2027 NFL Free Agency Big Board After Trade Deadline Passes

The 2026 NFL trade deadline was a wild affair, with several big-name players being moved in blockbuster fashion. Now that the trade window has closed, so too has the opportunity to add premium veteran talent for the remainder of 2026.

However, teams looking to improve for the 2027 season won't have to wait long for their chance. The new league year and free agency will officially open at 4 p.m. ET on March 11. The legal-contact window will open two days prior.

That's only four months from now, for those keeping track.

The good news for teams hoping to stock up for a 2027 run is that next year's free-agent class is loaded with high-level starters and quality role players.

Here, we'll take an early look at the 2027 free-agent class and rank the top 50 players based on factors such as past production, player upside, age, positional value, positional market depth, and player health. You'll also find contract projections and potential suitors for the top 10 headliners.

Nos. 50-46

Panthers OT Iken Ekwonu

50. Kyler Murray, QB, Minnesota Vikings

Quarterback Kyler Murray hasn't exactly reestablished himself as a premier starter with the Minnesota Vikings this season. However, he's still a former Pro Bowler and a viable dual-threat signal-caller who won't turn 30 until August. He should draw interest as a bridge option from quarterback-needy teams.

49. Daron Payne, DT, Washington Commanders

Daron Payne is currently on injured reserve with a fracture in his left foot. However, the 29-year-old has regularly been among the league's most disruptive interior defenders when healthy. In six games before the injury, he recorded 14 tackles, a sack, and nine quarterback pressures.

48. Chase McLaughlin, K, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Kickers aren't typically viewed as premier free-agent targets. However, any team that has experienced kicking woes in 2026 will tell you that good kickers are a valuable commodity. Chase McLaughlin has been one of the league's best this season. At age 30, he should have several more strong seasons ahead of him.

47. Arik Armstead, DL, Jacksonville Jaguars

Defensive lineman Arik Armstead will turn 33 this month and may not excel in any one area. However, he remains a full-time starter for the Jacksonville Jaguars, who can do a little bit of everything and do it well.

46. Ikem Ekwonu, OT, Carolina Panthers

Ikem Ekwonu is a bit of a wild card, as he remains sidelined with a torn patellar tendon in his right knee from last season's playoffs. However, starting-caliber left tackles aren't easy to find. Ekwonu has started all 65 games he's appeared in (including playoffs).

Having turned only 26 in October, Ekwonu will interest a lot of teams as long as he's healthy at the start of the offseason.

Nos. 45-41

Commanders LB Fankie Luvu

45. Tony Pollard, RB, Tennessee Titans

The running back position has seen a bit of a value bump over the last couple of years, as Tony Pollard remains a quality starter. He can get tough yards, break long runs, and catch passes out of the backfield. While he'll turn 30 in April, he has remained a high-volume back for the Tennessee Titans in 2026.

44. Patrick Queen, LB, Pittsburgh Steelers

Patrick Queen entered the NFL as a first-round pick out of LSU in 2020. While he has never quite played up to his draft status, he has established himself as a quality starter with a pair of Pro Bowls on his resume. So far this season, he has recorded 60 tackles and 2.5 sacks while allowing an opposing passer rating of just 51.4 in coverage.

43. Kevin Byard, S, New England Patriots

Safety Kevin Byard may be 33 years old, but he remains a starting-caliber safety and has fared very well in his first season with the New England Patriots. The three-time first-team All-Pro brings both production and versatility to the position and should interest several teams on a one- or two-year deal.

42. Kayvon Thibodeaux, Edge, New York Giants

The New York Giants drafted Kayvon Thibodeaux fifth overall in 2022. Their investment hasn't quite paid off, as the Oregon product has reached double-digit sacks only once in his career. Still, he possesses plenty of physical upside and will only turn 26 in December.

41. Frankie Luvu, LB, Washington Commanders

Frankie Luvu brings a ton of versatility to his position. He has played both inside and outside as an off-ball linebacker and served as an edge defender—one who logged eight sacks and 18 QB pressures in 2024. He was limited by a groin injury early in the season, but he is healthy now and is still only 30 years old.

Nos. 40-36

AP Photo/Matt Slocum

Rams WR Davante Adams

40. K'Lavon Chaisson, Edge, Washington Commanders

K'Lavon Chaisson was a first-round pick in 2020 but has really come into his own as a pass-rusher over the past few seasons. After recording just five sacks in his first four seasons, he logged 5.5 with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2023 and 7.5 with the Patriots last year. The 27-year-old is on pace for another seven-sack season with Washington this year.

39. DaVon Hamilton, DL, Jacksonville Jaguars

DaVon Hamilton recently landed on injured reserve with a torn quad. However, the longtime Jaguars starter was in the midst of another strong campaign when he got injured. The 29-year-old started all seven games in which he appeared and was graded 18th overall among interior defenders by Pro Football Focus after Week 8.

A massive (6'4", 335 lbs) run stopper on the interior, Hamilton should draw significant interest as long as his recovery goes smoothly.

38. Malcolm Koonce, Edge, Las Vegas Raiders

Maxx Crosby rightfully gets all of the attention whenever the Las Vegas Raiders' pass rush is discussed. However, Malcolm Koonce has been a vastly underrated complement when healthy over the past few seasons. He's still only 28 years old.

37. Jeremy Chinn, S, Las Vegas Raiders

Safety Jeremy Chinn is another underrated member of the Raiders' defense who may garner more interest than many might expect on the open market. He can fill a variety of roles on the back end of a defense and won't turn 29 until February.

36. Davante Adams, WR, Los Angeles Rams

Los Angeles Rams receiver Davante Adams will turn 34 in December and is currently sidelined with a significant hamstring injury. His allure in free agency will largely hinge on how he performs after his expected return later in the season.

Before the injury, though, Adams was fantastic, catching 30 balls for 480 yards and four touchdowns in six games.

Nos. 35-31

Packers CB Keisean Nixon

35. T.J. Hockenson, TE, Minnesota Vikings

Over the past few seasons, T.J. Hockenson has largely been overshadowed by Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison in Minnesota's offense. However, he's an above-average starting tight end who can block with the best of them and create legitimate mismatches in the passing game.

34. Dre Greenlaw, LB, San Francisco 49ers

Linebacker Dre Greenlaw landed back with the San Francisco 49ers in the offseason. He's been spectacular when healthy. In seven starts, the 29-year-old has recorded 57 tackles, three tackles for loss, 27 solo stops, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery. He has allowed an opposing passer rating of 89.4 in coverage.

33. Chase Brown, RB, Cincinnati Bengals

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown has seemingly regressed in the first half of 2026. However, he's still a capable dual-threat back who topped 1,300 scrimmage yards in both 2024 and 2025. He'll only turn 27 in March.

32. Ben Powers, G, Denver Broncos

Ben Powers has been a decidedly average starter this season for the Denver Broncos. However, the market will be thin with starting-caliber offensive linemen. The 30-year-old has started all nine games in 2026 and has 91 career starts (including playoffs) on his resume.

31. Keisean Nixon, CB, Green Bay Packers

Keisean Nixon is a bit on the smaller side at 5'10" and 200 pounds. He won't be a fit for teams that prefer longer cornerbacks. However, the Green Bay Packers special-teams-ace-turned-starter can provide a lot of roster versatility.

A two-time first-team All-Pro as a return specialist, the 29-year-old can play inside and outside in a defense. He has allowed an opposing passer rating of just 73.6 this season.

Nos. 30-26

AP Photo/Gary McCullough

Colts WR Josh Downs

30. Grover Stewart, DT, Indianapolis Colts

Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Grover Stewart hasn't garnered as much attention as former teammate DeForest Buckner, who was just traded. However, the 3-year-old is a quality run-stuffer who has logged 28 tackles, a half-sack, and two tackles for loss this season.

29. Khalil Mack, Edge, Los Angeles Chargers

Khalil Mack is a future Hall of Famer. He also happens to be 35 years old and probably won't be a top target for teams seeking long-term options.

That said, Mack is still a very productive defender who will appeal to contenders. He's played on a winless defense in 2026 and has still notched 22 tackles, three sacks, five tackles for loss, and 11 quarterback pressures.

28. Riq Woolen, CB, Philadelphia Eagles

Riq Woolen has merely been a serviceable starter for the Philadelphia Eagles this season, though Philly's defense has been an overall disappointment. The 27-year-old notched 12 interceptions and allowed an opposing passer rating of only 70.6 in four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. At 6'4" and 210 pounds, he'll interest teams that prefer bigger corners with ball skills.

27. Marlon Humphrey, CB, Baltimore Ravens

Marlon Humphrey will turn 31 next summer, but he remains an above-average starter. The four-time Pro Bowler has played 79 percent of the defensive snaps this season and has allowed an opposing passer rating of just 80.6 in coverage.

26. Josh Downs, WR, Kansas City Chiefs

Josh Downs has been a fine complementary receiver in his four seasons with the Colts, though both he and Indy's offense have been in a bit of a slump this season. Despite being just 5'9" and 171 pounds, the 25-year-old has been a steady producer who has 2,494 receiving yards in 56 career games.

Downs was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs on Tuesday and could significantly boost his stock by playing with Patrick Mahomes over the second half of the season.

Nos. 25-21

AP Photo/Matt Slocum

Rams G Kevin Dotson

25. Uchenna Nwosu, Edge, Seattle Seahawks

Uchenna Nwosu is currently dealing with an ankle injury. Seattle will be happy to get him back in the pass-rushing rotation. He recorded seven sacks, seven tackles for loss, and 23 quarterback pressures last season.

Nwosu will turn 30 in December and should interest multiple teams seeking rotational edge help in the spring.

24. Jaylon Moore, OT, Kansas City Chiefs

Jaylon Moore is not an elite offensive tackle. However, he's a good starter who will likely cash in during an offseason with few free-agent options at the position. The former San Francisco 49ers backup has found a larger role with the Chiefs and is still only 28 years old.

23. DJ Turner II, CB, Cincinnati Bengals

D.J. Turner II entered the NFL as a second-round pick in 2023 out of Michigan. Since then, the 26-year-old has developed into a quality starter for the Bengals. He has started all eight games this season and allowed an opposing passer rating of only 81.6 in coverage.

22. Aaron Donald, DT, Los Angeles Rams

Did Aaron Donald only return to the Rams for a one-year run? That question won't be answered until the offseason. If the 35-year-old is open to playing again next season, he'll be one of the top defenders available.

While the 10-time Pro Bowler hasn't been racking up stats the way he did early in his career, he's still more impactful than most interior defenders playing right now.

21. Kevin Dotson, G, Los Angeles Rams

The 2027 free-agent class won't be loaded with top-tier offensive linemen, which will benefit players like Kevin Dotson. A full-time starter in L.A. since he arrived in 2023, Dotson has made 84 starts with the Rams and Steelers and only turned 30 in September.

Nos. 20-16

Raiders QB Kirk Cousins

20. YaYa Diaby, Edge, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

YaYa Diaby is currently out with an MCL sprain. However, he's been one of the league's most underrated edge defenders when healthy, pretty much since entering the league. He recorded 32 quarterback pressures in each of the past two seasons and has 22 sacks and 44 tackles for loss in 59 career regular-season games.

19. Blake Cashman, LB, Minnesota Vikings

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Blake Cashman is a do-it-all playmaker in the middle of the defense. The 30-year-old is on pace for his fourth straight campaign with at least 100 tackles. He's also been an effective situational pass-rusher in Brian Flores' defense.

18. Andrew Van Ginkel, Edge, Minnesota Vikings

Andrew Van Ginkel has been one of the league's better part-time pass-rushers for some time. He should be a coveted player despite the fact that he'll turn 32 in July. He recorded 18.5 sacks, 29 tackles for loss, and 42 quarterback pressures over the past two seasons, as he's on pace for another double-digit sack campaign.

17. Kirk Cousins, QB, Minnesota Vikings

Expect Kirk Cousins to interest most teams that plan to draft a quarterback highly in April. The 38-year-old has been an exemplary bridge quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders this season, playing at an above-average level while helping mentor first overall pick Fernando Mendoza.

Cousins was traded to the Vikings on Tuesday, and Minnesota will have a club option in 2027.

16. Mac Jones, QB, San Francisco 49ers

Mac Jones should be one of the top quarterbacks on the 2027 market. Depending on how next year's draft class shapes up, he could get multiple starting offers.

Jones was a rookie Pro Bowler with the New England Patriots in 2021 and struggled for several seasons before reemerging as San Francisco's spot starter last season. The 28-year-old went 5-3 with a 97.4 QB rating in 2026 and is due another opportunity to lead a franchise.

Nos. 15-11

Broncos CB Riley Moss

15. Jessie Bates III, S, Jacksonville Jaguars

Safety Jessie Bates III was traded from the Atlanta Falcons to Jacksonville on Monday. There's a reason why the Jaguars wanted the standout defender. Bates is a legitimate difference-maker at safety. The 29-year-old has 28 career interceptions and has a pick and three forced fumbles this season.

14. Steve Avila, G, Los Angeles Rams

The Rams could potentially lose both of their starting guards in free agency. Teams will covet Steve Avila most. He's been a well-above-average starter for most of his four-year career. He only turned 27 in late October.

13. DeForest Buckner, DT, San Francisco 49ers

DeForest Buckner began his career with the 49ers as the seventh overall pick in the 2016 draft. He was dealt in 2020 but returned to San Francisco this season in another trade. The 32-year-old has been a disruptive front-line defender throughout his career and is already up to 32 tackles and four sacks in 2026.

12. Brian Branch, S, Detroit Lions

Brian Branch would probably already have a second contract if he hadn't suffered a torn Achilles last season. He was a Defensive Rookie of the Year finalist in 2023 and a Pro Bowler in 2024, but last year's injury left some uncertainty as the Alabama product became extension-eligible in the offseason.

Branch is healthy now, though, and has recorded 14 tackles and an interception while allowing an opposing passer rating of only 20.8 in three games since his return. He only turned 25 in October.

11. Riley Moss, CB, Denver Broncos

A 2023 third-round pick out of Iowa, Riley Moss has established himself as a quality perimeter starter in Denver's defense. The 26-year-old has been heavily tested while playing opposite Patrick Surtain II and has rarely flinched. He's a rangy corner at 6'0", 193 pounds, who will only turn 27 in March.

10. Quenton Nelson, G, Seattle Seahawks

AP Photo/Stephen Brashear

Contract Projection: Three Years, $78 Million

We haven't seen much of guard Quenton Nelson since the Colts traded him to the Seahawks. He started for Seattle in Week 8 and then underwent a "minor procedure" on his knee.

The good news is that Nelson isn't expected to land on injured reserve. The knee shouldn't be a significant concern in the spring. If healthy, the eight-time Pro Bowler could be the top offensive lineman on the 2027 market.

Sunday's game was the first that Nelson has missed due to injury since 2023. He's made the Pro Bowl every year of his career and is a three-time first-team All-Pro. Pro Football Focus graded him third overall among all qualifying guards entering Week 9.

At 30, Nelson may not command a lengthy contract. However, he should earn a top-tier deal and garner attention from almost every team in need of a starting guard.

Potential Suitors: Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers

9. Joey Porter Jr., CB, Dallas Cowboys

AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez

Contract Projection: Four Years, $110 Million

Cornerback Joey Porter Jr. could have earned a new contract with the Steelers this past offseason, but he never seemed happy with Pittsburgh's offer. He missed the beginning of the season while dealing with a back injury and was eventually traded to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2027 sixth-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick.

According to Chris Mack of Kaboly and Mack, there was a "belief" that Porter was holding out for a $30 million-per-year offer.

Porter may fall a bit short of that mark on the open market. He's shown flashes in Dallas, but he hasn't turned the Cowboys' defense into a playoff-caliber unit. He's also currently battling an ankle injury.

That said, Porter should still be the top cornerback on the market if Dallas doesn't lock him up first. He's a terrific cover corner who is just a notch below the elite tier—he allowed an opposing passer rating of only 57.1 last season—and he'll only turn 27 in July.

Potential Suitors: Detroit Lions, Washington Commanders

8. Moro Ojomo, DT, Philadelphia Eagles

AP Photo/Terrance Williams

Contract Projection: Four Years, $112 Million

Moro Ojomo hasn't gotten as much attention as fellow Eagles defensive linemen Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis—and the Eagles haven't given him a hefty second contract yet, either. However, he should be in the spotlight more following Monday's trade of Davis to Jacksonville.

Ojomo is definitely going to get a ton of attention from teams in need of interior defensive help in the spring.

The 2023 seventh-round pick should be highly coveted, as Milton Williams was a couple of offseasons ago. Contract offers will reflect that.

Ojomo's numbers are down a bit this season, as is Philadelphia's overall defensive performance. However, he continues to be a disruptive and multifaceted interior defender who can eat blocks, clog lanes, collapse the pocket, pressure quarterbacks, and end plays in the backfield.

Ojomo finished last season with 38 tackles, six sacks, six tackles for loss, and 21 quarterback pressures. He won't turn 26 until August.

Potential Suitors: Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins

7. Parker Washington, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars

AP Photo

Contract Projection: Four Years, $108 Million

Parker Washington's ascent to stardom has been both unexpected and thrilling to watch. The 2023 sixth-round pick out of Penn State has gone from an overlooked addition to the Jaguars' biggest offensive threat in no time.

Despite having a running-back build (5'10", 204 lbs) and a lack of elite athletic traits, Washington has developed into one of the most difficult pass-catchers to defend in the league. Savvy route-running and a knack for finding space in the secondary allow him to operate as a high-volume inside-outside receiver.

When Washington gets the ball in stride, he has the play speed needed to make defenses pay.

After catching 58 passes for 847 yards and five touchdowns in 2025, Washington is on pace to eclipse those numbers in 2026. He has 29 catches for 493 yards and five touchdowns through eight games, cementing himself as Jacksonville's No. 1 target.

While a lack of elite size may keep Washington out of the upper tier of receiver contracts, the 24-year-old should command a deal that falls somewhere between those signed by Wan'Dale Robinson and Alec Pierce this past offseason.

Potential Suitors: Los Angeles Chargers, Los Angeles Rams

6. Tuli Tuipulotu, Edge, Los Angeles Chargers

AP Photo/Kyusung Gong

Contract Projection: Four Years, $92 Million

Chargers edge rusher Tuli Tuipulotu might not be a household name, but you can bet that teams are well aware of the 24-year-old. A 2023 second-round pick out of USC, Tuipulotu has emerged as one of Los Angeles' most impactful defenders over the past four years.

Tuipulotu is a big (6'3", 266 lbs) and physical edge defender who possesses the athleticism to serve as a rush linebacker and the strength to play along the defensive line. He can disengage blockers with good use of his hands, beat blockers with counter moves, and collapse the pocket with very good play strength.

The Chargers' defense has disappointed in 2026, but Tuipulotu racked up 49 tackles, 13 sacks, 20 tackles for loss, and 32 quarterback pressures last season. His sack numbers are down a bit this year, but he's still playing at a Pro Bowl level.

Tuipulotu can fit a variety of defensive schemes. He possesses a very attractive combination of ability and youth. He's likely to be one of the first defenders signed in free agency if L.A. doesn't lock him up before the contract window.

Potential Suitors: Cincinnati Bengals, Las Vegas Raiders

5. Sam LaPorta, TE, Detroit Lions

AP Photo/Jacob Kupferman

Contract Projection: Four Years, $76 Million

There was some uncertainty about Sam LaPorta's future last season, as he dealt with a herniated spinal disc that ended his campaign prematurely. However, the 25-year-old has been back and as good as ever through the first half of 2026.

While the Lions have made a habit of extending key players early, they have yet to lock up their star tight end—possibly because of the cloud of last year's injury. LaPorta, though, has said his lack of a new deal isn't a distraction.

"If I don't get to wear the Honolulu Blue and play for the Lions anymore, it's going to be all good. I'll go get paid somewhere else," LaPorta said on Pardon My Take (h/t ProFootballTalk's Michael David Smith).

While the 6'3", 245-pound LaPorta may not be an elite run blocker, he's a true mismatch as a receiver. The Iowa product has been a huge part of what Detroit likes to do offensively, but he's correct in his belief that he can get a payday elsewhere.

Expect cap-rich teams in need of offensive playmakers to line up with offers for LaPorta.

Potential Suitors: Cincinnati Bengals, Miami Dolphins

4. Byron Young, Edge, Los Angeles Rams

AP Photo/John Locher

Contract Projection: Four Years, $120 Million

Jared Verse was the star of the Rams' pass-rushing rotation before he was dealt to the Cleveland Browns as part of the Myles Garrett trade. However, it was teammate Byron Young who led the team in sacks last season with 12.

Young, a 2023 third-round pick out of Tennessee, has been a defensive force since joining L.A. Over his first three years, he compiled an impressive 27.5 sacks, 32 tackles for loss, four forced fumbles, and 93 quarterback pressures. He's having another strong season despite playing most of the season without a top-tier bookend like Verse or Garrett opposite him.

If there's a knock on Young, it's that he entered the league as an older prospect and will turn 29 in March. However, it doesn't change the fact that he's an athletic and powerful 6'2", 260-pound defender with a high motor who can consistently disrupt opposing game plans.

Young will be the top edge defender on a lot of boards in the spring. He should command a contract similar to the one that Jaelan Phillips received this past offseason.

Potential Suitors: Atlanta Falcons, Washington Commanders

3. Kobie Turner, DT, Los Angeles Rams

AP Photo/Kyusung Gong

Contract Projection: Four Years, $128 Million

Kobie Turner has spent a little less time in the spotlight this season due to the return of Aaron Donald. He's also currently on injured reserve with a groin strain.

However, this shouldn't significantly dampen his value on the open market.

Turner has yet to earn a Pro Bowl nod, but the 2023 third-round pick has consistently played at a Pro Bowl level since entering the league. In each of his first three seasons, Turner recorded at least 48 tackles, seven sacks, eight tackles for loss, and 20 quarterback pressures.

At 6'2" and 294 pounds, Turner is rarely the biggest player on the field, but he consistently wins with good athleticism, a solid base, great play strength and hand usage, and a high motor.

Set to turn 28 in April, Turner could be the most coveted defender on the market.

Potential Suitors: Atlanta Falcons, Las Vegas Raiders

2. George Pickens, WR, Dallas Cowboys

AP Photo/Jeffrey McWhorter

Contract Projection: Four Years, $140 Million

George Pickens might not be the top wide receiver available on the 2027 market, but that won't prevent him from being the top target for a lot of teams. He's been an elite No. 2 receiver for the Dallas Cowboys. He will only turn 26 in March.

Pickens showed last season that he's even capable of putting up No. 1 receiver numbers. He filled the role for a few games when CeeDee Lamb was sidelined and finished with 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns. It was the second campaign in four seasons with at least 1,100 yards for the Georgia product.

While Pickens hasn't been quite as prolific this year, he's on pace for another 1,000-yard season.

With a great blend of speed, size (6'3", 200 lbs), and contested-catch ability, Pickens should heavily interest teams that need a go-to target and don't want to dish out a market-topping contract. On the open market, he should fall somewhere in the range of Lamb, Garrett Wilson, and Zay Flowers.

That is, if the Cowboys don't give him the franchise tag for the second straight offseason.

Potential Suitors: Los Angeles Chargers, Las Vegas Raiders

1. Puka Nacua, WR, Los Angeles Rams

AP PhotoCaroline Brehman

Contract Projection: Four Years, $165 Million

Puka Nacua might be just a bit behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the NFL's wide receiver hierarchy, but he isn't a distant second. The 25-year-old would probably already rival Smith-Njigba in terms of salary, if not for a few specific factors.

For one, Nacua does have a fairly extensive injury history and has missed time every year except his 2023 rookie campaign. He's currently sidelined with MCL and PCL sprains that he suffered on Sunday.

Nacua is also on a team that shelled out for several big-name players in order to chase a Super Bowl in 2026.

Given Los Angeles' investments and lengthy list of standout 2027 free agents, Nacua will be a prime candidate for the franchise tag this offseason. If he hits the market, though, he should be the top target for receiver-needy teams.

Nacua is a master of route-running, spatial awareness, and body control. Combined with a 6'2" frame and excellent play speed, these skills make Nacua one of the biggest mismatches in the league.

Nacua led the NFL with 129 catches and 107.2 receiving yards per game last season. He's off to another strong start in 2026. He's less than 100 yards away from eclipsing 5,000 career receiving yards—which he should do before the end of his fourth season—and he won't turn 26 until next May.

Expect most cap-rich teams with a need for receiver depth to have Nacua at the top of their boards.

Potential Suitors: Miami Dolphins, Washington Commanders
