In pro football, there isn’t something else quite like the lightning-quick speed of NFL free agency.
Money sometimes flies around with reckless abandon to average players while teams scramble to piece together the early makings of their roster for the upcoming season. Even just condensing this open market disorder into a long sentence has me disoriented.
With the 2023 NFL free agency period several away, we thought it fair to look at some of the best player-team fits this year. The franchise tag hoopla has settled down, so now we know exactly who should be able. (Check out our Christian D’Andrea’s forecast for all 32 teams while you’re at it.)
An elite blindside protector in New England? Sure. A workhorse receiver calling the South home? Why not. It’s free agency! Cats and dogs living together! Mass hysteria! Everyone who wants to spend has plenty of cap space and the capacity to make a splash.
