The NFL offseason may seem uninteresting to many, because it is not the same action that is experienced when there are games, but it’s hugely important, from free agency to franchise player tags.
Why is this time of free agency interesting? Well basically because here begins to orchestrate what is coming for the teams in the 2023 season.
And there are several good players that are entering this market called free agency, so, several teams can lick their mustaches with the possibility of signing a crack.
Peeeeeeeeeeeero, in addition to free agency, that beautiful era is also being lived where the players who want to leave a team, they stay for the franchise player tag.
It looks like a Yu-Gi-Oh-style trap card, but it is the last resort of some teams to retain their free agent playersthere are several and in the following note we explain what they are.
The best players who are in free agency, although some may be labeled a franchise player in the NFL
In accordance with Adam Schefterthe players who could be eligible for franchise player tags are: Lamar JacksonDaniel Jones, Saquon BarkleyGeno Smith, Tony PollardDalton Schultz, Orlando Brown Jr.Jessie Bates, Daron Payne y Josh Jacobsalthough nothing is certain in free agency.
Lamar Jackson – QB, the best free agent in the NFL
He was already MVP of the NFL and he is about to become a free agent, one of the best in history, because the negotiation with the Ravens was stalled for a long time.
The Ravens could apply the franchise tag to him and have him stay in Baltimore, but also, he could go to another team, although there really aren’t that many options for him to find a better franchise than the Ravens.
Javon Hargrave – Tacle defensivo
Possibly he is not as mediatic as other players, but he is much more effective than the vast majority. He is one of the defensive tackles who had more than 10 sacks for Eagles.
He is 30 years old and still has a lot of talent to give to any team that wants him. He is one of the most prominent free agents and with a salary not as high as others… a real bargain.
Geno Smith – QB
If this quarterback made the list a year ago, he would be one of the least attractive, but in his last season he managed to be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
Little was expected of him and more when he replaced Russell Wilson in Seahawks, but it was one of the highlightshe was the Pro Bowl and he was on the shortlist for the comeback of the year in the NFL Honors … so, he is one of the free agents that will be looking for.
Derek Carr – QB, one of the most controversial
He didn’t do badly last year with the Raiders, but he didn’t do badly either. and the coaching staff got fed up with him, benched him, and he was eventually released from the Las Vegas franchise.
It was a period drama, but Derek Carr is a reliable QB and is available in free agency for 2023already had an interview with Jets, although nothing has been said.
Jessie Bates – Free Safety
Few are the players who are as dominant as him, on the perimeter. And he will surely be a free agent by 2023 in the NFL, because the Bengals already franchised him last season.
So available, he could be one of the most sought after in all of football, because such an experienced and quality player is always needed in any team.
Daniel Jones – QB
Giants have a broncón, because In the 2022 season, he made that necessary leap in quality to be the QB that the franchise neededunfortunately it was in his last year of his rookie contract.
They could renegotiate, yes, but they haven’t done it yet and at the moment, Daniel Jones is a free agent, although they could also place the franchise player label on himsurely this will happen, but several teams do not rule it out.
Saquon Barkley – running back
They see the reason for the Giants’ rant, because they are two of their best offensive players, so, he will have to get his movements right to be able to compete in the following season.
The running back is one of the most prominent in the NFLNo one doubts his quality, but injuries have diminished him a lot, but that does not mean that some teams are looking for him as a free agent… the Giants need to release him easily.
Josh Jacobs – runner
In 2022 he dominated as a running back in the NFL, but the Raiders can still trade himSo he could be an interesting free agent for several teams.
Tony Pollard – running back
Cowboys found in Tony Pollard to a great player capable of supporting the team’s rushing offenseBecause Ezekiel Elliott is no longer that starting player for Dallas.
So, Cowboys will have to make an extra effort, in terms of moneyto keep Pollard, either with contract renegotiation or franchise player tag, because there are several who would add him to their team.
Jimmy Garoppolo – QB
He’s a proven quarterback, also injury prone and really, it’s a doddle to sign Jimmy G as a free agent for the 2023 seasonso the need for some team could help him find a good contract.
Miles Sanders – running back
There are several runners available as free agents for 2023 and Miles Sanders is one of the most prominentbecause he had an impressive season with the Eagles.
