The #Titans are signing Bobby Okereke to a 3-year, $45M deal, per sources.

The contract will make him the 3rd highest-paid linebacker in the NFL.

No way he's worth that! Also, it seems like the Titans and Raiders are trying win in March. They both will inevitably lose when the leaves begin to turn.

The Steelers will give up one of their 6th-round picks in exchange for Michael Pittman and the Colts' 7th rounder, according to league source(s). So, basically, a salary dump by the Colts, and the Steelers benefit tremendously from it.

This is fake news from a Troll / parody account on Twitter.

Okereke is still a free agent right now.

Interesting that Hendrickson has yet to sign. He’s obviously not getting the offers he thought he would.

Trey Hendrickson is seeking over $30 million per year, but no team showing interest is willing to offer that figure, per
@AdamSchefter
.

Hendrickson will not be able to fetch the same annual value the Panthers provided Jaelan Phillips.

Former Chiefs LB Leo Chenal is the top linebacker available in free agency:

- 6’3”, 250 lbs
- 25-years-old
- missed just two (!) tackles in 2024
- 44 starts during rookie contract
- 2x SB Champ

The #Colts are looking for youth at LB, and desperately need a championship mindset.

Yep...sign the man. Apparently he's pretty good in coverage. He's big, runs a 4.5 40 and he's a former Badger. What not to like?

The Phillips contract is a tad bit retarded. Not my money, but does a torn Achilles in '23 + Torn ACL in '24 + 14 QB hits in '25 = $120m?

Obviously it does, but shit.

He's 27 and the 18% pressure rate is elite. Makes a lot more sense to pay a 27 year old Jaelan Phillips coming off of a healthy season that kind of money than a 31 year old Trey Hendrickson coming off an injury shortened season.
