Javon Hargrave was already a coveted free agent coming over from the Pittsburgh Steelers a handful of years ago. He’s more than proven himself as one of the truly elite interior defensive linemen in the game, and now he’s got a chance to go up against Joe Thuney and Creed Humphrey — two of the best in the business — to prove himself worthy of likely one more massive payday.

Hargrave had a career-best 11.0 sacks this season and looks fresh as ever. He will be 30 next season but on a 2-3 year contract, he’s undoubtedly going to land $12-15 million per year. If he can make life hard on Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl? You can add even more to that.

3. Miles Sanders, RB, Philadelphia Eagles

This year’s running back class in free agency is pretty loaded. It’s one of the top position groups among all of free agency and a player like Miles Sanders — coming off of an outstanding, Pro Bowl season — has one more chance to differentiate himself from the rest of the pack.

After racking up over 1,300 yards from scrimmage this past season, Sanders could help keep the ball away from Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense and really ramp up his free agent value in a big way with one more big-time performance in Super Bowl LVII. His average annual salary right now is projected to be over $7 million, but could he get into the $10-12 million per year range with a big game vs. the Chiefs?
