More teams made tender/non-tender decisions on restricted and exclusive rights free agents today. Here are the latest updates:
RFAs
Non-tendered:
- Bears: LB Jack Sanborn
Despite 48 appearances, 19 starts, and 1,794 total snaps over the last three years, the Bears will not tender Sanborn, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler . While not considered a starting defender, Sanborn could draw interest in free agency as a backup linebacker and core special teams contributor.
ERFAs
Tendered:
- Browns: LB Winston Reid , TE Blake Whiteheart
- Cowboys: DB Juanyeh Thomas , OL Brock Hoffman
Non-tendered:
- Lions: OT Connor Galvin
Hoffman started the Cowboys’ last seven games of the 2024 season after Zack Martin went down for the season . He primarily played right guard, though he played 109 snaps at center and 19 at left guard, per Pro Football Focus (subscription required) . Martin retired last month , so Hoffman will likely compete for a starting role in 2025 while earning $1.1MM.
