Alright, Tier 4 time. Spots where I do not expect any moves: DE, QB, PK, and LS.
11. Defensive End
A. Signed
Player: Cap; Dead Cap, FA Yr, PFF L3, 2023 Snaps
1. Hendrickson, $20,166,666; $7,833,334; '26; 82.3/85.0/72.4, 744 D + 5 ST
2. Hubbard: $10,150,000; $4,000,000; '26; 61.9/72.4/64.3, 714 D + 6 ST
--------------Starter Line-----------
3. Murphy: $2,860,741; $10,298,689; '27/'28, 56.2/x/x, 305 D + 88 ST
4. C. Sample (DE/DT): $1,252,036; $197,036; '25; 61.6/58.0/52.1, 376 D + 146 ST
5. Ossai: $1,652,196; $284,112; '25; 68.4/55.3/x, 177 D + 7 ST
-----------Future's/PS Line---------
6. Gunter: $915,000, $0, '25; x/42.5/x, Zero
B. Unsigned: None
C. Analysis
Everyone is signed. Trey through '25 and is playing at an all-pro level. Hubbard played injured last year but the staff love the guy & expect him to bounce back. We just spent a 1st on Murphy & knew he was raw. He improved as the season went on. Those three are locked in as the top 3 DEs. And pretty much preclude a major DE FA move or high pick.
You never know, though. It IS a premium position. If we trade down & get an extra pick? And really love a guy? I still doubt it. Sample is solid and can play inside some. We were all hoping for Ossai to breakout but an injury kind of derailed him. But both are in their last contract years.
Gunter made the 53 in 2022 and is still in the PS. He did block a FG that year.
I think we stand pat here. FA & draft.
