2026 Free Agency Begins Thread

[Shane Falco]

We are days away from legal tampering. Haven’t seen a free agent thread started.
Seeing Stefan Diggs getting a visit from the Turk.

Legal tampering. What a great term.

Teams get a 3 day jump start to talk to an unrestricted free agent and agree to a contract before free agency actually begins. Pretty much a presale

I hope the Steelers come out of the gates running. They need a S, G, WR, CB and a QB…

Predictions vs Preference:

Predictions
RB - Rico Dowdle or Tyler Allgeier
WR - Jalen Tolbert
OT - Rasheed Walker. Prediction and preference. Make a splash on the 26 yr old and get that LT spot filled.
DL - DJ Davidson
LB - KJ Britt
DB - Eric Stokes, Nick Cross

Preference
OL - LT Rasheed Walker. LG David Edwards from Buffalo would be awesome but the price tag may be unattainable. Still, I'd rather go younger than Isaac S.
LB - Leo Chenal
DB - Stokes, Bryan Cook, Nick Cross
all other positions via draft.

Prediction: The Steelers do nothing for two weeks, then swoop in for the picked over scraps.

This FA class is weak in a lot of areas, I should say most areas tbh. I don't expect much. I'd forget about the splash WR and get the LT in Walker and help finish that O-line. No QBs, not many WRs, RBs are probably the deepest group, left side of the OL is slim and the defense overall is meh imo.

most of the UFAs are picked over scraps, if there was ever a year to use all your draft picks (if over 7, 1/round), this would be the year.

Certainly has not been like that recently.

Steelers need a quarterback!

Glad they are releasing him in time so he can look for work while the LookiN is hot.
