Indianapolis – Matthew Stafford chose to stay in Los Angeles. Deebo Samuel was sent to Washington.
Many NFL players are on the move when the free agency starts next week and the foundation of many transactions was built during the screening combination last week.
While 329 college prospects met in Indianapolis to present their skills, talk to the teams and undergo medical assessments, the leaders of the Front Office have had many conversations on the players of their lists and others that they plan to continue through the free agency or the trade.
There were a ton of buzz on several star players, including Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson and Myles Garrett.
Rodgers will become a free agent after the New York jets released him. The Director General of Jets, Darren Mougey, and coach Aaron Glenn addressed the decision and insisted that the objective of the franchise was to win now, despite the passage of a quadruple MVP of the NFL which experienced a disappointing two years in New York.
Garrett, the defensive player of the year 2023 AP, asked the Browns of Cleveland a profession last month. The director general of the Browns, Andrew Berry, and coach Kevin Stefanski insisted that the team is not interested in one of the best rushers in the League.
Several teams who need a quarter-Arrière discuss Rodgers, Wilson, Sam Darnold and Justin, aged 41. The New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders continued a potential staff for staff and had to concentrate after establishing a new contract with the Rams.
Rodgers has already said that he would like to play for a team that has a chance to win and that he would prefer hot weather. This excludes the giants, but there is a mutual interest between the two parties, said two people with knowledge of the conversations at the Associated Press.
Raiders would be an option for Rodgers if the coaches believe that it could integrate into the Chip Kelly offensive coordinator system. A team official told AP that an assessment had not yet been done. The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because the conversations are deprived, also said that a meeting between Wilson and the coach of the New Raiders Pete Carroll is unlikely. Darnold or Fields could be better for Las Vegas, who could select a quarter-back with the sixth overall choice of recovery.
Some teams are still uncertain of Darnold, which has experienced a break with the Vikings of Minnesota. Darnold led the Vikings to 14 wins, but had trouble in the last two games with the seeded n ° 1 on the line, then in a joker eliminatory match.
The Titans of Tennessee, who have the overall choice n ° 1 of the draft, need a starting quarter. The same goes for the Browns in No. 2 and the giants in n ° 3. The jets, who choose the seventh, said that they would be comfortable with Tyrod Taylor but should look for another veteran and should write a QB at the beginning.
Pittsburgh steelers will try to keep Wilson or fields or look for a veteran. Rodgers and Darnold are possibilities.
If the Browns decide to grant Garrett his request and his offers on the field, the two teams that fought in the NFC championship match could end up fighting for his services.
The Super Bowl champion, the Philadelphia Eagles, is not afraid to cause a sensation. The managing director Howie Roseman signed Saquon Barkley last year and he is a negotiator. The commanders have already added Samuel and abandoned only a choice of fifth round so that they have the opportunity to continue Garrett.
Some large receivers could join Samuel in motion, although Ja’mar Chase and Tee Higgins are not supposed to be among them. The Bengals of Cincinnati clearly indicated that they planned to keep the best play leaders of Joe Burrow.
But there was talk of Seattle Seahawks possibly discharge DK Metcalf. Raiders and Green Bay Packers are potential adjustments.
Stefon Diggs and Amari Cooper will be free agents. The two veterans will have options. Chris Godwin comes from a serious ankle injury and the Buccaneers of Tampa Bay want him to come back, but the price must be fair.
NFL’s off -season has only just begun.
