Which five impending NFL free agents are the biggest impact players available on the market?
The 2014-15 NFL season is just one game from being over, and every team but the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks are focusing on the upcoming offseason.
Free agency is going to be a very busy time period once again with plenty of player movement, and there are some very high-profile playmakers that are going to be hitting the market. Names like DeMarco Murray, Ndamukong Suh, and plenty of other players will be available. Teams will be looking to franchise some of the best players, but there are others that are going to make it to the open market.
It isn’t every offseason that this type of star talent is available to be signed in free agency. The most dynamic running back in the NFL, the most dominant defensive lineman, star wide receivers, above average offensive linemen, and nearly everything that teams could want on the defensive side of the football. This offseason could very well be a turning point for quite a few different teams if they play their cards right.
Needless to say, it is going to be a very entertaining offseason. Both free agency and the draft are going to have plenty of teams looking to move around and make moves, and it is going to result in one of the busiest offseasons that the league has seen in quite some time.
Obviously the free agent market isn’t for everyone, but it can completely change teams. New England was able to sign both Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner last offseason, who are two of the main keys in getting them to the Super Bowl this year. Green Bay snagged Julius Peppers, which was exactly what they needed to get their defense back on track.
All of that being said, free agency is all about taking leaps forward rather than building through the draft. Teams that are on the cusp of competing for the playoffs can solidify their postseason chances, while teams that were contending this season can make their Super Bowl chances skyrocket.
