Official 2026 Free Agency/Offseason/Non-Draft Thread

Regarding Doubs, yes, I would definitely be among those saying "Wow, he got that much?" hahaha. He's good, and I love him, but he isn't worth that much. More power to him if he can take the Niners for that much.

Regarding Gary, I read the thing about the hack too. Where there's smoke, there's usually fire. It wouldn't be the worst thing if he did get cut. He might be capable of snapping back, but I wouldn't bet $18 million or whatever this season on it.

Regarding the Bears deal for that Center, maybe that makes it more likely that the Packers end up with Biadasz - a good thing IMO.

Regarding the Raiders, they are a prime example of the opposite of the Packers - a stupidly run team that feels the need for a total rebuild. They're so far down now, though, that a rebuild would hardly be noticeable.

Regarding Crosby, I don't know if he is good enough to justify that much in trade or not. I'm more pleased if he goes to the Ravens than the Bears, though.

The Raiders are trading star edge Maxx Crosby to the Ravens for pick No. 14 and additional compensation, per me and @tompelissero.bsky.social
. A blockbuster.

A new home for Crosby and a true rebuild for Las Vegas.

Maxx sold the farm to take his man where he longed to be
They left their kin and all their friends back there in LV

Bought those one way tickets he had often begged Maxx for
And they took them to the streets of Baltimore

His heart was filled with laughter when he saw those city lights
And he said, "The prettiest place on earth is Baltimore at night"

Well, a man feels proud to give his man what he’s longing for
And Maxx kind of liked the streets of Baltimore

Has Gary been told by the Packers they are cutting him, or did he jump the gun?

Rashan Gary has not yet been traded or released, per source, as both options remain on the table. He also deleted his farewell message on IG, as @EzeirCameron first noticed.

This is not a love song
I'm just checking that your light's still on
I just wanna feel like I belong
But I don't know where I am

I've not quite broken everything I've loved
That's why I hold you in museum gloves
And you can ask me anything you like
But just don't ask me why I'm like this

All I know
Is holding you is all I ever wanna know
But maybe I'm not brave enough to tell you so
But I don't have the strength to watch you go

Trade! The Chicago Bears are trading for Patriots center Garrett Bradbury, per sources. New England receives a fifth-round pick in return.

Chicago, who lost Drew Dalman to retirement earlier this week, picks up a veteran with NFC North experience.

ESPN’s Dan Graziano predicts FA WR Romeo Doubs will sign a 3-year $49 million dollar contract, including $30 million guaranteed with the 49ers

“Doubs is still 25 years old (turns 26 in April) and is viewed by teams as a receiver who can thrive in a number of different schemes. He could be the guy this year that you look at and say, "Wow, he got that much?", Doubs caught 55 passes for 724 yards and six touchdowns in 2025.”

Just 27 years old and a former first round pick - the Packers ought to be interested if he isn't too expensive.

Bears are releasing former Pro-Bowl LB Tremaine Edmunds, per sources. Edmunds has been a full-time starter in each of his eight NFL seasons, and he now will become a free agent with 900 tackles on his resume.

This creates $15 million of cap space for the Bears.

The Packers are planning to host the Arizona Cardinals for a joint practice in advance of their Week 3 preseason game pending league approval, according to a source.

The LaFleur brothers -- Matt and Mike -- will share the field this summer.

Bears have traded WR DJ Moore and a 5th round pick to the Buffalo Bills for a 2nd round pick.

Bears might be looking to trade picks for Maxx Crosby.

Trade puts Bears 8 million under the cap and Bills 32 million over the cap.

Packers are restructuring safety Xavier McKinney's contract for cap space, per source. Will convert his salary ($4.25M) to a bonus.
