Let's size up the best and worst moves after dozens of interesting NFL free agent deals were given out Monday. Are the Eagles actually improved?
'If I can play, I'm playing': Troy WR Chris Lewis opens up about cancer diagnosis and his potential road back, with episodes released once a week. Barnwell joined ESPN in 2011 as a staff writer at Grantland. Follow him on Twitter here:and attempts to connect the free agent dots, actually seeing things play out in a matter of hours can be overwhelming.
We also have the terms for Jacobs' deal, and they revealed he really is signed to a one-year, $14 million contract. That's $2 million more than a second franchise tag, but it also basically leaves him in the hands of going year-to-year with the Packers after the 2024 season without any leverage to get a new deal.
Well, seeing what happened to the Eagles at the end of 2023 made a lot of people reconsider how they felt about the franchise. One of those people appears to be Roseman, who made a decision I never would have expected Monday in signing Barkley to a.
There are lots of reasons backs haven't been involved in the passing game. The Eagles have run a lot over the past three seasons, especially when they've been ahead in games, which limits their passing volume. They have three great pass-catchers in Barkley's struggles staying healthy also make this risky for Philadelphia. He endured lost seasons in 2020 and 2021 due to ankle and knee injuries, issues that seemingly sapped his explosiveness. He got back on track in 2022 but missed a month in 2023 with another. Every free agent comes with injury risk, but when a team is paying for what amounts to a top-of-the-line talent at any position, that team is pricing in an expectation that the player will be healthy for the full season.
In one fell swoop Monday, we saw virtually all of the talented guards coming off rookie deals in the prime of their careers sign for significant money. Take the Rams, a team that typically hadn't spent money on the interior of the line in the Sean McVay era. They committed more than $30 million per year in combined AAV to a pair of guards, as they followed up the re-signing ofDan Orlovsky says the Panthers signing guard Robert Hunt will be important for the development of Bryce Young.
We have the actual terms of Hunt's deal, and the three years and $63 million he is practically guaranteed top what Jackson and Onwenu have as the maximumvalue on their contracts. If you want an example of the Panthers needing to pay a premium to bring in talent after the past few years , Hunt's contract is the clearest indicator.
Burns is also in a different position than he was at the trade deadline in 2022. At that point, he had five sacks in his first seven games. Crucially, he still had most of 2022 left on a rookie deal and 2023 on his fifth-year option, meaning the Rams would have been trading for four years of potential cost control given the possibility of two franchise tags. That sort of runway helps create cost flexibility and saves significant money.
The Titans weren't a great team a year ago, but two things they did well were stop the run and generate pressure up the middle. Some of that was star tackle, who posted a career-high 11.5 sacks in his age-33 season. Autry was never going to have a wild market given his age, but I was surprised to see him sign forthis early in free agency.
