I thought there was no free agency until the CBA was sorted? Or if that's not the case you have to have had 6 years service to hit it, otherwise you are restricted?

From what I can see, is that players have to have had 6 years in the NFL before they become unrestricted (or until the CBA is signed which would dictate the new terms).

Due to this every single free agent we have is restricted, other than Thomas Davis.

Most teams will have the luxury of waiting but unfortunately some of the bigger market teams may end up snagging the top tier available talent for cheap as players who normally hold lots of negotiation advantage get nervous about getting muddled in the mix immediately following the CBA signing.

The way I understand it is this:

Free Agency doesn't open until the first week of March: So you cannot sign players until then, because their previous contract doesn't expire until then. (Remember all the midnight signings of previous years.)

The current CBA expires on or about the same date.

Therefore, there is no labor agreement in place between the union and the owners at the time the signings would normally take place. You would have a hard time "locking out" players you currently have under contract, while at the same time signing new players.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
