3 Teams Who Make Sense for a Walker Little Trade (Jaguars on SI)
Like the Lions and Browns, the Jaguars have some experience dealing with the Las Vegas Raiders’ front office. They made early contact with them about Jakobi Meyers during training camp and then pulled the trigger at the trade deadline to give both sides what they wanted. Unlike the Lions and Browns, the Raiders have a quality left tackle in Kolton Miller, but they need more.
Dream Offseason Trade Scenario for Every NFL Team (Bleacher Report)
The Green Bay Packers could look to trade Wyatt if they don’t intend to offer him an extension before his contract expires in 2027. With that being a possibility, former Packers linebacker coach and defensive run-game coordinator Anthony Campanile may push for a reunion via trade.

Jacksonville gave Hunter opportunities on both sides of the ball straight away, with some definite bias toward playing wide receiver, but the early results tilted towards a full-time position on defense. Hunter played 323 offensive snaps in his rookie season, earning a 62.2 PFF offensive grade. On defense, he logged 162 snaps and posted a 73.2 PFF defensive grade.

The news of Evans’ intent to continue playing confirms what his teammate, quarterback Baker Mayfield , said in late January: Evans still has ” more in the tank. ” Whether the Buccaneers have enough money in the bank to convince Evans to finish his career in the only place he’s ever known in his NFL career, however, remains to be seen.
