NFC West

Arizona Cardinals

Jonathan Cooper, OG (Option Declined by Patriots) – Cooper is no longer a problem for the men in the desert, as he was part of the trade that sent Chandler Jones away from the Patriots. As a result, New England will not pick up the option.

Los Angeles Rams

Tavon Austin, WR (Option Accepted) and Alec Ogletree, LB (Option Accepted) – One of the fastest young receivers, Austin will be spending the next two seasons (barring a trade or sudden retirement) as part of the Rams’ return to the City of Angels and could spend even more time there if a long term deal comes his way. Ogletree benefits from being able to stay healthy and convince the team he can stick around for the long term.

San Francisco 49ers

Eric Reid, S (Option Accepted) – After a 2015 season that saw him have a better year in some categories and a down season in others, the team is picking up this deal for a reason that has some people scratching their heads.

Seattle Seahawks

No first round pick in 2013 NFL Draft
