Though free agency doesn’t technically start until Wednesday afternoon, Monday and Tuesday’s “legal manipulation period” gives football fans plenty to discuss about player movement ahead of the 2023 NFL season.
Matt Harmon is accompanied by 4for4’s John Daigle To recap the biggest transactions from this early week, but first start with Friday night’s news that the Carolina Panthers were traded to the Chicago Bears’ first overall pick in exchange for four future picks and WR DJ Moore. The boys talk about why it’s a great trade for both teams, how Carolina can get their QB of the future and how Chicago can bolster a weak WR space with one of the best wideouts available this offseason.
Next, they talk about RB Austin Ekeler requesting a trade from the Los Angeles Chargers and why it may be a tough market for free-agent RBs right now. For the remainder of the show, Matt and John run through a boatload of teams and their big offseason moves: the Las Vegas Raiders sign Jimmy Garoppolo and sell Darren Waller, the Houston Texans begin to assemble a “non-embarrassing” roster, the The Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons spend money on offense, Miami Dolphins trade for CB Jalen Ramsey and more.
