Official 2026 Free Agency/Offseason/Non-Draft Thread

Ravens signing Trey Hendrickson to 4 year, 112 million deal.

Cowboys were supposed to be interested in Maxx Crosby too and his failure to land on the Ravens might have put a damper on trading for Gary (nothing can be official before later today).

But Diana Russini from the Athletic reports Cowboys won't be going down that path. Gary deal should close as discussed.

Skyy Moore might be making enough to cancel the Quay Walker compensatory choice (guesstimated at a fifth rounder) according to Justus Mosqueda. That is a bit of a surprise. Its close and he says we need to see the full details to know. But the Packers might be down to 3 compensatory picks after this one.

Maxx continues to be on track in his recovery and if anything is ahead of schedule according to his surgeon Dr Neal El Attrache. Maxx remains on track to return during the offseason program & will undoubtedly return as the dominant game wrecker he has been these past 7 seasons.

Nothing is prettier than the streets of Baltimore at night, but I reckon, Vegas ain’t too bad at night, either. Then again, what do I know? I ain’t ever been to Baltimore and have only been to Vegas twice - and I spent the majority of the nights there holed up inside grinding at poker.

It's due to medical considerations. He had surgery in January for meniscus injury.

Riiiighhhhhttttt...............

Sounds like the Ravens got cold feet.

Did I miss it? Or is there not a word here about signing Benjamin St-Juste? I HOPE we get somebody else too - somebody better. I see Marshon Lattimore is still out there. He may not strictly be "Packer people", but if he is a shutdown Corner or near it, I'd be glad to have him. I also hope we give up on Hobbs and demote Nixon - if he's our top Corner, the situation is not improved. We also need to get one, maybe two high draft pick Corners.

It wouldn't hurt to get an Edge Rusher as a FA, but I don't really think it's an urgent need. Ditto that for D Line. Of the two, Karl Brooks is better than Wooden, so we retained the right one IMO.

I see Doubs is gone to the Patriots for $20 million a year either 3 or 4 years. He's good, but not that good, especially with the concussion history.

We discussed St-Juste a bit in this thread earlier.

Just saw it on the ticker on NFL Network. Thought the same, don't want him going to the Bears just for the simple fact that I hate the Bears and don't want them to improve.

Is it true that Ravens are backing out of Mac Crosby trade?? Please help us if the Bears get him after all.

Agree on that and the fact that Gutey has been good in the 4th round. However we better not lose a 4th round comp pick for Sky Moore, the one time we go after a Special Teams specialist. But are saying Love is the best player at his position? He's top 10 but the best QB in the league? Come on..

@TomSilverstein

Been told that #Packers signed KR/PR/WR Skyy Moore for base value of $2.5 million with the ability to make $4.5 million total.

That's not close to causing Packers to lose 4th round comp. Probably won't figure in the comp equation at all.

[sharpe1027]

So basically we are the Milwaukee Brewers, a team who can't sign our own players when they develop. We "maybe" recoup 4th rounder (End of 4th Rounders). Great...

No. MLB has huge disparities because they don't have the salary cap structure of the NFL. GB signs as many of their developed players as other teams. Historically, they signed more than most and we're criticized for exactly the opposite -- keeping their own players and not using free agency. They're doing a bit of both right now. Very different from the Brewers.

[mgordo]

Except we have Jordan Love and traded for Micah Parsons. The Brewers would never trade for the best player at their position and lock him up for 4 years.

I did read they had been trying to work out a deal with Quay. No idea if they came close. The 28 million guaranteed he got probably means they didn't.

That's too much, and I like Quay more than most. Good for him.
