The moves are starting to flow in

Kyle’s update, 10:55 a.m. PT: Christian Wilkins signs a 4-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders worth $110 million.

The Vikings have entered the Saquon Barkley sweepstakes:

Kyle’s update, Monday, 9:45 a.m.: Here are the signings from Monday morning:

  • The Minnesota Vikings signed Houston Texans edge rusher Jonathan Greenard to a four-year, $76 million deal.
  • The Tennessee Titans signed former Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard
  • D’Andre Swift signs a two-year deal with the Chicago Bears for $16.5 million
  • The Buffalo Bills signed left tackle Dion Dawkins to a contract extension, making him one of the league’s highest-paid tackles. It’s a three-year extension worth $60.5 million.
  • The Indianapolis Colts gave wide receiver Michael Pittman a three-year, $70 million deal with $46 million guaranteed.
  • The Philadelphia Eagles made Landon Dickerson the highest-paid guard in the NFL. It’s a 4-year extension worth $84 million.
  • Cincinnati wide receiver Tee Higgins has requested a trade

The fun is already beginning in the NFL as teams are beginning to make deals. The San Francisco 49ers made a surprise cut when they released Arik Armstead on Sunday night.

At the NFL Combine, there were rumors that Russell Wilson would sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers. That rumors became fact on Sunday night:

ESPN’s Adam Schefter framed it like Wilson is signing a “prove it” deal with the Steelers. He’ll compete against Kenny Pickett for the Pittsburgh QB purgatory spot to continue for another season.

  • That wasn’t the only quarterback news from Sunday, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers gave Baker Mayfield a three-year deal worth $100 million with $50 million guaranteed.
  • The Chicago Bears agreed to a two-year deal with former Titans and Eagles All-Pro safety Kevin Byard, worth a $15 million base.
  • Former Niners CB Isaiah Oliver agreed to terms with the New York Jets on a one-year deal.
  • On Saturday, the Denver Broncos traded wide receiver Jerry Jeudy to the Cleveland Browns.
  • Any pipe dream of the 49ers adding Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson lived a brief life as he agreed to a 4-year deal worth $76 million
