2021 NFL Free Agency Rankings: Dak Prescott, Allen Robinson lead talented class
Sheil Kapadia 3h ago
Where do Dak Prescott, Chris Godwin, Allen Robinson, Leonard Williams, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Kenny Golladay and Trent Williams rank among the top 50 pending unrestricted free agents? Glad you asked.
The list will be updated in the weeks ahead as players are re-signed, released and tagged. The age in parentheses indicates how old the player will be at the start of the 2021 season.
1. Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys (28)
Prescott has completed 66 percent of his passes, averaged 7.7 yards per attempt (YPA) and thrown 106 touchdown passes with 40 interceptions in his career. If we want to go to advanced stats, he’s averaged 0.14 Expected Points Added (EPA) per play over the last three years, according to TruMedia’s model. That ranks ninth out of 44 quarterbacks. Prescott is coming off of a serious ankle injury but didn’t miss a game in his first four seasons. There’s pretty much no scenario where he enters the free-agent market, but Prescott tops the list because technically his contract is due to expire. The Cowboys have four options:
Sign Prescott long term.
Use the franchise tag for the second time and keep him.
Use the franchise tag for the second time and trade him.
Let him walk in free agency.
Signing Prescott long term would be ideal, but the Cowboys have had the opportunity to make that happen in the last two offseasons and have failed to get it done. Keeping him on the franchise tag is risky: One, because it will cost roughly $37 million — both in cash and cap — in 2021; and two, it would all but guarantee that Prescott could hit the open market in 2022. Bottom line: The Cowboys need to make a decision this offseason. Either sign Prescott long term, or see what the options look like for a tag and trade.
2. Allen Robinson, WR, Bears (28)
Teams in need of help at wide receiver are in luck. This free-agent class is loaded with pass-catchers. And Robinson figures to be near the top of the list for most teams.
His talent is obvious, but Robinson has been victimized by bad quarterback play since signing with the Bears in 2018. He now could get another chance to test the market. Robinson’s 2,397 receiving yards over the last two seasons ranks third among wide receivers, behind only Stefon Diggs and DeAndre Hopkins. He’s a legit outside No. 1 wide receiver who would fit pretty much any scheme.
It would be no surprise to see Robinson command $19 or $20 million per season on the open market. That’s what Keenan Allen got on his extension with the Chargers and what Amari Cooper re-signed for last offseason. The Bears have the option to use the franchise tag on Robinson — either to keep him or try to trade him.
3. Chris Godwin, WR, Buccaneers (25)
Godwin has a case to be the highest-paid wide receiver in the group. He is a complete player who can win at all levels and play outside or in the slot. Godwin was prolific in 2019 with 86 catches for 1,333 yards and nine touchdowns. He battled injuries this season but still caught 65 balls for 840 yards and seven touchdowns in 12 regular-season games. The floor for Godwin is probably what Robert Woods got ($16.25 million annually), and Godwin could very well find a $20 million per year deal on the open market.
4. Justin Simmons, S, Broncos (27)
The Broncos used the franchise tag on Simmons last offseason, and he responded by earning a Pro Bowl bid. Simmons is the type of young difference-maker the Broncos should be looking to build around. He’s been the team’s Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee for two consecutive years and hasn’t missed a game in the last three seasons. Given his age and production, Simmons could very well set the top of the safety market. That would mean surpassing Budda Baker’s four-year, $59 million deal ($14.75 million annually).
5. Leonard Williams, DL, Giants (27)
The Giants sent a pair of draft picks to the Jets to acquire Williams in 2019 and then used the franchise tag on him. Williams turned in a career year in 2020 with 11.5 sacks (seventh league-wide) and 30 quarterback hits (third). Teams could view him as a player who is finally playing to his potential and entering his prime. Williams’ stock is higher than it would have been last offseason. He could land somewhere in the range of Kenny Clark’s deal (four years, $70 million) and DeForest Buckner’s deal (four years, $84 million). The Giants also have the option of using the franchise tag on him a second time, which would mean paying Williams roughly $19 million on a one-year deal for 2021.
6. Trent Williams, OT, 49ers (33)
After missing all of 2019, Williams was traded to the 49ers and played at a high level. He finished fourth among tackles in ESPN’s pass-block win rate and made the Pro Bowl. Williams is on the wrong side of 30, but left tackles of his caliber are hard to find, and he should still have plenty of suitors if he hits the open market. David Bakhtiari ($23 million per year) is currently the NFL’s top-paid tackle. The floor for a Williams deal could be the contract ($17 million per year) Garrett Bolles signed with the Broncos. One important note: As part of Williams’ restructured deal with San Francisco, the 49ers can’t use the franchise tag on him.
7. Yannick Ngakoue, Edge, Ravens (26)
He has had eight sacks or more in each of his first five seasons and has missed just two games in his career. That production and durability should get Ngakoue paid, especially given how young he is.
The Jaguars used the franchise tag on Ngakoue last offseason and then traded him to the Vikings. He played six games in Minnesota and then was dealt to Baltimore, where Ngakoue had his moments but was not a consistent difference-maker. The Ravens had him on the field for just 42 percent of the snaps and 36 percent of the snaps, respectively, in their two playoff games. Over the last five years, Ngakoue’s 45.5 sacks rank 12th, and his 95 QB hits rank tied for 14th. The Ravens can sign him to an extension, tag him again and keep him, tag and trade him or let him walk in free agency for a potential compensatory pick. Arik Armstead signed with the 49ers for $17 million per year last offseason, and Demarcus Lawrence got $21 million per year from the Cowboys. That’s likely the range that Ngakoue would be looking at on the open market.
8. Kenny Golladay, WR, Lions (27)
Golladay played in only five games last season because of a hip injury, but he’s been a difference-making receiver when he’s on the field. Golladay’s 2,253 yards across 2018 and 2019 ranked ninth among all wide receivers. He’s averaged 16.8 yards per reception for his career and is a terrific downfield threat who knows how to use his size to out-muscle opponents. As long as there are no lingering questions about Golladay’s hip injury, he should be in line to land a deal between $17 and $20 million per year.
9. Brandon Scherff, OG, Washington (29)
Washington used the franchise tag to keep Scherff last offseason. He made his fourth Pro Bowl, ranking fourth among guards in ESPN’s pass-block win rate metric. The only question with Scherff is durability. He missed three games in 2020, five in 2019 and eight in 2018. But given how well he’s played when healthy, Scherff could become the NFL’s highest-paid guard and find a deal worth $15 million per year.
Shaquil Barrett (Matthew Emmons / USA Today)
10. Shaquil Barrett, Edge, Buccaneers (28)
He was dominant during the Bucs’ Super Bowl run with four sacks and eight quarterback hits in Tampa’s last two games. Barrett was a monster in 2019 (19.5 sacks, 37 QB hits and six forced fumbles), and the Bucs used the franchise tag to retain him. His regular-season numbers (eight sacks, 16 QB hits) weren’t as impressive in 2020, but he made his mark in the playoffs. The Buccaneers will have to decide whether to again use the franchise tag on Barrett, sign him to a long-term extension or let him walk in free agency.
11. JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, Steelers (24)
He came into the league at a young age and is set to enter free agency at just 24. Smith-Schuster was hurt by terrible quarterback play in 2019 but bounced back with 97 catches for 831 yards and nine touchdowns in 2020. He is a great option to work the middle, intermediate part of the field and brings a toughness that teams will find appealing. Players like Robert Woods, Adam Thielen and Cooper Kupp are in the neighborhood of $16 million per year. That seems like a reasonable floor for any potential deal with Smith-Schuster.
12. Bud Dupree, Edge, Steelers (28)
The Steelers used the franchise tag on him last offseason, and Dupree was playing at a high level before tearing an ACL in December, with eight sacks and 15 quarterback hits in 11 games. In 2019, he had 11.5 sacks and 17 quarterback hits. Intel on Dupree’s knee injury will obviously be key, but it’s relatively common now for players to return to full strength after ACL injuries. It’s possible that Dupree settles for a one-year deal and then tries to cash in next offseason. But given his age, production and versatility, it would be no surprise to see Dupree land a long-term deal that pays him north of $15 million per year.
13. Matt Judon, Edge, Ravens (29)
The Ravens used the franchise tag on Judon last offseason. He produced just six sacks, but his 21 QB hits were tied for 11th most in the league. Judon hit the quarterback on 8.5 percent of his pass-rush opportunities, which ranked third behind only T.J. Watt and Joey Bosa. Using the franchise tag again on Judon would cost north of $20 million. The Ravens could be forced to choose between Ngakoue and Judon, and it’s possible that they lose both players this offseason.
14. Aaron Jones, RB, Packers (26)
With 3,017 yards from scrimmage since the start of 2019 (fifth league-wide among running backs), Jones has been one of the NFL’s best all-around backs over the past two seasons. Aside from his talent and production, the case for signing Jones would be that he hasn’t had to carry a heavy workload in his first four seasons. In the last year, Dalvin Cook, Derrick Henry and Joe Mixon have signed deals between $12 million and $13 million per year. That could be the range Jones is looking for.
15. Lavonte David, LB, Buccaneers (31)
He was a key cog on one of the NFL’s best defenses and added a Super Bowl ring to an already impressive resume. David is on the wrong side of 30, but he has been durable and productive throughout his nine-year career. Since David entered the league in 2012, only Bobby Wagner has produced more tackles. David played at a high level in 2020 and will interest teams that are looking for a veteran leader and a three-down linebacker.
16. Corey Linsley, OC, Packers (30)
He’s started 99 games in seven seasons for the Packers and was named a first-team All-Pro in 2020. Linsley ranked fifth among centers in pass-block win rate. He will be the top option for teams in the market for a veteran center. Ryan Kelly signed a four-year, $49.65 million deal ($12.4 million per year) with the Colts in September. That could be a good comp for what Linsley commands on the open market.
17. Leonard Floyd, Edge, Rams (29)
The change of scenery served him well. The Bears released Floyd, and the Rams signed him to a one-year, $10 million deal. Floyd finished ninth in the league with 10.5 sacks and tied for 19th with 19 QB hits. He played 90 percent of the snaps and has not missed a game in the past three years.
18. Taylor Moton, OT, Panthers (27)
There’s a lot to like about Moton. He’s never missed a game and has been a rock-solid right tackle for Carolina. Ja’Wuan James got a four-year, $51 million deal with the Broncos in 2019, and Jack Conklin signed a three-year, $42 million deal with the Browns last offseason. Moton will likely be looking to get a deal in that range.
19. Joe Thuney, OG, Patriots (28)
The Patriots surprisingly used the franchise tag on Thuney last offseason. He’s started 80 consecutive games and been a solid, steady player. Thuney will likely be one of the top available guards on the market and could find a deal in the range of $14 million per year.
20. Corey Davis, WR, Titans (26)
He picked the right time to have a career year. Davis had 65 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns in 14 games in 2020. He hasn’t lived up to his draft slot (he was taken fifth in 2017), and the Titans declined his fifth-year option, but Davis is still young and offers the floor of a No. 2 wide receiver. Teams could talk themselves into him having a No. 1 wide receiver ceiling. The advanced numbers are kind to Davis. He averaged 2.73 yards per route run in the regular season, which ranked eighth among 276 qualifying players.
21. Matt Milano, LB, Bills (27)
He’s a true three-down linebacker whose skill set should fit any scheme. Milano is coming off of an injury-riddled 2020 when he started five regular-season games and played 30 percent of the defensive snaps, but durability had not been a major issue previously. Based on recent deals signed by guys like Cory Littleton and Zach Cunningham, Milano seems likely to command between $12 million and $14 million per year.
22. William Jackson III, CB, Bengals (28)
It’s not an especially strong group of cornerback free agents, which could be good news for Jackson. He hasn’t been a shutdown, Pro Bowl-caliber player and has just three interceptions in 59 career games, but Jackson has played well. He’s a talented cover corner, and there’s always a market for those guys.
23. Shaquill Griffin, CB, Seahawks (26)
He’s been a four-year starter since Seattle selected him in the third round in 2017. Griffin has speed and length and should be able to fit any defensive scheme. He missed four games this season with injuries, but durability has not been a long-term issue. It would be no surprise to see a team project that Griffin’s best days are still ahead of him. He should be among the highest-paid corners in this free-agent class.
24. Carl Lawson, Edge, Bengals (26)
He’s another player who made the most out of his contract year. Lawson had just 5.5 sacks, but his 32 QB hits ranked second to only Watt. Some teams may view Lawson more as a rotational pass rusher than an every-down player, although he played a career-high 68 percent of the defensive snaps in 2020 and has been consistently productive. Lawson’s 83 QB hits over the past four seasons are tied for 11th league-wide.
25. Marcus Maye, S, Jets (28)
He was one of the few bright spots for the Jets in 2020. Maye could be a nice free safety option in Robert Saleh’s defensive scheme. He hasn’t missed a start in the past two years and played 100 percent of the snaps last season. If the Jets don’t re-sign him before he hits the market, Maye should have plenty of suitors.
26. John Johnson, S, Rams (25)
He was limited to six games due to an injury in 2019 but came back strong and played 100 percent of the Rams’ defensive snaps. Johnson has been used more as a strong safety but can play deep in split-safety looks. He’s young and has the intangibles teams will find attractive.
27. Trey Hendrickson, Edge, Saints (26)
He made the most of his contract year, finishing second league-wide with 13.5 sacks and tied for eighth with 25 quarterback hits. Hendrickson had never played more than 38 percent of the defensive snaps in a season prior to 2020, when he was on the field 53 percent of the time. Teams will have to weigh his 2020 production against previous years to determine whether Hendrickson is a one-year wonder or an ascending player. He had 6.5 sacks and 18 QB hits during his first three seasons.
28. Haason Reddick, Edge/LB, Cardinals (27)
He had a big second half of the season and finished with 12.5 sacks, which was tied for fourth league-wide. Reddick’s role in Arizona has changed about 400 times in four seasons, but he has shown pass-rushing chops. He’s a hybrid-type player who could be really fun with the right defensive coordinator.
29. Will Fuller, WR, Texans (27)
The question with Fuller has never been talent but durability. He missed 22 games in his first four seasons. Fuller was turning in a career year through 11 games in 2020 but was suspended for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drugs policy. He had 53 catches for 879 yards and eight touchdowns. Fuller is the type of vertical field-stretcher that teams covet. He’ll be a boom-or-bust free agent.
30. Marcus Williams, S, Saints (25)
Williams is young and durable. He’s missed just four games in four seasons and played well in 2020. Williams should be among the more attractive starting-caliber free safety options available on the open market.
31. Anthony Harris, S, Vikings (29)
The Vikings surprisingly tagged him last offseason, and Harris had an up-and-down 2020 while adjusting his role and responsibilities to account for Minnesota’s young and inexperienced cornerbacks. He should still be an attractive option for teams in need of a reliable, rangy free safety who can make plays on the ball.
32. Nelson Agholor, WR, Raiders (28)
After a disappointing 2019 with the Eagles, Agholor settled for a one-year, $1.05 million deal with the Raiders. He made the most of his opportunity, catching 48 balls for 896 yards and averaging 18.7 yards per reception. He should have a much different market this time around.
33. Curtis Samuel, WR, Panthers (25)
Coaches often fall in love with players like Samuel, who can offer speed and versatility. Samuel set career highs with 77 catches for 851 yards in 2020, and he was much more efficient than he had been previously, catching 79.4 percent of his targets. The Panthers used Samuel as a ballcarrier, too — he had 41 carries for 200 yards. With the right offensive coach, Samuel is a really fun player. With the wrong one, he could be a bust. But he produced his career season at the perfect time to get paid and is one of the youngest players on this list.
34. Hunter Henry, TE, Chargers (26)
The Chargers tagged Henry last offseason. He finished the year with 613 receiving yards — 12th among tight ends. Henry averaged 1.35 yards per route run, which ranked 31st among tight ends. Austin Hooper got a four-year, $42 million deal last offseason. Given how young Henry is, he could be in line for a similar deal if a team thinks his best football is still ahead of him.
35. Jonnu Smith, TE, Titans (26)
He’s a good example of how teams might be willing to pay for future projection over past performance. Smith has made a lot of big plays, but his career high for receiving yards in a season — set this year — is 448. Smith also set a career high with eight touchdowns in 2020. His talent is obvious, and teams could view Smith as a player who could put up big numbers if given more opportunities in a pass-heavy offense.
36. Dalvin Tomlinson, DT, Giants (27)
He’s started 64 games in four seasons and has been a steady presence on the Giants’ defensive line. Tomlinson has seven sacks and 19 quarterback hits over the past two seasons. He’ll be a nice option for teams in the market for a run-stopping defensive tackle, and some may view Tomlinson as a player with pass-rushing upside. D.J. Reader got a four-year $53 million deal from the Cincinnati Bengals last offseason. That’s probably the ceiling for a potential Tomlinson contract.
37. Justin Houston, Edge, Colts (32)
He’s on the wrong side of 30, but Houston continues to produce. He was eighth among edge defenders in pass-rush win rate and had eight sacks to go along with 12 QB hits. Houston signed a two-year, $23 million contract with the Colts in 2019. It’s possible he finds a similar deal on the open market.
38. Melvin Ingram, Edge, Chargers (32)
It was a tough contract year for Ingram. He appeared in seven games before heading to injured reserve with a knee injury. Ingram has had a very good career, but he finished 2020 with no sacks and four QB hits. If healthy, Ingram is a disruptive player and a versatile pass rusher capable of lining up in different spots. His market will likely come down to whether teams are confident he can bounce back from the injury.
39. Romeo Okwara, Edge, Lions (26)
He made the most of his contract year. Okwara finished 10th with 10 sacks and tied for 22nd with 18 QB hits. However, teams will have to balance that production with Okwara’s first four seasons, when he totaled 10 sacks in 51 games. He’s one of the trickier players to project on this list, but given Okwara’s age, there’s reason to think he could be an ascending player.
40. Alejandro Villanueva, OT, Steelers (33)
There’s always a market for starting-caliber left tackles. Villanueva didn’t become a starter until he was 27. He’s never missed a game and is a two-time Pro Bowler, although 2020 was not his best season. Given Villanueva’s age, teams may view him as a declining player, but he plays a premium position. The two-year, $33 million deal that Anthony Castonzo signed last offseason is probably the ceiling for what Villanueva could land.
41. T.Y. Hilton, WR, Colts (31)
He started off slow but came on strong in the second half of the season and finished with 56 catches for 762 yards and five touchdowns. Just two years ago, Hilton totaled 1,270 yards with Andrew Luck as his quarterback. He’s older than the other receivers on this list but should still have at least a couple of years left as a starting-caliber player. If a team needs wide receiver help but doesn’t have the cap space to target the top of the market, Hilton at around $9 million per year could make sense.
42. Jadeveon Clowney, Edge, Titans (28)
He was searching for a big payday last offseason but didn’t find it and had to settle for a one-year, $13 million deal with the Titans. Now Clowney’s stock is likely to be significantly lower. He failed to notch a single sack in eight games and then underwent season-ending knee surgery. Clowney might have a hard time finding the deal he’s looking for once again this offseason.
43. Richard Sherman, CB, 49ers (33)
He’s a tough player to slot. Sherman will be 33 at the start of next season and appeared in only five games in 2020 because of injury. He was 30 when he signed with the 49ers in 2018 and delivered two great years, making the Pro Bowl in 2019. If healthy, Sherman can still be effective. But given his age, he might be looking at another incentive-laden deal or a one-year contract.
44. Rob Gronkowski, TE, Buccaneers (32)
He returned to action in 2020 after a one-year hiatus and started every game, playing 75 percent of the Bucs’ offensive snaps. Gronkowski was outstanding as a blocker and showed he can still be effective as a receiver, catching 45 balls for 623 yards and seven touchdowns. It’s hard to picture him catching passes from anyone other than Tom Brady, but Gronkowski should draw interest if he wants to look elsewhere.
45. Patrick Peterson, CB, Cardinals (31)
He’s another tough player to slot. Peterson was suspended for six games in 2019 for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drugs policy. He played 99 percent of the Cardinals’ defensive snaps in 2020 but looked like a declining player. Peterson has put together a Hall of Fame-caliber resume and, at his best, is an elite man corner. But his best days are behind him, and interested teams will have to determine how much to invest in Peterson at this stage of his career.
46. Cam Robinson, OT, Jaguars (25)
He’s been Jacksonville’s left tackle with 47 starts over the past four seasons. Robinson has been OK, not great, but competent 25-year-old left tackles generally get paid in free agency.
47. Michael Davis, CB, Chargers (26)
After originally signing with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2017, Davis has developed into a quality starting corner. He has size at 6-foot-2 with athletic traits, and he is young. Davis was on the field for 92 percent of the Chargers’ defensive snaps in 2020 and has been a contributing player for three seasons. Teams will likely view Davis as a number two corner, but his best days could be ahead of him.
48. Desmond King, CB, Titans (26)
He was a first-team All-Pro selection in 2018, but King’s performance dipped, and the Chargers ended up trading him to the Titans in November. King will likely be viewed by most teams as a nickel or a hybrid defensive back who can also be an option in the return game.
49. Daryl Williams, OT, Bills (29)
He settled for a one-year, $2.25 million deal last offseason but played well as a 16-game starter at right tackle for one of the league’s best offenses. Williams should have a significantly stronger market than he did a year ago.
50. Cam Newton, QB, Patriots (32)
His season in New England didn’t go according to plan. Newton finished the season ranked 30th in QBR, and the Patriots missed the playoffs. But he also played with one of the league’s worst supporting casts. If you’re looking for a glass-half-full view, Newton stayed healthy and ran for 513 yards and 12 touchdowns. The Patriots could opt to bring him back with a younger quarterback, or Newton could see if he can find a starting job elsewhere. Last offseason, he settled for a one-year, $1.75 million deal. And Newton is again hitting the market at a bad time, given all the quarterback options available via trade.
Players you might yell at me about for not including:

Where do Dak Prescott, Chris Godwin, Allen Robinson, Leonard Williams, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Kenny Golladay and Trent Williams rank among the top 50 pending unrestricted free agents? Glad you asked.
The list will be updated in the weeks ahead as players are re-signed, released and tagged. The age in parentheses indicates how old the player will be at the start of the 2021 season.
1. Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys (28)
Prescott has completed 66 percent of his passes, averaged 7.7 yards per attempt (YPA) and thrown 106 touchdown passes with 40 interceptions in his career. If we want to go to advanced stats, he’s averaged 0.14 Expected Points Added (EPA) per play over the last three years, according to TruMedia’s model. That ranks ninth out of 44 quarterbacks. Prescott is coming off of a serious ankle injury but didn’t miss a game in his first four seasons. There’s pretty much no scenario where he enters the free-agent market, but Prescott tops the list because technically his contract is due to expire. The Cowboys have four options:
Sign Prescott long term.
Use the franchise tag for the second time and keep him.
Use the franchise tag for the second time and trade him.
Let him walk in free agency.
Signing Prescott long term would be ideal, but the Cowboys have had the opportunity to make that happen in the last two offseasons and have failed to get it done. Keeping him on the franchise tag is risky: One, because it will cost roughly $37 million — both in cash and cap — in 2021; and two, it would all but guarantee that Prescott could hit the open market in 2022. Bottom line: The Cowboys need to make a decision this offseason. Either sign Prescott long term, or see what the options look like for a tag and trade.
2. Allen Robinson, WR, Bears (28)
Teams in need of help at wide receiver are in luck. This free-agent class is loaded with pass-catchers. And Robinson figures to be near the top of the list for most teams.
His talent is obvious, but Robinson has been victimized by bad quarterback play since signing with the Bears in 2018. He now could get another chance to test the market. Robinson’s 2,397 receiving yards over the last two seasons ranks third among wide receivers, behind only Stefon Diggs and DeAndre Hopkins. He’s a legit outside No. 1 wide receiver who would fit pretty much any scheme.
It would be no surprise to see Robinson command $19 or $20 million per season on the open market. That’s what Keenan Allen got on his extension with the Chargers and what Amari Cooper re-signed for last offseason. The Bears have the option to use the franchise tag on Robinson — either to keep him or try to trade him.
3. Chris Godwin, WR, Buccaneers (25)
Godwin has a case to be the highest-paid wide receiver in the group. He is a complete player who can win at all levels and play outside or in the slot. Godwin was prolific in 2019 with 86 catches for 1,333 yards and nine touchdowns. He battled injuries this season but still caught 65 balls for 840 yards and seven touchdowns in 12 regular-season games. The floor for Godwin is probably what Robert Woods got ($16.25 million annually), and Godwin could very well find a $20 million per year deal on the open market.
4. Justin Simmons, S, Broncos (27)
The Broncos used the franchise tag on Simmons last offseason, and he responded by earning a Pro Bowl bid. Simmons is the type of young difference-maker the Broncos should be looking to build around. He’s been the team’s Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee for two consecutive years and hasn’t missed a game in the last three seasons. Given his age and production, Simmons could very well set the top of the safety market. That would mean surpassing Budda Baker’s four-year, $59 million deal ($14.75 million annually).
5. Leonard Williams, DL, Giants (27)
The Giants sent a pair of draft picks to the Jets to acquire Williams in 2019 and then used the franchise tag on him. Williams turned in a career year in 2020 with 11.5 sacks (seventh league-wide) and 30 quarterback hits (third). Teams could view him as a player who is finally playing to his potential and entering his prime. Williams’ stock is higher than it would have been last offseason. He could land somewhere in the range of Kenny Clark’s deal (four years, $70 million) and DeForest Buckner’s deal (four years, $84 million). The Giants also have the option of using the franchise tag on him a second time, which would mean paying Williams roughly $19 million on a one-year deal for 2021.
6. Trent Williams, OT, 49ers (33)
After missing all of 2019, Williams was traded to the 49ers and played at a high level. He finished fourth among tackles in ESPN’s pass-block win rate and made the Pro Bowl. Williams is on the wrong side of 30, but left tackles of his caliber are hard to find, and he should still have plenty of suitors if he hits the open market. David Bakhtiari ($23 million per year) is currently the NFL’s top-paid tackle. The floor for a Williams deal could be the contract ($17 million per year) Garrett Bolles signed with the Broncos. One important note: As part of Williams’ restructured deal with San Francisco, the 49ers can’t use the franchise tag on him.
7. Yannick Ngakoue, Edge, Ravens (26)
He has had eight sacks or more in each of his first five seasons and has missed just two games in his career. That production and durability should get Ngakoue paid, especially given how young he is.
The Jaguars used the franchise tag on Ngakoue last offseason and then traded him to the Vikings. He played six games in Minnesota and then was dealt to Baltimore, where Ngakoue had his moments but was not a consistent difference-maker. The Ravens had him on the field for just 42 percent of the snaps and 36 percent of the snaps, respectively, in their two playoff games. Over the last five years, Ngakoue’s 45.5 sacks rank 12th, and his 95 QB hits rank tied for 14th. The Ravens can sign him to an extension, tag him again and keep him, tag and trade him or let him walk in free agency for a potential compensatory pick. Arik Armstead signed with the 49ers for $17 million per year last offseason, and Demarcus Lawrence got $21 million per year from the Cowboys. That’s likely the range that Ngakoue would be looking at on the open market.
8. Kenny Golladay, WR, Lions (27)
Golladay played in only five games last season because of a hip injury, but he’s been a difference-making receiver when he’s on the field. Golladay’s 2,253 yards across 2018 and 2019 ranked ninth among all wide receivers. He’s averaged 16.8 yards per reception for his career and is a terrific downfield threat who knows how to use his size to out-muscle opponents. As long as there are no lingering questions about Golladay’s hip injury, he should be in line to land a deal between $17 and $20 million per year.
9. Brandon Scherff, OG, Washington (29)
Washington used the franchise tag to keep Scherff last offseason. He made his fourth Pro Bowl, ranking fourth among guards in ESPN’s pass-block win rate metric. The only question with Scherff is durability. He missed three games in 2020, five in 2019 and eight in 2018. But given how well he’s played when healthy, Scherff could become the NFL’s highest-paid guard and find a deal worth $15 million per year.
Shaquil Barrett (Matthew Emmons / USA Today)
10. Shaquil Barrett, Edge, Buccaneers (28)
He was dominant during the Bucs’ Super Bowl run with four sacks and eight quarterback hits in Tampa’s last two games. Barrett was a monster in 2019 (19.5 sacks, 37 QB hits and six forced fumbles), and the Bucs used the franchise tag to retain him. His regular-season numbers (eight sacks, 16 QB hits) weren’t as impressive in 2020, but he made his mark in the playoffs. The Buccaneers will have to decide whether to again use the franchise tag on Barrett, sign him to a long-term extension or let him walk in free agency.
11. JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, Steelers (24)
He came into the league at a young age and is set to enter free agency at just 24. Smith-Schuster was hurt by terrible quarterback play in 2019 but bounced back with 97 catches for 831 yards and nine touchdowns in 2020. He is a great option to work the middle, intermediate part of the field and brings a toughness that teams will find appealing. Players like Robert Woods, Adam Thielen and Cooper Kupp are in the neighborhood of $16 million per year. That seems like a reasonable floor for any potential deal with Smith-Schuster.
12. Bud Dupree, Edge, Steelers (28)
The Steelers used the franchise tag on him last offseason, and Dupree was playing at a high level before tearing an ACL in December, with eight sacks and 15 quarterback hits in 11 games. In 2019, he had 11.5 sacks and 17 quarterback hits. Intel on Dupree’s knee injury will obviously be key, but it’s relatively common now for players to return to full strength after ACL injuries. It’s possible that Dupree settles for a one-year deal and then tries to cash in next offseason. But given his age, production and versatility, it would be no surprise to see Dupree land a long-term deal that pays him north of $15 million per year.
13. Matt Judon, Edge, Ravens (29)
The Ravens used the franchise tag on Judon last offseason. He produced just six sacks, but his 21 QB hits were tied for 11th most in the league. Judon hit the quarterback on 8.5 percent of his pass-rush opportunities, which ranked third behind only T.J. Watt and Joey Bosa. Using the franchise tag again on Judon would cost north of $20 million. The Ravens could be forced to choose between Ngakoue and Judon, and it’s possible that they lose both players this offseason.
14. Aaron Jones, RB, Packers (26)
With 3,017 yards from scrimmage since the start of 2019 (fifth league-wide among running backs), Jones has been one of the NFL’s best all-around backs over the past two seasons. Aside from his talent and production, the case for signing Jones would be that he hasn’t had to carry a heavy workload in his first four seasons. In the last year, Dalvin Cook, Derrick Henry and Joe Mixon have signed deals between $12 million and $13 million per year. That could be the range Jones is looking for.
15. Lavonte David, LB, Buccaneers (31)
He was a key cog on one of the NFL’s best defenses and added a Super Bowl ring to an already impressive resume. David is on the wrong side of 30, but he has been durable and productive throughout his nine-year career. Since David entered the league in 2012, only Bobby Wagner has produced more tackles. David played at a high level in 2020 and will interest teams that are looking for a veteran leader and a three-down linebacker.
16. Corey Linsley, OC, Packers (30)
He’s started 99 games in seven seasons for the Packers and was named a first-team All-Pro in 2020. Linsley ranked fifth among centers in pass-block win rate. He will be the top option for teams in the market for a veteran center. Ryan Kelly signed a four-year, $49.65 million deal ($12.4 million per year) with the Colts in September. That could be a good comp for what Linsley commands on the open market.
17. Leonard Floyd, Edge, Rams (29)
The change of scenery served him well. The Bears released Floyd, and the Rams signed him to a one-year, $10 million deal. Floyd finished ninth in the league with 10.5 sacks and tied for 19th with 19 QB hits. He played 90 percent of the snaps and has not missed a game in the past three years.
18. Taylor Moton, OT, Panthers (27)
There’s a lot to like about Moton. He’s never missed a game and has been a rock-solid right tackle for Carolina. Ja’Wuan James got a four-year, $51 million deal with the Broncos in 2019, and Jack Conklin signed a three-year, $42 million deal with the Browns last offseason. Moton will likely be looking to get a deal in that range.
19. Joe Thuney, OG, Patriots (28)
The Patriots surprisingly used the franchise tag on Thuney last offseason. He’s started 80 consecutive games and been a solid, steady player. Thuney will likely be one of the top available guards on the market and could find a deal in the range of $14 million per year.
20. Corey Davis, WR, Titans (26)
He picked the right time to have a career year. Davis had 65 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns in 14 games in 2020. He hasn’t lived up to his draft slot (he was taken fifth in 2017), and the Titans declined his fifth-year option, but Davis is still young and offers the floor of a No. 2 wide receiver. Teams could talk themselves into him having a No. 1 wide receiver ceiling. The advanced numbers are kind to Davis. He averaged 2.73 yards per route run in the regular season, which ranked eighth among 276 qualifying players.
21. Matt Milano, LB, Bills (27)
He’s a true three-down linebacker whose skill set should fit any scheme. Milano is coming off of an injury-riddled 2020 when he started five regular-season games and played 30 percent of the defensive snaps, but durability had not been a major issue previously. Based on recent deals signed by guys like Cory Littleton and Zach Cunningham, Milano seems likely to command between $12 million and $14 million per year.
22. William Jackson III, CB, Bengals (28)
It’s not an especially strong group of cornerback free agents, which could be good news for Jackson. He hasn’t been a shutdown, Pro Bowl-caliber player and has just three interceptions in 59 career games, but Jackson has played well. He’s a talented cover corner, and there’s always a market for those guys.
23. Shaquill Griffin, CB, Seahawks (26)
He’s been a four-year starter since Seattle selected him in the third round in 2017. Griffin has speed and length and should be able to fit any defensive scheme. He missed four games this season with injuries, but durability has not been a long-term issue. It would be no surprise to see a team project that Griffin’s best days are still ahead of him. He should be among the highest-paid corners in this free-agent class.
24. Carl Lawson, Edge, Bengals (26)
He’s another player who made the most out of his contract year. Lawson had just 5.5 sacks, but his 32 QB hits ranked second to only Watt. Some teams may view Lawson more as a rotational pass rusher than an every-down player, although he played a career-high 68 percent of the defensive snaps in 2020 and has been consistently productive. Lawson’s 83 QB hits over the past four seasons are tied for 11th league-wide.
25. Marcus Maye, S, Jets (28)
He was one of the few bright spots for the Jets in 2020. Maye could be a nice free safety option in Robert Saleh’s defensive scheme. He hasn’t missed a start in the past two years and played 100 percent of the snaps last season. If the Jets don’t re-sign him before he hits the market, Maye should have plenty of suitors.
26. John Johnson, S, Rams (25)
He was limited to six games due to an injury in 2019 but came back strong and played 100 percent of the Rams’ defensive snaps. Johnson has been used more as a strong safety but can play deep in split-safety looks. He’s young and has the intangibles teams will find attractive.
27. Trey Hendrickson, Edge, Saints (26)
He made the most of his contract year, finishing second league-wide with 13.5 sacks and tied for eighth with 25 quarterback hits. Hendrickson had never played more than 38 percent of the defensive snaps in a season prior to 2020, when he was on the field 53 percent of the time. Teams will have to weigh his 2020 production against previous years to determine whether Hendrickson is a one-year wonder or an ascending player. He had 6.5 sacks and 18 QB hits during his first three seasons.
28. Haason Reddick, Edge/LB, Cardinals (27)
He had a big second half of the season and finished with 12.5 sacks, which was tied for fourth league-wide. Reddick’s role in Arizona has changed about 400 times in four seasons, but he has shown pass-rushing chops. He’s a hybrid-type player who could be really fun with the right defensive coordinator.
29. Will Fuller, WR, Texans (27)
The question with Fuller has never been talent but durability. He missed 22 games in his first four seasons. Fuller was turning in a career year through 11 games in 2020 but was suspended for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drugs policy. He had 53 catches for 879 yards and eight touchdowns. Fuller is the type of vertical field-stretcher that teams covet. He’ll be a boom-or-bust free agent.
30. Marcus Williams, S, Saints (25)
Williams is young and durable. He’s missed just four games in four seasons and played well in 2020. Williams should be among the more attractive starting-caliber free safety options available on the open market.
31. Anthony Harris, S, Vikings (29)
The Vikings surprisingly tagged him last offseason, and Harris had an up-and-down 2020 while adjusting his role and responsibilities to account for Minnesota’s young and inexperienced cornerbacks. He should still be an attractive option for teams in need of a reliable, rangy free safety who can make plays on the ball.
32. Nelson Agholor, WR, Raiders (28)
After a disappointing 2019 with the Eagles, Agholor settled for a one-year, $1.05 million deal with the Raiders. He made the most of his opportunity, catching 48 balls for 896 yards and averaging 18.7 yards per reception. He should have a much different market this time around.
33. Curtis Samuel, WR, Panthers (25)
Coaches often fall in love with players like Samuel, who can offer speed and versatility. Samuel set career highs with 77 catches for 851 yards in 2020, and he was much more efficient than he had been previously, catching 79.4 percent of his targets. The Panthers used Samuel as a ballcarrier, too — he had 41 carries for 200 yards. With the right offensive coach, Samuel is a really fun player. With the wrong one, he could be a bust. But he produced his career season at the perfect time to get paid and is one of the youngest players on this list.
34. Hunter Henry, TE, Chargers (26)
The Chargers tagged Henry last offseason. He finished the year with 613 receiving yards — 12th among tight ends. Henry averaged 1.35 yards per route run, which ranked 31st among tight ends. Austin Hooper got a four-year, $42 million deal last offseason. Given how young Henry is, he could be in line for a similar deal if a team thinks his best football is still ahead of him.
35. Jonnu Smith, TE, Titans (26)
He’s a good example of how teams might be willing to pay for future projection over past performance. Smith has made a lot of big plays, but his career high for receiving yards in a season — set this year — is 448. Smith also set a career high with eight touchdowns in 2020. His talent is obvious, and teams could view Smith as a player who could put up big numbers if given more opportunities in a pass-heavy offense.
36. Dalvin Tomlinson, DT, Giants (27)
He’s started 64 games in four seasons and has been a steady presence on the Giants’ defensive line. Tomlinson has seven sacks and 19 quarterback hits over the past two seasons. He’ll be a nice option for teams in the market for a run-stopping defensive tackle, and some may view Tomlinson as a player with pass-rushing upside. D.J. Reader got a four-year $53 million deal from the Cincinnati Bengals last offseason. That’s probably the ceiling for a potential Tomlinson contract.
37. Justin Houston, Edge, Colts (32)
He’s on the wrong side of 30, but Houston continues to produce. He was eighth among edge defenders in pass-rush win rate and had eight sacks to go along with 12 QB hits. Houston signed a two-year, $23 million contract with the Colts in 2019. It’s possible he finds a similar deal on the open market.
38. Melvin Ingram, Edge, Chargers (32)
It was a tough contract year for Ingram. He appeared in seven games before heading to injured reserve with a knee injury. Ingram has had a very good career, but he finished 2020 with no sacks and four QB hits. If healthy, Ingram is a disruptive player and a versatile pass rusher capable of lining up in different spots. His market will likely come down to whether teams are confident he can bounce back from the injury.
39. Romeo Okwara, Edge, Lions (26)
He made the most of his contract year. Okwara finished 10th with 10 sacks and tied for 22nd with 18 QB hits. However, teams will have to balance that production with Okwara’s first four seasons, when he totaled 10 sacks in 51 games. He’s one of the trickier players to project on this list, but given Okwara’s age, there’s reason to think he could be an ascending player.
40. Alejandro Villanueva, OT, Steelers (33)
There’s always a market for starting-caliber left tackles. Villanueva didn’t become a starter until he was 27. He’s never missed a game and is a two-time Pro Bowler, although 2020 was not his best season. Given Villanueva’s age, teams may view him as a declining player, but he plays a premium position. The two-year, $33 million deal that Anthony Castonzo signed last offseason is probably the ceiling for what Villanueva could land.
41. T.Y. Hilton, WR, Colts (31)
He started off slow but came on strong in the second half of the season and finished with 56 catches for 762 yards and five touchdowns. Just two years ago, Hilton totaled 1,270 yards with Andrew Luck as his quarterback. He’s older than the other receivers on this list but should still have at least a couple of years left as a starting-caliber player. If a team needs wide receiver help but doesn’t have the cap space to target the top of the market, Hilton at around $9 million per year could make sense.
42. Jadeveon Clowney, Edge, Titans (28)
He was searching for a big payday last offseason but didn’t find it and had to settle for a one-year, $13 million deal with the Titans. Now Clowney’s stock is likely to be significantly lower. He failed to notch a single sack in eight games and then underwent season-ending knee surgery. Clowney might have a hard time finding the deal he’s looking for once again this offseason.
43. Richard Sherman, CB, 49ers (33)
He’s a tough player to slot. Sherman will be 33 at the start of next season and appeared in only five games in 2020 because of injury. He was 30 when he signed with the 49ers in 2018 and delivered two great years, making the Pro Bowl in 2019. If healthy, Sherman can still be effective. But given his age, he might be looking at another incentive-laden deal or a one-year contract.
44. Rob Gronkowski, TE, Buccaneers (32)
He returned to action in 2020 after a one-year hiatus and started every game, playing 75 percent of the Bucs’ offensive snaps. Gronkowski was outstanding as a blocker and showed he can still be effective as a receiver, catching 45 balls for 623 yards and seven touchdowns. It’s hard to picture him catching passes from anyone other than Tom Brady, but Gronkowski should draw interest if he wants to look elsewhere.
45. Patrick Peterson, CB, Cardinals (31)
He’s another tough player to slot. Peterson was suspended for six games in 2019 for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drugs policy. He played 99 percent of the Cardinals’ defensive snaps in 2020 but looked like a declining player. Peterson has put together a Hall of Fame-caliber resume and, at his best, is an elite man corner. But his best days are behind him, and interested teams will have to determine how much to invest in Peterson at this stage of his career.
46. Cam Robinson, OT, Jaguars (25)
He’s been Jacksonville’s left tackle with 47 starts over the past four seasons. Robinson has been OK, not great, but competent 25-year-old left tackles generally get paid in free agency.
47. Michael Davis, CB, Chargers (26)
After originally signing with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2017, Davis has developed into a quality starting corner. He has size at 6-foot-2 with athletic traits, and he is young. Davis was on the field for 92 percent of the Chargers’ defensive snaps in 2020 and has been a contributing player for three seasons. Teams will likely view Davis as a number two corner, but his best days could be ahead of him.
48. Desmond King, CB, Titans (26)
He was a first-team All-Pro selection in 2018, but King’s performance dipped, and the Chargers ended up trading him to the Titans in November. King will likely be viewed by most teams as a nickel or a hybrid defensive back who can also be an option in the return game.
49. Daryl Williams, OT, Bills (29)
He settled for a one-year, $2.25 million deal last offseason but played well as a 16-game starter at right tackle for one of the league’s best offenses. Williams should have a significantly stronger market than he did a year ago.
50. Cam Newton, QB, Patriots (32)
His season in New England didn’t go according to plan. Newton finished the season ranked 30th in QBR, and the Patriots missed the playoffs. But he also played with one of the league’s worst supporting casts. If you’re looking for a glass-half-full view, Newton stayed healthy and ran for 513 yards and 12 touchdowns. The Patriots could opt to bring him back with a younger quarterback, or Newton could see if he can find a starting job elsewhere. Last offseason, he settled for a one-year, $1.75 million deal. And Newton is again hitting the market at a bad time, given all the quarterback options available via trade.

Yeah if he was 27 it would be different. I don't like signing free agents that far past their prime.

Age, declining production, and injuries don’t typically blend well with an $18M salary.
