For the NFL, it's March 6th. Here's what's happening. The Green Bay Packers stick to a smart formula for free agent signings. They go after players on second contracts, who are 27 or younger, with the ideal build for their spot. These moves often fill gaps left by bus draft picks, or aging stars wrapping up in Green Bay. Sinners top the need list if current linemen like Elton Jenkins head out. Cade May stands out at 27, with solid pass blocking grades last season for the Panthers. He's versatile across the interior line, and carries the right size at over 6 foot 4 and 311 pounds. Defensive tackle gets tricky, with few young options available. Logan Hall fits as a 26 year old tweener after Kenny Clark's trade. He improves steadily, posting career highs and pressures and sacks, offering flexibility in the new coordinator's system. Edge rushers and linebackers could see action too, especially if for Sean Gary or Quay Walker Depart.

Joseph Ossai hit career bests and pressures at age 26, while Leo Chanel shines in run defense from his chief stays. Both bring youth and upside, without huge price tags. Cornerbacks round out the targets, with Jalen Watson providing steady coverage and size at 6 foot 2. At 28, he's consistent and tackles well. Cheaper picks like Monterey Brown also match the prototype, as free agency heats up next week. D&N is sponsored by our partner. Some travel miles to find peace. I just climb into bed and listen.
