Bill Belichick is expected to decide what type of offer to extend to Tom Brady this offseason.

Brady is currently approaching his free agency with the expectation of leaving the Patriots.

But at least one source wonders if Robert Kraft will intervene and force Belichick to do whatever it takes to keep Brady as some believe the New England owner did in 2017 when the Patriots traded Jimmy Garoppolo to the San Francisco 49ers for a second round pick.

Looking to add life to their offense, the Chicago Bears are expected to pursue Austin Hooper in free agency.

The Atlanta Falcons have admitted they will let Hooper test free agency.

The tight end caught 75 passes for 787 yards and six touchdowns last year. He's made two Pro Bowls.

"This offense, a lot of it goes through the tight end," Matt Nagy said. "We’re exploring every avenue."

Jerry Jones hasn't ruled out bringing Dez Bryant back to the Dallas Cowboys.

The Cowboys released the wide receiver following the 2017 season.

"I've been thinking about it a lot in the shower," Jones said. "I have been. I'm not dismissing it. I don't want to sound like it should be dismissed by saying it. I'm thinking about it."

Bryant has been working out very close to the team's facility in Frisco, Texas. He suffered a torn Achilles tendon in his first practice with the New Orleans Saints in 2018. He was not on a roster last season.

Tom Brady currently believes he will enter free agency with the intention of playing somewhere other than the New England Patriots.

There is a belief, however, that the Patriots will have an opportunity to convince Brady to re-sign with the franchise. At this point, Brady is evaluating his options with the intention of leaving.

Brady and Bill Belichick have yet to schedule a meeting.

Brady cannot begin negotiating with other teams until the NFL's legal tampering period opens March 16. Brady turns 43 in August and threw for 4,057 yards with 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 2019.

The Indianapolis Colts have interest in signing Philip Rivers in free agency, according to a report.

Many around the NFL Scouting Combine believe the long-time Los Angeles Chargers quarterback will land with the Colts.

Chris Ballard said in January that "the jury's still out" on Jacoby Brissett as the Colts' best option at quarterback.

The New York Giants have been mentioned by sources at the NFL Scouting Combine as a team with potential interest in Tom Brady.

Brady has also been linked to the Tennessee Titans and Oakland Raiders in rumors.

The Giants may come as a surprise to some after they used the sixth overall pick on Daniel Jones last spring.

New York has plenty of cap space to make Brady a strong offer.

The New York Giants have cut Alec Ogletree and Kareem Martin.

Ogletree, one of the league's highest-paid inside linebackers over the past two years at $10 million per season, became a liability in pass coverage and saw his playing time diminish.

Ogletree was one of Dave Gettleman's first major acquisitions for the Giants.

Ogletree played the first five years of his career with the Rams. He topped 100 tackles in three of his first four seasons. The second-team All Pro in 2016 has career totals of 674 tackles, 7.5 sacks, 12 forced fumbles and 12 interceptions. He also has four defensive touchdowns.

The Giants signed Martin to a three-year, $21 million contract one day after acquiring Ogletree in March 2018.

The Indianapolis Colts are not negotiating a contract extension for Marlon Mack.

Jim Irsay said the team hasn't engaged in talks with Mack, who has one year left on his contract.

"Marlon Mack, we love him. ... We want him back, and he wants to be back, really," the owner said. "There were some misreports that we were pursuing an extension there. That's not the case."

Those "misreports," however, came directly after Chris Ballard listed Mack among the "guys we want to extend."

Stephen Jones remains confident the Dallas Cowboys can reach a long-term contract agreement with Dak Prescott before the organization will need to use the franchise tag.

There are no talks scheduled, but Jones plans to meet with agent Todd France at some point this week during the NFL scouting combine.

Jones added that there is no scenario in which the Cowboys would move on from Prescott in 2020.

"I mean, Dak's our quarterback. He's our quarterback for the future and we have nothing but the greatest respect for him," Jones said. "He's a competitor. He's won a lot of football games for us. Obviously, he, like us, we all want to take that next step and get into a championship game and get to the big game and ultimately win a championship. So there's no thoughts like that."

The Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott have not held talks on a new contract since before the 2019 season.

Stephen Jones confirmed that the two sides have not yet met, but could do so at the combine.

There has not yet been a decision made on whether the Cowboys will use the franchise tag on Prescott.
