2016 NFL Free-Agency Class

The start of free-agency is still a good month away. Here are the top 25 players that will test the market in 2016. 

1. Von Miller, LB, Denver Broncos:

Good luck trying to lure Von Miller away from re-signing with the Broncos. The stud linebacker has helped pave the path to the Super Bowl in 2016. There is absolutely no way the Broncos let this man walk.

2. Josh Norman, CB, Carolina Panthers:

Here is another expected free agent who is playing in the Super Bowl. Josh Norman played his butt off when it was time to sign a new contract. There is hardly a chance that Carolina lets him walk as well. 

3. Alshon Jeffrey, WR, Chicago Bears:

Has had his fair share of injury problems throughout his career. Yet, receivers with his body frame and skill set are hard to find. Someone will throw a lump sum of cash his way.

4. Muhammad Wilkerson, DE, New York Jets:

The Jets have a great defensive line, even If Wilkerson, their best lineman, were to walk. Expect the franchise tag here.

5. Cordy Glenn. OT, Buffalo Bills:

Glenn emerged as one of the top tackles in 2015. He had a stellar year protecting Tyrod Taylor. He is another franchise tag possibility.

6. Eric Berry, S, Kansas City Chiefs:

Toughness is not a question for who ever signs Berry. He had a Pro-Bowl year in 2016. His versatility will be highly sought after this off-season.

7. Olivier Vernon, DE, Miami Dolphins:

Miami can only spend so much money on the defensive line. Expect Vernon to walk and get paid big time. He is an above average pass-rusher who had been overshadowed for years.

8. Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, New York Giants:

Here we have another pass-rusher who struggled to see the field in 2015 because of a devastating injury. Is he still the premier pass rusher he once was? Expect JPP to have a new home in 2016.

9. Eric Weddle, S, San Diego Chargers:

Eric Weddle is getting up there in age, but still is one of the best safeties and can sure up any secondary with solid safety play. 

10. Malik Jackson, DT, Denver Broncos:

Much like Josh Norman, Malik Jackson had a breakout year on the final year of his contract. He is now entering his prime, but do the Broncos have enough money to please him?

11. Sam Bradford, QB, Philadelphia Eagles:

The quarterback market in 2016 will be slim. It is headlined by Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford. Bradford had a solid year. Expect Philly to re-sign him.

12. Bruce Irvin, LB, Seattle Seahawks:

An underrated linebacker who didn't get much attention in Seattle. he would be a solid pick up where ever he lands. Teams will love his versatility.

13. Doug Martin, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers:

The league's number one back in 2015 in many peoples eyes. Martin had a spectacular season. He won't see the money other guys will see because of the position he plays. 

14. Kirk Cousins, QB, Washington Redskins:

Kirk Cousins led the Washington Redskins to a division title and to the playoffs. For a team that was desperate for a franchise quarterback, they will take it. I don't see Washington letting him walk.

15. Andre Smith, OT, Cincinnati Bengals:

A solid tackle for most of his career. Will he see big bucks from a team again? It seems unlikely. Expect Smith to find a new home in 2016.

16. Lamar Miller, RB, Miami Dolphins:

One of the more underrated running backs the league has to offer. He is a pass catching talent and has progressed each year. Fantasy football owners will keep an eye on wherever he lands this offseason.

17. Janoris Jenkins, CB, Los Angeles Rams:

Now a solid starting cornerback in this league, Jenkins will provide consistency to which ever team tries to sign him.

18. Brock Osweiler, QB, Denver Broncos:

Although Peyton Manning has led the Broncos to the promise land, he more than likely won't be able to do it again. The Broncos liked what they saw during Osweiler's brief stint. He will be signed quickly and is a priority of the team.

19. Danny Trevathan, LB, Denver Broncos:

Denver can only re-sign so many players. With Miller and Osweiler being sure bets, will Trevathan, a solid young linebacker, be pleased making less money? Doubt it. 

20. Matt Forte, RB, Chicago Bears:

Forte, year in and year out, will bring consistency to the running back position. Although he suffered injuries last year that led him to miss games, he was still productive at his age. He will find a team. 

21. Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB, New York Jets:

Fitzpatrick had a career year in 2016. It will be interesting to see what the Jets want to do with him. He led them to a 10-6 record and just outside of the playoffs. 

22. Derrick Johnson, LB, Kansas City Chiefs:

Johnson was a tackling machine in 2015. Kansas City has always been known for their tremendous linebacking core. Yet, will they let the old vet test the market?

23. Chris Ivory, RB, New York Jets:

This 1,000 yard rusher will look to beef up his wallet in 2016. It looks more than likey that He and the Jets will part ways. Yet, do not leave it out of question that he will resign with New York.

24. Russell Okung, OT, Seattle Seahawks:

The Seattle Seahawk offensive line did not play well for the most part in 2015. We see what Russell Wilson can do with a clean pocket. Expect Okung to be resigned here.

25. Prince Amukamara, CB, New York Giants:

Prince is a slightly-above-average corner. Solid corners are hard to come by in this league. Some one will reach for him.
