Patriots extend Jahlani Tavai, while NFL trade rumors swirl around key players like Derek Carr and Cooper Kupp.

The New England Patriots have made a significant move by finalizing a three-year, $15 million contract extension with linebacker Jahlani Tavai. This decision strengthens their defensive lineup as they prepare for the upcoming season. Quarterback Drake Maye, who faced challenges during his rookie year, is eager to collaborate with the new coaching staff, including head coach Mike Vrabel, a Super Bowl champion, and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.

In a notable trade, the New York Giants acquired Brian Burns from the Carolina Panthers, a transaction highlighted in a recent episode of "Hard Knocks." This acquisition is expected to bolster the Giants` defense as they look to improve their performance in the league.

Speculation is rife regarding potential trades for the 2025 offseason. One intriguing proposal suggests the Pittsburgh Steelers could trade for quarterback Derek Carr from the New Orleans Saints, potentially exchanging a 2025 fourth-round pick and a 2026 conditional pick. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers are eyeing wide receiver Cooper Kupp from the Los Angeles Rams, which would necessitate a restructured contract and possibly a Day 3 pick. With ample cap space, the Chargers are keen to enhance their receiving corps alongside rookie Ladd McConkey.

Additionally, the New York Jets are rumored to be considering a trade involving wide receiver Garrett Wilson, potentially sending him to the Washington Commanders in exchange for a 2025 first-round pick and a 2026 sixth-round pick. This move could address the Jets` quarterback needs while providing the Commanders with a formidable receiver to complement quarterback Jayden Daniels.

The Cleveland Browns, facing salary-cap challenges, are expected to be active sellers this offseason, with cornerback Denzel Ward potentially on the move to a team like the Minnesota Vikings for a first-round pick. This would significantly enhance the Vikings` pass defense. Lastly, the New Orleans Saints may be looking to offload safety Tyrann Mathieu to the Baltimore Ravens for a 2025 fifth-round pick as they aim to clear salary and rebuild their roster.
