2026 Free Agency Begins Thread

Wayyyyyyy More... moving from the 20's to 1 would probably cost 4 firsts plus a bunch of seconds and thirds seconds ... look at what KC had to do in 2017 to move from the late 20's to 10 OA, then look at what it cost Carolina had to do to get from 9 Oa to 1oa in 2023...

Also, maybe I'm going against the grain, but I don't think Mendoza is the type of QB prospect you sell the farm for.

I agree. He's Matt Ryan 2.0. Gonna be a good pro most likely, but no special traits.

And people used PFF to defend Watt when his sacks were down. Tj's sacks that year he won it were literally 2% of the snaps he played that season. Most overrated stat in sports history.

The other 98% of the snaps kind of matter.

Agreed, but give me the guy that makes the sack, or forces the fumble, the guy that makes the play, not the guy that almost made the play like when Garrett won DPOY, didn't lead the NFL in any stat, didn't lead Watt in any stat, yet he's DPOY on a bad team. That makes zero sense.

Are we going they going start crediting WR's when they drop passes, "well they're getting open" catching the ball matters.

Facts don't matter in today's NFL, stats do. It didn't matter that TJ actually got to the QB and impacted a play, it's that Garrett almost got there (Win rate) than TJ therefore he's better. It's a joke and a mockery of the history of the NFL. Just wait, there will be a time when they recalculate careers and rank Lambert 15 spots behind Urlacher because Brian almost tackled 20% more players. That is the type of bullshit ruining the NFL.
