Cleveland Browns impending free-agent WR Rashard Higgins is expected to test the free-agent market this offseason, but the Browns are open to re-signing him depending on the price, according to a source. The Browns met with Higgins' agent at the NFL Scouting Combine.
| Footballguys view: Higgins never really got a great chance with the Browns over the last four years. Perhaps a fresh start will jump-start his career and that natural receiving talent he showed coming out of Colorado State. Higgins could be a steal for a team who picks him up...likely for a cheap price. |

Jets | Quincy Enunwa not cleared yet
New York Jets WR Quincy Enunwa (neck) has been rehabbing at the team's facility but has not been medically cleared at this point.
| Footballguys view: Enunwa only played in one game last year. He may never be able to play football again due to this spine injury. Enunwa is on the books for $7.8 million in 2020 and there is $5.4 million remaining in dead money. |

Bengals | Cincinnati met with Joe Burrow
Louisiana State QB Joe Burrow met with the Cincinnati Bengals at the NFL Scouting Combine.
| Footballguys view: So much for the 'he doesn't want to play for the Bengals' crowd. Burrow is very likely to be the No.1 overall pick to the Bengals. He's smart and accurate, drawing comparisons to Tony Romo...and even some Tom Brady comparisons by those in the draftnik community. |
Broncos | DEN won't discuss extension with Phillip Lindsay right away
The Denver Broncos are not expected to discuss a potential contract extension with RB Phillip Lindsay until after free agency has opened and the draft has been completed, according to general manager John Elway.
| Footballguys view: The Broncos can re-work Lindsay's contract after just two years because he was an undrafted free agent in 2018. Lindsay has back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons but has also had wrist surgeries in each of the last two offseasons. He's a smaller back and perhaps best suited for a part-time role. Do not be surprised if the Broncos draft a running back in the first three rounds of the 2020 NFL draft. |

Updating a previous report, Colorado WR Laviska Shenault (core) will need approximately six to eight weeks to recover from core muscle surgery. The procedure will be performed by Dr. William Meyers in Philadelphia Tuesday, March 3.
| Footballguys view: This puts Shenault out of action for the Buffaloes pro day in March. In fact, he won't be able to work out for teams before the draft...or at least he will be incredibly limited in private workouts before the draft. Shenault has first-round talent but he could fall to Day 2 of the draft because of his injury concerns. |
Lions | Matthew Stafford interested in being traded?
Several coaches and general managers around the National Football League believe that Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford wants to be traded to another team, according to Michael Silver of the NFL Network.
| Footballguys view: These rumors have been out there for some time and quite frankly don't make much sense. Stafford has a contract that would be cost prohibitive for the Lions to get rid of him. He has a cap hit of $21.3 million in 2020 and there is a whopping $32 million remaining in dead money. |
