2025 NFL Free Agency is HERE
We'll tape a Substack Live on Monday AM. Follow Go Long for full analysis all week long.
D.K. Metcalf is heading to the Pittsburgh Steelers to sign a fat five-year, $150 million contract. Will Sam Darnold follow?
Myles Garrett is the richest non-QB in NFL history at $40 million per year. At least until the Cincinnati Bengals get around to paying Ja’Marr Chase, right? The Cleveland Browns apparently do not want to tear it all down.
Davante Adams did the right thing in choosing to play with one of the game’s best quarterbacks to cap his career — Matthew Stafford in Los Angeles. Not his old pal looking for a new home.
And kudos to owner Terry Pegula and the Buffalo Bills for doing the right thing in giving MVP quarterback Josh Allen a massive raise. He’s the one who makes everything go at One Bills Drive. GM Brandon Beane wasted no time locking up a core of players — Khalil Shakir, Terrel Bernard, Greg Rousseau — with a year still left of their contracts.
This promises to be a very busy week in professional football. “Legal tampering” begins Monday, so the deals will be flyin.’
We’ve got a profile of Cincinnati Bengals OC Dan Pitcher live at the site, a Bengals pod and a column on the Minnesota Vikings’ new direction at quarterback.
Paid subscribers can expect a stream of columns throughout the week reacting to all news. Later this week, I’ll catch up again with former NFL QB Shaun King to get his unfiltered opinion on all quarterback movement. You may recall that he doesn’t hold back. Next week, Pro Football Hall of Famer LeRoy Butler will join the Go Long Podcast.
This Monday morning at 8:30 a.m., I’ll also host a Substack Live inside the app.
Bring any and all questions.
You can join us right on your phone. Thanks, all.
DK and Pickens.
That's the most athletically gifted duo in the NFL with the possible exception of Chase and Higgins.
But also the biggest pain in the ass WR room.
Rooting for my NYG to sign Sam Darnold and draft Hunter, dare to dream!
