<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/tee-higgins/2066">Tee Higgins</a> is just entering his prime and is already widely considered one of the top wideouts in the NFL. Higgins showcased his value in a big way this year, finishing with ten touchdowns and just shy of 1,000 receiving yards. Higgins has been franchised-tagged by the Bengals.

It's not hard to get excited about one of the top guards in the league hitting free agency. <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/trey-smith/1591">Trey Smith</a> put together a 75% run block win rate during the regular season and didn't allow a sack. Smith has been franchise-tagged by the Chiefs.

The body of work that <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/ronnie-stanley/2592">Ronnie Stanley</a> has put together throughout his career has made him one of the best left tackles in football. Injuries have played a role of late for Stanley, but he was healthy in 2024. Stanley has re-signed with the Baltimore Ravens (three years, $60 million).

Even though it was somewhat of an up-and-down campaign, the body of work that<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/jevon-holland/1490"> Jevon Holland</a> has put together is noteworthy. There's a good case to be made that he was the best available safety on the open market. Holland signed with the New York Giants (three years, $45.3 million)

4. Jevon Holland, S

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/chris-godwin/1463">Chris Godwin</a> has continued to be one of the NFL's top slot receivers. A season-ending injury could hurt his value, but his resume certainly speaks for itself at this stage in his career. Godwin has re-signed with the Buccaneers (three years, $66 million).

If there's one breakout free agent on this list, it's<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/zack-baun/1075"> Zack Baun</a>. Whether you want to believe he can be this player, long-term is a different story, but Baun has put together a dominant season for the Eagles and will be looking for a big raise. Baun has re-signed with the Eagles (three years, $51 million).

6. Zack Baun, LB

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_24637923-scaled-e1737550476608-768x432.jpg

When targeted this season, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/dj-reed/1540">D.J. Reed</a> allowed just a 57% completion percentage and two touchdowns. Those types of numbers will earn you a handsome payday in free agency. Reed signed with the Detroit Lions (three years, $48 million).

7. D.J. Reed, CB

If <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/khalil-mack/1116">Khalil Mack</a> doesn't retire, he's shown that he's still very much capable of making an impact on a defense. Mack has re-signed with the Chargers (one year, $18 million)

Injuries put a halt to <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/stefon-diggs/1676">Stefon Diggs</a> first season with the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/houston-texans-depth-chart">Houston Texans</a>. No one will doubt his talent, but you have to wonder how much this injury will play a role in the term he gets in free agency.

9. Stefon Diggs, WR

The numbers were great this season for <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/sam-darnold/2614">Sam Darnold</a>, who proved he's capable of being a starting quarterback in the NFL. Darnold signed with the Seahawks (three years, $100.5 million)

The numbers didn't pop during his tenure with the Bills, but <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/amari-cooper/2320">Amari Cooper</a> is still very much capable of being a valuable wideout. Cooper's team first mentality and willingness to block will earn him some fans in free agency.

11. Amari Cooper, WR

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_24687678-1-scaled-e1737978215338-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/josh-sweat/1342">Josh Sweat</a> put together another strong season this year and was one of the top edge rushers in free agency. On a strong Eagles defense, Sweat has earned himself some job security and a nice payday. Sweat signed with the Cardinals (four years, $76.4 million)

12. Josh Sweat, EDGE

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_24639837-scaled-e1737978237884-768x432.jpg

It wasn't a perfect season for<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/haason-reddick/1370"> Haason Reddick</a>, who sat out the start of the year due to a contract dispute. Reddick signed with the Buccaneers (one year, $14 million).

13. Haason Reddick, EDGE

Although it was a troublesome campaign for<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/charvarius-ward/2610"> Charvarius Ward</a>, the overall body of work he's demonstrated throughout his career should earn him the benefit of the doubt in free agency. Ward signed with the Colts (three years, up to $60 million).

14. Charvarius Ward, CB

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25229607-scaled-e1737978275174-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/rasul-douglas/1694">Rasul Douglas </a>is a playmaker in the secondary, and the numbers showcase that. Whether you want a corner to breakup passes or record interceptions, Douglas does a little bit of everything. 
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

15. Rasul Douglas, CB

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_24946998-2-scaled-e1738150549436-768x432.jpg

There's still value in what veteran wideout <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/deandre-hopkins/2289">DeAndre Hopkins</a> can bring to the table. Although he's not a key cog in their Super Bowl run, he's still played a role that's helped the Chiefs along the way, highlighting his overall ability.

16. DeAndre Hopkins, WR

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_18951035-scaled-e1738150639186-768x432.jpg

Missing all of this season didn't help <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/malcolm-koonce/1792">Malcolm Koonce</a>, but he did put together a strong campaign the last time we saw him healthy. Koonce has re-signed with the Raiders (one year, $12 million).

17. Malcolm Koonce, EDGE

The overall body of work that <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/dre-greenlaw/2657">Dre Greenlaw</a> has supplied throughout his NFL career is impressive, especially in coverage as a linebacker. Greenlaw signed with the Broncos (three years, $35 million).

18. Dre Greenlaw, LB

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25202662-scaled-e1738150777449-768x432.jpg

There's a lot to like about the consistency that <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/cam-robinson/2757">Cam Robinson </a>has brought to the table in a vital role on the offensive line. Teams will certainly see the stability that he can provide with his body of work over the last half decade.

19. Cam Robinson, T

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25081833-2-scaled-e1738150850419-768x432.jpg

It will be interesting to see how running backs are approached in free agency this year. <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/aaron-jones/1994">Aaron Jones</a> was arguably the top available running back in free agency. Jones has re-signed with the Vikings (two years, $20 million).

No one will question the level of talent that <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/justin-fields/1750">Justin Fields</a> brings to the table. The question is whether or not he'll be able to put it all together for a full year at the NFL level. Fields signed with the Jets (two years, $40 million).

21. Justin Fields, QB

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_24679838-scaled-e1738424016645-768x432.jpg

The biggest issue and concern we have with <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/teven-jenkins/1705">Teven Jenkins</a> is his ability to stay healthy. If we had a crystal ball show us that he'd stay healthy for his next contract, a major raise would be due. Interest will certainly be there, but you have to wonder about what type of term he'll ultimately receive.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/carlton-davis/1436">Carlton Davis III</a> played the role of a veteran influence in the secondary for the Lions in 2024. His season was ultimately cut short in Week 15 after he fractured his jaw, but Davis III certainly earned himself some interest, especially if you're looking for him to help a young defense grow. Davis III signed with the Patriots (three years, $60 million).

23. Carlton Davis III, CB

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_21546831-scaled-e1738424064825-768x432.jpg

An injury cut <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/will-fries/1836">Will Fries's</a> 2024 season short, but that shouldn't stop him from being one of the most coveted guards in free agency. Fries has continued to develop into a high-end guard. Fries signed with the Vikings (five years, $88 million).

24. Will Fries, G

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_25123716-scaled-e1738424087678-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/kevin-zeitler/2594">Kevin Zeitler </a>continues to produce plenty of value as his career in the NFL winds down. You're not going to be breaking the bank with this player in terms of dollars or term, which should attract plenty of suitors. 
&nbsp;

25. Kevin Zeitler, G

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_24260791-scaled-e1738670246651-768x432.jpg

It's not as though <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/drew-dalman/2542">Drew Dalman</a> is the perfect center, but he does have the advantage of being the best one to hit the open market. Dalman brings a consistent presence and experience teams covet in the middle of their line. Dalman signed with the Bears (three years, $42 million).

26. Drew Dalman , C

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_22169600-scaled-e1738670286974-768x432.jpg

It wasn't a perfect season filled with inconsistencies and injuries for <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/asante-samuel/1110">Asante Samuel Jr.</a>, but that shouldn't stop teams from pursuing him in free agency. His overall body of work and experience should appeal to teams in the market for a cornerback.

27. Asante Samuel Jr. , CB

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_21787436-e1738670315364-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/james-daniels/2176">James Daniels</a> was putting together some strong tape before an injury derailed his season in Pittsburgh. His age shouldn't scare anyone off, and he's proven to be valuable in his role. Daniels signed with the Dolphins (three years, $24 million).

28. James Daniels, G

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_24577295-scaled-e1738670350737-768x432.jpg

It's hardly a secret that<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/tyron-smith/2479"> Tyron Smith</a> has been elite at his job throughout his storied career. Whether or not he wants to continue playing in 2025 is the only question mark about this player. Age and injury history are question marks, but there will be another job if he wants it.

29. Tyron Smith, OT

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_25201607-scaled-e1738670375481-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/camryn-bynum/1277">Camryn Bynum's</a> 104 tackles last season led all safeties, highlighting his ability to limit big plays and do his job. Consistency is extremely valuable at his position, and to this point, Bynum's played with that and more. Bynum signed with the Colts (four years, $60 million).
&nbsp;

30. Camryn Bynum, S

We're at the point with <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/talanoa-hufanga/16362">Talanoa Hufanga</a> where you can see the talent, but the overall production is lacking. Hufanga needs to be put in a better position to succeed, knowing very well he's struggled at times with his coverage and shadowing. Hufanga signed with the Broncos (three years, up to $45 million).

31. Talanoa Hufanga, S

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_25103413-scaled-e1738864147278-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/osa-odighizuwa/2450">Osa Odighizuwa</a> has posted some strong analytics in his role as an interior pass-rusher, but it hasn't exactly helped him create a production with his sack totals. The potential is certainly there for Odighizuwa to break out in the right scheme on defense. Odighizuwa has re-signed with the Cowboys (four years, $80 million).

32. Osa Odighizuwa, DT

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_24894495-scaled-e1738864166381-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/milton-williams/1369">Milton Williams</a> has been a definite riser on this list after what he's accomplished down the stretch for the Eagles. Williams has all the attributes that teams covet in free agency. Williams signed with the Patriots (four years, $104 million).

33. Milton Williams, DT

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_25064736-scaled-e1738864219442-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/nick-bolton/1602">Nick Bolton </a>has remained a tackling machine with the Chiefs, and is definitely not a player that opposing pass catchers love staring down in the open field. Bolton has re-signed with the Chiefs (three years, $45 million).

34. Nick Bolton, LB

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_24887892-scaled-e1738864248940-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/byron-murphy/1311">Byron Murphy Jr.</a> was productive during his tenure with the Vikings. Murphy Jr. has re-signed with the Vikings (three years, $66 million).

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/mike-hilton/2071">Mike Hilton</a> has continued to be one of the NFL's top slot defenders. Even though he's surpassed 30, you have to figure that interest will still be high on the Bengals former cornerback.

36. Mike Hilton, CB

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_25282992-1-1-scaled-e1739793167318-768x432.jpg

A shoulder injury didn't really allow <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/hollywood-brown/16323">Marquise Brown</a> to make his mark with the Chiefs this year. As a result, you're likely looking toward another short-term deal with this wideout, even if the talent is there for him to pop in the right offense. Brown has re-signed with the Chiefs (one year, up to $11 million).

37. Marquise Brown, WR

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_25078466-scaled-e1739793243150-768x432.jpg

It's hard to know what exactly <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/darius-slayton/1026">Darius Slayton</a> is when you factor in the quarterback play of the Giants. Slayton has put up some good numbers at times, any team looking for help in their wide receiver room will call. Slayton has re-signed with the Giants (three years, $36 million).

38. Darius Slayton, WR

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_24944234-scaled-e1739793299820-768x432.jpg

It's not exactly a very deep free agency for the tight end position this year. <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/juwan-johnson/1054">Juwan Johnson</a> offers some nice potential upside at this position, especially as a pass catching threat.

39. Juwan Johnson, TE

Coming off a Super Bowl victory with the Eagles, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/mekhi-becton/1558">Mekhi Becton </a>highlighted his talents on one of the top offensive lines in the league. The consistency that Becton brought to the table in Philadelphia should give potential suitors confidence.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/baron-browning/2265"> Baron Browning</a> has been a consistent force off the edge of late, the only issue surrounding him is availability. If Browning can stay on the football field, his impact will almost assuredly be felt wherever he ends up in free agency. Browning has re-signed with the Cardinals (two years, $15 million).

41. Baron Browning, LB

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_25199656-e1740052051444-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/levi-onwuzurike/2099">Levi Onwuzurike</a> has shown that he can be impactful when he's able to stay healthy. He's been in and out of the lineup of late, but he's continued to show important flashes when he's been on the field, highlighted by a strong pass-rush win rate.

42. Levi Onwuzurike, DE

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/keenan-allen/1123">Keenan Allen</a> still showed value in the red zone for the Bears offense in 2024, but he didn't pop nearly as much in the slot as we expected he would in this offense. Is this the beginning of a decline for the talented wide receiver?

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/dayo-odeyingbo/1849">Dayo Odeyingbo</a> has continued to show more with each passing year. There's a lot to like about his potential to pop and get paid in this free-agent class, knowing very well that there's some tangible upside with this player that hasn't been realized. Odeyingbo signed with the Bears (three years, $48 million).

There are plenty of question marks surrounding <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/russell-wilson/2217">Russell Wilson</a> at this stage in his career. Will Wilson stick around in Pittsburgh, or will the veteran signal-caller find the fourth home of his storied NFL career? Wilson still believes he has something left in the tank to offer.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/bobby-wagner/1396">Bobby Wagner</a> continues to age line fine wine. Wagner played a crucial role for the Commanders down the stretch last season, which should ultimately help propel him into another deal in free agency if he wants it. Wagner has the winning pedigree and is still finding new ways to improve at this stage in his career. Wagner has re-signed with the Commanders (one year, up to $9.5 million).

We know the consistent theme in free agency that running backs have a difficult time being paid. Will that continue with <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/najee-harris/2169">Najee Harris</a>? The former Alabama running back has been solid with the Steelers. Will a change of scenery help propel him into better numbers? Harris signed with the Chargers (one year, up to $9.25 million).

After a disappointing start to his tenure in Pittsburgh, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/dan-moore/2174">Dan Moore</a> quietly put together a strong season for the Steelers. The question we now have to ask is whether or not Moore ultimately priced himself out of Pittsburgh with his strong play last season. Moore signed with the Titans (four years, $82 million).

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/alaric-jackson/1222">Alaric Jackson</a> has performed well as blindside protection for the Rams over the last couple of years. Jackson has re-signed with the Rams (three years, $57 million).

Although he might not have lived up to expectations throughout his career, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/chase-young/2643">Chase Young</a> has still proven to be a valuable pass rush option in the NFL. If you're in need of depth off the edge, Young is a great option to add to the mix. Young has re-signed with the Saints (three years, $51 million).

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/azeez-ojulari/1024"> Azeez Ojulari </a>remains a strong force at contributing in the pass rush. The only issue is that he's been largely a gadget player, meaning it's been in a limited snap sample size. Still, getting pressure is valuable on defense, and Ojulari can certainly do that much.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/justin-reid/1622">Justin Reid </a>does a lot of little things well as a safety, especially in assisting defending the run. Some of the signs in the market indicate this could be the year that Reid finally gets paid. If he does, it's hard to see it being with Kansas City again.

Even as he continues to get older, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/calais-campbell/2488">Calais Campbell</a> remains a force in the NFL, which was once again the case in Miami last year. Campbell remains a force in defending the run, the only question mark surrounding him is whether or not he wants to continue playing at this stage.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/bj-hill/2056">B.J. Hill </a>has done a little bit of everything for the Bengals of late. Still, with negotiations with higher-priority players, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him somewhere else moving forward. Hill provides some solid insurance in the interior, which has proven more valuable than he'll likely get credit for. Hill has re-signed with the Bengals (three years, $33 million).

At this stage in his career, it's hard to envision <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/harrison-smith/1273">Harrison Smith</a> anywhere but in Minnesota. There's reports about him contemplating retirement, but if he suits up again, expect it to be for the Vikings.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/demarcus-lawrence/2444">DeMarcus Lawrence </a>fell to the injury bug in 2024, missing the remainder of the year after Week 4. Still, prior to that, Lawrence was being as disruptive as ever. How will his Lisfranc injury impact his overall market throughout free agency?

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/morgan-moses/2608">Morgan Moses</a> is great in pass protection, which is a trait that should help keep him in the league. Even in a reduced snap count last year, Moses still showed his overall importance on the Jets line. Moses signed with the Patriots (three years, $24 million).

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/trevon-moehrig/1803"> Tre'von Moehrig</a> has continued to grow his overall game throughout the past two years. When you see someone taking steps in different areas, that's a good sign that they can be a real value signing when it's all said and done. Moehrig signed with the Panthers (three years, $51 million).

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/brandon-scherff/2752"> Brandon Scherff </a>has dealt with some injuries throughout his career, but he's finally put together a three year stretch where he's been able to stay on the football field. That should help create some real interest throughout the free agency process.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/ernest-jones/1230">Ernest Jones IV</a> has put together some strong numbers in the NFL of late. Jones IV brings the thunder to a linebacker core. Jones has re-signed with the Seahawks (three years, $33 million).

For the first time since 2020, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/jk-dobbins/16352">J.K. Dobbins</a> logged more than eight games. The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/los-angeles-chargers-depth-chart">Los Angeles Chargers</a> running back was a staple of the team's offensive attack, churning out 905 yards on 195 carries. His durability might still concern several teams looking to upgrade their running back, but Dobbins has proven he's a capable rusher when healthy.

Last season, the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/baltimore-ravens-depth-chart">Baltimore Ravens</a> deployed <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/patrick-mekari/2605">Patrick Mekari</a> across the offensive line, albeit with most of those snaps coming at left guard. The California Golden Bears product was a stalwart throughout 2024, starting all 17 games on the Ravens' vaunted offensive line. Mekari's versatility could be a selling point for many teams looking to make a splash in free agency. Mekari signed with the Jaguars (three years, $37.5 million).

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/dante-fowler/2456">Dante Fowler Jr.</a> had a resurgent campaign with the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/washington-commanders-depth-chart">Washington Commanders</a>, potentially boosting his free agent allure. The former third-overall pick started seven games for the Commanders, with 10.5 sacks and 39 tackles, his highest marks in all categories since at least 2020. About to enter his age-31 season, Fowler Jr. will likely be working on a year-to-year basis.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/chauncey-golston/2477">Chauncey Golston</a> took on more responsibility in 2024, positively impacting his perceived value in free agency. The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/dallas-cowboys-depth-chart">Dallas Cowboys</a> defensive end set new benchmarks virtually across the board, recording 56 tackles, 5.5 sacks, five pass deflections, and an interception in his fourth professional season. Golston's pass-rushing acumen is something a few teams desperately hope to address this offseason. Golston signed with the Giants (three years, $19.5 million).

It's been a hell of a run for <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/stephon-gilmore/2481">Stephon Gilmore</a>, but after his 13th year in the NFL, the two-time All-Pro showed that he's still got plenty of gas in the tank. Gilmore started 15 games for the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/minnesota-vikings-depth-chart">Minnesota Vikings</a> last season, totaling nine pass deflections and an interception while allowing a 61.9% completion percentage in coverage. He may eventually be relegated to a mentorship role, but Gilmore remains a quality starting cornerback for now.
