While it's one of the things that makes Josh Allen 'Josh Allen,' the Buffalo Bills want to see their star quarterback take less hits in 2023. The trouble so far, has been the balance. While injuries are a part of the game, quarterbacks who have abilities like Allen are far more likely to get injured. Head coach Sean McDermott said it's going to be a group effort to get the best out of Allen and protect him at the same time.
It'll be interesting to see if and how the Bills address this problem - I don't expect Allen to adjust his play at all, but there are ways the team can take some of the heat off of him. Like, adding an explosive running back in this year's draft? Trading for Derrick Henry? We shall see.

The New York Jets met with Aaron Rodgers on Tuesday - flying in the G5, G5 to California to meet with him. The team's brass is set to fly back to New Jersey on Wednesday, with thoughts of Rodgers running through their heads. This is probably going to be a long-ish process, as Rodgers likes to take his time, but it's clear he's the Jets' top target.
And yes, the Rodgers to NYJ talk has led to an increase of folks betting on the Jets to win next year's Super Bowl.

Derek Carr has found his new home. Carr is signing a four-year deal with the New Orleans Saints.
The Saints were the first to show interest in Carr, even proposing a trade before he was released from the Las Vegas Raiders. Carr is a noticeable boost from last year's Andy Dalton Experiment and should considerably boost wide receiver Chris Olave's production.
The best nod for Carr, however, is that he gets out of the toughest division in football - playing Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert twice a year - to one of the easiest, where he's currently the best QB in the division. How long that will last is to be seen. Carolina seems set on drafting a QB, while the Falcons and Bucs could explore trade options for vet QBs. The numbers?
Carr also received a no-trade clause as part of his new deal. more Qb news:
The New York Giants and Daniel Jones' agent have been working hard at hammering out a new deal for the QB, including meeting in Indianapolis. With Tuesday's franchise tag deadline looming, both sides hope they will get something done before then but are willing to tag him if they can't reach an agreement.
A new report came out on Friday that Jones is asking for more then $45 million per year. This report makes it seem more likely that the Giants will stick the tag on Jones before the deadline. An update suggested on Friday that the team and Jones are progressing in contract talks, and still hope to get a deal done by the deadline. An update late Saturday night stated that Jones' agents left Indianapolis with no deal in sight. As the clock ticks, Monday and Tuesday will be key for the Giants and Jones' team to work something out.

Tom Brady retired, and now there's an opening for the quarterback job in Tampa Bay. 2021 second-round pick Kyle Trask is still there and has a fan in new offensive coordinator Dave Canales.

Derek Carr was released by the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this week and has already visited the New Orleans Saints. This weekend, he saw the New York Jets. The Jets are an ideal spot for a free-agent quarterback; with a great coaching staff and a slew of young weapons on offense, it should be an appealing job.
Carr was seen dining with head coach Robert Saleh and Nathaniel Hackett at a New Jersey restaurant over the weekend.

On the one-year anniversary of his retiring for the first time, Tom Brady has retired again. And this time, it seems like it's for real (maybe). Brady wanted to announce his decision via video rather than the lengthy, drawn-out statement he put out last February. He said it's for good this time, but I'll believe that when I see it.
There were plenty of rumors about Brady playing elsewhere in 2023 - Las Vegas and San Francisco being the two favorites - and then a return to Tampa Bay was also floated as a possibility. It came down to a return to the Buccaneers and retirement. The Bucs found out about his decision around the same time we did.

While he still has to make a firm decision on his future in the NFL, a trade is still on the table for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. A trade would free up a big chunk of change for the team ($60 million, to be exact), but he is not expected to be traded to an NFC team. A couple of intriguing teams are the Las Vegas Raiders and the New York Jets, both of whom are expected to move on from their current starters.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has been dealing with a hamstring injury for a couple of weeks, missing two games so far. Murray reportedly originally injured his hamstring at the end of October. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said on Tuesday that while Murray has made some progress, he's not quite ready to return to the field.
As a disappointing season for Arizona continues, backup QB Colt McCoy will get starting reps while Murray is out.
The Cardinals have the Los Angeles Chargers up next, followed by a Week 13 bye. It's very possible they wait until after the bye week to put Murray back in the line-up. more QB news:
Indianapolis Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor has been ruled out for Thursday Night Football.
Taylor suffered an ankle injury in Week Four, and while tests were initially negative, Taylor is still not well enough to play with the TNF's quick turnaround. However, Taylor should be available for Week Six, barring a setback, as he is said to have avoided serious injury. You should see more of Phillip Lindsay and Nyheim Hines in his absence. more:
