Robert Saleh (Jets) absent
Jets head coach, Robert Saleh, will not be present in Indianapolis this week. He and his staff will be at the team’s facility in New Jersey while prospects are tested. General manager Joe Douglas and scouts will be on site and Saleh will participate in player meetings remotely.
The Giants are listening
Struggling financially with an excess salary cap, Giants are open to trade offers for Saquon Barkley (RB) and other players.
“We are still working on this, but I’m open to anything,” Joe Schoen (GM) told reporters. “Whether it’s a player-for-player trade, I’ll listen to everyone. If it’s a matter of trading a few players, I’m not going to say we’re open for business on the whole roster, but if someone calls and they’re interested in one of our players, I will definitely listen to it. “
Jaguars ready to give up their first choice?
The smokescreen is out in Jacksonville. The Jaguars have the first overall pick in the draft for the second straight year, but general manager Trent Baalke said he wasn’t sure whether to use him.
“You’re always open for business,” Baalke replied, via SI.com’s Demetrius Harvey.
Baalke added that the Jags are “very comfortable with this choice as well.” The lack of a first-place obvious will likely limit the number of teams willing to move up the overall order.
Steelers looking for Ben Roethlisberger replacement
The general manager of Steelers, Kevin Colbert, will leave his position after the draft. But before that, he participates in the search for the replacement of Ben Roethlisberger, who has retired. And according to him, all options are open.
“We will be open to all possible options. We already have Mason Rudolph and Dwayne Haskins on the roster. Are we going to consider exchanges? Absoutely. Will we be looking at free agents? Sure. We will watch the draft. And we will try to find the best way forward, because we know that we are moving forward for the first time in 18 years. “
But even if the Steelers need a quarterback, Colbert said Pittsburgh won’t force things on a player who isn’t up to the job.
Denver “aggressive” in its quest for quarterback
The Broncos are looking for a quarterback and let it be known. General manager George Patton said he was looking for the “best guy possible” and would explore all avenues.
“It’s the most important position in the sport, so we’re always looking,” Paton said. “We got Drew Lock under contract, we got ‘Rip’ [Brett Rypien]. But we are still looking. And we’ll leave no stone unturned to find this guy. We know we need a better player at quarterback, so we’re going to be aggressive. “
“We don’t care if it’s through free agency. We don’t care if it’s up to the draft. We don’t care if it’s an exchange. We’re going to exhaust all options to try and get the best guy for the Broncos.”
