Top Free Agents: Get to know the best players on the market at every position
With free agency set to begin on March 10, theScore has put together lists of the best players available at each position.
Find out who the top free agents on the market are, as well as the teams that may be interested in their services.
Skill Players
The wide receiver, running back and tight end pools are particularly deep this offseason, with several impact players available at each position. Quarterback is a little murkier, however, with stable veterans galore, but very few high-impact players.
- Sanchez, Locker among veteran quarterbacks available
- DeMarco Murray the lone star in running back class
- Randall Cobb leads strong group of receivers
- Julius Thomas, Jordan Cameron lead tight ends
Defensive Standouts
There are several available corners who have been productive over the past few seasons, but the group lacks a No. 1 option. With the franchise tag applied to Justin Houston, Jerry Hughes and Greg Hardy are the top players off the edge. There are inside linebackers with some upside, but who carry a lot of risk.
- Rolando McClain, Brandon Marshall headline weak linebacker class
- Maxwell, McCourty lead list of available cornerbacks, safeties
- Hughes, Hardy atop strong class of edge defenders
Men in the Trenches
Ndamukong Suh will dominate the headlines in the trenches, but there are several less expensive veteran options like Terrance Knighton and Henry Melton. Offensive line is one of the weaker free-agent groups and most teams will need to address these positions in the draft or through roster promotion.
