What happened: Ferrell joins the offseason roster after appearing in nine games in 2025. Saunders arrived in May as part of an 11-player undrafted free-agent class.
Why it matters: The move adds a veteran edge option ahead of the 2026 season and ends Saunders' first stint with the club. Ferrell entered the NFL as the No. 4 pick in 2019.
By the numbers: Ferrell totaled 25 tackles and four sacks across nine games in 2025. He has 170 tackles and 21 sacks in 98 career games.
What to watch: Ferrell's role in the edge rotation will come into focus during training camp. Saunders will go through waivers.
