Welcome to Day 2 of the new league year! We’ve already seen a massive game of musical chairs unfold since the legal tampering period began on Monday that has some of the league’s biggest stars finding new homes.
Monday was highlighted by the wide receiver position as there were two blockbuster deals centered around two of the most talented pass catchers the league has to offer. DeAndre Hopkins was traded to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for running back David Johnson and some draft capital. Later in the day, the Buffalo Bills sent a bevy of draft picks (including the No. 22 overall selection in the 2020 NFL Draft) to the Minnesota Vikings for receiver Stefon Diggs.
As for Tuesday, it was all about the quarterbacks. Tom Brady announced that he will be leaving the New England Patriots after 20 years with the franchise and he is expected to eventually sign with Tampa Bay. Philip Rivers and the Colts agreed in principle to a deal, as did Teddy Bridgewater and the Panthers. Speaking of Carolina, they also have allowed former MVP Cam Newton seek out a trade.
It’s truly a wild time in the league and there’s still a few more big names left to be signed. Where will Jameis Winston land? What about Jadeveon Clowney? Don’t worry, CBS Sports will help you run through all the hysteria and keep you informed on all the latest action in the NFL:
