However, I received a suggestion to post all of the latest rumors in a daily format for those interested in multiple teams. That's what I've done on this new NFL Rumors page. Follow @walterfootball for NFL Rumors Updates.
Arizona Cardinals:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/12: Nate Davis and Garrett Bradbury are under-the-radar targets for the Cardinals. - Mike Jurecki, Arizona Football Daily
Both would fill huge needs on the offensive line. Jurecki, the best team reporter in the business, points out that Davis has ties to Monti Ossenfort from the Titans.
Atlanta Falcons:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/22: Calais Campbell will be visiting the Falcons. - Mike Garafolo, NFL Network
It would be a sad end to Campbell's great career. Campbell is still a difference-maker and can help a Super Bowl contender. The Falcons are obviously not a Super Bowl contender.
3/16: The Falcons are interested in Darius Slayton. - Cam Marino, StackingTheBoard.com
Atlanta desperately needs receiver help beyond Drake London, so the fit makes sense.
3/13: The Falcons, 49ers and Giants have shown interest in Tre Herndon. - Josina Anderson, CBS Sports
Herndon is just a mediocre free agent cornerback, so these teams shouldn't overspend for him.
3/7: The Falcons will not pursue Lamar Jackson. - Dianna Marie Russini, ESPN
Atlanta has no desire to win in the near future, apparently.
Baltimore Ravens:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
4/3: The Ravens have made an offer to Odell Beckham. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
I imagine Beckham wants to see what happens with Lamar Jackson before accepting it. He's also waiting on the Aaron Rodgers trade.
3/17: Rock Ya-Sin is visiting the Ravens. - Howard Schultz, TheScore
Marcus Peters is a free agent, so Ya-Sin would be a viable, younger replacement.
Buffalo Bills:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/23: The DeAndre Hopkins trade speculation is headlined by the Bills. - Aaron Wilson, KPRC2
Hopkins also tweeted out the lyrics, "Buffalo soldier." It seems as though the Bills will obtain Hopkins as their new No. 2 receiver.
3/12: The Bills, Bengals and Jets are interested in Jamaal Williams. - Tyler Dunne, Go Long
All three teams make sense for Williams, including the Jets, given that Breece Hall is coming off a torn ACL.
Carolina Panthers:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/14: Adam Thielen is visiting the Panthers. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
Carolina has nothing in its receiving corps, so Thielen would be a decent addition, provided Carolina doesn't overpay him.
3/7: The Panthers are not expected to be in the Lamar Jackson market. - Joe Person, The Athletic
Carolina may love a quarterback or two in the 2023 NFL Draft class, which would explain this decision.
Chicago Bears:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/13: The Bears are targeting Mike McGlinchey. - Dianna Marie Russini, ESPN
This would be a huge signing for a Chicago team that really needs to bolster its offensive line.
Cincinnati Bengals:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/23: Ezekiel Elliott has narrowed down his options to the Bengals, Jets, and Eagles. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
Elliott would likely be a goal-line hammer No. 2 back for all three teams. He's washed up, but he's still very effective in short yardage.
3/17: Foster Moreau is visiting the Bengals. - Field Yates, ESPN
Hayden Hurst is gone, so Cincinnati has to address its need at tight end.
3/17: Jonah Williams has requested a trade. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
Williams is upset that Orlando Brown will be taking his spot, and understandably so. Williams had injury issues early in his career, but he has missed just two games in the past couple of seasons.
3/12: The Bills, Bengals and Jets are interested in Jamaal Williams. - Tyler Dunne, Go Long
All three teams make sense for Williams, including the Jets, given that Breece Hall is coming off a torn ACL.
Cleveland Browns:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/21: Marquise Goodwin is visiting the Browns. - Mary Kay Cabot, Cleveland Plain-Dealer
Goodwin revitalized his career last year with a solid showing with the Seahawks. He would be a fine No. 3 receiver in Cleveland.
Dallas Cowboys:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/10: The Cowboys and Chargers have called Bobby Wagner. - Jordan Schultz, TheScore
Wagner is one of the top linebackers on the market, and both teams could really use help at the position.
Denver Broncos:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/15: The Broncos are interested in Chuancey Gardner-Johnson. - Aaron Wilson, NBC Houston
Kareem Jackson is a free agent, so the Broncos will need to replace him with a younger talent.
3/12: The Broncos have interest in signing Jameis Winston as a backup for Russell Wilson. - Mike Klis, 9News Denver
This makes so much sense because Sean Payton has a history with Winston, and it's not like Wilson is guaranteed to hold his job after struggling so much last year.
3/12: The Broncos have a lot of interest in Zach Allen. - Mike Jurecki, Arizona Football Daily
The connection is Vance Joseph, is now running Denver's defense. Allen would help Denver's run defense.
Detroit Lions:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/27: Calais Campbell is scheduled to meet with the Lions. - Josina Anderson, CBS Sports
Campbell would take Detroit's emerging defense to another level, making them an even better bet to reach the Super Bowl.
Green Bay Packers:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/15: Aaron Rodgers said that his intention is to play for the Jets in 2022. - , Pat McAfee Show
"The Packers would like to move on," Rodgers said. Rodgers noted the only holdup at the moment is the compensation Green Bay is seeking for him.
3/13: Aaron Rodgers being traded to the Jets "is done." - Trey Wingo, Pro Football Network
Jets players have been busy posting emojis all day, so perhaps we'll see more of those in the coming hours.
3/12: Aaron Rodgers said that it won't be long before his makes his decision. - Aaron Rodgers
There have been conflicting reports about whether or not the Packers and Jets have a deal in place. Nevertheless, it seems as though Rodgers is inching toward joining the Jets.
Houston Texans:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/15: Denzel Perryman will visit the Texans. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
Houston desperately needs someone like Perryman, who would provide a huge boost for its dismal run defense.
3/14: The Texans and Chiefs are discussing a trade surrounding Laremy Tunsil. - Aaron Wilson, KPRC2
The Chiefs replaced Andrew Wylie with Jawaan Taylor, but they still need another tackle to fill Orlando Brown's shoes.
3/7: There is push within the building for the Texans to sign Jimmy Garoppolo. - Jonathan Jones, CBS
This would be a waste of time for Garoppolo because Houston is set to select a franchise quarterback with the No. 2 overall pick.
Indianapolis Colts:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/27: Colts GM Chris Ballard didn't dismiss the possibility of pursuing Lamar Jackson. -
The Colts won't get the top two quarterbacks, so Jackson may look appealing comparing to Anthony Richardson and Will Levis. The Colts are the only team that didn't shoot down the possibility of trading for Jackson.
3/20: The Colts didn't rule out acquiring Lamar Jackson. - Stephen Holder, ESPN
Stuck with the fourth pick, the Colts may end up with a quarterback they don't want, so acquiring Jackson would make a ton of sense.
3/16: The Colts are interested in Gardner Minshew. - Zak Keefer, The Athletic
A veteran quarterback is needed to mentor whomever Indianapolis drafts No. 4 overall, and Gardner Minshew can start until that quarterback is ready. Minshew is the top quarterback available in my free agent quarterback rankings.
3/12: The Colts could trade or cut Ryan Kelly. - Jeremy Fowler, ESPN
Kelly is one of the better centers in the NFL, so teams looking to bolster the position will be thrilled.
Kansas City Chiefs:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/18: D.J. Chark is on the Chiefs' radar. - , Chiefs Insider
JuJu Smith-Schuster is gone, so the Chiefs need to find someone to replace him. Chark could end up being an upgrade.
3/14: The Texans and Chiefs are discussing a trade surrounding Laremy Tunsil. - Aaron Wilson, KPRC2
The Chiefs replaced Andrew Wylie with Jawaan Taylor, but they still need another tackle to fill Orlando Brown's shoes.
3/12: Laremy Tunsil could be the Chiefs' target to replace Orlando Brown. - Dan Graziano, ESPN
Left tackle would be a big need for the Chiefs if Brown leaves, so Tunsil would be a great replacement.
Las Vegas Raiders:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/18: Blaine Gabbert visited the Raiders. - Field Yates, ESPN
Maybe he just wanted to see a show in Vegas because the fit doesn't really work.
3/14: The Jets and Raiders have interest in Marcedes Lewis. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
This is like the nerdy kid inviting the hot girl's ugly friends over to a party so the hot girl attends.
3/13: The Raiders are expected to be in on Jimmy Garoppolo. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
This will provide some insurance to the Raiders if they can't get the quarterback they want in the 2023 NFL Draft. The pairing makes sense, as Josh McDaniels coached Garoppolo in New England.
Los Angeles Chargers:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/15: The Chargers have shown interest in signing Dalton Schultz. - Jordan Schultz, The Score
Another weapon for Justin Herbert? Why not? Schultz would be a great threat over the middle for Herbert.
3/13: The Chargers are targeting John Johnson. - Jeremy Fowler, ESPN
Stuck in a division with Patrick Mahomes for the next dozen years, the Chargers need all the help they can get in the secondary.
3/13: Austin Ekeler is requesting permission to seek a trade. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
Ekeler and the Chargers have hit an impasse in contract negotiations, apparently.
3/10: The Cowboys and Chargers have called Bobby Wagner. - Jordan Schultz, TheScore
Wagner is one of the top linebackers on the market, and both teams could really use help at the position.
Los Angeles Rams:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/28: The Rams are playing out the idea of trading Allen Robinson. - Jordan Rodrigue, The Athletic
It's unclear why the Rams think anyone would want an old receiver who can't get open anymore. Robinson will be cut after this season.
3/12: The Rams want to get rid of Jalen Ramsey. - Charlie Campbell, WalterFootball.com
Rams sources told Campbell that Ramsey is a bad teammate, and there is some animosity for him because he got a coach fired.
3/1: NFL teams don't believe Jalen Ramsey is worth a first-round pick. - Charlie Campbell, WalterFootball.com
The Rams would love to trade Ramsey because they don't have much draft capital despite needing to rebuild. However, they're unlikely to get a first-round choice for Ramsey, who has slowed down, according to Charlie's sources.
Miami Dolphins:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/14: The Dolphins are monitoring Dalvin Cook's availability. - Barry Jackson, Miami Herald
Miami just re-signed Raheem Mostert, but still has a hole at running back. Cook could be available via trade.
3/8: The Dolphins won't be pursuing Lamar Jackson. - Jeff Darlington, ESPN
In fact, the Dolphins won't be going after any starting quarterbacks, according to Darlington, as Mike McDaniel is such a big believer in Tua Tagovailoa.
Minnesota Vikings:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/14: The Vikings have had discussions with Byron Murphy and Sean Murphy-Bunting. - Darren Wolfson, 5 Eyewitness News
The Vikings want any and all Murphys to play in their secondary, which has some serious holes.
3/12: The Vikings plan on trading Dalvin Cook and re-signing Alexander Mattison. - Jeremy Fowler, ESPN
Cook is overpaid and injury-prone, while Mattison, who isn't much worse than Cook, would be a much cheaper option. This would allow the Vikings to clear up cap space and while not hurting their roster at all.
New England Patriots:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
4/3: The Patriots have been shopping Mac Jones this offseason. - Mike Florio, PFT
This further makes me wonder why Belichick didn't go with Bailey Zappe in the second half of the season last year.
3/29: The Patriots will not trade for Lamar Jackson this offseason. - Jeff Howe, The Athletic
Scratch off another team that could trade for Jackson. Thus far, the Colts have been the only team to show interest in a deal for Jackson.
3/16: Taylor Rapp is visiting the Patriots. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
New England lost some key members of its secondary in recent offseasons, so it makes sense to sign a talented, young safety like Rapp.
3/16: Andrew Van Ginkel is visiting the Patriots. - Jordan Schultz, The Score
Van Ginkel is the sort of versatile linebacker Bill Belichick likes to have in his defense, so the fit makes sense.
3/15: The Patriots have interest in JuJu Smith-Schuster. - Andrew Callahan, Boston Herald
They must not have watched him the past three years. Or, they're that desperate for a receiver.
3/15: The Patriots have called about the availability of DeAndre Hopkins and Jerry Jeudy. - Jeff Howe, The Athletic
New England is desperate for a receiver with Jakobi Meyers gone. The asking price for Jeudy seems to be too high - the Broncos want a first-round pick - but Hopkins could be available.
New York Giants:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/18: A'Shawn Robinson is visiting the Giants. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
It's not an ideal fit because the Giants' defensive line is set. Robinson would just be a depth player.
3/15: The Giants are interested in Mecole Hardman and D.J. Chark. - Art Stapleton, The Record
Both receivers have disappointed in recent years, but the receiver market is pretty brutal this spring. The Giants will need to draft a receiver to really upgrade the position.
3/13: The Falcons, 49ers and Giants have shown interest in Tre Herndon. - Josina Anderson, CBS Sports
Herndon is just a mediocre free agent cornerback, so these teams shouldn't overspend for him.
New York Jets:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
4/12: The Jets are interested in making a run at DeAndre Hopkins. - Albert Breer, MMQB
Odell Beckham was expected to sign with the Jets. Beckham is now with Baltimore, so it would make sense for the Jets to pursue another 31-year-old receiver.
3/30: Odell Beckham Jr. has multiple offers on the table, with the Jets being the front-runner. - Dan Graziano, ESPN
Beckham could be waiting on Aaron Rodgers to be traded to the Jets. Once that happens, he may sign with them to replace Elijah Moore.
3/23: Ezekiel Elliott has narrowed down his options to the Bengals, Jets, and Eagles. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
Elliott would likely be a goal-line hammer No. 2 back for all three teams. He's washed up, but he's still very effective in short yardage.
3/23: The Jets' interest in Odell Beckham Jr. is very real. - Connor Hughes, The Athletic
Beckham might be washed up, but he would still be a distraction for opposing defenses, which could allow Garrett Wilson to have a huge year.
3/19: Ben Jones is a name to watch for the Jets. - Brian Costello, New York Post
The Jets need a center and have shown interest in second-round center prospects. If they don't land the player they'd like, they could sign someone after the draft.
3/14: The Jets and Raiders have interest in Marcedes Lewis. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
This is like the nerdy kid inviting the hot girl's ugly friends over to a party so the hot girl attends.
3/14: The Jets are working to sign Allen Lazard. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
They must really want to reunite Lazard with Nathaniel Hackett. That must be the end game here.
3/12: Aaron Rodgers said that it won't be long before his makes his decision. - Aaron Rodgers
There have been conflicting reports about whether or not the Packers and Jets have a deal in place. Nevertheless, it seems as though Rodgers is inching toward joining the Jets.
3/12: The Bills, Bengals and Jets are interested in Jamaal Williams. - Tyler Dunne, Go Long
All three teams make sense for Williams, including the Jets, given that Breece Hall is coming off a torn ACL.
Philadelphia Eagles:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/23: Ezekiel Elliott has narrowed down his options to the Bengals, Jets, and Eagles. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
Elliott would likely be a goal-line hammer No. 2 back for all three teams. He's washed up, but he's still very effective in short yardage.
3/7: Marcus Mariota is the best bet for the Eagles' No. 2 quarterback. - Bo Wulf, The Athletic
Gardner Minshew is an impending free agent, so it would make sense for Philadelphia to target Mariota.
Pittsburgh Steelers:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/16: The Steelers would like to bring back Bud Dupree. - Josina Anderson, CBS Sports
Dupree went to the Titans a couple of years ago, but had done nothing since. However, he might be fully recovered from the torn ACL he suffered prior to the move to Tennessee.
San Francisco 49ers:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/13: The Falcons, 49ers and Giants have shown interest in Tre Herndon. - Josina Anderson, CBS Sports
Herndon is just a mediocre free agent cornerback, so these teams shouldn't overspend for him.
Seattle Seahawks:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/16: Devin Bush will visit the Seahawks. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
Seattle needs linebacker help, so it can kick the tires on Bush, a former first-round draft bust who still has some potential.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/13: The Buccaneers are attempting to trade Shaq Mason. - Jeremy Fowler, ESPN
Tampa Bay may have to release Mason, so it doesn't have much leverage.
3/13: The Buccaneers have shown interest in Jacoby Brissett. - Dianna Marie Russini, ESPN
Brissett would be a fine, short-term option while the Buccaneers find a quarterback for the long haul.
3/12: The Buccaneers are expected to pursue Baker Mayfield as a potential starting quarterback. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
Tampa Bay's front office apparently didn't watch Mayfield in most of his games last year. Mayfield should be a backup attempting to repair his career at the moment.
Washington Redskins:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/20: Anthony Walker is visiting the Redskins. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
Walker would be a huge upgrade for the Redskins, who have endured issues at linebacker for quite some time.
3/7: The Redskins are unlikely to pursue Lamar Jackson. - Kimberly Martin, ESPN
They have Slingin' Sammy Howell, so why would they pursue a downgrade!?
