NFL Reserve/Futures Deals: 2/17/26

A handful of reserve/futures deals:

New England Patriots

• CB Brandon Crossley

Tennessee Titans

• DE Earnest Brown IV, OT Ryan Hayes

Earnest Brown IV brings the most experience of the bunch, as the defensive end has appeared in 15 games (three starts) through five seasons in the NFL. The former fifth-round pick out of Northwestern spent the first chunk of his career with the Rams, where he compiled 14 tackles. He also earned a Super Bowl ring during his tenure in Los Angeles. Since his Rams stint came to an end, he’s spent time with the 49ers, Buccaneers, and Cowboys. Now, he’ll look to revive his career in Tennessee.
