NFL Rumors: James Bradberry, Jarvis Landry, Jimmy Garoppolo

In the Sunday edition of NFL rumors, we take a look at James Bradberry and the Chiefs, Jarvis Landry, and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.

Welcome to the Sunday edition of NFL rumors where we will take a look at the robust veteran cornerback market which includes Pro Bowler, James Bradberry who has drawn the attention of the Kansas City Chiefs.

It has been a relatively slow last few days for the NFL given how free agency started. However, there still are plenty of good to great players available as we write this and a second wave of signings is likely to happen soon. In addition, teams are now starting to focus more on the NFL Draft which is just five weeks away.

Let’s take a look at all the latest NFL rumors circulating in the league.

New York Giants – CB James Bradberry

Rumor: There is significant interest in Giants cornerback James Bradberry and the Kansas City Chiefs are among those teams inquiring, according to Jordan Schultz.

With newfound cap space following the trade of Tyreek Hill, the Chiefs can now turn their attention to addressing other areas of need, primarily the secondary. They have already been connected to free-agent cornerback, Stephon Gilmore, so their reported interest in Bradberry is not surprising. Given that he is still a member of the Giants, the process is a bit trickier as, at just 28 years old, he would like to sign an extension with whatever team acquires him. The Chiefs certainly have the capital to get a deal done but will they?

Free Agent WR Jarvis Landry

Rumor: Free agent wide receiver Jarvis Landry is reportedly seeking a contract worth around $20 million annually, per Mike Florio.

According to Florio, former Browns receiver Jarvis Landry switch agencies in his pursuit of the big payday going from Klutch Sports to Roosevelt and Jovan Barnes last week. Jarvis Landry, 29, spent the last four seasons with the Cleveland Browns until he was released following the acquisition of Cowboys wide receiver, Amari Cooper. Since then, the Browns have also acquired quarterback Deshaun Watson. Landry has had a tough last couple of seasons with the Browns which includes missing five games a year ago and struggling with a knee sprain. There should be plenty of interest for Landry, however, it is hard to imagine a team will pay his price of $20 million a season.

San Francisco 49ers – QB Jimmy Garoppolo

Rumor: It is growing increasingly likely that the 49ers end up cutting QB Jimmy Garoppolo as opposed to trading him, per Mike Florio.

In what seemed like a certainty at the start of the NFL offseason, a trade of Jimmy Garoppolo is looking less and less likely for a number of reasons. For one, many of the quarterback-needy teams are no longer in the market after several trades. Also, the shoulder surgery Garoppolo underwent is a big obstacle for teams, according to Florio. With the 49ers fully committed to Trey Lance moving forward, it doesn’t make any sense for the 49ers to keep Garoppolo on the roster, even if it means cutting him for nothing. Jimmy Garoppolo as a free agent is far more appealing than having to send assets to the 49ers to acquire the veteran quarterback.
