More on the Raiders being set to release Geno Smith after just one season in Las Vegas: www.nytimes.com/athletic/708...
If the Raiders continue to lean toward drafting Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 pick in April’s draft, their preference is to not start him immediately.
Look for Las Vegas to bring a veteran QB in free agency.
NEWS: The Raiders are set to release veteran QB Geno Smith, sources say.
Las Vegas acquired Smith in an offseason trade with Seattle last year. Now, the 35-year-old finds himself on the open market after just one year as a Raider.
While teams have been internally discussing potential trade packages for A.J. Brown, no team has made an official offer to the Eagles, per multiple sources.
Maxx Crosby is drawing serious interest around the league. The Dallas Cowboys are closely monitoring the situation and remain very interested, while the Baltimore Ravens are also a team to watch. GMs believe the Las Vegas Raiders are willing to work on a deal.
The Rams discussed trading for Brown but have moved on.
The Philadelphia Eagles are holding firm on their steep asking price for A.J. Brown. While the New England Patriots have poked around on it, the Los Angeles Chargers are another team keeping tabs on the situation, per sources.
The Rams and S Kam Curl have agreed to a three-year, $36 million deal that has a max value of $39 million, keeping the pending free agent off the market, per sources.
Mike Garafolo was on it.
The Bills are trading a 2026 second-round pick to the Bears in exchange for DJ Moore and a 2026 fifth-round pick, per source.
BREAKING: The Chicago Bears are finalizing a trade to send WR D.J. Moore to the Bills, sources tell The Athletic.

More from @chadgraff.bsky.social on the Patriots releasing Stefon Diggs after one season in New England: www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...
The Patriots are releasing veteran receiver Stefon Diggs, per sources.
Diggs, who was coming off a torn ACL, served as Drake Maye’s No. 1 target and led New England in catches and receiving yards in 2025.
More on the Chiefs trading All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie to the Rams, with @nateatkins.bsky.social and @jessenewell.bsky.social:
The Rams still own the No. 13 pick, acquired from the Falcons during a draft-day swap last year.
They trade their own first in the 2026 draft for a proven outside option, addressing one of their biggest offseason needs by adding Trent McDuffie.
The Chiefs are acquiring pick No. 29, a fifth, sixth, and 2027 third-round pick for McDuffie, per source.

Adam Schefter was on it.
As the QB market plays out, trade targets remain in play for several teams. I’m told teams have reached out to the Broncos about backup Jarrett Stidham, whose lone start of the season came in the AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.
A.J. Brown’s situation is similar to Maxx Crosby’s.
League sources say the Eagles have set a high price for the three-time Pro Bowler, and Howie Roseman has remained firm, even dating back to last season: To get Brown, it will take a big package. Teams remain interested.
Several teams are interested, but decision makers are getting mixed signals from the Raiders in regards to their genuine interest in dealing their star.
(2/2)
So where do things stand right now with Maxx Crosby?
Based on several conversations with league sources, the Raiders have not moved off from their asking price of two first-round picks and a player.

“Crosby hasn’t made a stink publicly, partly because of his deep affection for the Raiders’ fan base, but it’s clear that he has exhausted all efforts in Vegas. He’s had a new boss every 12 seconds, with one winning season out of seven to show for it.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/708...
2026 tag season wrap-up:
Franchise tagged:
🏷️ Cowboys WR George Pickens
🏷️ Falcons TE Kyle Pitts
🏷️ Jets RB Breece Hall
Transition tagged:
🏷️ Colts QB Daniel Jones
Kyler Murray's time in Arizona will soon be coming to an end.
More on the Colts placing the transition tag on QB Daniel Jones, and how it affects WR Alec Pierce:
As Alec Pierce’s reps and the Colts continue to negotiate at this hour, one other note that helps Indy: Alec’s brother Caden, a standout basketball player for Princeton, recently transferred… to Purdue.
The Colts’ goal has been to keep both of their top free agents — Daniel Jones and Alec Pierce — off the market.
With the transition tag placed on Jones, Indy turns its attention to Pierce, hoping to get a deal done before he becomes one of the top free agents available next week.
Indianapolis has been consistent in its desire to have Daniel Jones lead its QB room in 2026. As the two sides continue to negotiate a longer contract, the tag (worth $37.8 million) gives the Colts the right to match any offer sheet Jones signs with another team.

Jones, who signed a one-year deal with Indy last offseason, was pacing for a career year before tearing his Achilles in Week 14.
