NFL FREE AGENCY 2025

Bears could sign Trey Smith and trade for Tunsil. Their quarterback cannot leave the NFL in sacks again.
 
I am hearing rumblings that Bolton will return to Kansas City for a 4-year 56 million dollar contract. This will impact trey Smith who many are hoping will come to Houston.
 
Some good info on Will Fries prior to injury:


The Indianapolis Colts have quite a few of their own free agents this offseason and none bigger than right guard Will Fries. But will he return to Indianapolis...
 
What would you realistically want back for Tunsil?
He is better than any left tackle in the draft and in my opinion than in free agency that I am aware of. I would expect the level of 1.10 + 2.39 and 2.41 from the Bears. Cleveland would be another team that would want him but cannot afford him under their salary cap in my opinion and do not see them giving up what I would want this year. I looked at 33, 67 + round 1 in 2026 but probably not.
No trade unless we have LT's replacement.
 
What would you realistically want back for Tunsil?

If I could get both of their RD2 (39 & 41) picks and a 2026 RD2….Texans could consider this a win. There’s no way the the Bears would include their RD1-10 pick for Tunsil….even if it was a one for one deal.

A good list. If healthy somebody is going to get a steal in Willis.

There are other very good FA WR's out there that aren't listed in FA.

Wills had a grade 3 MCL with a strain of his ACL. He underwent an MCL repair the end to 2023 at which time was discovered to have meniscus damage. He didn't return to practice until Aug 2024. He was gimpy in 2024 and hyperextending his same knee last Nov............anticipation is that he will require further surgery on the knee sometime during 2025, probably sooner than later. Knee hyperextension, especially with his previous injuries, can lead to further damage to the MCL and/or the PCL and/or the ACL and/or the meniscus.............lots to be concerned about.
 
Really those injuries could hurt over in wanting to sign or resign on the same or another team. Ouch!
 
I’d love for Reid to come back. I hated losing him.

I’d like him back here too, but Reid left on bad terms and in permanent residence in BOB’s dog house. I was fully on Reid’s side and I’m sure he understands BOB and his sidekick are long gone but I also imagine it left a bad taste in his mouth. Small chance but highly unlikely imho.

I think getting benched by Culley/Lovie for speaking up in a meeting is what left him sour on Houston.
 
I like Harris especially at the end of the year 23. He was an elite player. My issue is ToTo, Al Shiir, and Pitre are terrible in coverage. That's the middle of the field, ie te/slot. Guess where they struggled? Te/slot. They could really use a safety and or a lb who can cover.
Mukuba would solve a lot of issues. Kevin Winston in the 3rd would be a really good pick also IMHO.
 
Newer studies reveal that in the 1st to 2nd year post repair, performance tends to be blunted. After that, performance tends to be close to pre-injury. Although performance level returns, longevity of career as a whole has been shown to decrease.
@leebigeztx .................... I should have qualified the above by saying that it refers to the 80% of players that are able to return to play. Furthermore linemen as opposed to skill positions are more likely return and return to pre-injury level since they are less likely to require explosive speed, agility, and quick changes of direction.
 
Right, but what would make him think he would be able to do that at Chiefs?
Or any other team for that matter?
Obviously have to know the context. But successful teams collaborate players and coaches. Not uncommon for players to suggest things to coaches, especially veteran players. Successful coaches encourage that collaboration.

EX: DeMeco asking players their opinion on whether to retain Slowik end of season and whether to promote Popovich.
 
This is the time to bolster the Oline.

Don't want to have to rely on rookies to come in here to fix the most underachieving position group. The OL MUST be fixed this offseason. Banking on a rookie to do that is not what I'd do.
