HB Javonte Williams, Dallas Cowboys
Snaps: 1,866 | PFF grade: 71.3
Williams‘ one-year, prove-it deal in Dallas couldn't have landed him in a much better situation. He recorded career bests in rushing yards (1,201), rushing touchdowns (11), yards after contact per attempt (3.56) and several other categories. The 25-year-old has plenty of tread left on his tires.
10. WR Alec Pierce, Indianapolis Colts
Snaps: 2,721 | PFF grade: 73.1
Pierce delivered a career year in 2025, ranking 16th among wide receivers in PFF receiving grade (81.0) and 17th in yards per route run (2.10). A true downfield threat, he led the NFL in average depth of target (20.0) and yards per reception (21.3).
Contract projection: Four years, $96,000,000 | $45,000,000 guaranteed
Contract comp: Courtland Sutton (2021)
S Coby Bryant, Seattle Seahawks
Snaps: 2,024 | PFF grade: 66.4
Bryant has been one of the more under-the-radar contributors to Seattle‘s elite defense. Over the past two seasons, he has produced an overall PFF grade of 72.7. The former Cincinnati standout has done his best work against the run, earning a PFF run-defense grade of 80.9 since 2024.
Odafe Oweh, Los Angeles Chargers
Snaps: 1,712 | PFF grade: 80.7
A midseason trade from the Baltimore Ravens to the Los Angeles Chargers sparked a career year for Odafe Oweh at an ideal time as he heads toward free agency. He recorded three sacks and two forced fumbles in the Chargers' playoff loss to the New England Patriots and ranked 11th among edge defenders in PFF pass-rush win rate (16.5%) after arriving in Los Angeles.
Connor McGovern, Buffalo Bills
Snaps: 3,608 | PFF grade: 66.6
McGovern's 69.1 PFF overall grade in 2025 ranked 13th among centers. He has been one of the better interior pass blockers across the NFL and brings some positional versatility, with strong performances at both center and guard in his career so far.
TE Isaiah Likely, Baltimore Ravens
Snaps: 1,798 | PFF grade: 69.1
Likely had a down year in 2025 but ranked earned an eighth-ranked 77.1 PFF receiving grade in 2024. It's worth noting that he was likely hindered in 2025 by a foot injury suffered in training camp. Given that Likely will be just 26 years old when the 2026 campaign begins, it wouldn't be surprising to see him have a big market in free agency.
CB Joshua Williams, Kansas City Chiefs
Snaps: 848 | PFF grade: 72.7
Williams played just 17 snaps in 2025 but has shown flashes throughout his career with the Kansas City Chiefs. He played 400 or more snaps and earned a 64.6 PFF coverage grade or better in three straight seasons between 2022 and 2024. He would be a strong depth pickup with starter upside.

I love the D. Lloyd and Oweh pics.

Oweh at least has the speed to drop into coverage and we can't go in to the draft with a massive need at Edge/OLB.

I really like Alontae Taylor from the Saints as a versatile slot corner with good blitz ability.

Must get Jayden a TE and W2.
 
I gave it a day but it’s driving me nuts lol, Gooseneck you probably want to edit the title to be “Offseason Manager”

I got pierce and Likley should Take care of your concerns. If we get 1/2 of those players we are looking good
 

Paying Payne next year as he is playing for a contract- I paid more than I have before trying to be more realistic. We need to pick up an edge an cb in the draft and also a safety​


Devin Bush​

8. LB

Snaps: 1,621 | PFF grade: 85.2

Bush produced just one 60.0-plus PFF grade from 2019 through 2023, but he has broken out over his two seasons with the Cleveland Browns. He finished the 2025 season with an 87.6 PFF grade that ranked fourth among all linebackers, and his three interceptions tied for third at the position.

Contract projection: Three years, $36,000,000 | $24,000,000 guaranteed

Breece Hall RB

HB

Snaps: 2,026 | PFF grade: 84.4

Hall has earned PFF grades above 80.0 in two of the past three seasons and ranked eighth among running backs in PFF grade (83.5) in 2025. He will be just 25 years old when the 2026 NFL season begins and has established himself as a top-10 player at the position.

Contract projection: Three years, $37,000,000 | $25,000,000 guaranteed

10. WR Alec Pierce

Snaps: 2,721 | PFF grade: 73.1

Pierce delivered a career year in 2025, ranking 16th among wide receivers in PFF receiving grade (81.0) and 17th in yards per route run (2.10). A true downfield threat, he led the NFL in average depth of target (20.0) and yards per reception (21.3).

Contract projection: Four years, $96,000,000 | $45,000,000 guaranteed

96. TE

Snaps: 2,126 | PFF grade: 64.9

The emergence of rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr., and some injuries, led to Njoku's least productive season since 2019. It has now been multiple seasons since we've seen him at his best. He's still only 29 years old, though, so provided he is healthy, he can be an upgrade as a starter for multiple teams.

79. Conner McGovern- center - guard

Snaps: 3,608 | PFF grade: 66.6

McGovern's 69.1 PFF overall grade in 2025 ranked 13th among centers. He has been one of the better interior pass blockers across the NFL and brings some positional versatility, with strong performances at both center and guard in his career so far.


67. S

Payne Tunsil restructered-Aiyuk - prove it deal- Draft based on trade down - if not, cb at 7​


ED Odafe Oweh

Snaps: 1,712 | PFF grade: 80.7

A midseason trade from the Baltimore Ravens to the Los Angeles Chargers sparked a career year for Odafe Oweh at an ideal time as he heads toward free agency. He recorded three sacks and two forced fumbles in the Chargers' playoff loss to the New England Patriots and ranked 11th among edge defenders in PFF pass-rush win rate (16.5%) after arriving in Los Angeles.

S Bryan Cook

Snaps: 2,549 | PFF grade: 73.5

Cook ranked fifth among safeties in PFF grade (83.5) in 2025, producing a career year as he heads toward free agency. A reliable tackler, he recorded missed tackle rates of just 5.6% in 2025 and 6.2% in 2024.

HB Rachaad White

Snaps: 2,142 | PFF grade: 79.7

White put together the best season of his career heading into free agency, ranking fourth among running backs in PFF rushing grade (87.2). After fumbling multiple times in each of his first three seasons, he cleaned up the ball-security issues entirely in 2025, going without a fumble and recording zero drops on 42 targets. While he doesn't offer much as a true receiving threat, White graded in the 98th percentile on gap runs and the 94th percentile on zone runs, putting strong tape on file in a contract year.

TE Isaiah Likely

Snaps: 1,798 | PFF grade: 69.1

Likely had a down year in 2025 but ranked earned an eighth-ranked 77.1 PFF receiving grade in 2024. It's worth noting that he was likely hindered in 2025 by a foot injury suffered in training camp.

USING PFF SALARIES

CBAlontae Taylor

Andre Cisco

Cisco suffered a season-ending injury in Week 8 of his lone season with the Jets, ending a three-year streak of playing at least 800 snaps on defense. A solid starter, he has earned a PFF overall grade above 60.0 in every season and will be just 26 when the 2026 NFL campaign kicks off.


WR Romeo Doubs
Doubs profiles as a solid No. 3 receiver for most NFL offenses, having earned PFF receiving grades above 70.0 and averaged more than 1.60 yards per route run in each of the past three seasons. He has consistently won at the catch point, hauling in 45 receptions on 91 contested targets since entering the league. Over that same span, Doubs has graded in the 80th percentile against single coverage and the 68th percentile in yards per route run, reinforcing his value as a complementary pass-catcher.

Some of you are awful brave having effectively no backup to a QB who has had 5 injuries in 2 seasons. I'm not that brave, playing Sam Hartman for 3 games could very well nuke the season in October. I would not restructure Payne. I'd play him at his current rate and take advantage of his contract year motivation and then let another team make the mistake of signing him to another big deal.

I really like the idea of Likely. I've followed the Ravens and he's a beast, after a down year this is the time to be buying. Love the Devin Lloyd idea, or Devin Bush.

I think Marriotta leaves and starts. i like Likely too but he was not available. I do several of these sometimes letting Payne play out his option.
 
Who doesn't like Likely? I think many of us like Likely, but like Pitts, uncertain how likely Likely will be available no matter how much we like Likely.

I liked your post on "Who doesn't like Likely? I think many of us like Likely, but like Pitts, uncertain how likely Likely will be available no matter how much we like Likely.
 
It's very likely that Likely resigns with the Ravens though it is likely that Blough would want him on his offense over 96 year old Ertz.
 
The Ravens just signed Mark Andrews, and they are paying a lot on Lamar. Are they able to sign Likely, a backup, and still make the defensive improvements they desperately need?

I probably jumped the gun there, it is actually starting to look unlikely Likely remains with the Ravens, so Likely likely will be available, but the Comms will likely have competition for Likely as the Pats are reported as likely Likely market participants.

I say a likely Isaiah Likely Commanders pickup would be interesting at least! Maybe he is the classic who AP avoids without an advocate who knows him. AP commented that he likes that strategy to avoid swings and misses.
 
looking for another off season manager-this one lacks realism
