Welcome to Landry Football Podcast Network

Spring practices are kicking off around the ACC, and we’ve tapped insider sources for information on rising stars around the conference. The offseason has already uncovered impact transfers, star freshmen and veteran players poised to breakout this fall. We’ve highlighted eight worth keeping your eye on ahead of the 2024 college football season.

These rising stars will factor into their teams’ race for the ACC championship. It will be a new-look conference next season in more ways than one. A year after debuting a division-less format, the conference added three new programs in Cal, Stanford, and SMU, bringing the total number of member schools to 17.

We’ve already projected the ACC’s way-too-early order of finish and final records for the 2024 season and have reached out to team sources to help predict who every team’s starting quarterback will be this fall.

Below is a look at the ACC’s potential rising stars this spring.

General manager Ryan Poles took a big swing in the trade market to get the Chicago Bears an established veteran at a premium position.

The Bears sent a fourth-round pick — No. 110 — to the Los Angeles Chargers for wide receiver Keenan Allen on Thursday night. The 31-year-old had 108 catches for 1,243 yards and seven touchdowns in 13 games last season and made his sixth Pro Bowl.

Allen steps in as a starting receiver alongside DJ Moore and immediately eliminates the pressing need at the position. For now.

The 2024 season is the final one in Allen’s contract. He rejected an offer to take a pay cut from the team that drafted him in 2013 and will now play on a new team for the first time in his NFL career.

We’ve completed four days of NFL free agency, and nearly 100 of my top 150 players have come off the board, in addition to dozens of other signings and a handful of trades. Here are my biggest takeaways from the first week of the new league year.

Money can fly around during the first days of free agency. With a jump in the salary cap, there can be some unexpected bumps in salaries. Nowhere was that more apparent than at guard. Almost half of the guard contracts in the league, which average $10 million or more, were signed this week.

This might not be a surprise given that, before free agency started, guards had one of the highest growth rates of the top-five contracts among offensive positions over the past decade.

It makes sense that right tackles and guards would start to catch up with left tackles as teams continue to emphasize the offensive line value.

The first few days of free agency have been hectic. Now more than ever, NFL teams are taking advantage of the legal tampering period and getting most of their work done early in the free agency window.

Teams finalized multiple monster deals and team-altering trades over the past few days. Some roster needs have dramatically changed as organizations approach the 2024 NFL Draft. We’re looking at some of the most significant moves in the first few days of NFL Free Agency and exploring their impact on the draft.

The first wave of the 2024 NFL free agency period was a doozy. Three players landed nine-figure deals, some of the league's best running backs joined rivals, and up-and-comers aggressively spent on upgrades. Along the way, it's clear who the NFL's biggest winners and losers are thus far.

Of course, the first few days of free agency can be fool's gold. In two years, most of these deals will see the guaranteed money expire, and the market will be again flooded with some of the same names. The cycle of chasing top free agents can be most fulfilling at the moment or prove to reshape a team's short-term future if a signing hits.

So, who has won or lost the first wave of free agency?

The start of the 2024 NFL free agency period has been as entertaining as anyone could've hoped. After a substantial cap-space spike, the league is flush with money, so a relatively weak crop of veterans quickly landed market-resetting deals. Several guards and running backs cashed in quickly.

Kirk Cousins, Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs and other key names found new homes, so we're looking at the most surprising contracts from Monday. Only some big deals on Day 1 of free agency were bad, so let's dive into the seven significant agreements.
