News & Rumors
[12:45 p.m. ET] The New York Giants will not exercise their fifth-year option on quarterback Daniel Jones. Could they be interested in a quarterback?
Very interesting for the Giants to leak the Daniel Jones news today. Are they trying to make other teams think they're looking at a QB? (If they actually were, they wouldn't have leaked the Daniel Jones news today.)

[2:25 p.m. ET] The Jacksonville Jaguars have exercised their fifth-year option on DE Josh Allen.
[2:25 p.m. ET] With all the news surrounding fifth-year options, it’s important to note the Baltimore Ravens have until Monday, May 2, to exercise their fifth-year option on wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown. Back in February, during Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta’s end of season press conference, DeCosta answered “I do,” to being asked if he “anticipates picking up the fifth-year option on Brown.”
[6:45 p.m. ET] The Philadelphia Eagles are trying to trade up, according to ESPN’s Matt Miller.
[8:10 p.m. ET] The New York Giants, Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commanders are all reportedly interested in trading down, according to The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec.
[8:15 p.m. ET] CBS Sports’ Josina Anderson reporting the Ravens are 50/50 on trade or no trade... More interested in trading down, than up, but are considering it.
