1 Realistic Free-Agent Target for Every NFL Team

While not every team will be able to sign a premier free agent, most will dip their toes in the market in some way or another.Here, we will target one player for every team who would be realistic considering cap space, need and who will likely hit the free-agent market. As a result, teams have mostly been able to ignore Peterson and target the opposite cornerback.However, the 2019 free-agent class has a lot of talent at the defensive back position, including one player who makes a lot of sense for the Cardinals: first-round pick Morris Claiborne of the Dallas Cowboys and New York Jets.Claiborne has shed some of his injury concerns, starting 30 games over the last two seasons. In 2018, he had the best season of his career, starting all 16 games and recording 15 pass deflections and four interceptions.Nelson's most valuable trait is that he can play both in the slot and on the outside, giving him some position flex. Over the last three seasons, Thomas has played in just 29 of a possible 48 games.Despite the injury concerns, expect the Cowboys to be aggressive in trying to sign the league's best safety.When new coaches get hired, it is not uncommon for them to bring a familiar player or two with them. While the team does have a few young receivers who could develop, Green Bay needs to find a suitable No. 2 this offseason.One receiver scheduled to hit free agency who could provide some value is John Brown, formerly of the Arizona Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens.Brown is a smaller receiver, but he can stretch the field from the outside and in the slot. The team is likely going to need to save a lot of cap space to retainsome of their top-end players, so expect them to go cheap at cornerback. The Jaguars signing Foles early in free agency seems like a foregone conclusion.The Kansas City Chiefs were a play away from making the Super Bowl last season. Quarterback Kirk Cousins was too often forced to get rid of the ball quicker than he wanted to, making the Vikings' pass offense less dynamic than it should be considering their weapons.One of the best, most realistic options for the Vikings in free agency is guard Rodger Saffold of the Los Angeles Rams. Unless the team signs Earl Thomas, it won't be able to replace him with a player of the same quality in free agency.Instead, the Giants will be looking for value and could take some chances in hopes to find talent. For a team that needs weapons on offense, Bell does make sense in New York.The Oakland Raiders have a ton of cap space to spend this offseason, so expect them to target multiple high-end free agents, especially on defense. He would be an ideal fit opposite Conley.Ever since the team released DeSean Jackson in 2014, the Eagles have cycled through players, hoping to find a deep-threat receiver who can take the top off the defense.However, with the Eagles having so many free agents this offseason, they will be hard pressed to find enough cap space to pay a premier receiver. The top two pass-rushers for Seattle in 2018 are scheduled to hit free agency (Frank Clark and Dion Jordan), and the team will need to replenish some of its depth if those two leave. If the Seahawks find out that Clark and Jordan receive too much interest on the open market, they could turn their attention to free agency to find a pass rush.Ezekiel Ansah is an athletic edge-rusher who has shown his Pro Bowl ability in the NFL. Not only is he a great pass-rusher, but he can also make plays in the run game, tallying a total of 162 solo tackles.However, he dealt with injuries for most of the 2018 season, and there are questions about just how healthy he is. One former Cardinal who would fill a big need for the Buccaneers would be free safety Tyrann Mathieu.Mathieu has quite the resume in his NFL career, starting 73 total games between stops in Arizona and Houston. He continues to be one of the league's best playmakers, recording 13 career interceptions and four forced fumbles.Tampa Bay allowed the seventh-most passing yards in the league in 2018, giving up nearly 260 passing yards per game, according to Team Rankings. Corey Davis took a leap last season, but the team needs another competent receiver.The wide receiver market is shallow, but there are players who can make an impact, including Tyrell Williams. The team does have other options, however, including signing a quarterback in free agency.One option could be Teddy Bridgewater, a former first-round pick and Pro Bowl quarterback.
