NFL free agency: Projecting destinations for the 14 biggest game-changers

Who wants a edge player was the most influential player in Super Bowl? Who wants to receive a Pro Bowl reception? And for this issue, who wants Qurtbbeck?
This free agency category has a handful of stars that will make their new teams better in the next season. It is understood that some teams do not feel crazy with spending in a free agency. Often, the best free agents do not reach the market. Just see T HiggensWho was No. 1 waiting for the free agent. the Bengal His privilege was achieved on Monday. But this does not mean that there is no change in the game with expired contracts.

Let’s take a look at the biggest names in this year. Here are 14 free agents who can change the concession path – with a balance between the privileges that we believe will change.
Sam DarnoldQB
The expected drop spot: Pittsburgh Stelors
There are not many places where you were excited about Darnold’s horizons. But Pittsburgh is one of them. Despite all the complaint about the place of Mike Tomlin in the antiseptic 10 wins, it does something great. This is not Jeff Fischer. It is almost impossible to achieve success in the way Tomlin does. He did a job that has been overlooked a lot in a two -digit victory with QB, which seemed to be a total bust (Justin fieldsAnd another seemed to wash it completely (Russell Wilson). I think Darnold is better than both. It can get this team in the post -season depth.
Chris GodwinWR
The expected drop spot: Tamba Bay Boukanrerez
If they can, New England Patriot You will participate in Judwin’s Free Agency tour. It is the best reception in the market. But everyone says that Godwin wants to return to Tampa. This is how I will also swing. New England and others will put a lot of money on the table. Pirates will raise their width. This will be sufficient to keep Bodwin.
Peron Murphy JuniorCB
The expected drop spot: Minnesota Vikings
There is no shortage of teams that will show interest in Morphi. But Jamal Turk Darnold is that Minnesota can spend heavily to keep her stars. Vikings have a lot of space. Murphy is one of the best players. If he will leave, the team will strongly need CB1. So I bet they are working on a long -term deal and spending many years in Minnesota.
Josh of sweatEdge
The expected drop spot: Washington leaders
There is nothing like competition in division to send the player’s value via the ceiling. The race had already made clear a great season before it was mentioned Heads“The game plan at Super Bowl (6 treats, 2.5 bags, 3 QB strikes, 2 TFLS). Philly spent huge money on Price Hove Only last season, it looks like a difficult moment for them to go to sweat. And even if Eagles They were ready, leaders could be more financially willing. It is rare to see a talent like sweat in the market. Washington can turn with violent Show.
Rooney StanleyOt
The expected drop spot: New England Patriot
Everyone remains calm like Crows Negotiate with Stanley, who may not want to leave for a place like New England. Both sides believe that the deal can still gather, For all Jeremy Fowler from ESPN. But if Stanley manufactures a free agency, it may make the patriots deserve it while leaving Baltimore. New England has a lot of money and Stanley, to a large extent, the best market treatment. I could see the patriots walk abroad with what they would push to start consolidating their offensive line (and the age of the new coach’s plan, Mike, who saw him to get stronger in the trenches).
Nagy HarrisRB
The expected drop spot: Dallas Copules
Don’t let Jerry Jones surprise you. Expect what is unexpected. People believe that the owner of the cowboy will describe Ashton Genti In the first round. What if, instead, Jones Harris brought to serve as a bruising hostility to this crime? Harris is not an explosive hostility, but it was effective and violent in ways that might remember people with the Elliot in Pride. It would be strange for Johns Harris to pay when he did not pay Mika ParsonsBut things are always strange in Dallas.
Russell WilsonQB
The expected drop spot: New York Giants
This is a strange marriage. Wilson is unlikely to get a great interest in the open market. It does not seem that people want the QB aging, whose faults returned to focus in January. But New York may not have many options. The Giants Authority in Aaron Rodgers It was exaggerated, For all reports. There are not many QBS who want to land in New York. 36 -year -old Wilson is desperate enough. In this scenario, the giants “The last chance of U” will be for QB, Coach and GM.
Aaron RodgersQB
The expected drop spot: (forced) retirement
I think there is a real opportunity not to want to work with Rodgers. Yes, it was once the elite of Qurtirbbeck. He has the title of Super Bowl for his name. But the teams will be afraid to bring him after they saw him doing New York GatesWho are worse off than they were when they traded for it. He really needs a stable organization like Pittsburg, but I have a steps to Darnold instead. Other teams that indicate QB will want a low bridge of the QB or low -cost rising for the future. Rodgers no. What if Rodgers finds that he does not play on Carrosel – but a musical chairs game?
Stefon DigzWR
The expected drop spot: Green Bay Bakrz
Diggs like WR1 may have ended – a man, quickly happened, right? -But in the Bakrz crime, it can collect a respectable season of 1000 yards. It also brings some veteran consistency to the collection of receptions that need this exactly. There will be no shortage of teams that you think can get more Diggs in 2025 Texas It happened in 2024. But it seems that Bakrz is the best match for the 31 -year -old veteran warrior.
Hason RedikEdge
The expected drop spot: Pittsburgh Stelors
Last year, the planes were circulated with Reddick in the hope that a game changed around the defense. Then the negotiations are mainly contracted mainly. Because of that strange year in New York, it may come with a discount for its capabilities. I think Mike Tomlin will appeal to your Redic. I think Pittsburgh will spend a healthy amount on a Reddick man.
Amari CooperWR
The expected drop spot: New England Patriot
This is a nice match for Drake May. If Cooper managed to play anywhere near the level he played in 2023 – or even near the place where he played before Brown It has been traded to Boufalo – the recipient must be the best reception that has ever played. I know this does not say much. But the presence of Cooper would significantly improve the New England crime. Nationalists can pay him more than anyone else. It can appear to him as wr1. They just need to sell Cooper that New England is a place he can win. Because that seemed to be a reason for what was very happy in Boufalo – even if his production was not at its typical levels.
Delandre HopkinsWR
The expected drop spot: Baltimore Raven’s
Hopkins fades, but it is the type of recipient that can help Ravers, who have a good snapshot like anyone in making Super Bowl next season. Hopkins, 32, has made a lot of money. He chases the ring. Baltimore must have the appropriate amount of shots for a future like Hopkins, who will play behind Zai flowersand Mark Andrewsand Ishiah probably Perhaps Rasoud Batman. I think that will be fine for Hopkins.
Justin fieldsQB
The expected drop spot: Las Vegas Riders
I love the field of fields and Carroll’s house. And I think Carroll – as Tomlin did in 2024 – can create a safe space to build a youth QB. Carole once told me everything about his mentality to work with QBS youthAnd showed the care and intention that helped everything click on Wilson and Geno Smith In Seattle. If Raides is not sold on QBs in the draft, then Fields is a great project for 2025. If things do not succeed, Vigas can always be formulated next year.
Kennan AllenWR
The expected drop spot: Los Angeles chargers
It will be fun to see Allen returning to the chargers, who may be up to the reunification at a reduced price. There are some similarities in Allen and Lad Makonki The game, but I think McConkey’s skills are widely accommodated and the two contracts. It would be completely good to put these two in the starting assortment and use them in different ways. And most importantly, Justin Herbert I created a relationship with Allen that is likely to make no unification without you.
