Free Agency tampering started out with a bang on Monday. Let’s get to the notes for the NFC North.

Vikings

Signed former Saint 1st round pick Marcus Davenport to a 1 year 13 million dollar deal. Bold move for an oft injured but talented player.

Signed Josh Oliver to a 3 year 21-million dollar deal. Two tight end sets with Hockensen coming

Signed back-up QB Nick Mullens for another season

Lost Erik Kendricks from a cut for cap space (signed with Chargers), lost Dalvin Tomlinson in FA to the Browns (4 years 57 million) and lost Patrick Peterson in FA to a 2 year deal with the Steelers. Cut Adam Thielen

Cut CB Cam Danztler for more cap room.

Vikings in cap hell but are still making some moves too with Oliver and Davenport. More cuts to come though

Lions

Signed CB Cam Sutton from the Steelers to a 3 year 33 million dollar deal

Re-signed Mike LB Alex Anzalone to a 3 year 18.5 million deal

Restructured Tracy Walker for 5 million in cap space

Re-signed NT Isiah Buggs to a 2 year 4.5 million dollar deal

Re-signed 3rd RB Craig Reynolds

Tendered 5 ERFAs in LS Scott Daly, LB Anthony Pittman (ST), TE Brock Wright, TE Shane Zylstra and NT Benito Jones.

Re-signed G/Center backup Ross Pierschbacher

Lions shore up some needs at CB, Mike LB, NT and backup G/C and RB.

Packers

Re-signed all pro KR Keisean Nixon to 1 year 6 million deal

Waiting on Aaron Rodgers to Jets trade that looks likely and will cause cap hit to go from 31 to 41 million

Restructured Bakhtiari, Kenny Clark, Preston Smith, Aaron Jones, and Jaire Alexander for extreme can kicking

Packers gonna build through the draft after the trade but keep a good returner.

Bears

Bears are in cap heaven and draft pick heaven now

Traded pick 1 to the Carolina Panthers for pick 9, Round 2 pick 61 2023, Round 1 2024, DJ Moore and Round 2 2025. Poles fleeced the Panthers

Signed Tremaine Edmunds for 4 years 72 million at LB.

Signed LB TJ Edwards for 3 years 19.5 million

Signed Nate Davis G for 3 years 30 million

Signed DE Demarcus Walker for 3 years 21 million

Re-signed LS Patrick Scales

Released DE Al Quadin Muhammed for 4 million in space

GM Ryan Poles for the Bears put in some work, which they really needed to add talent.
