With the NFL free agency period approaching, key free agents are set to negotiate new deals as the legal negotiating window opens soon. ESPN's NFL Nation reporters have simulated the market for seven significant players, focusing on realistic contract offers within the constraints of each team's salary cap. This exercise aims to mirror the negotiation strategies teams would use rather than a competitive bidding process. The article sets the stage for who may switch teams or remain in their current franchises as the offseason unfolds.
