DT David Onyemata

Estimated average annual salary: $4.5 million

Projected compensatory pick: 6th round

Onyemata has steadily improved over time, splitting starter’s reps with Sheldon Rankins for much of the last two seasons. While he’s been disruptive and a solid run defender, he hasn’t produced the impressive pass-rush numbers of players like Gerald McCoy (46 pressures the last two years) or Matt Ioannidis (51). Onyemata probably won’t draw the same salary in the $8 million range that those two and others like them have earned, but he’ll still do well in free agency. Expect him to get low-end starter’s pay, possibly on a one-year deal as other teams bank on his continued upwards development.
