The Bears re-signed Williams on Monday.

Analysis: Chicago tendered Williams in early March, and the 26-year-old will be back for a second year with the organization for the 2025 season. Williams worked in a rotational role last season, posting 23 tackles (17 solo), including 3.0 sacks, over 17 games after not logging any time in the NFL in 2023. He'll likely have a similar role in 2025, though it's worth noting that Williams logged at least 46 percent of Chicago's defensive snaps in each of the team's final five games, so he could see the field relatively often if he performs well.

The Vikings released Wright on Monday.

Analysis: Minnesota traded for Wright last August in a deal with Dallas for Andrew Booth. Wright ended up playing in just one game for the Vikings, logging 15 snaps on special teams and none on defense. He played more on special teams than on defense during his three years with the Cowboys as well and would likely be asked to accept a similar role if he lands with another organization.

The Raiders re-signed Snowden on Monday.

Analysis: Snowden was an exclusive rights free agent, and he'll return for a second year in Vegas. The 27-year-old started in nine of the 16 games in which he played last season, finishing with 39 tackles (18 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and four pass breakups. Snowden will likely be used in a rotational role next season if Malcolm Koonce (knee) and Maxx Crosby (ankle) are ready to suit up by the time the campaign kicks off, as expected.
