On April 2nd, Kyler Murray and Daniel Jones, the top two quarterbacks from the 2019 draft, have taken some seriously wild turns. Murray got cut by the Cardinals and landed a 1-year, $1.3 million deal with the Vikings while the Cardinals still owe him. 36.8 million. Jones flopped with the Giants after a big extension. Tours Achilles then snagged a 2-year, $88 million packed with the Colts. These moves kick off our look at the best and worst values from 2026 free agency. On the bright side, the Buccaneers locked up tight-end K-Dotten for three years, $30 million, a steal for his blocking, and $500, receiving yards a season. The charges grabbed Senator Tyler Bayadaz on a three-year, $30 million deal, second best at a spot, and way cheaper than top options. Murray's Viking spot is perfect too, throwing to Justin Jefferson under coach Kevin O'Connell, letting him up for a rebound.

Two atagavai Loa's 1-year, $1.3 million Falcons, deals screams low-risk, high reward. He threw for a league high 4,624 yards in 2023 and could challenge Michael Penix Jr. or back him up. Cheap. Meanwhile, the Panthers signed tackle with Sheed Walker for 1-year, $4 million solid insurance if their starters knee-ax up. The worst deals start with Jones at the Colts, a desperate win now bet on an injury-prone quarterback who never strung together strong seasons. Why receiver Alec Pierce got 4 years, $114 million from Indy as their number one target after trading their other guy way. Too much for a deep-threat specialist averaging 21 yards a catch. Edge rushers Odafe Oway, 4 years 96 million with Washington and Boyet Mayfay, 3 years 60 million with Cincinnati, feel risky for. Inconsistent producers. This free agency class shows team swinging big or playing smart from bargain QB's rebooting

careers to overpaid edges and receivers. We'll see who cast in value and who got burned as the season unfolds. From around the league, powered by AI, this is NFL News Today, I'm Corey with the story.
