Jets Interested In Trading Down From No. 3

Feb 28, 2019 8:34 AM

The New York Jets have interest in trading down from the No. 3 overall pick.

"Right now, we feel good at No. 3, but I'd definitely say if there's an opportunity to trade down, we would absolutely look at it," said Mike Maccagnan.

The Jets traded up from No. 6 to No. 3 last year to select Sam Darnold. New York sent three second round picks to the Indianapolis Colts in the deal. The Jets hope to find a similar trade.

"Yeah, I think I would be open to any team that would," he said, when asked specifically about the Giants. "As long as the trade made sense to us, there's nothing that would stop us from doing that."

Asked specifically if he expects Manning to be on the team in 2019, Shurmur said, "I fully expect him [back].

"[General manager] Dave [Gettleman] will tell you I'm a body collector. I want to keep all the players we have and add new ones. I really feel that way about Eli," he said.

Manning's cap hit for next season is $23.2 million.

Cardinals Don't Sound Entirely Committed To Josh Rosen

Feb 27, 2019 11:34 AM

The Arizona Cardinals used a first round pick on Josh Rosen last offseason, but they may not be entirely committed to him long-term.

“Is Josh Rosen our quarterback?” GM Steve Keim told reporters. “Yeah, he is right now. For sure.”

Kliff Kingsbury is on record of saying he would use Kyler Murray with the first overall pick. But since being hired by the Cardinals, Kingsbury has tried to walk back the comments.

The Cardinals own the first overall pick.

Case Keenum 'Shocked, Disappointed' By Broncos Trading For Joe Flacco

Feb 21, 2019 4:15 PM

The Denver Broncos' decision to trade for Joe Flacco came as a surprise to Case Keenum.

Keenum signed a two-year, $36 million deal with the Broncos last offseason.

"[Broncos general manager John] Elway called me that morning and we had a great conversation, which he didn't have to do, and I appreciated that," said Keenum, who, along with his wife, Kimberly, was a guest on Jason Romano's Sports Spectrum podcast.

"I was definitely shocked. It was a surprise for us; you know, I think probably for the first day or so that's kind of what it was. You know, for us, we're definitely disappointed. It's not something we wanted to happen. I know that everybody's doing their job and John feels like that was a chance for him to help the Broncos out.''
