Thanks

-- Barkley signed a 2-year extension through 2028

-- Slay and Bradberry will be released

Added Dillon, Uche, A.Jackson and Green to 2025
Added Thompson-Robinson to 2026
Moved Covey from RFA to UFA after he was non-tendered
Moved VanSumeren to 2025

Added Bryant, Granson, Hughlett, P.Johnson and A.Williams to 2025

Added Ojulari to 2025

Added Marshall Jr. to 2025

Jurgens signed a 4-year extension through 2029

The Goedert signing prompts me to look at what players we lose at the end of this season and match that up with the Draft picks Howie has in the 2026 Draft. In the list below there are only two starters, Blankenship and Goedert. Nakobe Dean can be considered to be a third starter, but in Fangio’s 4-2-5 scheme, Jihaad Campbell is the better starter than Dean. Blankenship will almost surely be extended before the end of this season.

So Howie will enter 2026 Free Agency and the Draft with holes in TE1 (Goedert), TE2 (Bryant and/or Calcaterra), RB2 (Dillon), WR3 (Dotson), Edge 3/4 (Ojulari and/or Uche). That is 5 holes and 5 picks in Days 1 and 2 of the Draft. Plus seven picks in Day 3, which can address LS (Hughlett) and other depth positions. It is really an enviable position to be in.
