NFL free agency truly begins on Monday, March 13 at noon ET. That's when the legal tampering period window opens, and teams can begin negotiating with free agents from the other 31 NFL teams. Starting yesterday teams could begin franchise tagging players and that ends on March 7th. So here are my early predictions for each NFL team.
Arizona Cardinals: CB James Bradberry
Atlanta Falcons: QB Lamar Jackson (Get's franchise tagged by Baltimore, can't work out a deal, traded and extended in Atlanta)
Baltimore Ravens: WR JuJu Smith-Schuster
Buffalo Bills: RB Saquon Barkley (He was rumored to be potentially traded their during the season before the Giants decided to hold onto him as they made a push for the playoffs, Daniel Jones wants 45mil/year. Financially cant keep both players and RB's arent the same after their rookie deals.)
Carolina Panthers: WR DJ Chark
Chicago Bears: RT Mike McGlinchey (Improves the O-line in Chicago immediately and helps protect Fields for the next few years)
Cincinatti Bengals: TE Dalton Schutlz
Cleveland Browns: WR Allen Lazard (Would pair well with the core of Cooper, Peoples-Jones, & Njoku. Deshaun Watson confirmed still a pervert)
Dallas Cowboys: RB Tony Pollard (Franchise Tag)
Denver Broncos: OT Jawaan Taylor
Detroit Lions: FS CJ Gardner-Johnson (I don't know who would willing to go to Detroit, but the Lions are building something)
Green Bay Packers: WR Jakobi Meyers (Looks like a lateral move after losing Lazard, but should be a cheaper option with more upside)
Houston Texans: CB James Dean
Indianapolis Colts: OG Ben Powers
Jacksonville Jaguars: Evan Engram (Franchise Tag, one of the biggest steals last off season, Jacksonville will want to bring him back)
Kansas City Chiefs: DE Marcus Davenport
Las Vegas Raiders: QB Jimmy Garoppolo (Himmy G! I really don'y see this one happening, but he does have history with Josh McDaniels from their NE days, if they miss on Rodgers, Jimmy G is a better option than a first year rookie)
Los Angeles Chargers: DT Dalvin Tomlinson
Los Angeles Rams: OG Isaac Seumalo
Miami Dolphins: RB Josh Jacobs (Idk how they are with cap in terms of the deal Jacobs will be looking for after being the #1 back this past season, but they 3 RB's to become free agents)
Minnesota Vikings: LB Tremaine Edwards
New England Patriots: WR Odell Beckham Jr (Once OBJ left the Giants we all saw this day coming, its inevitable to see Bill and OBJ together and it not work out)
New Orleans Saints: QB Derek Carr (The Saints were the only team to meet with him, so my dumb brain says he's going to NOLA, it's not science rockets)
New York Giants: QB Daniel Jones (Gone back and fourth on this, I think they'll franchise tag him at $32 million, and then attempt to get a deal done with Barkley to keep him)
New York Jets: QB Aaron Rodgers (A-rod showing up to Jets training camp)
Philadelphia Eagles: C Jason Kelce (Gotta bring back one of the main pieces of your O-line, and the heart and soul of this team)
Pittsburgh Steelers: DT Daron Payne
San Fransisco 49ers: S Jessie Bates III/S Jordan Poyer (one of them will end up in the Bay area, book it)
Seattle Seahawks: QB Geno Smith
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: QB Baker Mayfield (I bet you all thought I wasn't going to bring up my guy. The Bucs are in cap space hell, Brady is gone, Mayfield offers a cheap option to bridge the gap, or see if Kyle Trask is any good)
Tennesse Titans: CB Cameron Sutton
Washington Commanders: CB Byron Murphy
Sheesh, need a nap after this in-depth analysis. @ESPN let me know if you need me in the 3-5am slot to make some noise.
