2026 Free Agent Thread

Everyone won't be a superstar. Patrick Queen was #2 on solo tackles, #1 on assists and #2 overall during the 2025 season. I know that play time is a big factor on that, but I do remember a lot of tackles that Queen made were very solid. Only remember maybe 2 big misses during the season? His pay puts him in a starting spot (17ish million for 2025). If he can't be a starter, he is too expensive to sit on a bench. In that case, trade him and get some more cap space. But I have no problem with him staying on the team as a starter.

 

I'm fine with that.

But I'm confused why he sucked for atlanta

 

Rodgers can't throw a deep ball any more.

He's very smart. And I would love to have him teach, but no longer want him to limit our play book as a QB.

 

I have been disappointed with Queen and Wilson but I don’t want to get rid of him. They need to change up the scheme and protect our ILB’s better and see how they play. Queen seems to lack instincts but his athletic ability can’t be coached. Need better coaching.

 

Not so bad because it's only a tweet. Awful would be him being signed.

 

Only two big misses? And how about a hundred smaller misses. This is why teams are not lining up with 2nd or 3rd round picks for him.

 

that's more of a coaching problem in him being not used as a weapon. a change of team and coaching that used him made a difference in output.

 

mr. shoulder bump.

 

I'm not anti-Queen...that's why I would rather keep him than give him away for nothing.

I just do think he's blocking Wilson from seeing the field more.

 

Or the number of times he guessed the wrong gap and got swallowed up by the block. You have to be in the right place in order to miss and he was in the wrong place a lot. They dont track that number.

 

Yeah it's called Qb. Look at the Qbs he played with here. Nobody I know thought Pickens wasn't good, they thought he was a pain in the a$$, and a cancer to the locker room.
I guarantee if He played with Ben, you would have seen numbers that rivaled ABs, maybe better.

 

They will just bring up Ben’s Alleged rape

 

He was made to keep a certain amount of the coaches when He was Hired, or did You forget all that. Also if a coach is good, why would you fire him, just to say you did. This is a nonsense that people say.
For the 500th time I have made a thread a long time ago on exactly who was kept from Cowher to Tomlin. It wasn't even enough to play a game in the NFL. It's a ridiculous statement that people made up to down Tomlin.
Average turnovers in players per team in the NFL is 1/3. Tell me how 2 years after Cowher took the team to the SB we were playing with Cowhers team, and 4 years after that for the next SB???
Plus every time a team gets a FA it's someone else's players.
I could say McVay hasn't went to a SB yet without someone else's Qb, or players, but it's retarded to say. Hell both HCs this year in the SB went with a different HCs players. Mike Vrabel for the Pats was only there for one year, and Seattle's HC 2 years, so they both did it with someone else's players. See how stupid that is.

 

Isn’t Tomlin retired?

 

LoL. Yeah a Trubisky, Mason, Pickett, and a Old Wilson had nothing to do with that. LoL

 

Quarterback play makes a huge difference for a receiver. So does having a star receiver on your side. Those were much bigger factors.

 

Say what you want, he had more than 10 of Cowher's players. Plus he kept 6 of his coaches. Those are the facts.

 

Hmm I must have lived in a different world. I could have sworn we were in a AFC Championship game a decade ago, and I could have sworn we have been to the playoffs 3 years straight. Now if You are just talking a playoff win, we'll I hope McCarthy can get us one, that seems to be all anyone cares about. I myself like SBs, and one , or two playoff wins don't make that happen

 

So basically, you're saying we need Trubisky back to guarantee the backup gets in?

 

How it must be to stick your head in the sand , and instead of listening to the truth go lalalala I can't hear you because I chose to believe a lie. LoL. Hey ,but if it makes you feel better, you be you. Whatever makes you get through the day.

 

Agreed, I can't believe people can't let it go. If others don't bring it up, I don't either.

Yeah I'd say.
Let's just look at 2 Wrs for a little example:
DJ, and Claypool. They both looked pretty dang good with Ben, as soon a Ben left, they can't even say in the NFL.

 

$45MM guaranteed for a guy who started 6 games is crazy.
