5 days into NFL free agency many of the big name FA’s are already off the board. Some teams have been extremely aggressive in free agency. The Broncos have essentially rebuilt their entire secondary on the fly. The Patriots blew past the previous record for most guaranteed money spent in a single free agency period. And even the Jets got in on the fun doling out $75M worth of contracts over the past few days.
Then you’ve got the teams that are actively fighting to get under the salary cap ahead of the draft. While teams like the Saints and Eagles have done a good job of shedding salary and restructuring contracts to get under the cap, they along with the Packers, Seahawks, Bills & Rams still find themselves on the wrong side of the ledger.
If you’re having trouble keeping up with where all the big names have signed, fear not. We’ve got you covered, with the 100 biggest FA contracts inked so far.
