Staying in more common in the NIL time. Daniels and Nix looked great as 5th years and Ward stayed to play this previous year. 

No doubt. I just mean this was the time to strike in terms of first contract value, which will be worth considerably more than NIL money. 

But, if you notice, they were not rated ahead of guys like Sanders and Ward in most of the early big boards prior to returning. I don't think they are(rightfully so, IMO) true first round talents.

We're nearly five hours into the legal negotiating window of NFL free agency, and our top five free agents -- D.J. Reed, Chris Godwin, Sam Darnold, Josh Sweat and Milton Williams -- have all signed new deals. So who are the best players still out there and looking for new contracts?

 

Let's look at the top unsigned names on Matt Bowen's list:

 

  1. Charvarius Ward, CB
  2. Jevon Holland, S
  3. Joey Bosa, Edge
  4. Cam Robinson, OT
  5. Dre Greenlaw, LB

I really don't think much of Nico and Allar and Nussmeier could have come out this season and opted to not do so. And that is in a VERY weak QB class.

I know other guys are likely to pop up at some point but, on paper, 2026 really looks to be a pretty weak QB class early on.

Nico and Nuss were RSOs.  Too early for them.  The rate of flops for RSOs probably had a lot to do with that.  2026 is going to be absolute loaded draft for QBs.  Might even rival 2024.

Not sure what it would take, but I sure would like to get Greenlaw on a 1 year prove it deal.

Supposedly Bosa is going to end up in SF. Interesting that Holland and Ward are still on the board.

Greenlaw is probably a wave two or three guy because of that injury.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
