Tuesday was a very busy day for the NFL as we kicked off the NFL combine and other free agency activities. With teams starting to make moves on their respected roster we had a couple teams make big moves that could be season changing next season, let’s go through some of those changes thus far.
First off we had the Atlanta Falcons release starting quarterback Marcus Mariota who started many games for the Falcons last season. With the Falcons making it very clear that they are going to second year quarterback Desmond Ridder who showed some flashes late last year. With Mariota now a free agent once again he’s expected to go back to a backup quarterback role on a team like he was on the Las Vegas Raiders.
The New York Giants have released veteran wide receiver Kenny Golladay, Golladay was a non factor for the Giants in the two seasons that Golladay was there. With the Giants taking a big swing on the veteran wideout it didn’t pan out as Golladay only had 600 receiving yards and one touchdown in his two seasons with New York.
Lastly we had the Tampa Bay Buccaneers release veteran all pro running back Leonard Fournette, Fournette was a huge contributor to Tampa Bay winning the Super Bowl two years ago as Fournette got the nickname “playoff Lenny” as Leonard had a spectacular postseason with the Buccaneers in 2021.
