Trask was initially drafted in the second round of the 2021 draft, spending the last four years as the Buccaneers’ backup quarterback. He’s only thrown 11 passes in the NFL, completing four of them for 28 yards. Trask will backup Baker Mayfield again for 2025.

Levis was the Titans’ second-round pick from two years ago. He started 12 games last season, getting benched for Mason Rudolph and finishing with 12 interceptions and six fumbles lost. The Titans now hold the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, with their selection of Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders as franchise quarterback. If they have faith in one of them, Levis could be jettisoned. A market may not materialize quickly, but a team may deal a day three draft pick to get Levis in a back-up role.

Anderson mentions a third-round pick as a potential return for Cousins. The 36-year-old is heading into the second season of a four-year, $180 million contract and locked in $10 million in guarantees by staying on Atlanta’s roster at the start of the new league year. The Falcons are keeping him as the back-up to Michael Penix Jr., but teams looking for a veteran quarterback may deal up to a third-round pick for Cousins and the remainder of his contract.

According to Pelissero, Milroe had dinner with Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, general manager Omar Khan and quarterbacks coach Tom Arth. Alabama is holding its pro day on Wednesday and the Steelers are doing their due diligence on the 22-year-old. With the No. 21 overall pick in the draft, the Steelers are in the market for a quarterback, though the draft class is thin. Milroe is a skilled runner with accuracy concerns as a passer. While awaiting word on Aaron Rodgers, the Steelers are scouting a quarterback they can develop behind a veteran.

Zylstra returns to the Lions after appearing in 12 games in 2024. He caught just one pass for 22 yards and was primarily used on special teams and as a blocker. The Lions have a powerhouse of an offense and Zylstra will fit in as a reserve tight end, blocker, and special teamer.

Hardman has spent all but five games of his six-year career with the Chiefs. Mostly playing as a gadget receiver and return specialist, Hardman has won three Super Bowls with the Chiefs and made the Pro Bowl as a returner during his rookie season. He ventured outside of Kansas City for the Jets in 2023, but headed back to the Chiefs after just one catch in five games. Hardman returned 20 punts for 203 yards and five kicks for 132 yards last season. The Packers add him as reinforcement, though his traits overlap with Jayden Reed’s and he is unlikely to see a consistent role unless Reed is out. Expect Hardman to primarily operate as a returner for the Packers.

Hall returns to Tampa Bay after his 2024 season ended on a fractured fibula in Week 1. Prior to joining the Buccaneers, Hall spent four seasons with the Jets, starting 17 games in 2021 and returning a fumble for a touchdown in 2023. He will be in the mix for the No. 3 cornerback spot in the Buccaneers secondary as veteran depth.

James has provided mostly league-average play at the pivot over the past four seasons, though 2024 was by far his worst year as he struggled through an ankle injury. We don’t have terms of the contract, but it’s plausible that James is a real challenger to playing time for Zion Johnson or Bradley Bozeman. Entering his age-28 season, James has never finished with a PFF pass block grade below 64.5 in four seasons as a starter.

He’s now visited the Vikings, Bears, and Jets since last Friday. Moore was carted off in training camp last season with the Falcons and is looking for a fresh start. Entering his age-25 season, it’s still within the band of possibilities that Moore is able to become a good NFL wideout, but he sure didn’t deliver much with the Cardinals in his first three seasons. He’ll be a reclamation project for whoever signs him.

Terms weren’t disclosed. Landman, who was nontendered by the Falcons this offseason, finds himself in the perpetual meat grinder that is Rams middle linebacker. The good news is that he has a pretty clear path to starting with Christian Rozeboom hitting free agency. Landman had a 73.9 PFF run defense grade last year despite missing Weeks 2-5 with a quadriceps injury. He’s capable-if-not-exciting on early downs, but probably needs a passing-downs caddy.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the contract contains $3.8 million in guarantees and can be worth “up to” $12 million. That’s not exactly guaranteed starter money for Bradbury, but the Patriots have quite a vacancy to fill after releasing David Andrews earlier this offseason. Cole Strange started two games at center for the Pats late last season and would appear to be the incumbent competition. We’d bet on Bradbury to win the battle, perhaps with Strange heading to left guard.
