Buccaneers

  • Buccaneers GM Jason Lichtย reiterated during an appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radioย that they plan to listen to trade offers for backupย QBย Mike Glennon:ย “We will listen andย we are listening to teams that are calling.

Cardinals

  • According to Alex Marvez, the Cardinals appear to “have designs” on drafting a developmental quarterback.
  • Marvez does not think the Cardinals would be interested in signing free agent QB Robert Griffin IIIย now thatย they’ve re-signed QB Drew Stanton.

Jets

Panthers

According to Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer, there is a good chance that Panthers CB Josh Normanย misses offseason workouts and OTAs, considering that contract negotiations have stalled and he appears to beย in no rush to sign his franchise tender.

However, Panthers GM Dave Gettleman does not think this willย become an issue.

โ€œI donโ€™t think thereโ€™ll be any issues. He and I had a great conversation before I put the tag on him,โ€ Gettleman said. โ€œHe understands where Iโ€™m at. I understand where heโ€™s at. We respect each otherโ€™s stance and weโ€™ll just see if we can get (it) done.

โ€œI have to make decisions based on the best interests of the Panthers. We have a philosophy moving forward,โ€ Gettleman said. โ€œWeโ€™ve tagged Josh. We have the intention of having him play for us and weโ€™d like to get a long-term deal done. Time will tell. Contracts get done when theyโ€™re supposed to get done.โ€

Personย reports that Gettleman spoke with Norman’s agent this week, but the two sides remain “far apart.”

Raiders

  • Raiders HC Jack Del Rio said he is “confident” that DE Mario Edwards Jr. will play in 2016 after suffering aย significant neck injury during Week 15. (Alex Marvez)
  • In regards to the safety position,ย Del Rio said: “We need to acquire some people there and create some competition.” (SiriusXM NFL Radio)
