Relevant to the consensus board war of 2026! The only 1st round reach of the last 5 years who has had their 5th year option picked up is Tyler Smith (athough I think there's a good chance Jets pick up McDonald's.)

I think 2021 is right there with 2011. Chase, Sewell, Parsons+Surtain are all top 3 at their position and probably on Hall-of-Fame trajectory. Plus Waddle, Smith, Slater, Darrisaw, Jaelan Phillips+Jaycee Horn all Pro bowl caliber players

This is something Robert Mays has mentioned a couple of times on the Athletic Football Show and I 1000% agree with. If you bake in you're going to have to overpay in free agency, you're much better off giving great players elite player money than average players great player $

NFL schedule release day-which seems to strongly imply the Bears are getting the season opener. Which means we don't have to wait as long for the Bears season to begin!
