.

However, several starting-caliber free agents remain available. The list includes quarterback Aaron Rodgers, wideout Stefon Diggs, wide receiver Jauan Jennings, and edge-rusher Joey Bosa. Rodgers is probably the biggest name to watch because his future is directly tied to the Pittsburgh Steelers' 2026 quarterback plan.

Pittsburgh, at this point, appears to be the only team without a solid QB plan, though Mason Rudolph and second-year man Will Howard do give the Steelers some options. The Steelers, along with new head coach Mike McCarthy, are content to wait and see what Rodgers decides to do.

Rodgers may play again in 2026, most likely for Pittsburgh, or choose to retire. The 42-year-old hasn't provided many hints about which way he's leaning.

"I don't know. I would love to tell everybody [there is] breaking news," McCarthy told CBS Sports' Kevin Harlan (h/t Nick Farabaugh of PennLive).

Rodgers is probably the biggest quarterback domino left to drop, though seasoned veterans like Kirk Cousins and Tyrod Taylor also remain available.
