With the San Francisco 49ers preparing to offer quarterback Brock Purdy a long-term contract, they have let a lot of talent go to free up salary cap space.<\/p>\n
Versatile receiver Deebo Samuel is among those to leave, being traded to the Washington Commanders, so – after losing in two of the past six Super Bowls – the 49ers’ championship window could now have closed.<\/p>\n
The New York Jets were billed as potential Super Bowl contenders last season having rebuilt their roster around Aaron Rodgers, the NFL’s four-time Most Valuable Player, but the gamble did not pay off.<\/p>\n
The Jets have replaced the 41-year-old with former Chicago and Pittsburgh quarterback Justin Fields and released receiver Davante Adams, who was snapped up by the Rams to replace Kupp.<\/p>\n
Russell Wilson has left Pittsburgh to join the New York Giants, while a decision is still due from Rodgers, who has spoken to the Giants, Steelers and Vikings.<\/p>\n
The Indianapolis Colts have given Daniel Jones a chance to compete with Anthony Richardson for the starting role.<\/p>\n
In other big-name moves, New England signed receiver Stefon Diggs, Buffalo picked up ex-Chargers pass rusher Joey Bosa and the Baltimore Ravens have given Lamar Jackson another weapon by signing receiver DeAndre Hopkins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
