NFL free agency predictions: The best team fits for the top players available
Free agency opens this week, with a three-day legal tampering window before players can officially sign contracts starting at 4 p.m. on March 9. Among the big names set to hit the market are a former MVP, a Super Bowl LI hero, a pair of often overlooked interior D-linemen and one of the league’s most promising young cornerbacks—and the market only gets deeper as teams try to clear out cap space to make the off-season’s biggest splashes.
Every free agent wrestles with the trade-off between the ideal football situation and the ideal financial situation for his immediate future, and the marquee members of the 2017 class should have no shortage of options in front of them. Still, the frenetic pace at which deals go down once the 2017 league year begins always has the potential to create some chaos.
Which teams offer the best fit for this year’s top free agents? Our NFL writers and editors make their picks below.
