Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST

[Chicagojk]

With the amount of money at stake on AD’s extension, an injury sure would apply maximum pressure on Dallas to take the best deal available, and trade AD someplace he can get his $275 million.

I never believed the $275 million.  That was all agent driven.  Fact, no one was going to give him $275 million extension before the latest injury.  Now?  I don't think any team touches extensions talks for at least a year and see how his health is.  He has 2.5 years left on his current deal.  He won't find extension talks from teams any time soon.
