NFL free-agency rankings 2026: Top 10 players at each position - ( New Window )
Long read. How about

From the article:

John Franklin-Myers, Age 29, 3 years, $54 million


"John Franklin-Myers is by far the best pass rusher in this group, and that should be represented in his contract. Behind him, there are different rotational pieces with different skill sets for different roles. Da'Shawn Hand, Khyiris Tonga, Roy Lopez and Sebastian Joseph-Day are your run-stuffers. Denico Autry, Sheldon Rankins and Logan Hall are more pass rushers. David Onyemata can impact both phases but is getting older by NFL standards."
Thanks.

Nice read. Good info. I like Mike Evans a lot, but not at $25 mill per...Rashid Shaheed seems like a bargain.
Want no part of those WR projections

Lots of value in the IOL/DL. Feel we'd be wise to load up on relatively cheap 1 and 2 year deals, capable guys on the back 9 and some calculated prove it deals while building out the roster in the next 2 drafts.
I can appreciate their rankings...

But their projected contracts are absolutely worthless.
So Belenger is not among top 10 FA TEs

and Flott is not among top 10 CB. Meanwhile Darren Waller is listed among top 10 TE.

I'll admit I'm no expert on personel throughout the league, but even given my limited perspective and Giants bias, I find the rankings dubious.
