Non-Patriots Free Agency News 2024

[Cellar-Door]

What FA WR are you after?

Probably Brown is my #1 assuming it's under $15M per. After that... Short deal for Boyd? whoever is reasonable out of Samuel, Mooney Chark. I'd be looking at the trade market.
I think the biggest mistake they can make is yet again spending a bunch of value (picks/money) on mediocre guys past their prime age who they hope magically improve. (see Juju, Parker, etc.).
Either get guys in or before their prime at reasonable rates, or get short deals for solid guys, or trade.

Gabe Davis I just don't like, not sure why, he just doesn't do it for me.

Too rich for my blood.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Eh the cap blew up so much, the overpays aren't what they used to be. And of course, the actual terms of the deal are never the sticker price in the NFL.

Swift to Bears - 3yrs/$24m with $16.5m over the first 2 years.

Sure, but you pay that, then you're paying Barmore and then you have eleventy billion dolloars tied up on DT.

depends on the guarantees, but... that seems like a more reasonable deal than I anticipated. (I'd rather have Bourne on his deal though).

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Too rich for my blood.

Also, they’ve got Barmore, who should be up for a sizable extension, so giving a top of market deal to another interior DL doesn’t make sense in terms of managing allocation of cap dollars to the various position groups.

I love that Rapport puts a full ad in for the agent at the end.

Josh Jacobs to GB?

It was part of the text the agent sent him.

Minny might go with Sam Darnold at QB

 

[Pesky Pole]

I'm sure the numbers will be obscene for Cousins. That dude has owned free agency over the years.

Maybe they can be talked into an historic price to trade up to the 3rd pick.

That probably should start things moving on Brissett. Who is our competition?

 

[E5 Yaz]

The biggest laugh I’m getting today is in the tweets of Schefter and pPalissero … Look how big Schefter compared to Palisseros

 

[Sandwich Pick]

I'm sure the numbers will be obscene for Cousins. That dude has owned free agency over the years.

The guy has had 3 teams by the balls and cashed in each time.

 

[Cellar-Door]

LV, MIN, WAS, CHI, NO, NYG, DEN, lot of teams could use a fringe starter/ top backup

 

[Mooch]

That's a ton of money for Cousins. Glad it wasn't the Pats shelling that out.

I don't like these Huff and Saquon deals for Philly. They've done well with their roster so what do I know, but Huff is a niche player and Saquon has the injury history and plays the most replaceable position in the sport.

Kirk Cousins is the NFL rep on the "getting that bag" Mount Rushmore.
Dame for NBA
not sure the others yet

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Aaron Jones to be released.

View: https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1767267150371094987

 

[Mystic Merlin]

And unlike Stafford he didn’t get the benefit of those crazy lucrative entry level contracts, much less a first round salary under the new CBA. Since he got tagged by Washington, he’s been cashing in time after time.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Atlanta would have been a great spot for BB and have made passing Shula inevitable. The team now with Cousins is a playoff lock in that division.

 

[Mugsy's Walk-Off Bunt]

I'd take Aaron Jones. Yes, fairly injury-riddled this past year, but def worth a look. And a former Packer so maybe Wolf likes him (or has connections with those who do).

He’s a very good runner. Fast and tough to bring down. I don’t want to spend much money but him, Rhamondre, and Gibson would make for a very good RB room.

If they underperform because of some poor coaching by Morris, don't count it out for next year. But yeah, missed opportunity. Would have been a good spot for him.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Greenard, Cashman and Van Ginkel.... MIN is having a nice FA.....
unfortunately they lost their QB so unless they do something about it the defensive upgrades probably don't matter

 

[radsoxfan]

Feels like BB/McDaniels would have maximized the next 2-3 years in Atl. Maybe I'm too low on Morris.

How fast does Justin Jefferson demand a trade if they do?

 

[Pxer]

25 catches each of the last 2 years and $7.5MM/yr at TE. How good is his blocking?!

quite good, especially run blocking, but yeah seems like a major overpay

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Fun fact.

Jon Runyan (Jr. mind you, Senior was pretty good too) was drafted 192nd in the 2020 draft. The same position that the Pats just traded Mac Jones to Jacksonville for (if the reporting is accurate).

Last year's 192nd pick, Patriots Punter, Bryce Baringer

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Probably a bit of desperation from the Rams. Higbee ended up blowing out his ACL in the wild card game in January, and likely won't be ready for the season opener.

I think there's a bit to like about Parkinson, whose receiving numbers were a bit depressed in an overcrowded Seahawks tight end room with Fant and Dissly there too. Not to mention JSN, Metcalf, Lockett, KW9 and even Charbonnet. Agree it's an overpay, but probably not that egregious given that the Rams have nobody after Higbee, they aren't getting Bowers, and there isn't a ton out there on the wire that they could use to fill Higbee's shoes until he returns (if he does).

Xavier McKinney got 4/$68 million in Green Bay. $25 million in Year 1.

 

[ShaneTrot]

Where is Philly getting all this money? They have an expensive QB and roster.

 

[Jake Peavy's Demons]

How fast does Justin Jefferson demand a trade if they do?

The capital needed to trade for him and get an extension done might be other-worldly. CHI, WASH, & (hopefully) NE will be getting shiny new QBs...
