Linebackers trades in the NFL
After the QBs, WRs, TEs, RBs, OLs and DLs, it is time now to see the linebackers trades in the NFL. This will be the first post only talking about the defense, and just a spoiler, we had a lot of LBs changing teams. Check out who was traded, released or signed with a new franchise.
Leonard Floyd, Rams
The Los Angeles Rams had a terrible season, even though they were champs’ defenders. As one of the consequences, they are releasing LB Leonard Floyd who is now free to sign with any team.
Matt Milano, Bills
The Buffalo Bills agreed on a two-year extension with LB Matt Milano. The deal included a contract restructure which freed up $6 million in the salary cap.
Quincy Williams, Jets
While the New York Jets don’t sign Aaron Rodgers, they agreed on an extension with LB Quincy Williams. The new contract is worth $18 million over three years.
T.J. Edwards, Bears
The Chicago Bears are trying to build a better team for the next season. Thinking of the defense, they signed former Eagles LB T.J. Edwards on a three-year, $19.5 million contract.
Germaine Pratt, Bengals
While some are changing teams, others are staying. The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed LB Germaine Pratt for another three years, with a $21 million contract.
Tremaine Edmunds, Bears
Another acquisition for the Chicago Bears defense is LB Tremaine Edmunds, former Buffalo Bills. He is signing a four-year, $72 million contract.
Bobby Okereke, Giants
The New York Giants are signing LB Bobby Okereke on a four-year, $40 million deal. The player is leaving the Indianapolis Colts.
Eric Kendricks, Chargers
We brought here the news that the Minnesota Vikings were releasing LB Eric Kendricks. After being a free agent for a couple of days, the player is now signing a two-year, $13 million contract with the Los Angeles Chargers.
Leighton Vander Esch, Cowboys
Since he was drafted, in 2018, Vander Esch has been one of the best linebackers in the NFL when he is healthy. This is the major problem though, he is constantly injured. But, because of his talent and quality, the Cowboys are re-signing him with a two-year, $11 million contract.
Lavonte David, Buccaneers
Speaking of re-signing a linebacker, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are keeping Lavonte David for another year, with a $7 million deal.
