NFC Notes: Buccaneers, Cardinals, Falcons, Seahawks

Buccaneers

Cardinals

Cardinals HC Steve Wilks said the team will be โ€œvery aggressiveโ€ in finding their franchise quarterback through free agency, trade, or in the draft.

โ€œVery smart and intelligent guy. A guy thatโ€™s going to come in and command, not only the huddle, but that side of the ball, that locker room. A competitor. A guy that loves to compete,โ€ Wilks said of the quarterback theyโ€™re looking for, per Josh Weinfuss.โ€Weโ€™re looking for all those things. That DNA.โ€

Falcons

Free agent LB Sean Weatherspoon says heโ€™s hoping to be back with the Falcons, but admitted that the Colts could be an option after they hired his college coach, Matt Eberflus, as their defensive coordinator.

โ€œMy college coach (Matt Eberflus) who recruited me to Missouri is the (defensive) coordinator for the Colts now,โ€ Weatherspoon said, via the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. โ€œThere are a lot of things, I love Atlanta, but Iโ€™m just looking for an opportunity. Iโ€™d love to be here. If things work out, this is where Iโ€™ll be.โ€

Seahawks

  • Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that it doesnโ€™t sound like Seahawks CB Richard Sherman is going anywhere soon, given that heโ€™s coming off of an Achilles injury and Seattle wouldnโ€™t be able to trade him until he was 100 percent healthy.
  • As for S Earl Thomas, Rapoport says that itโ€™s โ€œmuch more likelyโ€ the Seahawks get a long-term extension done with him than trade him.
  • Rapoport admits that if a team were to offer Seattle a ton of draft picks, the Seahawks would obviously consider the offer.
