NFL News Official 2025 NFL Free Agency Thread

49ers off-season is looking rough. It's not that they lost important guys, it just adds up as we saw in NE.

The NFC is extremely weak, but on paper it looks like their window is shut.

The guy hasn't had a healthy season since 2021. No one wanted to trade for him. Now he is asking for insane money? I wouldn't be thrilled if the Pats signed the guy, but he is the best of what is left. But if he is asking for insane money, they might as well try to see if they can trade for someone better or at least more reliable who isn't that much of a drop off.

If it's that insane I'm just calling Keenan Allen.

 

[Ross12]

Book on Bradbury at center seems to be that he's a terrific run blocker - one of the best even - but absolute bottom of the barrel as a pass blocker.

I get the sense that they want to be run heavy this year so perhaps this makes sense. They'd be able to play Cole Strange at LG, although perhaps signing someone like Teven Jenkins would be an upgrade and mask some of Bradbury's pass blocking deficiency.

I'll take Offensive Tackle Cam Robinson please.

There's also Diggs, but doesn't seem like anyone is in a rush to sign him.

MIN fans seem to mostly say he sucks, FWIW. But he's been mentioned as a Center candidate here since the Andrews news earlier.

I know teams don't usually trade for guys after reports like this, but if we did trade for him it'd be a 1 year, non-guaranteed $4.9M deal we assume with another $350K in per game bonuses. Such a low cost that this would be one of those scenarios where, if we want the player, we should just throw a 7th round swap over and not need have to compete for his services where he might have a connection to a coach on another team or prefer playing somewhere else.

The Vikings were all in on fixing their interior offensive line, and Bradbury was a big reason for that. The Patriots should stay away from him.

The opinion of Vikings fans is very consistent... he is serviceable center who is a strong run blocker because he has good movement skills and quickness but a mediocre to below average pass blocker because of poor play strength. Can't consistently hold his ground at the point of attack versus many IDLs because of his lack of physical strength.

Or he doesn’t want to take what teams are offering him.

That Dude impressed the hell outta me. I love the fact that he mentioned passing it on to the younger guys. I am hoping he can help the kids in the room, we have a lot of you OLmen and I anticipate getting more in the draft.

Edit: supposed to say young OLmen

Love me a subtle little parting shot

I don’t think it’s here.
More I think about it he’s not the kind of talent we need.
We need big receivers who can win 1 on 1 matchups and win the high point balls. Or get the balls within 6 to 12 yds and get Yac.

I think it’s the second part. We want WRs who get the YAC.

They just need good receivers. Period.

Jags would be good fit they have Thomas Jr who's already Elite.

Cupp's a mercenary. He doesn't really give a crap about the team at this point.

He is 31. This is his last hoorah. Would you approach your last FA any differently?
