The NFL Free Agency period is about to begin and things will unfold at a fast pace. This article provides a prediction on where several of those free agents will land.
NFL Free Agency starts this week and we could expect the pace to be fast and furious. There are a handful of teams with a ton of money to spend like the Cleveland Browns who have over $100 million in cap space.
The big names on the free agent market include Dont’a Hightower, Kevin Zeitler, Alshon Jeffery and Stephon Gilmore. All four of those players will get big-money contracts with some potentially record-setting deals.
Overall, this year’s free agent crop is a little underwhelming and lacking that elite level player. There are going to be a large number of players receiving contracts that don’t necessarily match up with their talent level.
The biggest rumor out there now is that quarterback Mike Glennon could land a deal that pays him nearly $12 million per year. Glennon has some raw talent and starting experience, but has yet to show he can win in the NFL.
Signing him to that type of deal is definitely a risk but shows the lack of quarterback options in the league. It’ll be interesting to see if a bidding war starts for Glennon and just how high the contract numbers climb.
