Oh Rodgers being an indecisive ***** again? Who saw that coming?!!! -
I think free agency should be to fill holes, but the draft is where you find your stars/elite players. Here is why, and it is mathy. I majored in English/Journalism. I draft Williams and get him for 4 years at $2m per. I then sign him to a $26m 4 year contract. Williams was my DT at an average of $14m per year for 8 years. I sign Williams as a free agent for $26m, I get him for 4 years and during those four years, paid him an average of $12m more than average over 8 years...Hold on, there is more. If I draft Williams at $2m per year for 4 years and then let him enter free agency, you could argue that I got a bargain, but if you look at the arc of a typical career, you allowed a developing player to occupy a roster spot and you paid $8m for him to go to another team during his prime. You become a farm team for the other 31 teams. So it is best to draft and keep your players--and not overpay for free agents or let your developmental talent walk. I am dizzy now. -

Currently 31 players on contract in 2026 with $89,178,390 in cap space per OTC. However, 5 of those players are just void deals and 2 of the players the financial terms of their contracts have not been disclosed yet. So, we really aren't in great cap shape for 2026 at the moment. Lots more moves still on the table to see how it shakes out.
