The 2025 Free Agency Thread

AP and company should be making their final adjustments to the attack strategy for noon while trying to tie up any loose ends before then.

I am expecting to hear one more resigning, and that they are bringing in at least one DL, OL and DB within the next 24 hours. After that a few moves will trickle in
 
I do wonder about Noah's health. Getting hit so hard you have a kidney injury is no joke. So, let's see how that one plays out.

Diyami ... he's a really good blocker, was a good locker room guy, fully bought in. But he didn't really materialize as a receiving threat until he literally had to because everybody else got hurt. I'm pretty sure they would have him back, but if I was him, I'd at least want to test the market and see if somebody was willing to make him a bigger offer.

I also think they believe they have already partially replaced Brown with Deebo from the blocking aspect, and they can figure out a guy who can stretch the field.

But I agree, as soon as the end of the day today or tomorrow, that room might look very different.
 
Also, I put the Keim tweets into the 2025 roster update thread so those moves are memorialized in that thread.
 
I thought Tress would get a multi year deal. Glad we got him signed though. I wonder if signing him to a one year deal opens up competition this year.

I think they are exploring the possibility they don't need a punter on the roster in 2026 with how good the offense might be.
 


Didn’t see this on Fowler’s page, so guessing it was a TV segment? Can’t vouch that this guys paraphrase is correct, for the record
 
Not too surprising that Chinn and Fowler haven’t re-signed (as of yet). I’d like to have both back, but at the same time, they earned bigger deals and I suspect there’s a temptation to spend more to get upgrades.
Lucas is an interesting one. We all assume he’ll be pretty cheap (and I think that’s true), but we also all seem to think he’s one of the best swing tackles in the league…

In some ways, I feel like this offseason is a much tougher one for Peters, having to balance the culture/family aspect (which includes rewarding guys with new contracts), the desire to continue the winning, and the subsequent need to improve the roster.
Overall, I think the general consensus was that, at the time, last FA was kind of underwhelming (even though Wagner was an exciting name). Obviously it wound up looking pretty brilliant in hindsight. Wonder how much this offseason ends up mirroring that one…
 
On Tress, notice that he took a slight paycut vs this year and was coming off a 3 year deal
 
With the money being thrown around with these new contracts I just believe it has to stop at some point. Can only imagine what Daniels will get with his next deal.

I expect it will be a record deal which by that time will probably be edging toward half a billion.

Regarding Dyami, at the risk of sounding super obvious... he did nothing until everyone was hurt (as you stated) and did nothing until we got Daniels. There is a category of WR that can produce when placed with an elite QB (just look at the Randos that Brady, Manning, and Brees elevated). It still requires a good deal of work and skill.... but it's also a category of player that is generally available for a modest price. There are probably 10+ out there in FA right now, maybe more.

Even when he finally had a few good games, it was marred by drops and fumbles. Nothing against the guy but he’s maybe a JAG at best, we can do a lot better.
