Outside Quarterbacks, Star Chance Joey Bosa, Kahlil Mack and Josh Sweat, Defensive will tackle Milton Williams and the broad recipient Josh Godwin be the highly sought after position players that teams will offer this week.

For more teams, this coming week will be under strong control of the media and fans. New York Giants, New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals are among the teams that want the most eyeballs on them when they seem to navigate a companion.
Giants, after ending with their worst record in modern times, is in search of a new quarterback after moving on from Daniel Jones in the middle of last season. Despite having the third overall election in the upcoming draft, Giants have been linked to potential veterans such as Rodgers and Wilson. Espns Jordan Ranaan even reports that it is “probably” that Giants end up with Rodgers. Giants have only $ 47.6 million in Cap space to work with.
The patriots have the potential to be the league’s largest consumers this season, with the most salary ceiling on all teams of almost $ 130 million. The Patriots are looking to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2021 and only the second time since Tom Brady’s departure and seems to put the pieces around the second -year quarterback Drake Maye and the new head coach Mike Vabel.

The Bengals will be looking to bounce back from back-to-back seasons with missing end games when they seem to keep their offensive core intact around Joe Burrow. The team placed the franchise mark on the wide receiver Tee Higgins for the second year in a row as it seems to lock its offensive weapons in higgins and yes’marr Chase with long -term offers. The Bengals have $ 62 million in Cap space to work with.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings have one of the biggest decisions in the league and one that is likely to affect other teams’ opportunities and strategies. After Darnold led Minnesota to the playoffs this last season, but played poorly in their playoff losses and their divisional title decisive loss the week before, the Vikings have to decide whether to sign veteran quarterback.

The Vikings drafted the former Michigan National Champion JJ McCarthy in last year’s draft, and many assumed McCarthy would be the team’s quarterback of the future. After a surprisingly good season from Darnold it may not be that simple and if Minnesota brings back the veteran, it could mean McCarthy will be available for a trade.
