Darnold needed a target. He got one. Kupp isn't what he used to be but he's miles better than what they had. 

Yeah he's not better than JSN

Valid. I phrased that wrong. I meant their WR situation is miles better than what they had before. That's now a very scary WR group, in my opinion. Justin Jefferson it ain't, but Darnold's got pieces to be successful if he doesn't come crashing back down to Earth.

Nine-time Pro Bowl fullback Kyle Juszczyk is returning to the San Francisco 49ers on a two-year, $8 million deal, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday. It had been a brief split between the two sides, as the 49ers released Juszczyk on Tuesday before bringing him back into the fold.

Top names continue to get signed as we hit the weekend after a wild few days of NFL free agency. So who are the best players still available? Who might still land a big-money deal? How do quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson stack up? Matt Bowen ranks the best unsigned players remaining on the market.

 

Here are the top five at the moment:

1. Cam Robinson, OT
2. Rasul Douglas, CB
3. Stefon Diggs, WR
4. Amari Cooper, WR
5. Asante Samuel Jr., CB

The Los Angeles Chargers agreed to a two-year deal with guard Mekhi Becton, the team announced Friday. Becton is perhaps the Chargers' most important signing of free agency. L.A.'s most significant weakness last season was its interior offensive line, and the Chargers struggled to build the effective rushing attack that coach Jim Harbaugh promised because of the linemen's struggles.

2 visits, 0 contracts for Russ

Russell Wilson visited the Browns and Giants over the past two days but did not sign a deal with either team. The Giants continue to wait for Aaron Rodgers' decision. The Browns recently traded for Kenny Pickett and probably couldn't afford Wilson given their salary cap situation.

Two Bills free agent expected to be suspended after signing with team

The Bills won't have DT Larry Ogunjobi or DL Michael Hoecht to start the seasons. General manager Brandon Beane revealed that both players have been suspended SIX games for violating the NFL's PED policy. Beane says the team knew about Hoecht's suspension, but not Ogjunobi's.

Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are about to get paid

The two Bengals receivers are getting to finalizing a deal and they both could have a new contract in the coming days, according to NFL Media. 

Chase has been told by the Bengals that he'll be the highest paid non-QB in the NFL, so that likely means he'll be getting a deal that tops the $40 million per year that Myles Garrett is making.

As for Higgins, the highest-paid No. 2 receiver in the NFL is Jaylen Waddle at $28.25 million per year, so you can almost certainly expect him to top that. The most likely scenario is that he gets at least $30 million per year,  which means the Bengals will be paying an average of $125 million per year to Joe Burrow and his top two receivers.

After losing free-agent OL Mekhi Becton to the Chargers, as

@Tim_McManus

reported, the Eagles are now poised to have 2026 compensatory picks in rounds 3, 4, 5 and 6. They also already had the Jets’ 3 in 2026 courtesy of the Haason Reddick trade. They now are expected to have five of the top 100 picks, and 12 overall picks, in the 2026 NFL Draft.

I figured Kupp would want to stay on the West Coast being a native of WA state. Good signing if he can stay healthy.

Interesting strategy by the Bengals.  Just invest everything in 3 players.
