Declining the offer from the New York Jets, which included the No. 10 pick in the 2022 NFL draft, was confirmed by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The Jets eventually selected Garrett Wilson with that pick, while the San Francisco team extended Samuel’s contract.
During the NFL combine, general manager John Lynch announced that the team will comply with Samuel’s request this time around. As for CB Jaire Alexander of the Green Bay Packers, trade discussions have been circulating around him as reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Alexander’s availability has been limited due to injuries, as he has only played in seven games over the past two years. Despite participating in all 16 games in the 2022 season, he was able to appear in just four games in 2021.
In addition, Alexander faced a one-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the team in 2024, indicating a potential rift between the player and the organization. Meanwhile, LB Harold Landry III of the Tennessee Titans has been granted permission to explore a trade, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Landry, a second-round pick in 2018, has accumulated 50.5 career sacks in 98 regular games, consistently recording at least nine sacks in each of his last three healthy seasons. Notably, he has contributed 4.5 sacks in five playoff appearances.
With the Titans undergoing changes in leadership and possessing the No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft, roster adjustments are expected for the team. Landry, who is 28 years old, carries a $24.05 million cap hit over the next two seasons, marking the final years of his current contract. Furthermore, DT Jonathan Allen of the Washington Commanders has been given permission by the team to explore trade opportunities, as revealed by general manager Adam Peters.
Peters mentioned that all options are being considered regarding Allen’s future, whether it involves a trade or remaining with the Commanders. Despite missing nine games due to a torn left pectoral muscle, Allen managed to return to the field towards the end of the regular season. He participated in the last two regular-season matches and all three playoff games for Washington.ÙŽ
