It's not a bad free agency situation although we are up against the cap so that's a good thing. I'd like to see Wentz brought back otherwise there are no "must have's" on that list. Eric Wilson has played well, but he's 31 and I'd like to see that spot filled by a younger player.


RE: A peek ahead to 26... - purplefaithful - 12-20-2025

It's not a list that makes me loose sleep for sure.

We'll see some bigger names get re-contracted, happens every year...I think TJH is a prime candidate for it as is some combo of Allen/Hargrave (Kelly?)

I'm with you on Wentz (for now)
I'd like to see Wilson brought back, maybe a two year? Dont want to run a rook out there if we dont have to.

While it's not a super strong overall draft class at the top, I really think it's an upper echelon linebacker crop. You can probably land a starting or rotational linebacker in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th rounds. I know Kwesi hasn't been great in identifying strengths of different drafts, but even that blind squirrel might be able to find a nut in this class of linebackers

i agree,  you re-sign Wilson unless the money gets stupid for his age.

Didn't Metellus just sign an extension? If Harry wants to give it another go, give him a one year deal.

Redmond needs to be brought back, he's been our best IDL this season. Priority for us for sure.

If Wilson wants to stay and the money fits, he's earned his spot on the team next year.

Also think we should keep our special teams unit together again.

Metellus is under contract through 2028

My $$ is on Harry hanging-up the cleats this year...

Either way, its time for a backfill on the roster as he waits for his call from Canton. 

100% agree on Redmond
