Bob Poppa on NFL network made a very telling point this morning.Players could not have any contact with teams before 4pm yesterday,including their agents.You saw how many signed contracts within ten minutes of FA and how many more followed suit behind them.These players did not speak to any owners,coaches or toured the facility.Perhaps that is why some teams take a step back during this feeding frenzy.If it is all about the money without regard to scheme,ownership or team then maybe the dedication to their new home leaves something to be considered.

Not true....the timeline for negotiations and FA was changed a year or so ago.

 

There is a "negotiation period" prior to the 4pm signing time where agents of unrestricted FA's can negotiate with the teams.  They just cannot sign the contracts until 4pm on Tuesday.

Yep ... official discussions started over the weekend.  Unofficial discussions go back to the combine. 

 

For many players, as it would be for most of us, I suspect money is the primary factor in these deals.  Agents get paid a percentage so the sweeter the deal, the more money for them.  The media creates a buzz about a lot of other stuff.  

 

Since we are discussing money, I am happy for Mitchell.  After a solid year with Rivera and McD, he cashed in with the Steelers.  Good for him.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.

      Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
