There’s a lot of moving parts during the NFL offseason. As we know, players get traded, released and sign with new teams. Coaches go through the coaching carousel of being coordinators to head coaches.
The same happens in the scouting departments of each team. Around this time of the year, there’s a lot of moving parts in each scouting department. Some scouts change teams, and others become directors. With the 2024 NFL Draft in the rearview, there’s been a lot of movement for many scouts across the league.
