Non-Patriots Free Agency News 2024

Being a backup QB might be the best job in sports. The top ones make 8-10 million, you aren’t getting your brain scrambled every week, and you still get to live the rockstar lifestyle of being an NFL quarterback.
I think it will be a race to see who is the worse overpay - Mooney or Cousins.
That number is shockingly low. Would have loved him at that price and a fair amount higher. Seems to be really coming into his own the last year +.
I was just about to post something similar. That's a GREAT deal for the Steelers.
Agreed. I would've really loved to see him play in NE. There's still some time to get an impact defensive FA save Takitaki.
I'm putting my money on this being the year the wheels fall off for Henry. He's a machine, but even machines have limits.
He only averaged 68 yards per game last year, 30 yards less than at any other point in the last 5 seasons.
We know that RB's tend to fall off after around 1500 carries. 1800 carries is an even more aggressive figure. Henry's over 2000 carries...roughly 1800 of which came in the last six years. And we know how hard that man runs. I have no idea how hes done it for as long as he has, but I'd be impressed if he even ends up over 1,000 yards next season.

Yeah, I have no idea if New England was at all interested, but he'd have been a great fit here, especially at that price.
I was looking into this earlier and I think Henry can get to 2500 carries before the cliff. Bigger backs tend to last a bit longer than the sub 220 backs. Jerome Bettis had over 3K carries before he hit the cliff and Corey Dillon had 1600yds in his age 30 season for NE. I don't see Henry getting 300 carries next season but he could be highly effective at 225-250 carries in that offense. He probably has 2 more productive seasons in him assuming he stays relatively healthy.
Can’t get over the Falcons broadcasting to the world that they didn’t want to pay Lamar but now they they’re guaranteeing an older, injured Cousins $100m.
DeVante Parker lands with the Eagles per Schefty

Did you forget that ATL would have given up two 1st rounders for the right to guarantee Lamar twice as much without the players or future 1s around him?
Miguel says this is wrong. Especially because Parker isn't being released until tomorrow.
Russell Wilson hasn’t been officially released either and he’s “signed” with Pittsburgh
Presumably the Pats told Parker he was being cut and told him it was ok to negotiate elsewhere
If I was betting I’d go with Miguel 100 times out of 100 vs Schefter whose doing a million things.
That was the one I wanted. I wonder if Uche had a potential deal with Houston that then went away when he got wind of Hunter signing w the Texans.
Mr. Simone Biles has signed with Chicago. Owens is 28 & made 11 starts last season, including the whole stretch run of the season. No word on money yet.

Bucs bring back all their top pending free agents

Offset language is automatic.
Schefter is just parroting what Parkers agent told him.
Unless there's a trade where the Patriots are getting something to eat Parkers salary, they'd just cut him and get whatever salary Philly is paying him credited back on the cap next year.
For Donte Jackson and a very late pick swap. Is Donte Jackson good? That is a deal the Patriots should have been all over if not, I think you could argue Diontae would have been the best WR available if he were part of this FA class.
Yeah. Parker is a 7+ year vet, and so his minimum vet salary would work out to be $1.21 million. Since that is pretty much exactly the number that Schefter mentions I would think that they agreed to a vet minimum deal and the agent is just trying to puff or Schefter is confused. Patriots will probably get $1.21 million credit in 2025.
Interesting to see how different the approaches between Carolina/Washington/NYG and the Pats are
Decent, definitely playable as your #2 corner.
Johnson's value around the league is probably pretty low based on:
1. Expiring deal
2. Tons of attitude issues, basically quit on his team last year.
100%. He is pretty much the exact WR you do not want working with a young QB. I fear for Bryce Young's mental health.
Would have loved to see his agent’s face when LF told a local radio guy it was either return to TB or retire.
boy i hope so he is not that bad u couild make a case he is better than niks mccarthy
Hunter Renfrow cut. Should be an interesting buy-low candidate.

Ravens are releasing OLB Tyus Bowser, source confirmed. This move was long expected and creates $5.5M in salary cap space. Bowser missed all of last season with a knee injury. Former 2nd-round pick had signed a 4-year, $22M contract in 2021.
@jeffzrebiec with it first.
Edit: weird. So posting the twitter link doesnt work anymore? Had to add a media component and use the 19-numerical code for the tweet.
Too funny...He was actually one of my 2017 draft binkies, which was one of New England's least exciting drafts in recent memory.
Deatrich Wise worked out just fine with the 131st pick, so there's that.
I’d be all over Hunter Renfrow. Only 28 and the raiders really phased him out 2 years after a big season.
Had injury issues (concussion I think?), but also he's a small unathletic guy with a pretty low ceiling who can really only play slot
Sold! At least that guy who bought the Renfrow Pats jersey the season before the draft that year could break it out.
Chargers release Mike Williams
