The Dallas Cowboys signed former Falcons safety Keanu Neal. The New York Giants signed Kenny Golladay. When asked about why he signed with the Giants he reportedly said, “Just the pieces on offense. Those guys actually kind of reached out to me and I liked the vision that Coach Joe Judge had and Jason Garrett, as far as the offense, and I was all the way in.”

The Arizona Cardinals signed veteran wide receiver A.J. Green. When asked about the signing Cardinals Head Coach Kliff Kingsbury reportedly said, “To be able to do what he’s done from Year 1 to Year 2 without an offseason, I’m excited to see where it heads next. I think we all know the talent is immense, and he has a chance to be as good as anybody in this league.” The Miami Dolphins signed wide receiver Will Fuller V.
