2026 NFL Season Thread

from an article today on how teams have done after the first week of free agency:

Green Bay Packers​

The Packers let several players depart this offseason, seemingly because they were aging out of their current roster build, the team did not want to or could not commit finances, or the players had injury or fit questions. They kept center Sean Rhyan in an apparent decision between him and the more veteran Elgton Jenkins (center/guard). They made the necessary move off of Rashan Gary’s contract by trading him to Dallas. They still need offensive line depth, but this offseason had the feel of a small pruning here, a tweak there, while welcoming a reported four compensatory picks for players who signed elsewhere.

Most interesting move: Trading a young defensive tackle (Colby Wooden) for 29-year-old linebacker Zaire Franklin, a team captain who has familiarity with new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon but had a down year in 2025.

If their contract expires can't the NFL just hire replacements if the refs union refuses to bargin in good faith?

From what it sounds like the owners want to have the refs held more accountable and the refs are not willing to accept that as part of new deal. What job will allow you to screw up but not get punished for it?
