2026 Free Agency Begins Thread

I dont see how this makes sense in the context of the Steelers trade for Pittman. The production isn't so different. They traded most of their draft for Waddle.
I think they gave up too much as well. I would think he’s quite a different receiver than Pittman. More of a game breaker. But they’re taking a big chance on all his injuries. The difference between us and them is they have a QB. On a rookie contract. They truly believe they are a player or two away from competing to win it all. And we are not.
 
Surprised they were able to get a first AND third for Waddle. Likely had to throw in that 3rd cuz the first is all the way back at pick 30.

Seems like a good trade for both sides
 
I dont think teams think to highly of their own drafting. If you can't get a comparable player on a rookie contract taking receiver at 1, 3 and 4. Your whole scouting dept should be fired.
* sorry the 4ths were exchange of picks.

The price was a little steep, but overall it's a good move to get Nix another proven talent at WR. They are in a win-now mode and made a good move to advance the team.

Yep, they have a QB on a rookie deal and if he wasn't hurt they are probably in the Super Bowl last year, so they're win now, so they probably over paid a bit to get their guy.
 
Will be intersting. Considering no viable QB will be available, they are down to guard,wr, db (safety). If the Penn St. Guard is there they probably go there. Or a slot/ wr.

If they don’t trade up…
