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
3/15: Jeff Gladney is visiting the Cardinals. - Jordan Schultz, The Game Day NFL
Arizona needs cornerback help. Gladney has off-the-field issues, but the Cardinals are desperate at the position.
3/14: The Jaguars are expected to make a push for Christian Kirk. - Kyle Odegard, Compare.bet
Trevor Lawrence needs weapons, but something tells me the Jaguars will overpay for the Arizona wideout.
Atlanta Falcons:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/17: Damien Williams is visiting the Falcons. - Field Yates, ESPN
Williams is best known for his hot finish in 2019 and then his decision to derail his own career by sitting out in 2020. He could be an upgrade in Atlanta.
3/17: Tre'Quan Smith is visiting the Falcons. - D. Orlando Ledbetter, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Smith will be able to disappoint another NFC South team if he signs with Atlanta.
3/16: Jarvis Landry is visiting the Falcons. - Dianna Marie Russini, ESPN
This would be a fine replacement for Russell Gage, provided the Falcons move on from Matt Ryan. Pairing Landry with Ryan would prevent the Falcons from hitting rock bottom, which they need to do in order to rebuild.
3/15: The Falcons have emerged as a sleeper team to obtain Deshaun Watson. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
Atlanta should do everything in its power to acquire Watson, as it'll finally get out of the purgatory it is in with Matt Ryan.
Baltimore Ravens:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/25: Bobby Wagner visited the Ravens. - Jeremy Fowler, ESPN
Baltimore had severe issues covering the middle of the field last year. Wagner previously visited the Rams, but left without a contract.
3/15: Eddie Goldman will visit the Ravens. - Aaron Wilson, Baltimore Sun
Stoneman would be a better choice, but Goldman would help the Ravens improve against the run.
3/14: The Ravens are targeting Za'Darius Smith. - Tom Pelissero, NFL Network
Newly cut by the Packers, Smith could go back to Baltimore, where he would fill a huge need on the edge.
Buffalo Bills:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/12: The Bills, Steelers and Chargers are interested in trading for Fletcher Cox. - Jordan Schultz, The Game Day NFL
The Steelers are the odd team in that group because they must begin rebuilding. The Bills and Chargers, conversely, are going for the Super Bowl this year, so they should consider trading for the stud defensive tackle if the price is right.
3/10: The Bills are expected to be the top suitor for Evan Engram. - Dan Duggan, The Athletic
Engram has never lived up to his potential, but he's never been paired with a great quarterback either.
3/4: The Bills have given Cole Beasley permission to seek a trade. - Mike Garafolo, ESPN
Beasley turns 33 next month, so it's doubtful that he'll generate much interest despite his heroic stances. The Bills have so many weapons that they can afford to part ways with him.
Carolina Panthers:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/24: The Panthers have spoken to Cam Newton about returning to the team in 2022. - Joe Person, The A
The Panthers are a disaster.
3/20: The Panthers are targeting Duane Brown. - David Newton, ESPN
Brown would be a nice short-term solution at left tackle, which was a huge hole for Carolina last year. Whomever the Panthers sign or draft to play quarterback will greatly benefit from Brown's presence.
3/17: The Panthers are likely out on Deshaun Watson. - Joe Person, The Athletic
Carolina will either have to settle for Jimmy Garoppolo or use an early draft choice on a quarterback.
3/15: The Panthers and Saints are offering three first-round picks for Deshaun Watson. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
Rapoport cited that the Saints are in the most advantageous position, but the Panthers have the better first-round pick this year.
3/13: The Panthers and Saints have submitted trade offers for Deshaun Watson. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
Either team would instantly become the overwhelming favorite to win the terrible NFC South if they were to obtain Watson.
3/9: The Panthers have been in discussion with the Texans for a Deshaun Watson trade. - Jonathan Alexander, Charlotte Observer
Carolina has been the most likely destination for Watson because the Panthers are so desperate for a quarterback. The Panthers will get some backlash for the signing, but people will soon forget about it once the next controversy comes along.
3/9: The Patriots have talked to the Panthers about acquiring Robby Anderson. - Greg Bedard, The Boston Sports Journal
New England would certainly be buying low after Anderson's dreadful 2021 campaign. It would only have to give up a late-round pick for him.
3/9: The Panthers are open to trading everyone except Brian Burns. - Charlie Campbell, WalterFootball.com
This includes Christian McCaffrey. Charlie notes that if McCaffrey were to move, Carolina would have to pay some of his salary.
Chicago Bears:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/14: The 49ers, Bears, Colts, Raiders and Texans are interested in Marquez Valdes-Scantling. - Josina Anderson, ESPN
Really? Valdes-Scantling has nice speed was never even a consistent producer with Aaron Rodgers. Someone is going to overpay.
Cincinnati Bengals:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/17: La'el Collins is visiting the Bengals. - Mike Garafolo, NFL Network
Cincinnati has already signed two guards, but the team still needs an upgrade at tackle.
3/14: The Bengals, Jaguars and Jets have shown the most interest in Brandon Scherff. - Connor Hughes, The Athletic
All three have an obvious need for an offensive lineman, including the Bengals, who signed Alex Cappa. Scherff would be a huge upgrade if he stays healthy, but his durability is an issue.
3/9: The 49ers, Bengals, Chargers and Dolphins have legitimate interest in J.C. Jackson. - Jordan Schultz, The Game Day NFL
San Francisco and San Angeles have the biggest need for a cornerback, but Cincinnati and Miami would make sense as well.
Cleveland Browns:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/19: The Browns will try to re-sign Jadeveon Clowney and Jarvis Landry. - Mary Kay Cabot, Cleveland Plain-Dealer
Clowney enjoyed a solid year in Cleveland after struggling in Tennessee in 2020. Landry, on the other hand, accumulated a career-low receiving total, but missed five games and was playing with an injured quarterback.
3/19: There's mutual interest between the Browns and Will Fuller. - Jordan Schultz, The Game Day NFL
This would be a great match for obvious reasons. Fuller enjoyed some great performances with Deshaun Watson throwing the ball to him, and he would be a terrific option across from Amari Cooper.
3/18: Deshaun Watson has decided that he wants to play for the Browns. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
Watson has waived his no-trade clause for Cleveland. If Watson joins the Browns, he'll be paired with a stellar rushing attack and a No. 1 receiver in Amari Cooper, as well as a solid offensive line and strong defense. Watson's presence would instantly give the Browns a good chance of making the playoffs despite being in a loaded conference.
3/17: Deshaun Watson will not waive his no-trade clause to go to Cleveland. - Mike Garafolo, NFL Network
Watson smartly will go to the NFC. Meanwhile, the Browns have just declared their support for Baker Mayfield.
3/15: Baker Mayfield thanked Browns fans on Twitter. -
He discussed giving everything he had to the city of Cleveland. Mayfield may know something about a potential Deshaun Watson trade, or perhaps he's just bracing for the worst.
3/14: The Browns, Chiefs and Lions are in on Allen Robinson. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
All three have obvious needs at receiver, including the Browns, who cut Jarvis Landry today.
3/9: Derek Carr has been on the Browns' radar this offseason. - Mary Kay Cabot, Cleveland Plain-Dealer
...Why? I'm not even sure Carr is an upgrade over Baker Mayfield. I personally prefer Mayfield.
3/9: The Browns plan on retaining Austin Hooper despite franchising David Njoku. - Jeremy Fowler, ESPN
Harrison Bryant is still on the roster as well. Ryan Pace would be proud of this.
3/1: The Browns are willing to pay David Njoku a big contract to retain him. - Mary Kay Cabot, Cleveland.com
Cleveland apparently hasn't learned from its mistake from the Austin Hooper signing. Overpaying for non-elite tight ends never works.
Dallas Cowboys:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/20: The Cowboys are interested in Jason Pierre-Paul. - Jeremy Fowler, ESPN
Dallas needed a pass rusher and signed Dante Fowler, but he can't be considered the solution after two down years.
3/15: There's strong interest in Von Miller coming to Dallas. - Jane Slater, NFL Network
The Cowboys lost Randy Gregory to the Broncos, and Miller was expected to sign with Denver, so this signing makes a lot of sense.
3/11: The Cowboys are interested in Bobby Wagner. - Ed Werder, ESPN
Dallas needs a linebacker with Micah Parsons spending so much time on the edge. Wagner would be a great veteran leader for the defense.
Denver Broncos:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/14: Russell Wilson is recruiting Bobby Wagner to Denver. - Jeremy Fowler, ESPN
The Broncos' top two linebackers are free agents, even if they re-sign one of them.
3/13: An eye should be kept on Chandler Jones as a signing for the Broncos. - James Palmer, NFL Network
Denver has to replace Von Miller, and Jones would be an excellent signing. Miller may end up returning to the team as well.
3/9: The Broncos, Chargers and Packers are interested in Von Miller. - Aaron Wilson, Pro Football Network
Miller is also interested in rejoining the Broncos, even tweeting about wanting his old number back.
Detroit Lions:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/14: The Browns, Chiefs and Lions are in on Allen Robinson. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
All three have obvious needs at receiver, including the Browns, who cut Jarvis Landry today.
3/9: The Lions are prepared to make a splash at receiver in free agency. - Kyle Meinke, MLive
Drake London is the favorite to go No. 2 to Detroit right now in the 2022 NFL Draft, but that would obviously change if the team obtains a high-priced receiver in free agency.
Green Bay Packers:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/9: The Broncos, Chargers and Packers are interested in Von Miller. - Aaron Wilson, Pro Football Network
Miller is also interested in rejoining the Broncos, even tweeting about wanting his old number back.
Houston Texans:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/26: The Chiefs, Colts and Texans are likely trading partners for James Bradberry. - Pat Leonard, New York Daily News
Houston acquiring Bradberry wouldn't make any sense because the team has no playoff aspirations. Conversely, the Chiefs and Colts are in dire need of cornerback help, so they would greatly benefit from Bradberry's presence on the team.
3/14: The 49ers, Bears, Colts, Raiders and Texans are interested in Marquez Valdes-Scantling. - Josina Anderson, ESPN
Really? Valdes-Scantling has nice speed was never even a consistent producer with Aaron Rodgers. Someone is going to overpay.
3/11: Malcolm Butler is visiting the Texans. - Aaron Wilson, Houston Chronicle
Butler abandoned the Cardinals last year, so it would be difficult for any team to trust him. That said, the Texans aren't exactly in a position to be choosers rather than beggars.
Indianapolis Colts:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/26: The Chiefs, Colts and Texans are likely trading partners for James Bradberry. - Pat Leonard, New York Daily News
Houston acquiring Bradberry wouldn't make any sense because the team has no playoff aspirations. Conversely, the Chiefs and Colts are in dire need of cornerback help, so they would greatly benefit from Bradberry's presence on the team.
3/17: Jameis Winston has spoken to the Colts and Saints. - Josina Anderson, ESPN
Winston will likely return to New Orleans if the Saints miss out on Deshaun Watson. Otherwise, Indianapolis appears to be his likely destination.
3/15: The Colts and Seahawks would be attractive options for Baker Mayfield. - Aaron Wilson, The Athletic
Both teams have huge needs at quarterback and plenty of cap space. They would be more than willing to trade for Mayfield at the right price.
3/14: The Colts are interested in trading for Jimmy Garoppolo. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
It's unclear if Garoppolo will be an upgrade over Carson Wentz, but the Colts are desperate for a change at quarterback.
3/14: The 49ers, Bears, Colts, Raiders and Texans are interested in Marquez Valdes-Scantling. - Josina Anderson, ESPN
Really? Valdes-Scantling has nice speed was never even a consistent producer with Aaron Rodgers. Someone is going to overpay.
3/13: The name heard most about the Colts' quarterbacking situation is Marcus Mariota. - Dan Graziano, ESPN
Could Mariota return to the AFC South as a starting quarterback? He would be a fine option for the Colts, as Frank Reich would get the most out of Mariota's potential.
3/9: Jimmy Garoppolo told the 49ers that he would waive his no-trade clause for the Colts, Saints and Steelers. -
All three destinations would be fine spots for Garoppolo, though all three could take quarterbacks in this class to compete with him.
3/9: The Colts will allow Eric Fisher to become a free agent. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
Indianapolis will be looking for a long-term replacement for Anthony Castonzo. The 2022 NFL Draft class is deep at tackle, so that's good news for the Colts.
Jacksonville Jaguars:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/21: Rashaan Evans is visiting the Jaguars. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
Jacksonville has a glaring need at linebacker, especially in the wake of the Myles Jack release.
3/14: The Bengals, Jaguars and Jets have shown the most interest in Brandon Scherff. - Connor Hughes, The Athletic
All three have an obvious need for an offensive lineman, including the Bengals, who signed Alex Cappa. Scherff would be a huge upgrade if he stays healthy, but his durability is an issue.
3/13: The Jaguars and Eagles are dark-horse teams for JuJu Smith-Schuster. - Jordan Schultz, The Game Day NFL
Smith-Schuster had an amazing rookie year a few seasons ago, but has regressed since. It's unclear why Smith-Schuster continues to get worse, but the interested teams should not overpay.
Kansas City Chiefs:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/26: The Chiefs, Colts and Texans are likely trading partners for James Bradberry. - Pat Leonard, New York Daily News
Houston acquiring Bradberry wouldn't make any sense because the team has no playoff aspirations. Conversely, the Chiefs and Colts are in dire need of cornerback help, so they would greatly benefit from Bradberry's presence on the team.
3/26: The Chiefs have interest in trading for James Bradberry. - Aaron Wilson, Pro Football Network
Kansas City lost offensive firepower this offseason, so it could opt to bolster its secondary instead, first with Justin Reid and now with a shutdown corner like Bradberry.
3/23: The Chiefs have inquired about Laviska Shenault. - Jordan Schultz, The Game Day NFL
Shenault is coming off a very disappointing 2021 campaign, but he was also coached extremely poorly. He'd have nice potential with Patrick Mahomes.
3/23: Ronald Jones is visiting the Chiefs. - Aaron Wilson, The Athletic
With Darrel Williams and Jerick McKinnon currently free agents, the Chiefs are looking to add a running back.
3/14: The Browns, Chiefs and Lions are in on Allen Robinson. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
All three have obvious needs at receiver, including the Browns, who cut Jarvis Landry today.
3/13: Jarvis Landry ending up with the Chiefs has been a consistent rumor. - Jordan Schultz, The Game Day NFL
The Chiefs are desperate for receiving help after struggling without Sammy Watkins. Landry would be a nice fit.
3/13: The Chiefs are expected to cut or trade Frank Clark. - Jeremy Fowler, ESPN
Clark has a cap hit of more than $26 million, which is way too much for what he contributed last year. Clark would have to be designated as a post-June 1 cut.
Las Vegas Raiders:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/14: The Raiders are in the "thick of things" with Stephon Gilmore. - Vinny Bonsignore, Las Vegas Review-Journal
Gilmore will have his work cut out for him if he goes to Las Vegas because he'll be up against Patrick Mahomes, Russell Wilson and Justin Herbert in six games.
3/14: The 49ers, Bears, Colts, Raiders and Texans are interested in Marquez Valdes-Scantling. - Josina Anderson, ESPN
Really? Valdes-Scantling has nice speed was never even a consistent producer with Aaron Rodgers. Someone is going to overpay.
3/13: The Raiders and Patriots are interested in D.J. Chark. - Jeremy Fowler, ESPN
Chark would fill an obvious need for both teams, and he's one of the top players available at the position.
Los Angeles Chargers:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/13: The Chargers are expected to be heavily involved with J.C. Jackson. - Mike Giardi, NFL Network
Asante Samuel Jr. had a great rookie year, but with the Chargers potentially losing Chris Harris, they need a new starter across from Samuel. Jackson is arguably the top player on the market, and he would help defend all the great quarterbacks in the AFC.
3/13: Bobby Wagner wants to sign with the Chargers or Rams. - Jeremy Fowler, ESPN
The Rams just won the Super Bowl, but Wagner's best chance to win a ring may be going to San Angeles with the Chargers having so much cap space.
3/12: The Bills, Steelers and Chargers are interested in trading for Fletcher Cox. - Jordan Schultz, The Game Day NFL
The Steelers are the odd team in that group because they must begin rebuilding. The Bills and Chargers, conversely, are going for the Super Bowl this year, so they should consider trading for the stud defensive tackle if the price is right.
3/9: The 49ers, Bengals, Chargers and Dolphins have legitimate interest in J.C. Jackson. - Jordan Schultz, The Game Day NFL
San Francisco and San Angeles have the biggest need for a cornerback, but Cincinnati and Miami would make sense as well.
3/9: The Broncos, Chargers and Packers are interested in Von Miller. - Aaron Wilson, Pro Football Network
Miller is also interested in rejoining the Broncos, even tweeting about wanting his old number back.
Los Angeles Rams:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/21: Bobby Wagner is visiting the Rams. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
Linebacker has been a weak spot for a while, and the Rams would do well to steal a key player from an arch rival.
3/21: Bobby Wagner is visiting the Rams. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
Linebacker has been a weak spot for a while, and the Rams would do well to steal a key player from an arch rival.
3/16: The Rams are close to re-signing Von Miller. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
It's a bit of a surprise that Ambassador Von Miller is likely to return to the Rams, but his move to Denver was blocked by the Randy Gregory signing.
3/13: Bobby Wagner wants to sign with the Chargers or Rams. - Jeremy Fowler, ESPN
The Rams just won the Super Bowl, but Wagner's best chance to win a ring may be going to San Angeles with the Chargers having so much cap space.
Miami Dolphins:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/25: There's nothing to the Tom Brady to the Dolphins rumors. - Jeff Howe, The Athletic
People are speculating that Brady will be going to the Dolphins for some reason. Yet, Brady, according to Howe, has been recruiting free agents to Tampa Bay.
3/19: The Dolphins are pursuing Terron Armstead. - Barry Jackson, Miami Herald
Armstead would be a huge boon for Tua Tagovailoa, whose pass protection was abysmal in 2021.
3/17: The Dolphins and Patriots are interested in La'el Collins. - Jeremy Fowler, ESPN
Miami sorely needs offensive line help, while the Patriots lost a couple of blockers this offseason.
3/9: The 49ers, Bengals, Chargers and Dolphins have legitimate interest in J.C. Jackson. - Jordan Schultz, The Game Day NFL
San Francisco and San Angeles have the biggest need for a cornerback, but Cincinnati and Miami would make sense as well.
Minnesota Vikings:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/21: Za'Darius Smith visited the Vikings. - Tom Pelissero, NFL Network
Going to Minnesota would be a nice way to get revenge on the Packers, but Smith won't be wining any Super Bowls in Minnesota.
New England Patriots:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/21: Malcolm Butler visited the Patriots. - Ben Volin, Boston Globe
It would be a nice reunion for New England and Butler, who quit on the Cardinals last year. Butler would be a replacement for Stephon Gilmore and J.C. Jackson, both of whom have left New England recently.
3/20: Leonard Fournette visited with the Patriots. - Field Yates, ESPN
This is an extremely odd fit with Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson on the roster. I wouldn't like this signing for either party.
3/17: The Dolphins and Patriots are interested in La'el Collins. - Jeremy Fowler, ESPN
Miami sorely needs offensive line help, while the Patriots lost a couple of blockers this offseason.
3/13: The Raiders and Patriots are interested in D.J. Chark. - Jeremy Fowler, ESPN

New England would certainly be buying low after Anderson's dreadful 2021 campaign. It would only have to give up a late-round pick for him.
New Orleans Saints:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/17: Jameis Winston has spoken to the Colts and Saints. - Josina Anderson, ESPN
Winston will likely return to New Orleans if the Saints miss out on Deshaun Watson. Otherwise, Indianapolis appears to be his likely destination.
3/17: The Saints have been the favorite for Deshaun Watson "from the start." - Tom Pelissero, NFL Network
New Orleans will have to make some cuts, but Watson will have intriguing weapons at his disposal in Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas.
3/15: The Panthers and Saints are offering three first-round picks for Deshaun Watson. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
Rapoport cited that the Saints are in the most advantageous position, but the Panthers have the better first-round pick this year.
3/13: The Saints are ready to make "roster-shaking moves" to trade for Deshaun Watson. - Aaron Wilson, Pro Football Network
It seems like the Saints need to make "roster-shaking moves" to even get under the cap, so I can't even imagine what it would take to acquire Watson.
3/13: The Panthers and Saints have submitted trade offers for Deshaun Watson. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
Either team would instantly become the overwhelming favorite to win the terrible NFC South if they were to obtain Watson.
3/9: Jimmy Garoppolo told the 49ers that he would waive his no-trade clause for the Colts, Saints and Steelers. -
All three destinations would be fine spots for Garoppolo, though all three could take quarterbacks in this class to compete with him.
New York Giants:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/26: The Chiefs, Colts and Texans are likely trading partners for James Bradberry. - Pat Leonard, New York Daily News
Houston acquiring Bradberry wouldn't make any sense because the team has no playoff aspirations. Conversely, the Chiefs and Colts are in dire need of cornerback help, so they would greatly benefit from Bradberry's presence on the team.
3/1: James Bradberry's future with the Giants is in doubt. - Jordan Raanan, ESPN
The Giants may have to trade Bradberry because they're in a poor cap situation. Somehow, Dave Gettleman put the Giants in a terrible position despite having his quarterback and stud running back on rookie deals.
New York Jets:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/14: The Bengals, Jaguars and Jets have shown the most interest in Brandon Scherff. - Connor Hughes, The Athletic
All three have an obvious need for an offensive lineman, including the Bengals, who signed Alex Cappa. Scherff would be a huge upgrade if he stays healthy, but his durability is an issue.
Philadelphia Eagles:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/25: The Eagles are interested in Stephon Gilmore. - Glenn Erby, USA Today
Gilmore would be a huge addition to help the Eagles defeat the Cowboys. Philadelphia needs a replacement for Steven Nelson.
3/24: The Eagles are among the teams interested in DeVante Parker. - Barry Jackson, Miami Herald
Parker was rumored to be on the trading block before the Tyreek Hill trade, so he's as good as gone now. The Eagles would make sense, as they need a veteran to pair with DeVonta Smith.
3/13: The Jaguars and Eagles are dark-horse teams for JuJu Smith-Schuster. - Jordan Schultz, The Game Day NFL
Smith-Schuster had an amazing rookie year a few seasons ago, but has regressed since. It's unclear why Smith-Schuster continues to get worse, but the interested teams should not overpay.
Pittsburgh Steelers:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/12: The Bills, Steelers and Chargers are interested in trading for Fletcher Cox. - Jordan Schultz, The Game Day NFL
The Steelers are the odd team in that group because they must begin rebuilding. The Bills and Chargers, conversely, are going for the Super Bowl this year, so they should consider trading for the stud defensive tackle if the price is right.
3/10: The Steelers are discussing adding Jacoby Brissett. - Gerry Dulac, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Brissett would be a fine veteran option for the Steelers as they develop the quarterback they draft this April.
3/9: Jimmy Garoppolo told the 49ers that he would waive his no-trade clause for the Colts, Saints and Steelers. -
All three destinations would be fine spots for Garoppolo, though all three could take quarterbacks in this class to compete with him.
3/3: Jimmy Garoppolo is someone to keep an eye on during the Steelers' quarterback search. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
Pittsburgh is expected to draft a quarterback this April, but it'll want to sign a veteran in case it can't get the prospect it covets. Garoppolo makes sense as a short-term solution while that quarterback develops.
San Francisco 49ers:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/14: The 49ers, Bears, Colts, Raiders and Texans are interested in Marquez Valdes-Scantling. - Josina Anderson, ESPN
Really? Valdes-Scantling has nice speed was never even a consistent producer with Aaron Rodgers. Someone is going to overpay.
3/9: The 49ers, Bengals, Chargers and Dolphins have legitimate interest in J.C. Jackson. - Jordan Schultz, The Game Day NFL
San Francisco and San Angeles have the biggest need for a cornerback, but Cincinnati and Miami would make sense as well.
Seattle Seahawks:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/17: The Seahawks have made inquiry calls about Matt Ryan in addition to Baker Mayfield. - Josina Anderson, ESPN
It would be more ideal for the Browns to land Mayfield because he's much younger, but Ryan could quarterback a talented team to the playoffs.
3/17: The Seahawks are exploring a trade for Baker Mayfield. - Josina Anderson, ESPN
Mayfield is unhappy with the Browns' actions regarding Deshaun Watson, and he wants out. The Seahawks have no quarterback at the moment.
3/16: Trent Brown is visiting the Seahawks. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
It figures Seattle would finally find offensive line help after trading Russell Wilson.
3/15: The Colts and Seahawks would be attractive options for Baker Mayfield. - Aaron Wilson, The Athletic
Both teams have huge needs at quarterback and plenty of cap space. They would be more than willing to trade for Mayfield at the right price.
3/11: The expectation around the league is that the Seahawks will trade for Deshaun Watson. - Daniel Jeremiah, NFL Network
Watson was already linked to the Panthers, but Seattle is an obvious choice as well. The Seahawks have a quality roster and lots of cap space, and they also have a sudden big need at quarterback.
3/2: Pete Carroll said the Seahawks won't be trading Russell Wilson. -
This could, of course, be a ploy to gain leverage, but there was another report recently that said the Seahawks wouldn't trade Wilson for anything less than three first-round picks. Seattle finished eighth in DVOA last year, so there's some hope for 2022 if the team can keep Wilson on the roster.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/9: Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones are expected to leave via free agency. - Greg Auman, The Athletic
The Buccaneers have cap issues, so it makes sense that both would depart. There are plenty of talented running backs who will be available on Day 2 of the 2022 NFL Draft.
