I guess activate would not be the correct word there. Exercise seems correct. The Colts will not exercise their fifth year option in Anthony Richardson's contract. Carolina will exercise Brye Young's fifth year option and pay him around $26 million I think I recall reading. It will be interesting to confirm that in the coming days when I am no longer chemically altered.
NFL '26 Season Thread

The rich get richer..
Seahawks signed EDGE Dante Fowler, Jr., formerly of the Cowboys.
Fowler, who has bounced around the league in recent years, had 10.5 sacks just two years ago with the Commanders and will now join a Seattle defense that last season pressured the passer at one of the league’s highest rates. Fowler, 31, will likely play on a prove-it deal with the Super Bowl champs in 2026. He could be used in a rotational role in the Seahawks’ loaded front seven. Fowler has 58.5 sacks over 159 NFL games.

Still no Deebo Samuels signing..
Vikings signed WR Jauan Jennings, formerly of the 49ers, to a one-year, $13 million contract.
The deal includes an $8 million base salary. Jennings can make an extra $5 million via incentives. This will be Jennings’ first time playing for a team other than the 49ers, who drafted him in the 2020 NFL Draft’s seventh round. Jennings, 28, caught 55 passes for 643 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns last year. He should start in three-wide receiver sets alongside Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Jefferson will rarely leave the field, but one wonders if Jennings (6'3/212) might be able to steal snaps from Addison (5'11/175) in two-wide receiver sets, in part due to Jennings’ run-blocking ability. Addison, 24, is the more talented receiver, so we expect him to remain the No. 2 target earner, but this dynamic is worth keeping an eye on in training camp. For now, Jennings can be viewed as a WR4/FLEX, while Jefferson sits in the WR1 tier and Addison in the WR2/3 range.

We are now in the dead zone between the Draft and training camp. It is a time boundless optimism. Everything is going to work out. The free agents to whom Carolina paid millions of dollars will be All-Pros, draft picks will exceed their rounds and Bryce Young has figured things out and looks like Mahomes out there. I meet a beautiful woman who falls madly in love with me. Since meeting her, I am not depressed so I get promoted at work to something which pays alot of money while I use THC and make love with the previously mentioned beautiful woman. That's what makes this time of year so magical for us fans.
I miss football.
