More than a week before the start of free agency, many top players have already re-signed or been tagged by their teams. The original top free agent, Chris Jones, re-signed with the Chiefs on a massive five-year deal, while eight others received the franchise tag.
Despite the flurry of activity, there are still plenty of top free agents available as teams gear up for the official start of free agency on March 13. Here are some of the top players available:
– Kirk Cousins: If the Vikings don’t bring him back, where will the 35-year-old quarterback end up next season?
– Christian Wilkins: The Dolphins defensive tackle had a career-best season last year and will be in high demand.
– Danielle Hunter: The four-time Pro Bowler is coming off a 16.5-sack season and remains a top pass rusher in the league.
– Leonard Williams: The former Giant and Seahawk has been a consistent pass rusher and could still provide value to a new team.
– Bryce Huff: The former undrafted free agent had a breakout season with 10 sacks and could be in line for a big payday.
– Kendall Fuller: The cornerback finished seventh among his position group in PFF grades last season and should receive interest from multiple teams.
– Jonathan Greenard: The Texans edge rusher had 12.5 sacks last season and will be looking for a lucrative deal in free agency.
– Kenneth Faried: The Giants didn’t tag him, but the 24-year-old safety is coming off a strong season and should have suitors in free agency.
The free-agent class this year may have been depleted by re-signings and franchise tags, but there are still plenty of impact players available. Teams with cap space will be looking to add talent to their rosters as the new league year approaches.
