As Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson prepares for a limited crack at free agency, he has had two potential suitors take moves that most definitely take them out of the running for his services. With the Panthers trading up to No. 1 with an obvious plan to draft a quarterback, they won’t be pursuing Jackson.

Here’s how the first round of ’23 NFL draft will go following Friday’s moves.
The Panthers will make the No. 1 selection in next month’s NFL draft after reportedly agreeing to trade multiple first-round picks to the Bears on Friday.
Prior to arranged deal on Friday, Chicago was slated to make the first selection in the draft. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Bears will receive the No. 9 pick and the No. 61 pick in this year’s draft, a 2024 first-round pick, a ’25 second-round pick and wide receiver DJ Moore from the Panthers in the trade.

The former first-round receiver was in awe of the stunning deal that sent the 2023 No. 1 overall pick to the Panthers.
The Bears and Panthers sent shockwaves around the NFL on Friday after agreeing to a trade that sent the No. 1 overall pick to Carolina. And, while the stunning move caught many by surprise, it’s unlikely anyone was more taken aback by the news than one of the deal’s centerpieces: wide receiver DJ Moore.

Justin Fields knows he will be the starting quarterback in the Windy City while the Panthers will get to select a franchise signal-caller in April’s NFL draft.
Trade details: Bears receive 2023 first-round pick (No. 9), ’23 second-round pick (No. 61), ’24 first-round pick, ’25 second-round pick and WR D.J. Moore from Panthers. Carolina receives ’23 first-round pick (No. 1)
Bears grade: A-
Panthers grade: A
This is the rare win-win deal.
The Bears now have an opportunity to revamp a franchise in desperate need of a makeover.

The Green Bay quarterback has been the talk of the offseason as he weighs his future plans.
With each passing week comes a new report regarding where things stand with Aaron Rodgers and the quarterback’s future with the Packers. On Friday, the latest update in the ongoing saga came courtesy of team president Mark Murphy, who was asked if Rodgers will be Green Bay’s QB1 in 2023.

The Tide keep winning, and they’ll keep facing the heat for the lack of action and forthcomingness with the murder case that hovers over their season.
NASHVILLE—This figures to be the pattern for Alabama, Brandon Miller and Nate Oats for as long as this Crimson Tide basketball season continues—which could be eight more games, right through the national championship. There will be a warm embrace from the Bama fans who only care about winning, a cold line of questioning in the postgame press conference and a few carefully chosen words in response.

The vocal leader questioned who the team would add before providing two examples of NBA greats that wouldn’t be ready to accept a role in Memphis.
Amid the recent turmoil surrounding the Grizzlies, one of the popular suggestions for the team among analysts and pundits has been to add a veteran voice to the locker room for the stretch run. 
However, Dillon Brooks doesn’t agree. 
Brooks, one of the most outspoken leaders in the Grizzlies’ locker room, scoffed at the idea of Memphis signing a veteran for the stretch run after Thursday’s 131–110 win over the Warriors.
