Free Agency Preview
Kyler Murray's impending exit from Arizona is creating quarterback market ripples, particularly for the Vikings who need help at the position. Our NFL Nation reporters played GM and made contract offers for free agent quarterback Malik Willis, analyzing which teams can make the best case to land him. The Cardinals informed Murray they intend to release him on the first day of the league year next Wednesday barring a trade.
Contract Moves & Tags
The Bengals did not use the franchise tag on defensive end Trey Hendrickson, making the 2024 All-Pro edge rusher available to sign with another team when free agency opens. Meanwhile, Breece Hall, George Pickens and Kyle Pitts Sr. were franchise-tagged, while the Colts placed the rarely used transition tag on QB Daniel Jones, preserving their right to match any offer sheet.
Roster Changes
The Giants are releasing starting middle linebacker Bobby Okereke, a move that frees up $9 million in salary cap space. Pro Bowl center Drew Dalman has informed the Bears that he's retiring at age 27 after four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons and one with Chicago. The Vikings are open to trading outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard as the team seeks relief from being more than $43 million over the salary cap.
Coaching Updates
Sean McVay said the Rams have had "great dialogue" with Matthew Stafford entering the final season of the QB's contract. The Cardinals' decision to cut Murray next week creates significant uncertainty at the position, with multiple teams likely to pursue the former No. 1 overall pick in free agency.
