NFL Moves Trade Deadline Back One Week

Mar 27, 2024 8:03 AM

NFL owners agreed Tuesday to move the trade deadline back one week to the Tuesday after Week 9.

In addition, they also agreed to allow teams to use a practice squad player as their emergency No. 3 quarterback on game days, after requiring that player to be an existing member of the 53-man roster last season.

Vikings Want To Contend Amid Quarterback Change

Mar 26, 2024 8:24 AM

The Minnesota Vikings are undergoing a change at quarterback this offseason, but they still hope to be in playoff contention in 2024.

Vikings owner/president Mark Wilf made clear that his family still thinks the team should build for the future while winning in the present. He acknowledged that injuries played a role in last season's record but said that his family is "not going to rest on that."

"We want to win every single game and every step along the way," Wilf said. "So how that falls, what will happen on the field, we'll see. It's important our fans to know that that's always our commitment and that's how we approach it. At the same time, we believe the way we're building this is going to get to sustained success. We're, like our fans, not pleased with our record last year. We want to be competing for playoffs, championships, division titles and Super Bowl championships, all of the above."

Wilf added that the Vikings made Kirk Cousins a "serious offer" to remain with the team. Minnesota replaced Cousins with free agent Sam Darnold and are hoping to draft their quarterback of the future next month.

Asked what made him believe the Vikings could win and compete for a playoff spot amid that transition, Wilf said: "I think it can happen. I believe it can happen. I believe it has happened in other organizations as well, and that's what we think can happen."

Mar 25, 2024 1:18 AM

First-year New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo said Sunday that the team isn't locked into making a selection at No. 3 in the NFL draft.

"Obviously, quarterback is definitely a priority. With that being said, we're still open to any type of deals that come our way," Mayo said on the first day of the NFL annual meeting, when asked where the team stands in its evaluation of quarterbacks.

"We're very far [into] the process, but we still have a long way to go. Definitely feel like we have time to really nail down our prospects in who we are going to go after."

Cardinals 'Going To Be Listening' To Offers For No. 4 Pick

Mar 21, 2024 8:46 AM

The Arizona Cardinals are willing to listen to any and all offers this offseason, including for the No. 4 pick.

"There will be a big neon sign that says 'open' and I don't like it blinking, it messes with my eyes, but we're always going to be listening," general manager Monti Ossenfort joked.

"I think we'll always have the conversation, we may not get to a point where a deal makes sense, whether it's at [No.] 4 or anywhere we're picking, but we're always going to have the conversation and if it makes sense, if it's attractive to building our team, then it's something that we'll certainly consider no matter where we're at in the draft."

Deadline To Pay Haason Reddick's Roster Bonus Pushed Back

Mar 19, 2024 8:17 AM

Haason Reddick had a $1 million roster bonus due on March 15, but the Philadelphia Eagles haven't paid it yet.

The deadline to pay the bonus was pushed back to April 1 to give the Eagles a little more time to find a trade partner, according to a report.

The deadline could only be moved with Reddick's approval.

A number of teams have shown interest in Reddick, but it remains to be seen whether they're willing to do so on his current contract, where his cap hit would be more than $15 million.
