This year's free agency pool doesn't boast significant depth at the tight end spot. However, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/juwan-johnson/1054">Juwan Johnson</a> emerges as a promising talent, particularly with his capabilities as a pass-catching threat. His potential to make an impact in this role could offer teams a valuable asset as they look to bolster their offensive options.

Fresh off clinching a Super Bowl with the Eagles, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/mekhi-becton/1558">Mekhi Becton</a> showcased his formidable skills on one of the NFL's elite offensive lines.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/baron-browning/2265">Baron Browning </a>has emerged as a relentless presence on the edge, but his main challenge remains staying healthy. Should Browning manage to keep off the injury list, his influence is sure to resonate profoundly with any team that snaps him up in free agency.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/levi-onwuzurike/2099">Levi Onwuzurike</a> has demonstrated his potential impact on the field, contingent on his health. Recently, his availability has fluctuated due to health issues, yet he continues to exhibit significant bursts of talent when active, notably his impressive pass-rush win rate.
Predicted Landing Spot: Baltimore Ravens

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/keenan-allen/1123">Keenan Allen</a> remained a key asset in the red zone for the Bears in 2024, yet his impact from the slot fell short of expectations. Could this signal the start of a downward trend for the skilled wideout? That might just depend on the size of his market this offseason.
Predicted Landing Spot: Los Angeles Rams

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/dayo-odeyingbo/1849">Dayo Odeyingbo</a> has consistently improved year over year, making him a standout in this free-agent class. His potential for a breakout season is evident, suggesting he could command a significant payday. There's a real sense that Odeyingbo's full capabilities are yet to be tapped, underlining his appealing upside.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/russell-wilson/2217">Russell Wilson's</a> future in the NFL is shrouded in uncertainty as he enters a pivotal stage of his career. The key question is whether he will remain in Pittsburgh or if the seasoned quarterback will be on the move to what would be the fourth stop in his illustrious journey through the league. Despite the doubts, Wilson maintains that he still has valuable contributions to make on the field.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/bobby-wagner/1396">Bobby Wagner</a> remains a vintage talent in the NFL. Last season, Wagner was instrumental in the Commanders' late-season push, positioning him favorably for a lucrative free agency deal should he pursue it. With a championship-caliber background and an uncanny ability to enhance his game well into his career, Wagner is a good bet to continue finding success.

In the ever-evolving narrative of NFL free agency, running backs often find themselves grappling with the challenge of securing lucrative contracts. This brings us to <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/najee-harris/2169">Najee Harris</a>—will this trend persist for the stalwart Alabama alum? Harris has delivered steady performances for the Steelers, but one wonders if a new team might provide the catalyst he needs to elevate his game and boost his stats.

After a less-than-stellar beginning with the Steelers, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/dan-moore/2174">Dan Moore</a> turned the tables with a commendable performance last season. The real question now is whether Moore’s resurgence might have set his price tag beyond what Pittsburgh is willing to pay. If so, could a hefty contract be waiting for him elsewhere?
Landing Spot: Moore signed with the Titans (four years, $82 million)

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/alaric-jackson/1222">Alaric Jackson</a> has been a steadfast presence on the blindside for the Rams these past two seasons. His reliability has not only shored up their offensive line but also carved out a significant market for him as he approaches free agency. The question on everyone's mind now is, where will he play next?

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/chase-young/2643">Chase Young </a>may not have consistently met the lofty expectations set for his NFL career, but he remains a potent force in the pass rush game. For teams looking to bolster their edge presence, Young represents a solid addition to enhance their defensive lineup.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/azeez-ojulari/1024">Azeez Ojulari </a>continues to be a formidable presence in the pass rush, though his role has been primarily as a situational player, limiting his time on the field. Despite the restricted snap count, the value of generating pressure on defense cannot be understated, and Ojulari consistently delivers in this aspect.
Predicted Landing Spot: New England Patriots

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/justin-reid/1622">Justin Reid</a> consistently excels in the subtleties of playing safety, particularly in his support against the run game. Market signals suggest that Reid might be in line for a substantial payday this season. However, it seems increasingly unlikely that he'll secure that new contract with Kansas City.

As time marches on, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/calais-campbell/2488">Calais Campbell</a> persists as a formidable presence in the NFL, a truth that was evident once again last season in Miami. Campbell's ability to perform in stopping the run remains unblemished. The sole uncertainty now is whether he chooses to extend his illustrious career.
Predicted Landing Spot: Detroit Lions

Recently, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/bj-hill/2056">B.J. Hill </a>has been a jack-of-all-trades for the Bengals. However, given the upcoming contract negotiations with key players, it's possible he could find himself playing elsewhere in the near future. Hill has been a reliable force in the interior defense, offering a level of security that's often undervalued.

As <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/harrison-smith/1273">Harrison Smith's</a> career progresses, it's difficult to picture him donning any uniform other than that of the Minnesota Vikings. Rumors swirl about his possible retirement, yet should he return to the gridiron, it's almost certain he'll be lining up for the Vikings once more.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/demarcus-lawrence/2444">DeMarcus Lawrence </a>was off to a strong start in 2024 before the injury bug struck, sidelining him for the rest of the season after Week 4. Even in limited action, the veteran pass rusher remained a disruptive force up front. Now, with free agency looming, the big question is how his Lisfranc injury will impact his market. Will teams hesitate, or will his track record outweigh durability concerns?

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/morgan-moses/2608">Morgan Moses </a>remains a rock-solid presence in pass protection, a skill set that should help extend his NFL career. Even with a reduced snap count last season, he continued to showcase his value as a key piece of the Jets offensive line. Now, the question is: Will a team recognize the veteran stability he still brings to the trenches?

Over the past two seasons, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/trevon-moehrig/1803">Tre’von Moehrig</a> has steadily elevated his game, showing consistent growth across multiple facets.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/brandon-scherff/2752">Brandon Scherff</a> has battled his share of injuries over the years, but he’s strung together three straight seasons of staying on the field—something that won’t go unnoticed as he hits free agency. With his durability concerns fading into the rearview, teams in need of interior line help should have plenty of interest in the veteran guard.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/ernest-jones/1230">Ernest Jones IV</a> has been racking up impressive numbers lately, proving to be a force in the heart of any linebacker unit. His physical, downhill style brings plenty of pop to a defense.

Undoubtedly, several teams will be looking to add to their running back coffers ahead of the upcoming NFL season. One team that's predicted to make a splash in the draft is the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/dallas-cowboys-depth-chart">Dallas Cowboys</a>. If they add <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/ashton-jeanty/23544">Ashton Jeanty</a> as expected, the Cowboys would likely want a mentor/insurance policy to ease Jeanty's transition to the pros. In that regard, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/jk-dobbins/16352">J.K. Dobbins</a> has plenty to offer.

The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/chicago-bears-depth-chart">Chicago Bears</a>' offensive line has long been a point of weakness. Despite investing heavily in other positions, Chicago's offense has struggled, and its offensive line is in tatters. <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/patrick-mekari/2605">Patrick Mekari</a> would be an immediate upgrade for the Bears, and his versatility would be a bonus heading into the draft and OTAs.

A reunion with one of his former clubs could be in the cards for <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/dante-fowler/2456">Dante Fowler Jr.</a> this offseason. Fowler's most productive seasons came with the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/atlanta-falcons-depth-chart">Atlanta Falcons</a>, and he rekindled that acumen this past season. With Atlanta desperately needing to upgrade its defensive front, Fowler Jr. could be a familiar face that reinvigorates their pass rush.

The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/detroit-lions-depth-chart">Detroit Lions</a> weren't the same team after <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/aidan-hutchinson/2148">Aidan Hutchinson</a> went down with the season-ending leg injury. Even though Hutchinson will be ready for the start of next season, the lesson was learned, and upgrading their defensive line should be a priority this offseason. <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/chauncey-golston/2477">Chauncey Golston's</a> value is on the rise, and jumping ship to a top contender could be a priority for the Iowa product.

Several teams need to make meaningful upgrades to their secondaries, and the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/tampa-bay-buccaneers-depth-chart">Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a> are near the front of the pack. The Bucs may want to pursue a long-term option via the draft, but <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/stephon-gilmore/2481">Stephon Gilmore</a> would be a better short-term option. The two-time All-Pro could be a solid mentor for a young prospect while still having a shot at making another playoff run in his autumn years.
