The 2026 Free Agency Thread

[burgold]

The Vikings should sell off Justin Jefferson. They’ve already gutted the team and their best QB option looks like Kyler Murray. Can’t believe they gave up Sam Darnold for this shit show.

All the conditional 7ths we can get our hands on.

Justin Jefferson traded to the Commanders for twenty-two conditional seventh round picks! That sounds good, doesn't it?

I think draft wise we may be looking at 71 as a spot to land a quality receiver if we get Love (big if at this point).

I really think Elijah Sarratt can be very Garçon-like.

But we still need more weapons because we can’t operate on the hope someone is there. We have to add quality pass catchers. And hope isn’t a plan.

Based on how hard we swung, the FO seems to know this. So, I think we will continue to try.

Agreed although I is going to be hard to tell what WRs will be there at 71. There is a group of a few I like that will be drafted between the very end of the first and the top of the third

Sarratt I like. He could be available. I like Bernard even more but am thinking he will be gone. I think your guy because of the combine M. Fields might be available, I need to watch him.

Yeah from that group at of those three would be a nice add a long with a Jennings would be a sweet group. I like Fields more than many

That leaves White.

[DWinzit]

Keim making it sound like don't look for any signings in the near future

 

[Anselmheifer]

That leaves White.

It would be extremely suboptimal to not add the top Rb, who won’t be expensive, who should be a scheme fit, AND wants desperately to play with Jayden and has talked about it since the moment the season ended or even before.

 

[Dah-Dee]

I'm guessing with all the money spent we won't be able to keep Chris Paul. Along with releasing Biadasz, this seems to leave our interior OL very thin.

 

[Chris]

We don’t know what offers, if any, that Paul’s reps are fielding.

Unpopular opinion but I’d rather have Sean Tucker. He has real upside. Or hell, sign them both.

 

[RWJ]

Not a whole lot to say other than we wait. Rachaad White seems like the logical choice at RB but as we know multiple teams after him. Jennings hopefully comes down to earth on his $$$. Aiyuk is a given, pretty much to sign here once released

Tucker resigned with Tampa.

[burgold]

If it feels amazing how can it feel like he never left? He was here during the Snyder (vommit) years.

 

[Chris]

Settle was asked about ‘the brotherhood’ aspect in Washington. He said “well I’m the brother and this is the hood”. 🤣

 

[Dah-Dee]

We don’t know what offers, if any, that Paul’s reps are fielding.

Albert Breer reports Paul has "priced himself out of Washington" and Browns are "in hot pursuit" of Paul. Connor Hughes says Giants and Jets both in on Paul. Maybe if Washington moves Payne they can free up enough money to keep him, but otherwise I don't see how they sign Paul and also get White and/or Jennings. The Athletic projects a 3/21 contract for Paul, but Breer says it could be much more given current buzz around him.

Spotrac's 'real-time' cap tracking isn't yet updated with most of our FA signings so far, and adding those in appears to actually put us over the cap. I know I'm missing some obscure cap mathing there, but still, doesn't seem like there's much space left without restructurings/trades/releases.

 

[Bulldog]

Charles Omenihu is a nice under the radar signing from the Chiefs on the DL.

We have basically acquired a DL over the past 3 days.

Somebody has to go I would imagine from the current holdover roster, perhaps just after the draft.

At the same time I wonder if they are looking at Daron Payne and his cap number given the holes that are left.

It's a tempting $17M to consider using.

 

[heisenberg]

Tucker resigned with Tampa.

He got tendered.

We could still make an offer but the bucs would have a right to match, which (depending on the size of the offer) would probably be unlikely since they have bucky irving and just signed Kenneth gainwell for 7 per.

Id say if we wanted him for 2 years 10 mil we could probably have him and there would be no compensation.
