August 19, 2025 by Pro Football Rumors

New England Patriots

  • Signed: DB Kam Alexander, OT Julian Pearl
  • Released: DL Breiden Fehoko , WR Roc Taylor , LB Devin Harper

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

  • Signed: S Will Brooks

Tennessee Titans

  • Signed: DT T.J. Smith

Ojemudia is returning to the NFL after playing for the UFL’s DC Defenders in the spring, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero . After starting 11 games for the Broncos as a rookie in 2020, he struggled with injuries and hasn’t played in the regular season since 2022.. The 27-year-old will add depth to a Cowboys cornerback room that isn’t expecting Trevon Diggs or Shavon Revel back until September . Second-year corner Caelen Carson is also dealing with a knee injury , so Ojemudia could get some snaps in Dallas’ last preseason game on Friday. A 53-man roster spot is unlikely given how late he signed with the team, but a strong first week could keep him in contention for the practice squad.

Winfree, a five-year veteran, will land with his fourth NFL team after a workout in Houston. The Texans also worked out former Chiefs wideout Cornell Powell , according to KRPC2’s Aaron Wilson .

Freeland, a 2023 fourth-round pick, started nine games as a rookie and spent 2024 as the Colts’ swing tackle. He will be out for the season with a fractured leg, per Colts.com writer JJ Stankevitz , as will Phillips (bicep), who hasn’t played in the regular season since 2022. Wohler sustained a Lisfranc injury, according to Joel Erickson of the Indianapolis Star . The seventh-round safety will miss his rookie year after appearing to carve out a role in the Colts defense with an impressive preseason.
