The NFL season might be over, but the rumor mill is moving as fast as ever. Today we have news on the Cowboys, QB rookies coming in 2024, the Bills and more.

You thought the NFL world would stop spinning just because the season was over? Not even close. With NFL Draft Combine week here, the news mill is moving fast, perhaps faster than ever.

NFL free agency is just about two weeks away and the draft will keep rumor chatter moving for the next month and a half. With so many meaningful needs for several teams this offseason, it’s a massively important period for teams to get things right.

Here’s everything you need to know today on the rumors front. If you missed our roundup yesterday, you can find it here.

Here are other rumors you may be interested in reading about:

NFL teams think there are better quarterbacks to draft in 2024

Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer told Rich Eisen on his radio show that NFL teams think there are better quarterbacks to be drafted in the near future than will be available in 2023.

That’s a bold statement considering there is definitely talent at the position this year. Bryce Young and CJ Stroud are expected to be selected in the top five… Hendon Hooker is a later draft pick but his ceiling is as high as both of those players. Hookers’ stock has been hit by an ACL tear he suffered last fall.

Breer pointed to USC’s Caleb Williams and North Carolina’s Drake Maye as prospects teams think will be better.

He also pointed to how this may impact the Bears’ decision to trade the No. 1 overall pick. If they believe there is a better chance to win with Williams or Maye, they may be better off getting rid of the No. 1 overall pick, seeing how things go with Fields leading the show again next year, and trying for one of the top-tier QBs available in next year’s draft if needed.
