NFL News Official 2025 NFL Free Agency Thread

[Huckleberry1]

The wholly Trinity of woulda coulda shoulda.

Threw in a little wishful thinking of a trade or release.

When they actually make these moves we can talk until then their offensive moves can be considered nothing short of neglect.

Boo hoo hoo.

 

[signbabybrady]

Temper tantrum.

Agreed.

Not sure why everyone else thinks everything is fine.

 

[Brotherblues]

Becton went to the Bolts for 2/20M.

That one stings at the price. It's very affordable and he'd have been a rock for a rookie LT to lean on. We could have done 2/25M and be pretty much done with free agency, addressing LT and WR early in the draft.

 

[maust]

Consider the possibility that I learned from our exchange.

 

[signbabybrady]

In other words if you don’t get everything you want when you want it then THEY are negligent.

I mean I want Lane Johnson, Ragnow, and Justin Jefferson but I'll settle for anything.

 

[signbabybrady]

In other words you can’t answer his question.

It's a waste of time they chose not take those options if you didn't want of those options in the article then I don't know what to say other than enjoy more Lowe, Polk, and Bourne.

 

[signbabybrady]

How do you know they were trying? I heard they were in on Fries, Mekari, Robinson, Kupp, and a number of other players, they just weren’t able to get them. Believe it or not there are actually 31 other teams trying to do the same things.

Do or do not there is no try

What moves on the offense should they had made

 

[zimmy]

I’m a bit confused about what the plan is on O. Stanley and Godwin were clearly the number one targets but Vrabel also said there was a plan b, c and d. Yet we seem to have let most of the other free agents sign elsewhere too.

Leaving it all up to the draft is a mistake. We won’t be able to fill the needs anyway but it will also mean we will have to pass on better plays to fill needs.

 

[signbabybrady]

What moves on the offense should they had made

So there hasn't been a single move at WR or OL across the league? I'm not wasting my time going back through the lists. If you want to make excuses for it then that's your choice. My choice is not to be happy about it.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Do or do not there is no try

In other words you don’t know anything, you are just whining.

 

[Huckleberry1]

One thing is for certain, there definitely is crying in football, but other that Terrell Owens all of it comes from the crybaby fans.

I know we have trash at multiple key positions. Positions that have had plenty of movement this off-season if you want to make excuses then that's your choice. Even if I accept your excuses it doesn't fix the problem so I'm still not happy.

 

[UGAPatsfan]

Gross negligence? Come on man it's not even Saint Patrick's day yet. Perhaps wait at least until Cinco de Mayo before you start pissing yourself. It's a long offseason.

These are the people who’s kids’ baseball teams get down 1-0 in the first, and they pack up for the car. There will he player movement all the way through the end of training camp FFS.

At least wait until the draft is over to go full “little *****”.

I don't necessarily expect every move to work but I'm not giving them credit for not even trying to fill these holes. Regardless how difficult you think they are to fill there is no debate that nothing doesn't fix it. I don't really care what week of free agency it is when they finally do address then I'll consider the moves until then it's neglect not to try.

What would you want them to have done, specifically, so far that they haven’t.
Who did they miss on?

One Christmas when I was a kid, I desperately wanted a G.I. Joe aircraft carrier. I don't think I ever wanted a toy as badly as that. Christmas came and went, and I didn't get my aircraft carrier. I was bummed, but being a kid, quickly moved on and had fun playing with what I did get.

Years into adulthood, I made a joke with my parents about how they never got it for me. They then explained the weeks my mom drove all over the area while I was at school trying to find it. She called pretty much every store that might have one. My dad worked late a couple times and drove to a couple places right before closing in hopes they were stocking for the next morning. (This is after working 15+ hour days) My parents even had relatives in the next state over looking for this thing.

Results don't necessarily equal effort.

But this board has taught over the last few days that it's doubtful my parents even tried looking for this toy and more than likely never even loved me.

It’s becoming clear to me that Vrabel is prioritizing culture fits over total talent in Year 1. He would rather get 6-7 wins and establish a culture this year, so that in 2026 if they stretch for more talent, they are bringing in guys into an already-established culture. That way there is more room to bring in guys who aren’t perfect culture fits, because they will conform to the established culture. If there is no established culture and you bringing in a wide mix of guys then you run the risk of never establishing one.

Right now, I have them pegged at 9 wins, a tweak here and there and you get 2 more. Thats how much of an impact the D guys will have, along with McD. People keep sleeping on what he can accomplish. His track record speaks for itself.

How do you know that they didn’t try?

Wasn’t it reported that they offered Godwin something like $20M more than he signed for?

You're the third person to say this I don't feel like playing this game. There have been tons of WRs and OLs who have moved so far.

I'm guessing in January and February you, Huckleberry and Bustamove all had plans that started with doing something/anything at WR and OL.
