From deep sea fishing to sumo wrestling: How NFL stars are spending the offseason image

The NFL season isn't quite over yet, but many of the league's biggest names have already jetted off on lavish trips to celebrate their time on the field coming to a hard stop. 

While the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots still have Super Bowl LX to look forward to in Santa Clara on Feb. 8, many of the other NFL teams have handed their rosters their walking papers for the next few months - and plenty of players didn't think twice about hopping on a jet plane to celebrate their season coming to an end. 

Here are some of the players who have already jet-setted out of their teams' cities, with plenty sure to follow suit. 

Cam Skattebo swaps NYC snowstorms for sunshine in Mexico

Now that his season is officially over, New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo, 23, has traded the freezing temperatures in New York for the sunny skies in Mexico. 

Currently enjoying his post-season life after suffering a  season-ending injury to his right ankle during the Giants' Week 8 game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Skattebo has jetted off on a tropical getaway with his girlfriend, Chloe Rodriguez. 

Rodriguez proved that Skattebo is recovering just fine in the offseason, by sharing a loved-up selfie kissing him on a beach in Mexico on her Instagram Story on Tuesday, Jan. 27. 

Zach Wilson embraces sumo wrestling during Japan trip

Miami Dolphins quarterback Zach Wilson is soaking up the sights and culture in Japan with his wife, Nicolette Dellanno, now that his NFL season is also completed. 

Zach, 26, and his wife of seven months were spotted exploring the city, visiting luxury stores filled with Louis Vuitton handbags, and even taking in a sumo wrestling match, where Nicolette went as far as to suit up. 

On Monday, Jan. 26, Nicolette shared a carousel of photos on Instagram, highlighting their time exploring the foreign city.

The NFL WAG captioned the post, "big fan of Japan."

Jaxson Dart catches massive tuna in Cabo  

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, 22, has whisked his new girlfriend, model and ring girl Marissa Ayers, away on a Mexican getaway. 

This week, several photos went viral showing the NFL quarterback deep sea fishing with Ayers off the coast of Mexico. In one snap, the Ole Miss alum is seen reeling in a massive tuna before the staff on his chartered boat got right to work cutting up the meat so the NFL star and his girlfriend could enjoy it on cue.

Deshaun Watson plays tourist in Italy 

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, 30, has also taken his travels internationally with a trip to Italy. 

The NFL star's wife, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Jilly Anais, has been documenting the couple's entire getaway, sharing several videos along the way on Instagram. 

On Monday, Jan. 26, Anais shared a recap of the couple's trip to Florence. After revealing that they planned to visit three countries on the lavish getaway and hired a separate car to transport their luggage to the airport, the NFL WAG joked, "You would think we were about to move to Europe."

She later shared a short clip from her first class seat aboard a nine-plus-hour red-eye, along with several snaps from her and Deshaun's time abroad. On the first two days of the trip, the couple indulged in fine Italian cuisine, shopped at Hermes and Louis Vuitton, and took in sweeping views of the city's architecture. 

Jawaan Taylor enjoys sun-soaked beach escape

The Kansas City Chiefs didn't have the season that anyone expected. Not only did the team close out the year with their quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, suffering a torn ACL, they finished with a stunning 6-11 record. A few of the team's players have now hit the road to reset during the offseason, including Chiefs' offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor. 

Taylor, 28, has jetted off on a getaway with his fiancee, Tiffany Hylton, who's currently expecting their first child. 

While it's unclear where they went, photos shared on social media by Hylton suggest that it's somewhere warm and tropical. 

"Baby moon 🌙," Hylton captioned a Tuesday, Jan. 27 Instagram post, alongside a carousel of photos rocking a bikini with sweeping ocean views behind her. 

Shedeur Sanders sits front row at Paris Fashion Week

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, 23, has swapped the bitter Ohio cold weather out for the streets of Paris. 

Currently enjoying a break from his first season in the NFL, Shedeur made time to jet off to France with his brother, Shilo Sanders, to attend Paris Fashion Week. 

The brothers - and sons of NFL legend Deion Sanders - sat front row at the Amiri fashion show wearing coordinated, trendy brown looks. Shilo shard a YouTube recap of their time in France, which included a stop at a Levi's store where they discussed designing their own jeans. 

CJ Stroud heads straight to Mexico after playoff loss

NFL players seem to love Mexico, and that includes 24-year-old Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud. 

While many people thought it was a joke when the NFL shared a funny video on social media of Stroud doing a silly dance in the surf in Mexico immediately after the Houstons were knocked out of the Divisional Round of the playoff, rumors have continued to swirl that Stroud did indeed go straight to Cancun for a post-season vacation. 

He didn't share a highlight reel from the reported trip on social media yet, but it appears that the NFL quarterback may have jetted off for some sunshine after his season wrapped up. 

Davon Godchaux is unwinding in St. Barts

New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Davon Godchaux, 31, is using the lavish island of St. Barts to help him recover from his latest NFL season. It's no surprise that St. Barts was the destination of choice for at least one NFL post-season getaway, as it's known for being a celebrity hotspot. 

On Monday, Jan. 26, Godchaux's wife of two years, Chanel Iman, shared a carousel of photos from the couple's whirlwind trip, which is apparenlty an annual occurrence. 

The NFL WAG captioned the post, "St. Barths, our love language 🇫🇷❤️ An anniversary tradition we never skip 🎉 ✨ We come back every year to remind ourselves why 🙌🏾."

A week earlier, the model shared on Instagram that the couple had jetted off to Dubai, showing that Godchaux is making the most of his time off the field. 

Several 49ers players hit the green in Cabo

Just days after their NFL season end, several of the San Fancisco 49ers' players reportedly traveled to Cabo, Mexico with their spouses. 

While the players have remained mum about the group trip, their wives have let the secret out of the bag, with several of them sharing highights from the trip on social media. 

Christian McAffrey's wife, Olivia Culpo, and Kyle Juszczyk's wife, Kristin Juszczyk, shared videos on TikTok suggesting that their husbands may have made the trip, while a video of San Francisco tight end George Kittle playing golf has also went viral.
