Who are the best NFL free agents who will be available in this 2024 signing period?
Pro Football Focus (PFF) ranked what they believe are the top 200. Where did the best Commanders’ free agents place in the PFF rankings?
By the way, NFL salaries will increase a little more than expected.
Why?
Because with the NFL team salary cap leaping higher than expected to $255.4 million, that means each team will have $13 million more than initially projected. It doesn’t mean teams will use all of their money. Yet, it assuredly means there will be some players who are going to hit free agency, who are going to be paid more to re-sign with their current team.
Here is the PFF list of the 200 Free Agents
Below Commanders Wire will provide the PFF top 5 and then where the top Commanders free agents placed in the PFF rankings.
