Center market explodes as free agency reshapes the NFL landscape

Week one of NFL free agency swung the league with Tyler Linderbaum’s $81-million, three-year deal redefining center pay, while the Raiders’ spending spree foreshadowed a new baseline for top linemen. The Rams used aggressive moves to fortify their defense—trading for Trent McDuffie and signing Jaylen Watson—helping position Los Angeles as early title contenders. The 49ers stacked talent on both sides of the ball with Odafe Odighizuwa and Mike Evans, and Kansas City added Kenneth Walker III to boost the run game, though questions linger about defense after some key departures. Cowboys had a rocky start with controversial trades, while the Vikings/Cardinals and several others experimented with youth and veteran blends (Commanders going young; Jets adding steadiness; Browns bolstering the OL; Colts overpaying for Daniel Jones). In short, the week’s moves created a mix of big-payroll pivots, risky gambles, and reshaped rosters across the league.

Manning Family Likely to Shield Arch Manning From Jets, Francesa Claims

Jets are favored to land the No. 1 pick in the 2027 NFL Draft after free agency, with Arch Manning as a top prospect. New OutKick piece reports Mike Francesa believes the Manning family will not let Arch play for the Jets, citing the Mannings’ history with Eli and a past Chargers-to-Giants trade influence; he says they’ll “manipulate the draft.” The column notes the Jets’ chaotic reputation and even suggests Arch could opt to return to college to avoid the Jets, while acknowledging Arch’s improving draft stock and the wider 2027 QB dialogue.

Francesa: Mannings Won’t Let Arch Manning End Up With the Jets

Sports radio host Mike Francesa claims the Manning family will block Arch Manning from joining the New York Jets, suggesting he’ll be the top pick but won’t land with the Jets as the Mannings steer his path for the best fit; the Jets’ QB situation (Geno Smith) and draft dynamics could still shape where Arch lands, echoing past moves by Eli and Peyton.

Chamblee pins Scheffler's swing woes on a shorter backswing and open face

Brandel Chamblee argues Scottie Scheffler’s struggles at The Players stem from a noticeably shortened backswing with a wide-open clubface, leaving the clubhead stuck behind on the downswing. This, along with a cupped left wrist, is cited as the root cause of his errant driving and weaker approach play, even as his putting was the round’s bright spot after a 72 in Round 1 at Sawgrass.
