NFL Football 24-Hour Briefing
×Giants Moves
The Giants are releasing starting middle linebacker Bobby Okereke after three seasons, freeing up $9 million in salary cap space. This move comes as the team looks to rebuild and address other needs.
Free Agency Updates
Breece Hall, George Pickens, and Kyle Pitts Sr. were franchise-tagged, while Daniel Jones received the transition tag. This sets the stage for a busy free agency period with significant dominoes expected to fall. Meanwhile, Trey Hendrickson won't receive a franchise tag, making him a free agent. The Bengals' decision leaves the 2024 All-Pro edge rusher available starting March 9th.
Team Developments
The Vikings are open to trading outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard to alleviate salary cap pressure. Matthew Stafford and the Rams have maintained "great dialogue" regarding his contract situation. The Colts placed the rarely used transition tag on quarterback Daniel Jones, preserving their right to match offers.
Other Notes
The Cardinals intend to release quarterback Kyler Murray on the first day of the league year next Wednesday, barring a trade. Kyler Murray's exit from Cards significantly impacts both the Cardinals and the Vikings, who need a quarterback. The Falcons secured their fifth European game, playing in Madrid as part of the NFL's international slate. The Ohio State Buckeyes could provide valuable additions for the Commanders in the draft, with four projected top-10 selections potentially fitting Washington's needs.
