2024-25 NFL Thread

I'm not sure why they were in a hurry to address RB (which was not a major need).

I agree. I guess it's not awful since it is basically 2 yr, $8M/yr for a 25 yo, but not a need.

Wilkins to Vegas, 4 years, $84.75 M guaranteed.

That's a lot for 11.5 sacks in 5 seasons.

20.5.
And one of the best run defenders in the league.
The best DL on the board once Jones re-signed.

Packers signing Josh Jacobs???

PFF aren't fans of the Swift deal.

RB D'ANDRE SWIFT SIGNS WITH CHICAGO BEARS

2023 PFF Grade: 66.5 (45th/59)
2023 PFF WAR: 0.13 (19th)
Fit/need grade: C-
Value grade: C-
Contract: Three years, $24 million ($8 million per year), $15.3 million total guaranteed
PFF projected contract: Three years, $22.5 million ($7.5 million per year), $15 million total guaranteed

For the second year in a row, the Philadelphia Eagles helped resurrect a highly drafted running back's career behind an elite offensive line with offensive line coach/run game coordinator Jeff Stoutland maximizing the talents of his rushers. Swift faced the Chicago Bears twice a year as a member of the Detroit Lions, but he maxed out at 151 carries over his first three seasons, often dealing with minor injuries. Chicago is paying for the 2023 production, with the Miles Sanders warning sign right in front of them. Chicago's resources would have been much better spent elsewhere.

*flush money*

Cousins to the Falcons.

Swift has already won a game for the Bears during his rookie season.

Be curious to see the numbers on Jacobs deal and what happens with Jones (either a release or restructure).

Shame on me for trusting ESPN article.

He is a great run defender. Seems like a lot for mostly run defense, but not terrible.

Collusion!

Saquon to the Eagles
Three years, $37.75 million. $26 million guaranteed.

I did not expect the RB market to be this robust. Not saying these RB's are getting great deals, but the market certainly has seen demand a lot higher than I thought it would be.

I'm no expert, but I've been hearing that the draft class for RBs is very thin. Could this be driving the market?

[Uncle Rico]

What's the Justin Fields market at the moment?  New England?  Denver?

Sounds like they were able to restructure, I like this two headed monster. A solid running game keeps the pressure off Love a bit.

There can't be a Fields-Getsy reunion in the making, can there?
Sounds like the Vikings are signing Darnold.

Maybe also the Giants? I guess it makes sense if Jones contract falls off as Fields would be due for a new contract.

[Dish]

Packers release Aaron Jones.

[Uncle Rico]

Packers release Aaron Jones.

Woo boy.  Will be interesting to watch this play out. 

Market is quite weird on RBs today.

Jacobs is fine but at what cost

[Silkk the Shaka]

Titans giving pretty much the same deal to Tony Pollard.

Headline value yes. Devil is always in the details though when these are first announced, it's all about guaranteed $. Not sure what the specifics are for each, but my guess is Pollard gets more guaranteed (could be wrong obviously)

[Dr. Blackheart]

Packers release Aaron Jones.

Cowboys on Line 1

[Jockey]

XFL

[Pakuni]

Robert Hunt gets 5 years/$100 million ($63 million guaranteed) from the Panthers.
The guard market is nuts.

[Jockey]

If takes Jones over Jacob's eight days a week. Better runner. Better receiver. Better team leader.

Don't get this move at all.
