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, we’ve got less than two months before the 2018 NFL season comes to close. That means that 2019 NFL Free Agency isn’t nearly as far away as it seems. So why not begin preparations with some early sleuthing?

Especially for the teams quickly exiting the postseason hunt, free agency can be a make-or-break opportunity when it comes to building a playoff-caliber roster. It’s a chance to sign quality veteran players who can immediately step in and contribute on Sundays. It’s also an opportunity to fill holes and make upgrades at key positions.

Unluckily for those failing franchises, the 2019 free agency class isn’t going to feature a boatload of potential game-changers. There are almost no starting-caliber quarterbacks available, the offensive line help will be far and few between. As you’ll soon see, the majority of the top talent scheduled to be available lies on the defensive side of the ball.

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

With that in mind, let’s take an early look at the top 15 players scheduled to be available during 2019 NFL free agency and my predictions for where they may land. Be forewarned, though — there’s a good chance a handful of them will be staying put, both in my predictions and in real life.
