Important News 🚨
Why It Matters:
The Ravens are signaling that they are entering an all-in window, aggressively adding one of the best pass rushers in the league. Crosby is the kind of player that can completely alter a defense, and the Ravens need to be taken seriously as Super Bowl contenders.
On the other side, the Raiders are expectedly beginning a full scale rebuild. They will now have two top-14 picks in this year’s draft and have a a plethora of resources to build around presumed number one overall selection Fernando Mendoza.
Why It Matters:
These three QBs will define free agency in the NFL this offseason. Because they all had significant amounts of guaranteed money left on their deals, the teams they sign with are very unlikely to pay much more than the league minimum.
While all three are coming off of incredibly disappointing seasons, all three of these QBs have led teams to the playoffs in the past and will have significant upside relative to the cost of their deals.
Released Players Now Expected to be Free Agents:
Stefon Diggs
Joe Mixon
Jonnu Smith
Tremaine Edmunds
Cameron Jordan
Tyreek Hill
Jawaan Taylor
Rashan Gary
