"He's an impact add and isn't a free-agent overpay. Howie's not afraid to try stuff, and it fits where they are as a team."Garrett requested a trade earlier this offseason, citing his desire to compete for a Super Bowl. The Browns have maintained that they're not interested in moving the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year. It was reported earlier this week, however, that Garrett was <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///news/3228661" href="https://thescore.com/news/3228661">unwilling to sign an extension</a> with Cleveland.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>The defending champion Eagles just put forth a dominant performance in Super Bowl LIX - sacking Kansas City Chiefs quarterback <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/89514" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/89514">Patrick Mahomes</a> six times in the 40-22 victory. But they face some difficult decisions this offseason involving a group of players who were crucial in securing the Lombardi Trophy.Linebacker <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/98213" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/98213">Zack Baun</a>, pass-rusher <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/94114" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/94114">Josh Sweat</a>, and defensive tackle <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/161873" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/161873">Milton Williams</a> are pending free agents. Philadelphia would likely have to let some of those players walk to afford Garrett under the salary cap if the team acquired him, Russini noted.Garrett, 29, has two years remaining on his current deal and could be looking to sign an extension this offseason if he's traded to a new team. He's scheduled to be the fifth-highest-paid edge rusher entering the 2025 campaign.The Eagles pulled off perhaps the most impactful move of last offseason by signing Barkley to a three-year free-agent contract. The former New York Giant became the ninth player to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a season and was named Offensive Player of the Year in one of the all-time greatest campaigns by a running back.

He's a premier player in this league. … Really excited to team up with him and go through this process," Moore said earlier in February at his introductory press conference when asked if Carr would be the Week 1 starter.Carr signed a four-year, $150-million contract with the Saints in 2023 after being released by the Las Vegas Raiders. He's set to carry a $51.4-million cap hit next season, while New Orleans is currently $47 million over the salary cap.Carr has a no-trade clause in his contract and <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///news/3182366" href="https://thescore.com/news/3182366">said</a> he'd be unwilling to take a pay cut. Loomis acknowledged that the Saints' cap situation is tight, and the quarterback's contract is a contributing factor."There's no secret to that, and his is a big number, so we're going to hopefully be able to maneuver," Loomis said.Carr is 14-13 as a starter across two seasons with the Saints. He went 5-5 in 2024 while missing several games due to various injuries.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay says his priority is retaining <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/680" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/680">Matthew Stafford</a>, but only if it makes sense for the team amid contract negotiations and trade rumors involving the quarterback."When you talk about the elephant in the room, these are the things that are really challenging," McVay said on the "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S_G9mYFQ6E">Fitz &amp; Whit</a>" podcast. "Because there's no discrepancy on us wanting him to continue to lead the way and be our quarterback."The interesting and the challenging dilemma and dynamics within this are, hey, how do you continuously, as a head coach, look at the short term and the long term and be able to figure out what does that really look like?"<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Stafford reportedly wants to stay with the Rams but would likely need his contract amended - he's only set to earn $27 million next season with $4 million guaranteed. That would place him outside the top 10 highest-paid signal-callers.The Rams reportedly <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///news/3223789" href="https://thescore.com/news/3223789">permitted</a> Stafford's camp to speak with other teams in order to gauge his market value. The New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, Las Vegas Raiders, and Cleveland Browns have reportedly <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///news/3225620" href="https://thescore.com/news/3225620">shown interest</a> in acquiring Stafford.McVay was transparent about the complicated situation, admitting the team is doing its due diligence as it explores its options."At the end of the day, we had something in mind, he had something in mind, and nobody was right or wrong," McVay said. "And then, ultimately, you're saying there's a ton of interest because this guy is an incredible player."He added: "I do think for us to be able to make the most educated decision in terms of the cash budget that we operate on, the draft comp that you would get in return, you just need to be able to have all the parameters to at least explore it. Don't have to do anything in secret, want to make sure that we're all abreast of the situation, even though the first goal in mind is to have you come back here as the quarterback."These decisions aren't made in a vacuum, and that's kind of the challenging part of it, but love this guy, and he's been incredible for us."Stafford has spent four seasons in Los Angeles after the Rams acquired him from the Detroit Lions in 2021. He's led the team to the playoffs in three of his four years in L.A. and won Super Bowl LVI.

"He can play both, and I think that's what makes him special. We would see him as a receiver primarily."Berry added: "Again, what makes him a bit of a unicorn is the fact he can do both at a high level."Meanwhile, Titans head coach Brian Callahan dubbed it "very realistic" that the young star plays both ways, but he thinks Hunter will start at CB and then be worked in at WR, according to <a href="https://x.com/kpatra/status/1894409143122845968?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1894409143122845968%7Ctwgr%5Ef41f28012fa77d753d1a267c520e928ed6949030%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsports.yahoo.com%2Fnfl%2Farticle%2Fbrowns-view-travis-hunter-primarily-as-a-wr-while-titans-say-he-can-play-both-ways-154632120.html">NFL.com's Kevin Patra</a>.The 21-year-old is listed as a cornerback for this week's NFL Scouting Combine.Hunter played 713 snaps on defense and 709 on offense in his final season at Colorado.
