We’re in Indianapolis, and the college prospects are filtering in, too (team interviews start tonight with the linebackers), but this week at the combine is going to be about a whole lot more than the draft …
• The first quarterbacking domino could fall this week, with Derek Carr a free agent and Aaron Rodgers coming out of the darkness. As we reported this morning, Carr expressed to the Jets his desire to survey the landscape, and the Jets’ plan has been to do the same, but the mutual interest there is very real. On top of that, whatever decision comes from Rodgers could wind up greasing the skids for moves from other teams at the position, and the Packers—like the Jets—are staying loose with their quarterbacking plans.
And this week is important because those two teams, and the other 30, will be here.
