"Though we still have 12 days until Super Bowl LX, it's important to remember that NFL free agency is only six weeks away. The offseason is coming quickly. Teams can discuss terms on new deals with players over the March 9-10 legal negotiation period before the free agency window officially opens at 4 p.m. ET on March 11. Who could land big new contracts?"
"Let's stack the free agent class, starting with the 2024 sack leader. What he brings: Hendrickson is a relentless defender off the edge, with a deep toolbox of counters and a knack for making plays late in the down. In seven games this season, he had four sacks. His 17.5 sacks and 65 pressures in 2024 were league highs. Hendrickson would immediately upgrade the defensive line for just about any team."
"What he brings: With 22 receptions of 20 or more yards in 2025 (fourth most in the league), Pickens has the explosive ability to flip the field. That skill will lead to big money in the open market. Pickens also finished third in the NFL with 1,429 receiving yards. His ability to run routes at all three levels boosts his free agent profile even more."
Free agency begins March 11 at 4 p.m. ET, with a legal negotiation window on March 9-10 allowing teams to discuss terms. A projected top-50 list of impending unrestricted free agents weighs factors such as age, positional value, expected future production, scheme versatility and league buzz. The list will shift before free agency as teams extend or franchise-tag players and as more players enter the market via cuts. An updated top-100 will appear in March. Highlighted players include Hendrickson (17.5 sacks, 65 pressures in 2024), Pickens (1,429 receiving yards; 22 receptions of 20+ yards) and Linderbaum (97.2% pass-block win rate tied for second).
