Following the conclusion of the Super Bowl, all 32 NFL teams have started their offseason preparations. The upcoming franchise tag deadline and free agency will bring several significant developments. There have already been some notable events in the past week, so here’s a quick recap in case you missed any:

• Garoppolo Suspended for Two Games: Jimmy Garoppolo, the quarterback for the Raiders, has been issued a PED suspension that will keep him out of the first two games of the 2024 season. This suspension, which he will not appeal, is likely to end his time with the team. The 32-year-old had two years remaining on his contract, but the suspension will void the remaining guaranteed money, making it easier for the Raiders to move on from him.
• 49ers Fire Wilks: The 49ers let go of their defensive coordinator Steve Wilks after their Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs. Head coach Kyle Shanahan cited a lack of fit with the team’s defensive scheme as the reason for the change. Wilks had only served in this position for one season, and his unit underperformed in the playoffs, leading to the decision to fire him.
• Patriots Open To Trading Down, Moving Jones: The New England Patriots are open to trading quarterback Mac Jones this offseason. They may also trade down from the No. 3 pick in the upcoming draft to acquire additional assets to rebuild their roster. Jones is likely to have his fifth-year option declined, putting him on track for free agency in 2025.
• Smith Likely To Remain Seahawks’ Starter? The Seattle Seahawks have guaranteed Geno Smith’s $12.7MM salary, indicating that he will likely remain their starter for another season. However, there is still an opportunity for the team to trade him before a significant roster bonus vests a month from now.
• Eagles Allow Reddick To Seek Trade: The Philadelphia Eagles have allowed Haason Reddick, a two-time Pro Bowler, to seek a trade partner. Despite this, Reddick has voiced his intention to remain in Philadelphia and is seeking an extension with the team. His $15.5MM salary for 2024 is not guaranteed, and he is aiming for a new contract with the Eagles.
