INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Matthew Stafford chose to stay in Los Angeles. Deebo Samuel was sent to Washington.
Many NFL players will be on the move when free agency begins next week and the foundation for a lot of transactions was built at the scouting combine last week.
While 329 college prospects gathered in Indianapolis to showcase their skills, talk to teams and undergo medical evaluations, front office executives had plenty of conversations about players on their rosters and others they plan to pursue either through free agency or trade.
There was a ton of buzz about several star players, including Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson and Myles Garrett.
Rodgers will become a free agent after the New York Jets release him. Jets general manager Darren Mougey and coach Aaron Glenn addressed the decision and insisted the franchise’s goal was to win now despite moving on from a four-time NFL MVP who had a disappointing two-year stint in New York.
