NFL free agency is finally here as every team will be looking to upgrade their rosters. Free agency isn't as important as the NFL Draft, but buying a star can help teams get over the edge. Remember last year when the went on a ? , and certainly worked out for head coach Doug Pederson and general manager Trent Baalke. Who will be the team that shells out millions and millions of dollars this offseason? More NFL free agency There are plenty of big names out there searching for new deals, and plenty of interested teams looking to make that key addition that gets them into the playoffs or even the Super Bowl. Below, we will examine the best free agents at each position, and a few potential landing spots that make sense for them. BAL QB #8 CMP%62.3YDs2242TD17INT7YD/Att6.88 Landing spots: Ravens, Falcons, Raiders Near the end of the 2022 regular season, I published a "bold predictions" offseason post, and one of those bold predictions was for things to get me sy with Jackson and the . Jackson did receive the non-exclusive franchise tag, meaning he can negotiate with other teams and Baltimore can match any offer -- as we know, lightning strikes are more predictable than the NFL. On the surface, the would appear to be an ideal landing spot for Jackson. Not only do they need a quarterback, but they have plenty of available cap space. They're also Kurt Suzuki Jersey in a different conference than the Ravens and have a star tight end in , who could truly be unlocked and evolve into the player we all thought he would be coming out of the University of Florida. However, did report that the team is currently not pursuing him. Things could change, but they do appear to be on the outside looking in on the former MVP. As for the , they have a new-ish head coach and are looking for a new quarterback. If I'm him, I'm swinging for the fences. The leash is short, and you reside in a division with , and Sean Payton. Jackson playing with and would be fun to watch. CAR RB #6 Att259Yds1269TD11FL2 Landing spots: Eagles, Bills, Dolphins, Bears Sanders is coming off a stellar 2022 season where he rushed for a career-high 1,269 yards and 11 touchdowns while helping Philadelphia win the NFC. While a return to the Eagles makes plenty of succe s, he will have suitors around the league. In the AFC East, both the Bills and Dolphins could use help in the running game. Buffalo has struggled to find consistency on the ground over the last few years and the po sible addition of Sanders could help them grind teams away late in games. As for the Dolphins, pairing a player as talented as Sanders with head coach Mike McDaniel would be fascinating. Finally, you can't discount the Bears considering they have a boatload of cap space and have David Montgomery hitting free agency. Sanders could have a similar role that he had in Philly playing alongside another mobile quarterback in Justin Fields. LV WR #16 TAR96REC67REC YDs804REC TD6FL2 Landing spots: Packers, Giants, Texans Is Meyers the best available free agent wideout over players like and ? He may just be. Sure, Bill Belichick is a legendary coach, but that offense was not good last season. Meyers caught 67 pa ses for 804 yards and a career-high six touchdowns in 2022 R.A. Dickey Jersey . I think he could be ready to take off, and a change of scenery would be good for him. With the , Meyers would make an immediate impact for or . The same can be said for the , who are looking to revamp their wide receiving corps. I think a team like the would chase Meyers as well -- a young player who may not come too expensive, and could continue to grow alongside a young talent like Bryce Young or C.J. Stroud. HOU TE #83 TAR89REC57REC YDs577REC TD5FL1 Landing spots: Panthers, Colts, Commanders Schultz is the top tight end looking for a new contract this offseason, and many are expecting the 26-year-old to get paid. The are a team that could be looking for a new tight end. The quarterback position is more important, but that new quarterback will need a versatile yet reliable security blanket that makes the offense better as a whole. Frank Reich is an offensive-minded head coach. He will want to add a new, young weapon. Speaking of Reich, his former team could be interested in adding a tight end as well. and are fun players Phil Niekro Jersey , but Schultz would be an automatic upgrade in Indianapolis. I also threw in the as a potential landing spot. I understand fans wouldn't be excited about that, but Washington could be eyeing a new TE1, and another weapon who Eric Bieniemy can utilize. CIN OT #75 Landing spots: Chiefs, Jets, Bears There was a point last offseason where it looked like Brown was done with the . Ultimately he played on the franchise tag, and won a Super Bowl ring because of it. I would re-sign with the Chiefs and help establish a dynasty behind Patrick Mahomes' talent, even if I don't reset the market at my respective position. If Brown is done in Kansas City, I feel like the would be a great landing spot. The Jets as a franchise are on the right track, but they just need a quarterback and protection for said quarterack. Signing a franchise left tackle would go a long way for New York. The have the most cap space for free agency, and could use some dollars on the top left tackle if he gets there. needs better protection, and while I don't want to totally ignore the fact that was rather impre sive as a rookie, Brown is an obvious Jose Ramirez Jersey upgrade Chicago can afford. PIT OG #73 Landing spots: Rams, Broncos, Colts Seumalo is one of the best guards available in this free agency cla s, and one reason why is that he has experience playing on both the left and right sides. The ' offensive line struggled mightily in 2022, so the versatile Seumalo would be a natural fit. The also need to upgrade the offensive line if they want to get the most out of . Again, Seumalo's versatility would have really helped Denver in 2022, and could be on the way out. The just hired former offensive coordinator Shane Steichen, and he could bring Seumalo in to play right guard. That's a position Indy has struggled to lock down. MIN DE Landing spots: Chiefs, Bears, Ravens Believe it or not, Davenport is Pete Prisco's No. 6 this offseason! He recorded just half a sack in 15 games played last year, but his 19 percent pa s-rush win rate over the past three seasons ranks 14th, per Pro Football Focus, and his 14.2 percent pre sure rate ranks 17th among pa s rushers. The Chiefs are a landing spot for Davenport as he could be a replacement. You have to throw the Bears in there as well, since they need pa s-rush help and have the money to compete with anyone. Finally, I think the Ravens would be a fascinating landing spot for Davenport. and are free agents. Davenport could be a replacement for them. SF DT #98 Landing spots: Seahawks, Cardinals, Falcons "Gravedigger" was a big reason for Philly's succe s in 2022, as he racked up 11 sacks and 60 combined tackles. Hargrave is also one of the interior defensive linemen who can rush the pa ser, and he's going to be in high demand this offseason. The was a team I picked out for him earlier this offseason as Will Smith Jersey he would be a great addition to what was the third-worst run defense in the league last year. Jonathan Gannon could make it a point to bring Hargrave with him to Arizona. The certainly could use his presence on the defensive line as they begin this rebuild. Maybe the Falcons aren't the most attractive free-agent destination, but they have the second-most cap space in the NFL, and could use an interior star that also can pa s-rush. CHI MLB #49 Landing spots: Commanders, Broncos, Texans Edmunds is a player who can make some nice money for himself on the open market this offseason. The Commanders have been searching for a true middle linebacker for a couple years now, and instead of moving and around, how about Ron Rivera goes out and signs a proven MLB? The same goes for the Broncos, who have one of the best defenses in the NFL. and were tackling monsters, but Edmunds would be an immediate upgrade. Additionally, the Texans could be looking for a new defensive leader as this team embarks on a rebuild. I bet would love h
