Though free agency only technically begins on Wednesday afternoon, Monday and Tuesday's "legal tampering period" gives football fans much to discuss in terms of player movement ahead of the 2023 NFL season.
Matt Harmon is joined by 4for4's John Daigle to recap all of the biggest transactions from this early-week period, but first kick things off with Friday night's news that the Carolina Panthers traded for the Chicago Bears' first overall pick in exchange for four future picks and WR DJ Moore. The guys talk about why it's a great trade for both teams, how Carolina can get their QB of the future and Chicago can bolster a weak WR room with one of the best wideouts available this offseason.
Next, they talk about Los Angeles Chargers RB Austin Ekeler requesting a trade and why it's potentially a tough market for free-agent RBs at the moment. For the rest of the show, Matt and John run through a boatload of teams and their bigg offseason moves: the Las Vegas Raiders signing Jimmy Garoppolo and trading away Darren Waller, the Houston Texans beginning to put a "not embarrassing" roster together, the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons spending money on offensive line, the Miami Dolphins trading for CB Jalen Ramsey and more.
