Show Notes
The NFL Scouting Combine is in the books, and now it’s time to check the notes. Scoop City returns to dissect the combine, preview the franchise tag market, and discuss free agency possibilities. The Dallas Cowboys have officially tagged WR George Pickens, but what will the Indianapolis Colts do with theirs? Daniel Jones and Alec Pierce will have to wait and see.
Meanwhile, the trade market is already heating up. On Monday, the Detroit Lions traded RB David Montgomery to the Houston Texans. The Athletic’s senior NFL insider, Dianna Russini, shares updates on other possible moves. What is the latest with the Philadelphia Eagles and WR A.J. Brown? Would a team like the Buffalo Bills try to add a weapon for Josh Allen? And are the Las Vegas Raiders ready to deal All-Pro DE Maxx Crosby? Russini shares the latest intel on which teams could be in the mix.
Plus, what will the Minnesota Vikings do at quarterback? Are they willing to give J.J. McCarthy another chance, or will they pursue a veteran? Could a reunion with Kirk Cousins be in the works, or would they trade for Kyler Murray or Mac Jones? With the veteran market flooded, James Palmer and Chase Daniel offer insights on where the puzzle pieces might fit.
Finally, we look at which quarterbacks impressed in Indianapolis. What do we make of Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza post-combine? Where did Alabama’s Ty Simpson stand out most, and would the Los Angeles Rams target him in the first round? We also discuss whether a team will take a flyer on Arkansas QB Taylen Green after his impressive performance.
