The 2026 Free Agency Thread

[DWinzit]

Not mentioned by anyone but could Cade Mays from Carolina be Tyler's replacement at OC?

He had been the only other name really mentioned besides the other front runners of McGovern, Linderbaum, Cushenberry and Pocic. I did bring up an old Falcon 3rd rounder from DQ's time that then went to the Niners Hennessey which would be a cheap competition with Allegretti.

Agreed, I'd takes Oweh and to a lesser degree Mafe over Phillips all things considered.

I am with you, Oweh appeals more to me as fit

He's got a chronic knee issue and has had back problems from what I have read. That'd be the issue. Too bad because he's decent.

I will be so pissed if we say we tried, strike out on a bunch of FA's and then just roll with a possibly physically washed up and mentally checked out Aiyuk and call it a day.

I'll be campaigning to fire everyone if that's what happens. Just gross negligence to build around Jayden's rookie contract and to keep him healthy.

Yes he is decent, I had not heard of that issue

AP has to know he's on notice along with DQ. Their butts are on the line. We are in year 3 after a surprise 1st season success and the roster is old and many vacancies need to be filled to get younger and better along with a record setting QB contract to be doled out to Daniels in the very near future.

 

[Anselmheifer]

Hopefully the Eagles resign him for 25M a year, and he keeps up his 8 games a year playing time average with them for the duration.

Agree. I have no interest in a guy with a very checkered injury history. I’d rather have a guy with 75% as much per game production that misses half as much time.

Going to be interesting to see how it all pans out. With the Raiders having 26M more than everyone else to spend they are going to be throwing money at players for Mendoza and Jeanty. Receiver is going to get thin quick.

Plus they now have the #14 pick I think. Fairly stacked to rebuild.

Keep an eye on Tyler Linderbaum in FA to the Raiders too. The Raiders need a C big time. Just saying.

 

[Always Commander Never Captain]

The Raiders should spend a lot of that money on the OL though, which we won't, so maybe it evens out. (Tunsil extension creates more cap space)

I'm thinking Tyler Linderbaum to the Raiders in FA might be a far fetched idea though.

Well he's gotta go somewhere, why not the team with the biggest pile of cash?

 

[clskinsfan]

Hard disagree. Narrative doesn’t matter here. He was wanted.

He clearly doesn’t stink.

Stink? Maybe not. But he isnt a top 15 C in this league. And I was one of the happiest people on ES when we signed him. He cant run block. Like at all.

And the team that got two 1st from that that team. LOL

[Voice_of_Reason]

That feels …. Slightly lighter than I would have expected.

 

[Always Commander Never Captain]

Khalil Mack at $18m and Danielle Hunter at $40m...oof...Edge's are going to be more expensive than we thought.

Oh man...Hunter is going to be 32 next year? Age is just a number for these Edge's and the effects on their Cap value. Maybe the rumors of Hendrickson still getting 30m+ are true.

 

[Anselmheifer]

Hopefully this makes them more likely to let Oweh go.
