The 2026 Free Agency Thread

I heard they called him fat about an hour ago 😘

I meant this one

 

[Dah-Dee]

Real or Jacksonville negotiating thru Schefter?

Breaking: The Washington Commanders are signing former LB Rocky McIntosh out of retirement, sources tell ESPN.

McIntosh, a second-round pick by Washington in 2006, is returning to the organization nearly a decade after his last NFL appearance. The move adds veteran depth to the Commanders’ linebacker room as the team continues to reshape its defense heading into the upcoming season. More to come.

That defense carried the team completely.

At the end of the day players still want to win chamionships. And sadly NE provides a better chance at that than us. Comparable money you cant fault someone from choosing them. Is what it is.

This one I don't like. Being outbid for outrageous prices for Linderbaum and Phillips I am ok with. But one of the 2024 teams that took a QB who have stressed more to take care of their young QB than this team actually outbidding this team for a weapon --- hits my button. But I can deal with it. What I can't deal with is lol the post that NE does this AND outbids Washington for Okonkwo.

Yup, always the bridesmaid never the bride

Hey maybe he can be a dual player like Hunter so we can line him up at LB and WR!

 

[clskinsfan]

Wonder if they’ve called Deebo yet

I wonder if they gave him a number to take out into free agency to see if he could beat it? If they didnt at least leave the door open for him to return it was more piss poor management imo.

 

[DWinzit]

I left for 5 hours and you guys didn't sign one player? WTF have you been doing?

 

[Dlts20]

Sounds like the money was similar. Maye the belle of the ball now like Jayden was last year. Vrabel also the belle of the ball like Quinn was last year.

Why does it have to be Maye over Jayden and not a team in the SB vs a 5-12 team? Also a #1 role vs 2nd to Terry and maybe 3rd compared to who else we get?

I’m reserving comment for a bit. Need to let it play out and there is still quality out there.

But so far, all of the arguments myself and others have made this offseason are holding up. But man oh man do I want to be wrong.

Chig alone doesn’t move the needle. If we get him.

I think it’s more NE Coaches > Washington Coaches

It's the coaches and Maye over 1/2 Jayden and 1/2 Mariota

 

[Discobob]

Ok, we sign Diggs and Tyreek....the #metoocrew

Somebody get on the horn with Blondie and see if Rock Cartright can still play

Chig would at least help but definitely but yeah, we need a lot more than just him.

This has not gone the way AP led us to believe it would go, they are out bid by everyone.

 

[mcdonaldrw]

hmm maybe we will resign Noah Brown assuming his leg hasn't fallen off

 

[Dlts20]

It is almost coming across like AP is intentionally bidding just enough to lose out and keep saying that we were close when he didn't really want to pay for a lot of these guys

 

[clskinsfan]

Brought it up yesterday and didnt get any answers. Thoughts on Tyreek Hill for a year or two? You would need to manage him. And see what his health is like. But he was still a dangerous weapon before he got hurt.

Staying within the budget. Gotta be ready to be aggressive at pre-season cuts.
