Sam Darnold is generating a lot of talk. If he continues his current trajectory, he could be the top QB on the market. Imagine him hitting those numbers: 4,200 yards and 30 touchdowns in 2024. Teams needing a fresh start at quarterback will be watching him closely. And let’s not forget Russell Wilson. After his time in Pittsburgh, will he look for a new home? Could he be a veteran presence for a team like the Patriots or Titans? And then there is Justin Fields, his dual threat ability is something many teams find very valuable.
Wide Receiver Fireworks:
Tee Higgins, if he doesn’t sign a long-term deal with the Bengals, will be a hot commodity. Teams with cap space will be lining up. And Chris Godwin? He’s a proven playmaker, and if Tampa Bay’s cap situation forces their hand, he could be wearing a new jersey. Also, keep your eye on the cornerback market, with D.J. Reed and Charvarius Ward both being top tier players.
Storylines to Watch:
- Quarterback Moves: It’s easy to imagine a scenario where Darnold, Wilson, and Fields all find new teams. Will a team make a surprising move for a veteran?
- Cap Crunch: Teams like the Buccaneers and Bengals will have tough decisions to make.
- Free agency opening: Once march 12th hits, we will see where all the players land.
Other Notable Free Agents:
Safety Jevon Holland, pass rusher Baron Browning, and defensive lineman Sebastian Joseph-Day are also expected to be available.
Looking Ahead:
The 2025 free agency class has a mix of established stars and up-and-comers. Teams needing to fill key positions will need to be aggressive.
