The 2026 Free Agency Thread

There's still time to trade for Maxx Crosby.

 

[Simeon]

WTF?

I believe he is really excited with the Chig signing.

 

[Higskin]

We're about to find out how much Daronte Jones likes this guy and visa versa. Man, that would be a HUGE addition.

Cut Payne and sign him

It is beginning to look like Peters and Quinn want to fill all the holes in FA, thus freeing the team to draft whoever they want when they get to #7.

I don't disagree with the idea. I just thought it would be hard to do.

 

[prodigy]

Maybe. But there’s no reason that has to be the case if you can get a Chig and a Goedurt. Bates OT3, Goedurt well-rounded guy who is also almost an extra OT, Chig move TE/jumbo slot

In that case I don’t really care about Yankoff. Sinnott is on thin ice but can keep developing and play some FB

i'm not tied to sinnott or yankoff. I'm just making a prediction. chig is young enough so I would, personally, be fine with letting one of the developmental guys go. I would think yankoff could make it to the practice squad again.

Hargrave is 33. Let's cool the jets on his hype train a little. His pressure numbers were the lowest in a full season since his rookie year.

Adam Peters wants to get younger. I don't think Hargrave fits as an acquisition this early in FA.

Cut Payne and sign him

33 years old,

3 sacks in 16 games last year.

Probably an overreaction...

 

[prodigy]

I see we're in good company

Picking up a legit WR2 now would really open up the draft to BPA for us. Felt Love might be a bit of a luxury puck before but right now I would take him in a heartbeat....though I doubt he makes it to 7.

 

[BayouBrave86]

Terry, Jennings, Aiyuk, Burks, Chig, Ertz and Love w/Bill would be pretty nasty.

 

[BayouBrave86]

Oh and Greg Dortch.

 

[burgold]

I feel exonerated about expressing my optimism about this team's ability to recruit.

I have a new theory.

The reason that we haven't signed a wide receiver is because Pierce was the best of the bunch and he wasn't a clear diamond. Peters certainly was in on the auction for Pierce and Daubs, but didn't win it. Maybe that's because he didn't want to pay number one receiver money for someone he didn't believe was a number one.

You save almost 17M by cutting Payne... how much for Hargrave on a 1 yr deal? Obviously, if he's hurt, that's a different story ... also, you aren't signing a guy like that for sacks...

You end up in the same location next year and spent less.

 

[Canuck]

He’s pretty good in coverage, just okay vs the run is what I’m reading

New FS??

 

[Bulldog]

Terry, Jennings, Aiyuk, Burks, Chig, Ertz and Love w/Bill would be pretty nasty.

Swap out Ertz and replace Aiyuk with a WR taken in the draft and I agree.

If we could maneuver to move up from that #3 selection to the second round we could fill both WR and RB with 22 year old players.
