• As for franchise tag candidates, Schefter lists Broncos OLB Von Miller, Jets DE Muhammad Wilkerson and DE Olivier Vernon.

Quarterbacks

• Other teams that could be looking at their available options at quarterback, according to  Schefter include: the Cardinals, Bills, Bears, Cowboys, Saints, Jets, Chargers and Redskins.
• Schefter can see Kirk Cousins, Brock Osweiler and Ryan Fitzpatrick all re-signing with their current teams, which will leave very few options available for interested teams.

2016 Opener

• Schefter mentions that the Cardinals would be the logical team to open the 2016 season in Carolina should the Panthers win the Super Bowl.
• If the Broncos win Super Bowl 50, Schefter there a few options the NFL could consider including a rematch with the Panthers, AFC Championship game rematch with the Patriots or a team like the Colts.

Colts

• According to Adam Schefter, the Colts will likely sign QB Andrew Luck to a five- or six-year contract that will pay him between $23 and $25 million per year.
• Luck will likely receive $65 to $70 million guaranteed as part of this agreement.

Titans

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, there is a real chance the Titans would take Ole Miss OT Laremy Tunsil at No. 1 overall if they hold onto the pick.

Schefter mentions that the possibility remains that Tennessee could trade the No. 1 overall pick to a team looking to move up for a quarterback such as the Browns, Chargers, 49ers, or someone else.
