2024 Free Agency Discussion (3 Viewers)

[Boston]

Big moves coming from the Chargers today. They're $25M over the cap and have these cap charges due:

Mack - $38M
Bosa - $36M
Allen - $34M
Williams - $32M

I'm sure the Pats aren't the only ones because everyone is aware of this but they are supposedly interested in these players.

Dionte Johnson to the Panthers. RIP his value.

Carolina is where WRs go to die these days. Was NE (might still be) or previously Chicago.

Just catching up on the Shark Pool FA thread - I don't think Diontae Johnson has any less value than the Pickett/Trubisky variety pack playing under center for the Steelers provided him. I'd rather have a 2nd year, highly touted Bryce Young than a washed Russ or Kenny Pickett throwing my guy the ball.

It's an amazing situation for Diontae. The Panthers will win at most 5 games. So there will be plenty of passing and Diontae is the best skill player on that team, any OC worth his gibb will be peppering that guy the ball around 10 times a game.


Unless you want to hand the ball off to one of those mid RB or throw it to Adam Thielen.

PPR guy lands on a team that is going to be playing from behind for most of their games? Sign me up. I don't think Diontae Johnson and his playstyle is QB dependent. Look at who his QB's have been (beyond his prime Ben Roethlisberger, Mason Rudolph, Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky). He has been pretty productive and I believe Bryce Young to be an upgrade.

PFF (Sam Monson & Trevor Sikkema) review of negotiation period:

• Winners of Free Agency
• Teams who will have to do more
• Where will Justin Fields go?
• Who will be QB for the QB needy teams?
• Which teams dropped the ball in FA so far?

Fantasy football takeaways from the biggest moves to start NFL free agency

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

2 hours until FA hits. Smoke em if ya got em.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Cowboys reportedly interested in AJ Dillon.

 

[ghostguy123]

It seems the tampering period takes the gusto out of official FA starting

 

[zamboni]

Mike Williams released as expected

A little, but guys like Mike Williams & AJ Dillon are interesting at least. There’s a whole lot of players being released right now that could be impactful FA signings.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Mike Williams released as expected

Excited to see where he lands.

 

[zamboni]

Mike Williams released as expected

Excited to see where he lands.

We can put him on KC like every other receiver that’s not going there.

 

[Grahamburn]

Jordan Whitehead coming home to Tampa on a two year deal.

 

[Donnybrook]

San Diego screwed up. He was a key piece in their trade bid for Justin Jefferson. Please keep up all the ridiculous trade offers coming.

 

[massraider]

Excited to see where he lands.

Mike Williams? He's gonna land Awkwardly, Causing an Injury

For some teams (those who shot their salary cap load yesterday), it seems FA 2024 is over before it began.

 

[Payne]

Mike Williams released as expected

Excited to see where he lands.

Why? He sucks.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Why? He sucks.

His numbers say otherwise.

He doesn’t suck. He’s just injury prone.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

A handy tracker

 

[(HULK)]

San Diego screwed up. He was a key piece in their trade bid for Justin Jefferson. Please keep up all the ridiculous trade offers coming.

They don't have the cap space to trade for JJ regardless.

Yeah, they’re in cap hell.

Jets make a splash, re-signing punter Moorestead

Not accurate. Cutting or trading Mack and/or Bosa today would free up a combined $45 MM - and word is both are on the chopping/trade block. They are currently ~$7 MM over the cap.

They restructured him to free up cap. They're now compliant for the start of the new league year, but we'll need to see how much he freed. Either way, they can still still punt Bosa in order to make room for JJ, or anyone else they deem worthy.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

As Mahomes shareholder, my wish-list signings for KC would be Mike Williams & Hunter Renfrow. They both stay in the AFC West, and give PM reliable receivers to go with Rice. All 3 with different skill sets, would compliment each other well. That would be a scary good offense for a couple years, or until Williams gets hurt trying to make a routine catch. lol

Likely wouldn't break the bank on either, too.

Unfortunately, Mack is not in KC so he can't be herald as hero and have every NFL news source report it.

Ok, maybe it is time for me to get off twitter for the day.

No way on Mike Williams. Cannot stay healthy. It would be pointless to bring him in there.

His healthy season was what, 1400 yards?

Solution: keep him in bubble wrap till playoff time.

Yeah, unfortunately Mike Williams seems destined to go to a poverty franchise like the Raiders, Bears, Jets, etc. Somebody who nobody else wants to play for, so they have to rehab their value. I'd be surprised if he got more than a 1-year deal. Show everyone you're still healthy and then re-enter Free Agency at age 30.


I am suddenly convincing myself he's going to end up in Kansas City now. Maybe you're onto something HSG, a 1-year deal like they did with Juju actually makes sense because there is precedent for it. You got a big ole brain up there don't you smart guy?

 

[Grahamburn]

It’s a perfect time to trade him. Especially if it’s true he turned down $30M AAV? His value will never be higher, it’s an all time great WR class, and the Vikings are going nowhere fast.

Dude has the size & speed to be a difference maker. A little luck with health & he’s a great fit for the Chiefs.

The show is over. All that's left are the undesirables.


It's like dating after 35. Teams would rather entertain the prospect of a younger woman (NFL Draft) before settling for the single mom with two baby daddies.

Once someone threatens me, I’m no longer interested in anything they have to say, ever.

Yo, Titans are NOT playing

No but they are paying.

That’s a lot of scratch for Ridley. Maybe they regret losing AJB.

 

[Donnybrook]

#Dolphins have officially released CB Xavien Howard.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Last year’s FA seems extremely boring by comparison.

Pour 2024 NFL FA directly into my eyeholes. Ahhhhh, that’s the stuff.

Hopefully the 49ers pounce and finally address one of their biggest needs

Wonder if they scouted using their own game film. Ridley had like 30% of his fantasy points in the 2 Titans games.

2 years 50 mill. Now is the time to pay for WR, give Levis a chance, and you have two years to find young WRs. I like it

The Mason Rudolph signing was sharp, too. If Levis flops they have a quality backup.’

If that was the case they shoulda been out there paying defensive backs.
