What happened: A roundup of Friday's NFL news has New England Patriots offensive lineman Mike Onwenu agreeing to a revised 2026 contract that includes a pay cut. Separately, the New York Giants fear wide receiver Gunner Olszewski tore his Achilles after he was carted off during a workout. Neither development is a game result; both are offseason roster items as the league sits in the 2026 offseason.

Why it matters: Onwenu's reworked deal reshapes the Patriots' offensive line cost structure as the team builds toward the 2026 season. The feared Olszewski Achilles, meanwhile, deepens a worrying trend in New York, where three Giants have already torn Achilles in spring workouts as the injury cluster grows, putting depth at receiver and special teams at risk before camp.

What to watch: Watch for the Giants to confirm Olszewski's diagnosis after imaging and to weigh a roster move if the tear is confirmed. On the Patriots side, the revised Onwenu deal sets his place on the line heading into the offseason program.
