Aaron Rodgers is being linked to the Giants.
Sources: Giants discussing veteran QBs, including Aaron Rodgers – Jordan Raanan, ESPN
Will the Cowboys have to face Aaron Rodgers twice in 2025?
After striking out in talks with Matthew Stafford, the New York Giants are including Aaron Rodgers in their search for a veteran quarterback, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Friday.
Rodgers is set to be a free agent after the New York Jets announced earlier this month that they would be moving on from the quarterback after two seasons.
Sam Darnold is also expected to be among the Giants’ options, a source said, after his breakout season last year with the Minnesota Vikings. The Giants had interest in Darnold last season as a free agent before he landed in Minnesota; New York signed Drew Lock to be its backup on a one-year deal worth $5 million guaranteed.
Super Bowl winner Russell Wilson also considered the Giants among his options at the start of this offseason.
The Giants are currently on track to have exclusive rights free agent Tommy DeVito as the only quarterback on the roster. The team holds the No. 3 pick in the NFL draft, but general manager Joe Schoen said this week at the NFL scouting combine that it would “look under every rock” to add a franchise quarterback.
Bowling Green HC Scot Loeffler hired as Philadelphia Eagles QB coach – Sean Leahy, Yahoo! Sports
Philadelphia continues filling the vacancies on their staff.
The Philadelphia Eagles have hired Bowling Green head coach Scot Loeffler to take over as the team’s new quarterbacks coach.
Loeffler will replace Doug Nussmeier, who left to join Kellen Moore’s staff as offensive coordinator with the New Orleans Saints.
“BGSU is a special university and community that truly embraces relationships, people and the student experience,” said vice president for athletics strategy Derek van der Merwe in a statement. “In these last six seasons, Scot built a very successful program in a challenging climate in collegiate sports. More importantly, he built this program while ensuring his team and coaches were truly committed to the values and mission that make this university great. Like other great coaches in the history of BGSU football, he has demonstrated that when you build around the strengths of this University and its mission, anything is possible. I am looking forward to this process of finding the next great leader for our program who embraces what it means to be a Falcon.”
In six seasons at Bowling Green, Loeffler guided the Falcons to a 27-41 record and three bowl game appearances. After a few tough years to start, the program began turning around in 2022 with a 5-3 record in the Mid-American Conference.
Bowling Green posted a 7-6 overall record in each of the past two seasons, the first time the school has recorded back-to-back winning seasons since 2014-2015.
This is Loeffler’s second time coaching in the NFL after a one-season stint as quarterbacks coach with the Detroit Lions in 2008. He would leave to join Urban Meyer at Florida and worked with Tim Tebow.
Loeffler got his start in 1996 with Michigan under Lloyd Carr after playing quarterback for the Wolverines.
Commanders get the green light to acquire explosive weapon for Jayden Daniels – Dean Jones, RiggosRag.com
Despite an unreal season, Washington needs more offensive firepower.
Nothing is off the table for the Washington Commanders this offseason. They have an abundance of resources to strengthen and are an attractive destination again after a miraculous run to the NFC Championship game. Adam Peters must seize the initiative and be aggressive in pursuit of getting over the hump.
Free agency and the draft will play a big part. Peters will examine potential trades that can help the Commanders win now while also offering a more promising outlook for the future.
Several veteran stars have either handed in trade requests or been told to explore opportunities elsewhere. Peters is no stranger to this after two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jonathan Allen declared his desire for a fresh challenge heading into the final year of his deal.
Deebo Samuel update adds intrigue to Commanders’ offseason plans
One player being strongly linked with a move to Washington is Deebo Samuel Sr. San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch gave the Commanders (or anyone else) the green light to explore the possibility in greater detail.
Lynch officially confirmed that he plans to honor Samuel’s trade request during his media availability at the NFL Scouting Combine. While he’s reluctant and holds the player in high regard, there’s an acknowledgment that it’s the best possible solution for all parties.
“We’re on good terms with Deebo. He’s asked for a fresh start and I think we’re going to honor that. I don’t like seeing great players (leave), and he is a great player. I think often one of my favorite draft picks of my time. He makes plays and he makes game-changing plays. Everything’s good, but at some point, time happens. He asked for that. It probably makes sense, so we’re at least allowing him to look. We’re having conversations, and we’ll see where that goes.”
