As NFL free agency approaches, the landscape of potential player moves is becoming increasingly clear. With the franchise-tag window now closed, several significant players have already been tagged or re-signed. Notable names like Tee Higgins and Trey Smith have received tags, while Zack Baun and Osa Odighizuwa have secured re-signings. This development has reduced the pool of top talent, leaving an already thin class even more depleted.
Despite these movements, many high-profile athletes, such as Sam Darnold, have managed to avoid the franchise tag. Additionally, some players have recently been released, including a standout in the top five: former New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams. As teams prepare for the upcoming season, this updated ranking of the top 150 unrestricted free agents provides insights into the current market.
