I’m sure you’ve heard the news about all the NFL free agents that have entered this year’s market – it’s been wildl! As someone who follows the sport closely, the whole process has been really exciting to watch.From the players moving into new teams to the teams picking up new players – each move telling a different story.
One of the biggest stories this year has been former Packers’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers leaving for the Denver Broncos. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster ride for Green Bay fans, especially since they’ve been with Aaron for a long time. The news is bittersweet; they’re losing someone they love, but at the same time they’re hoping for the best for Aaron with his next team.
That said, the moves being made by the other teams have been super interesting too. With the Las Vegas Raiders snatching up both, offensive tackle Trent Brown and running back Kenyan Drake, they’re starting to really solidify their defense and offense – making them more competitive in the tough AFC West.
And if there’s one thing for sure, it’s that the Patriots are certainly looking to make some moves and make up for their season-difficulties in 2020. After all, they just signed their new quarterback, Cam Newton, and they’re also looking at defensive end Trey Hendrickson and tight end Jonnu Smith. While this move might not be monumental like Aaron Rodgers’, it’s still significant in the grand scheme of things.
Then, there’s the reigning champion – the Kansas City Chiefs – who have already been fairly busy as well. To add to their already strong offense, they got wide receiver Carl Ward and now have one of the best combinations of weapons in the league. Watching this team, it’s absolutely no surprise that they’ve conquered the last two Super Bowls.
But, there’s more than moves on the table for this year’s free agency. Teams also have the rare opportunity to sign a free agent without scrimping on their internal budget. This is a chance for teams to get the most valuable players for a more affordable rate – something which doesn’t come around very often.
Overall, I’m looking forward to seeing what the rest of this free agency brings. Who else will get snatched up? Who will make the best moves? All these possibilities have me eagerly on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what happens.
