In free agency, Ravens typically target players who are cut because they don't cancel out a compensatory pick for next year. That's why players who will be released -- like Leonard Floyd or Cooper Kupp -- could hold more value to Baltimore than players with expiring contracts.

Must be nice to be a consistently good team that can make decisions like that.

hey CheezeMo Dan you do realize we can still sign players right?

TBH, after the initial surge of deals, it's probably better to let the market settle down and do some value shopping. Not sure there are a lot of upper end FA's that fit what they seem to be doing.

While some of the top free agent QB names have established their 2025 addresses, Russell Wilson is an intriguing name whose case still carries some mystery. Those I've talked to still believe he's a viable option with the Giants, and that there's a reasonable chance he ends up back with the Steelers. Though Wilson is 36 and does not come off a vintage year, he did put up decent numbers (16 TD, 5 INT) for a playoff team and many around the league believe you can still win with him. All the available quarterbacks, including Wilson, are waiting on the Aaron Rodgers domino to fall. When it does, Wilson's situation will become clearer. -- Jeremy Fowler, senior NFL writer

Justin Simmons interested in two NFC East teams

The former All-Pro safety is currently a free agent and it appears that there are two teams he'd prefer to play for: The Eagles or the Commanders. 

Simmons revealed that information on the "Talkin' Ball" podcast and you can check out his full comments here. With the Eagles trading away C.J. Gardner-Johnson, it will be interesting to see if they even contact the 31-year-old Simmons. 

If Simmons went to Philadelphia, it would reunite him with Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Simmons spent the first eight seasons of his career in Denver and three of those came while Fangio was head coach.

Honey Badger staying in New Orleans

The Saints haven't been signing many free agents, but they have been focusing on their own guys. One day after re-signing Chase Young, the team has worked out a new deal with Tyrann Mathieu, according to Saints beat writer Nick Underhill. The re-worked deal is a one-year contract that's worth up to $7.2 million. This deal takes the place of the two-year contract that Mathieu signed last offseason

Mathieu is heading into his fourth season with the Saints. The three-time Pro Bowler has started all 51 of New Orleans' games since signing with the team prior to the 2022 season

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
