Cleveland Browns DE Curtis Weaver likely will part of the defensive line rotation next season if he can recover from his foot injury.

Incoming Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff said he is excited to be joining the Lions and believes he can help build a winning team. The Lions have agreed to acquire Goff from the Los Angeles Rams.

Footballguys View: Goff is happy to be with a team that wants him. Rams head coach Sean McVay and Goff had fallen out of favor, so a move was made to get rid of him. Now with the Lions, Goff will have two years to prove he can take that next step he couldn’t with the Rams. After the 2022 season, Goff has zero remaining in dead money and Detroit could move on.

Free-agent DT Gerald McCoy (Cowboys) is a player the Dallas Cowboys are interested in signing this offseason, but the team wants to see if defensive coordinator Dan Quinn would be open to the signing, according to sources.

Free-agent S Earl Thomas (Ravens) is not expected to receive interest from the Dallas Cowboys because head coach Mike McCarthy is not interested in adding Thomas at this point, according to sources.

San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent CB Richard Sherman may receive interest from the Dallas Cowboys this offseason, according to sources.

Incoming Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford told the Detroit Lions that he was not interested in being traded to the New England Patriots, according to a source. The Lions have agreed to trade Stafford to the Rams.

Footballguys View: The rumblings were that Stafford wanted to play in warm weather…and that’s not going to happen in New England. He also just got through the Matt Patricia era in Detroit, so going to the Patriots (where Patricia returns as an assistant) does not make a ton of sense.

New England Patriots impending free-agent RB Rex Burkhead probably will not re-sign with the Patriots this offseason, in the opinion of PatriotsWire’s Mike Masala.

Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson likely will be pursued by the New England Patriots if he is made available in a trade, in the opinion of ESPN.com’s Mike Reiss.

Footballguys View:

The New York Giants signed free-agent C Jonotthan Harrison (Bills) to a one-year futures contract worth $2 million Sunday, Jan. 31, according to a source.

QB Matthew Stafford’s contract is not expected to change as a result of his recent trade from the Detroit Lions to the Los Angeles Rams, meaning that he will not receive an extension or a raise. He has two years left on his current deal and is slated to earn $43 million.
