As the NFL free agency window swings open, teams are poised to make strategic moves to bolster their rosters. This year, several standout players have emerged as top contenders in the market, each bringing a unique set of skills and potential to the table.
Myers, a model of consistency, has been a reliable presence, missing just one game over the past three seasons. His durability makes him an attractive option for teams seeking stability. Speed, on the other hand, showcased his defensive prowess last season, ranking fourth in the NFL with 9.5 tackles per game and recording seven tackles for loss.
Adebo's stock would have been higher if not for the unfortunate broken femur he suffered in Week 7. His talent, however, is undeniable. Meanwhile, Johnson's 2024 season was marred by a series of disappointing performances following his trade from the Panthers to the Ravens and Texans. His potential remains untapped.
Wilson demonstrated impressive capabilities during his 11 starts for the Steelers, completing 63.7% of his throws for 2,482 yards and 16 touchdowns. His QBR of 51.4 placed him 22nd among quarterbacks, indicating room for improvement.
In contrast, Greenlaw's season was cut short due to an Achilles tear in Super Bowl LVIII, limiting him to just two appearances. Golston seized his opportunity last season by playing a career-high 747 snaps, amassing 56 tackles and 5.5 sacks.
Ertz stood out with his receiving skills, catching 66 passes for 654 yards and seven touchdowns. His contributions were pivotal in Washington's postseason run to the NFC title game. Reddick, known for his quick first step and edge-bending ability, remains a scheme-specific pass rusher at 6-1 and 240 pounds.
Diggs' value took a hit due to an ACL injury that limited him to eight games last season. Slayton, despite facing subpar QB play, managed to catch 39 passes and average 14.2 yards per reception in 2024. Brown's late-season surge is likely to increase his market value.
Banks' season came to an untimely end due to an MCL injury in Week 13. Odeyingbo, however, has consistently performed over the past three seasons, playing all 17 games each year and accumulating 16 sacks and 21 total tackles for loss. His impressive stats include 233 tackles, five interceptions, and 12 pass breakups over the last two seasons.
