With plenty of talent scheduled to be available during 2018 NFL Free Agency, let’s take a look at where some of the league’s elite talents could sign in March.

Believe it or not, the 2017 NFL regular season is coming to a close. As we work our way through the final few weeks, 2018 NFL Free Agency has begun to come into focus as teams start to fall out of playoff contention.

Especially for those teams, free agency can be a make-or-break opportunity when it comes to building a playoff-caliber roster. It’s a chance to sign veteran players who can immediately step in and contribute on Sundays. It’s also the opportunity to fill any potential holes, and make significant upgrades at positions of need.

As luck would have it for those uninspiring clubs of 2017, the 2018 free agency class could feature a number of game changers. While not the best class in recent memory, there are several quality quarterbacks set to be available. We should also see a surplus of playmaking wide receivers, and a couple of defensive stars may also hit the open market.

Either way, it’s going to be fun seeing the landscape of the NFL shift come early March.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at the top 15 players scheduled to be available during 2018 NFL free agency. On top of that, I make my predictions for which teams they’ll all sign with. Be forewarned, though — there’s a good chance a handful of them will be staying put, both in my predictions and in real life.
