1. Tee Higgins, WR
Tee Higgins is just entering his prime and is already widely considered one of the top wideouts in the NFL. Higgins showcased his value in a big way this year, finishing with ten touchdowns and just shy of 1,000 receiving yards.

2. Trey Smith, G
It's not hard to get excited about one of the top guards in the league hitting free agency. Trey Smith put together a 75% run block win rate during the regular season, and didn't allow a sack. If that doesn't entice you, what will?
3. Ronnie Stanley, OT
The body of work that Ronnie Stanley has put together throughout his career has made him one of the best left tackles in football. Injuries have played a role of late for Stanley, but he was healthy in 2024.
4. Jevon Holland, S
Even though it was somewhat of an up-and-down campaign, the body of work that Jevon Hollard has put together is noteworthy. There's a good case to be made that he's the best available safety on the open market.
5. Chris Godwin, WR
Chris Godwin has continued to be one of the NFL's top slot receivers. A season-ending injury could hurt his value, but his resume certainly speaks for itself at this stage in his career.

6. Zack Baun, LB
If there's one breakout free agent on this list, it's Zack Baun. Whether you want to believe he can be this player long-term is a different story, but Baun has put together a dominant season for the Eagles and will be looking a big raise in free agency.
7. D.J. Reed, CB
When targeted this season, D.J. Reed allowed just a 57% completion percentage and two touchdowns. Those type of numbers will earn you a handsome payday in free agency.
8. Khalil Mack, LB
If Khalil Mack doesn't retire, he's shown that he's still very much capable of making an impact on a defense. If he sticks around and continues to play, it's likely on a short-term deal with a contender.

9. Stefon Diggs, WR
Injuries put a halt to Stefon Diggs first season with the Houston Texans. No one will doubt his talent, but you have to wonder how much this injury will play a role in the term he gets in free agency.
10. Sam Darnold, QB
The numbers were great this season for Sam Darnold, who proved he's capable of being a starting quarterback in the NFL. How much will his poor end of the season alter his value in free agency?
