Broncos | Denver considering big-time move in draft? Thu Apr 18, 01:50 PM
University of Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy is reportedly a player who meets Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton's general requirements for a starting quarterback - outstanding intelligence and the ability to get rid of the ball quickly. According to Sportskeeda's Tony Pauline, there is talk that Payton is ready to give up 'a king's ransom' to acquire McCarthy, Louisiana State University's Jayden Daniels or University of North Carolina QB Drake Maye, with McCarthy being the most realistic option. Furthermore, there is a possibility Payton will be willing to include CB Patrick Surtain II to move up in the draft. Pauline also notes that Denver would consider trading down and taking University of Oregon QB Bo Nix if it cannot move up.

Giants | Spencer Rattler to meet with NYG Wed Apr 17, 10:43 AM
South Carolina QB Spencer Rattler is expected to meet with the New York Giants this week.
| Footballguys view: Rattler is an interesting mid-round pick, and some think he could sneak his way into the second round. The Giants are looking for a quarterback, but they may not select one in the first round. If they wait, Rattler could be an option for them. He's going to take time to be ready (if he ever develops), but Rattler can command a huddle and make all the throws. He does get careless with the football, and none of his physical traits are overwhelming. |
Giants | Bo Nix to visit Giants Wed Apr 17, 10:41 AM
Oregon QB Bo Nix will meet with the New York Giants this week.
| Footballguys view: If the Giants move back from no.6 overall, then Nix becomes an option for them in the first round. Some think Nix even falls to the second round. Nix threw a bunch of micro-passes in college (at or behind the line of scrimmage), but he is aggressive when under pressure (8.9 YPA under duress). He's not a fit for every team, but Nix is super smart and accurate. That's a good start for a guy with a high floor but perhaps a low ceiling. |
Lions | Contract talks start with Jared Goff Tue Apr 16, 06:32 PM
Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff said he has started contract extension talks with the Lions but would not say how advanced the talks are at this time.
| Footballguys view: The Lions invested a third-round pick last year in quarterback Hendon Hooker. It's not clear if they view Hooker as a replacement for Goff or if the youngster is more of a fallback plan should they fail to get a new deal done with the veteran. However it plays out, as Profootblltalk.com suggests, the Lions have found a quarterback who has taken them to the brink of the Super Bowl. He's still only 29. They surely want to keep him. Fantasy managers, who can land Goff at high-end QB2 prices, will have a viable play with a strong supporting cast in a high-powered offense -- one capable of delivering QB1 numbers on any given Sunday. |

49ers | Brock Purdy open to running more Tue Apr 16, 05:59 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy said he would be open for the team to add more designed runs for him as well as some zone read plays in the playbook.
| Footballguys view: Purdy set a franchise record with 4,280 passing yards last season. He rushed for only 144 yards with two touchdowns on 39 carries. But Purdy, who ran for only 13 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries as a rookie, rushed for 48 yards on five carries in the comeback victory over the Lions in the NFC Championship Game. It was the second most of his career behind 57 yards on six carries against the Bengals during the 2023 regular season. Even though Purdy seems plenty capable, Kyle Shanahan will always be more interested in the passing numbers. So, fantasy managers hoping Purdy gains significant value as a runner are probably going to be disappointed in that aspect. |

Jaguars | Trevor Lawrence finally feeling right Tue Apr 16, 04:32 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) told reporters on Tuesday, April 16, that he did not feel fully healthy until March. Lawrence battled several injuries during the 2023 season.
| Footballguys view: Through three seasons, Lawrence has missed just one of a potential 51 starts. His lone missed game came last year, when he dealt with multiple ailments throughout a trying 9-8 season in which the Jags failed to defend their AFC South crown, fell short of the playoffs, and collapsed to the tune of losing five of their last six games. Lawrence was a disappointment from a fantasy perspective. He threw for 4,016 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions in 2023, setting himself up for a possible rebound season. Lawrence finished as QB6 in 2022; it's not a stretch to believe he'll improve on last year's QB12 finish. |

Browns | Deshaun Watson happy with recovery Tue Apr 16, 03:37 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (shoulder) told reporters he is 'throwing full speed' and intends to participate at some level during organized team activities, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The Browns are implementing a revamped offensive scheme with new coordinator Ken Dorsey, but head coach Kevin Stefnski noted that's not going to affect how they approach Watson's rehab. We'll continue to watch for more, but all of us -- the Browns and fantasy managers -- need Watson to be on point. In six games last season, he completed 61 percent of his passes for 1,115 yards with seven touchdowns and four interceptions. He also rushed for 142 yards with a TD. |

Link to story Jets | NYJ, Jordan Travis to meet Fri Apr 12, 04:46 PM
Florida State QB Jordan Travis is scheduled to have an official visit with the New York Jets this weekend, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Travis is an interesting developmental quarterback. He's got pocket presence and a quick release, but Travis needs time to develop. Travis can move, and he's a threat to take off and run. We like his ability to distribute, but he's been too much of a 'see-it, throw-it' guy at this point. Staying on time, throwing with anticipation, and staying healthy (he's a smaller prospect) are the biggest concerns with Travis. |

NFL | Tom Brady open to late-season return Thu Apr 11, 03:32 PM
Retired NFL QB Tom Brady recently told Vic Blends of the DeepCut podcast that he would consider returning to the NFL if a team in contention lost its starting quarterback late in a season. While acknowledging the possibility that his return might be a violation of NFL rules - as a potential future minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders - Brady suggested he could be tempted to play if the league allows him to do so.'I'm not opposed to it. I don't know if (the NFL is) going to let me, if I become an owner of an NFL team, I don't know. I'm always going to be in good shape, always going to be able to throw the ball. So, to come in for a little bit, like (Michael Jordan) coming back (to the NBA after becoming a part owner of a team), I don't know if they'd let me, but I wouldn't be opposed to it,' Brady said.
| Footballguys view: Here we go again. Brady could still play, but he might have to be limited to a late-season return. Never say never, but it seems a bit far-fetched to think of a Brady return. It's a fun debate though! |

Vikings | Minnesota to meet privately with Jayden Daniels Thu Apr 11, 02:16 PM
Louisiana State University QB Jayden Daniels is scheduled for a private meeting with the Minnesota Vikings in the near future, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Daniels is arguably the best quarterback in this draft class. He had 90 explosive plays (both as a passer and a runner) last year at LSU, and the Lamar Jackson comparisons are easy to see. The Vikings may fall in love with Daniels (everyone should) but we think they have their sights set on moving up for Drake Maye. |
Browns | Michael Pratt meets with Cleveland Thu Apr 11, 02:07 PM
Tulane University QB Michael Pratt visited with the Cleveland Browns earlier in the week, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Pratt is an interesting mid-round prospect in the 2024 NFL draft. He's a smart player who sees the field well and can throw downfield with touch. The Browns could add Pratt in the third or fourth round as a developmental prospect behind starting QB Deshaun Watson. |
Commanders | WAS to meet with 3 QBs Thu Apr 11, 10:33 AM
North Carolina QB Drake Maye, LSU QB Jayden Daniels and Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy are scheduled to meet with the Washington Commanders next week.
| Footballguys view: The Commanders are looking at quarterbacks, and they'll select one at the no.2 overall pick. With Caleb Williams going first to the Bears, Washington has their pick of the rest of a quality class. We've heard Commanders' GM Adam Peters loves Jayden Daniels, but we'll see if McCarthy or Maye can change his mind. |

LSU QB Jayden Daniels is scheduled to visit the Washington Commanders next week, per sources on Wednesday, April 10.

Commanders | Drake Maye to visit WAS next week Wed Apr 10, 01:17 PM
North Carolina QB Drake Maye is scheduled to visit the Washington Commanders on Tuesday, April 16, and Wednesday, April 17, per sources.
| Footballguys view: Some think Maye has 'fallen' in this draft, but that's likely inaccurate. Maye's stock is not falling, it's just that Jayden Daniels (LSU) stock is rising. We're hearing the Patriots would take Maye at no.3 overall, but they might just be trying to tempt the Vikings to move up. Rumors are swirling that Vikings' HC Kevin O'Connell loves Maye's ability. |

Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy 'could very well be the second quarterback off the board' in the 2024 NFL Draft, multiple league sources have told ESPN's Matt Miller.
| Footballguys view: McCarthy has continued to gain momentum since his Michigan coach, Jim Harbaugh, now holding that same job for the Chargers, proclaimed him the best QB in this year's class. While Caleb Williams clearly holds that distinction where it matters most (in Chicago, where the Bears have the first pick overall), it does appear multiple teams are interested in McCarthy. |
