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

    • Not sure why everyone keeps talking about the Panthers paying him $50M/year. I don't recall anyone EVER saying he deserves that. I think something like what the Dolphins signed Malik Willis to would be good: 3 years, $67.5M but it will probably be something along the lines of Mayfield or Darnold which is around $35M/year.
    • Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.   
    • I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
