NFL players react to crazy day of trades, signings

The start of the NFL's new league year on Tuesday afternoon brought a dizzying flurry of roster moves.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis announced his retirement. The St. Louis Ramsreportedly will send quarterback Sam Bradford to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for Nick Foles. Jimmy Graham is reportedly going to the Seattle Seahawks. And the Detroit Lions acquired Haloti Ngata from the Baltimore Ravens, just to name a few.

Players were shocked to see their teammates and rivals changing teams. Some wondered if they could be dealt next.

New beginnings I see. Im just trying to eat. 🍴🍴🍴🍴
