Retained Free Agents

[Harry]

Looking only at UFAs here’s my keeper list & my max price (otherwise let them walk)
S = Starter, ST = Special Teams, B = Backup
White S $6 mil
Hernandez S $5 mil
Luketa B $1 mil
Gardeck B 3.5 mil
Beachum B $3 mil
Brewer ST $1 mil
Collier B $2 mil
Barton B $1.5 mil
Browning B $2 mil
Lopez B $1.5 mil
Blount ST $1 mil

White will get over $7 million a year. He's already making $5MM on a "prove it" deal. C'mon.

Evan Brown is the interesting question. Made $2.3 million on a one-year deal this year. Has two years' starting experience on a couple of pretty good rushing offenses. I think if you sign him to the Frojoldt contract you feel pretty good about your IDL depth and competition going into camp.

Fun Fact: Kelvin Beachum is the all-time leader in distributions from the NFL's performance based pay program.

Like this list and depth is so important. Wonder how much Beachum has left although he has done a great job filling in where required this season. Not an easy ask.

 

[Card'em]

My guess is that they resign Hernandez, assuming he recovers fully from his ACL surgery, and they let Evan Brown walk. Clearly, Adams is pegged to start at the other guard position in 2025.

They re-sign Brown (he's cheaper) and let Hernandez walk. (IMO)

I'd also move on from Gardeck & Beachum and make an offer to Hump as our swing tackle.

White is not strong in coverage. He’s a fit for this D, but not several others. Eagles wouldn’t pay him what Cards did playing same D.

I thought Brown was mediocre and wore down. I keep him but I want an impact G if I can get one. Beachum has been a great sign

Hump is getting starter money

Hump is getting starter money

It could very well be.

My offer would be for a year, which may allow him to establish his value in the marketplace.

In truth, I think that if Beachum is up to it, he'll be back.

Hernandez was a MCL, not ACL, which is easier to come back from. I also could not find anything that says it required surgery. He'll probably be 100% by OTAs.

Hopefully he doesn't try and play again this year though. 3 quarters of football knocked him out of 3 more games. He needs OTA, training camp and preseason to get his leg ready!

I would be happy with retaining these guys. A guy like Gardeck has shown a knack of getting to the qb and would be great depth coming in fresh late in the game.

Also contributes on special teams. He is a no-brainer at the right price if he is healthy.

Luketa B $1 mil
Gardeck B 3.5 mil
Browning B $2 mil

Those are the only ones I'd try to bring back. I wouldn't lose sleep losing 3 out of 5 of them though.
