Davante Adams won't be a free agent until next year, but Derek Carr is already preparing to recruit the wide receiver to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Adams and Carr were teammates at Fresno State.

Jimmy Smith has only played for one franchise since he was drafted in the first round in 2011 and the cornerback has no plans to change that.

"I absolutely will not play for another team," Smith said. "If the Ravens didn't re-sign me last year and I felt like I could still play, I probably would have still retired."

Smith, 32, forwent a chance at free agency to re-sign with the Ravens way back in December.

"To me, this is family," he said. "I know these guys. I've known them for so long. They know me. It's hard to go to a new place, and you've got to introduce yourself, you've got to impress people. I don't want to do all that. I'm good. I'm comfortable being here. Financially, I could not play another down right now and live my life great. It's not necessarily a money thing. Obviously, money weighs into this, but it's not the deciding factor. If I retire, if the Ravens are done with me, then I'm done playing ball."

Tom Brady sarcastically asked Aaron Rodgers to comment on his “low-profile” and “peaceful” offseason including no controversies.

“It’s been one of those quiet offseasons you dream about,” Rodgers said with no hint of irony, “where you can kind of just go through your process on your own, quietly, and that’s all you can ask for as an older player in the league and someone who’s been around for a long time and just enjoys that time to yourself, just relax, to not be bothered, to not have any obligations or anything going on. You know, I think that’s what this offseason has been about. It’s been about really enjoying my time and spending it where I want to spend it not feeling like I have to go anywhere. but still be an NFL player at the same time. It’s been great.”

Rodgers has sought a trade from the Green Bay Packers this offseason.

Stephon Gilmore wants a new deal from the New England Patriots and Jalen Ramsey is trying to take advantage of that.

Ramsey tweeted to Gilmore and reminded the cornerback that Major League Baseball star Mookie Betts left Boston for Los Angeles and won a championship.

Gilmore, who turns 31 in September, is entering the final year of his contract -- which pays him just $7 million in base salary for this season.

The Houston Texans haven't said much about Deshaun Watson lately, but Nick Caserio opened up a bit on Monday.

"We're taking it one day at a time and really control the things we can control," Caserio said in an appearance on Sports Radio 610, when asked whether the organization has addressed the Watson situation with the other players on the team. "The players have been focused on their attitude and their approach in the building, and they've handled everything very well."

The first-year general manager then made a telling remark.

"I don't have any additional comments about anything," Caserio said. "I think we're respectful of what's happening, respectful of the process and everybody that's involved. The most important thing is for all of us, the coaches and players and myself included, is to focus on the things we can control. As we get more information, as we get closer to training camp, we'll try to make the best decision for the Houston Texans, whatever that entails."

Mark Murphy invoiced the late Ted Thompson as describing Aaron Rodgers as “a complicated fella.”

Speaking at an event at Lambeau Field, Murphy made a halting remark indicating that Thompson, who drafted Rodgers, considered Rodgers to be “complicated.”

“I’m often reminded though of Ted Thompson, as most of you know, just a great general manager, passed away this past year — excuse me, earlier this year, often talked about Aaron, that he’s a comp — and it wasn’t just Aaron, a lot of different players. He would say ‘He’s a complicated fella.’ So, I’ll just say that,” Murphy said, via NBC 26 in Green Bay.

Thompson died in January and therefore isn't here to explain what he meant.

In that same answer without a sense of self-awareness, Murphy said, “the less both sides say publicly, the better.”

Russell Wilson spoke with reporters on Thursday for the first time since his public criticisms of the franchise led to speculation he could be traded from the Seattle Seahawks. 

"Obviously I love Seattle, I love playing here," Wilson said. "I've had a great career here so far. I've always wanted to play here for my full career obviously. I think there was some unfortunate frustrations after the season. Obviously you want to win it all and do it all and do everything you can. I think everybody on our team does. You want to win it, and I think unfortunately I think it got a little blown out of proportion a little bit."

Wilson voiced his frustrations about his pass protection and perceived lack of say in personnel moves relative to other top quarterbacks.

Wilson's agent, Mark Rodgers, told ESPN that he would only accept a trade to one of four teams. Wilson has a no-trade clause. 

"I did not request a trade," Wilson said. "I've always wanted to play here, and the reality is, I think calls were getting thrown around, this and that, and I think that's just a reality. But I think at the end of the day, the real reality is that I'm here and I'm here to win and I'm here to win it all."

Deshaun Watson wants to join the Denver Broncos, former teammate Kareem Jackson said on a podcast.

Watson requested a trade from the Houston Texans before multiple lawsuits alleging sexual assault and inappropriate behavior were filed against the quarterback.

"I've got a great relationship with Deshaun," Jackson, who plays for the Broncos, told former NFL player Aqib Talib on his "Catchin' Fades" podcast. "I've been talking to him the last couple of weeks, man, and like, all he's been telling me is like, 'Jack, just tell 'em, like, that's where I want to be.' ... He's like, 'I want to be in Denver.'"

Watson is scheduled to make $10.5 million in 2021 on the fifth-year option of his rookie contract. Because of the contract extension he signed in September 2020, Watson's salary jumps to $35 million in 2022.

The Atlanta Falcons agreed to trade star wide receiver Julio Jones to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

In exchange for Jones, the Titans will send a 2022 second-round draft pick and a 2023 fourth-round selection to the Falcons. Along with Jones, the Falcons will send a 2023 sixth-round pick to the Titans.

The deal is pending a physical, the Titans said.

The Seattle Seahawks have emerged as the new betting favorite to land Julio Jones in a trade.

PointsBet has Seattle as a +225 proposition to make the deal, followed by the Titans at +250, Eagles at +275, and the Ravens and 49ers at +300.

The Patriots, the prior favorites at +150, have plunged to +450.
