In were the likes of quarterback Russell Wilson, linebacker Patrick Queen, safety Deshon Elliott and even running back/kick returner Cordarelle Patterson in free agency, among others, as was quarterback Justin Fields and cornerback Donte Jackson via trade.
Out the door went the likes of quarterback Mason Rudolph, quarterback Mitch Trubisky, offensive lineman Chukwuma Okorafor, wide receiver Miles Boykin, defensive lineman Armon Watts and cornerback Levi Wallace via free agency, while quarterback Kenny Pickett and wide receiver Diontae Johnson were traded and cornerback Patrick Peterson was cut.
