Bosa is a Defensive Rookie of the Year winner, a five-time Pro Bowler and a four-time double-digit sack player, but he has played in only four playoff games in his nine-year career. The 29-year-old deserves to play on a Super Bowl contender for the first time, and his personality would mesh well with Lions HC Dan Campbell’s.
Per ESPN’s Kris Rhim, “Bosa’s talent has never been questioned, and his last game as a Charger was the perfect reflection of that. Bosa had a team-high six pressures and a sack in the Chargers’ playoff loss to the Houston Texans.”
WR Chris Godwin: | Pittsburgh Steelers (2024 team: Buccaneers)
The Steelers have a dynamic deep threat on the outside in George Pickens, but they need a trusty possession receiver who can make tough catches on third downs. Pittsburgh is a great fit for the longtime Bucs star from a schematic perspective.
Tampa Bay, however, wants to keep him. “Hopefully, we can come to an agreement with him because Chris means the world to this organization,” Tampa Bay GM Jason Licht said at the NFL Scouting Combine.
DT Milton Williams: New England Patriots (2024 team: Eagles)
Williams is in a great position to cash in this offseason after a dominant performance in the Super Bowl, and no team has more cash to spend than the Patriots ($125M in cap space, per Spotrac). Being able to develop under new HC Mike Vrabel isn’t a bad sell, either.
Per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, “[Linebacker Zack] Baun was the Eagles’ free-agent priority. Meanwhile, the feeling in league circles is that Milton Williams and [edge-rusher] Josh Sweat will both hit free agency.”
Edge Khalil Mack: Buffalo Bills (2024 team: Chargers)
Mack (107.5 career sacks) is in a similar boat as Bosa in that he’s never played for a true Super Bowl contender. Why not chase a ring where he played his college ball at the University at Buffalo?
His current team, however, may also be a suitor. Per ESPN’s Rhim, “The Chargers have made it no secret that their top priority this offseason is to re-sign Mack.”
“Pay the man, Joe. Pay the man. Let’s get him back,” Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said while sitting next to Los Angeles GM Joe Hortiz on “The Pat McAfee Show” at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley: New England Patriots (2024 team: Ravens)
Returning to the Ravens might be the best option for Stanley from a competitive standpoint, but Baltimore can’t match what New England can offer him. Stanley could cash in big time and fill a huge need with the Patriots.
Wrote ESPN’s Mike Reiss about the Patriots, “Offensive line play wasn’t good enough last year. Defensive line play wasn’t good enough last year. And they’re bullish on fixing it, because they believe that’s where games are won.”
QB Sam Darnold: Las Vegas Raiders (2024 team: Vikings)
