What makes Day 1 of NFL free agency so chaotic?
Okay, so we we have so much to get into. Day one of free agency is here, and things are just going off the rails right away. I mean, we have had so many just crazy out-of-nowhere signings, but also like some expected ones too, some weird re-signings as well. So much is happening. This is one of the best days of the NFL calendar season, which is year-round, damn near. At this point. It uh things always go down. Things always go down during the first day of tampering periods, and I mean pretty much every top player has been re-signed now, and we just we just have so much to get into. And what else can we start with other than the number one player in all of free agency going to the Las Vegas Raiders, baby?
We got Tyler Linderbaum on a fat Fucking three year eighty one million dollar deal and in terms of who we signed as well, we've had a crazy um active free agency. We got um Jalen Naylor signed to us, as well as we brought back Eric Stokes, and we got the Colts pass rusher, who I can't Remember the name of it at this point, but still, um Tyler Linderbaum is a crazy signing for us. This was a dream, dream signing, and I thought that when you when you look at the cap space Um it was gonna be very difficult for the Ravens to bring him back. They would basically need him to take a pay cut. Um he would need to have less money. Basically, if if he was gonna stay with the Ravens. And it seems like he w he wanted that bag, dude, and he got the fucking bag, man.
I mean, three years eighty one million dollars to go live in Las Vegas? Shit, bro, I'd do that ten times out of ten. Um again, this is like I as much as it pains me that we're not still in Oakland, of course, this is something that we would not have been able to do. Um, if we were in Oakland, like no one's coming here for fucking For i for eighty one million even. But in Vegas, dude, like we have some leverage now as a bigger market team, so that's that's a positive and Yeah, man, it's it's just beautiful, bro. I mean the the Ben Johnson parallels of the Clint Kubiac era to the Ben Johnson era are so similar so far. It's Both teams, the Bears of last year and the Raiders of this year, seem to just be going number one.
First thing we need to do is build through the draft. Then we will take it from there. And then once they do that, they will build through the offensive line. So we drafted Ashton Genty last year. Now this year we're gonna get Mendoza, so we're gonna get our top two players, just like how the the the Bears did with Caleb Williams.
Why is Tyler Linderbaum’s three‑year, $81 M deal considered a dream signing?
But also they w remember the Bears went out and got Joe Thune, and Joe Thuney was arguably like their best player on offense last season. So we went out there, did something similar. We got the best linemen available in Tyler Linderbaum. Um again, we're relying a lot on Colton Miller coming back to full strength, but Jackson Powers Johnson, man, he should be playing in position. He doesn't have to be fucking swapping positions every two games because of shit play and injuries. We have a real offensive line coach. We have a franchise running back. We're gonna have a franchise quarterback. I mean what the fuck is happening, dude? Is my team competent? Am I gonna be watching a fine team? Like I don't even feel like I'm talking about the Raiders.
It's crazy. It's like I feel like I'm talking about the fucking like Packers or some shit. Or like, yep, they had another good offseason. Like, no, wow. The fucking Raiders. MY TEAM! We we we were trading for Kenny Pickett last year and now we're signing Tyler Linderbaum? I mean, holy shit, man. I mean it's beautiful. Our offense is going to have so much potential, bro. The defense, we don't need to talk about that. That's for another time. But um, you know what, man? It is what it is. This is this is a pretty good uh outcome, I s I suppose, um Yeah, I didn't really think it could be better than this to be honest. Yeah, we got Koiti uh Kidi Pa Paye, I think that's how you pronounce his name. Three years fifty million.
Um but yeah, so much crazy shit has been going on.
