NFL Free Agency 2022: Predicting where the top 100 players will sign

88. Melvin Gordon, RB: Denver Broncos ➡️ Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos and Melvin Gordon have both been vocal about coming together on some kind of deal to bring the former first-round pick back to the Mile High City.

The question is — does Denver’s new coaching staff want Melvin Gordon back or not?

Gordon would likely have to sign another short-term deal, this one with little or no security beyond this season, to stay in Denver.

As vocal as the Broncos have been about wanting Gordon back, though, I think we see him stick with Denver.

87. Maliek Collins, DL: Houston Texans ➡️ Houston Texans

Maliek Collins played 15 games last season for the Houston Texans and wound up with a career-high 9.0 tackles for loss, also adding 13 pressures, 7 QB hits, and 2.5 sacks.

Collins was one of the many free agents the Texans signed in the 2021 offseason and this one might stick.

Lovie Smith has been retained as the Texans’ head coach, so keeping some of his defense intact has to be a priority.

Collins is still a solid all-around interior defensive linemen who has proven his pass rush abilities in the past as well.
