20) OG Will Fries, Minnesota Vikings
Will Fries was selected in the seventh round by the Colts and developed into a more than solid starter during his time in Indy. The young offensive guard's season ended last year with a gruesome leg injury, but that didn't restrict him from cashing in on the open market. Fries heads to Minnesota after receiving a big payday.

Deal: Five Years, $88 Million
1) WR Chris Godwin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Chris Godwin was on pace for a career-year last season before a season-ending injury sidelined him in the final year of his contact with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The talented pass catcher had a healthy market entering free agency, but Godwin took no time when the legal tampering period opened to ink a deal to stay with Tampa Bay.

Deal: Three Years, $66 Million

2) DL Milton Williams, New England Patriots
Milton Williams was one of the most coveted free agents in free agency entering the legal tampering period. The 25-year-old defender spent four seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he showed durability and flashes of how dominant he can be in the trenches for Philly. The Louisiana Tech product had plenty of offers, but he decided to partner with new head coach Mike Vrabel for the New England Patriots.

Deal: Four Years, $104 Million
3) CB D.J. Reed, Detroit Lions
D.J. Reed has been one of the best corners in the league over the last couple of seasons for the New York Jets, but after their abysmal season in the AFC East, it was clear the corner wouldn't be back. The lockdown defender had multiple teams pursuing him, but he opted to cash in with a contender inking a long-term deal with the Detroit Lions.

Deal: Three Years, $48 Million
4) OT Ronnie Stanley, Baltimore Ravens
Ronnie Stanley had a healthy market heading into free agency, as many teams hoped they'd be able to sway him away from the Baltimore Ravens. However, the Ravens didn't give outside teams much opportunity to negotiate with their offensive tackle, signing him to a long-term contract.

Deal: Three Years, $60 Million
5) CB Charvarius Ward, Indianapolis Colts
Charvarius Ward has been one of the most underrated corners in the league over the last few years, and he made it clear that whichever team landed him next would get his best. Leaving the NFC, Ward cashed in on the open market, signing with the Indianapolis Colts. With new defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo looking for a reliable corner in his defensive scheme, this could be one of the steals of the offseason.

Deal: Three Years, $54 Million
6) S Jevon Holland, New York Giants
Jevon Holland entered free agency as arguably the top safety available after a strong start to his NFL career in Miami. The defender drew interest from multiple teams, but ultimately, Joe Schoen and the New York Giants opened up the checkbook to lure him to the NFC East.

Deal: Three Years, $45.3 Million
7) S Camryn Bynum, Indianapolis Colts
Camryn Bynum is the other free-agent safety who could be argued to be the best defender available after his breakout season in Minnesota. The defender is a ball hawk specializing in turnovers and is one of the most reliable tacklers in the league. Joining Charvarius Ward in the Colts' defense, Lou Anarumo will have plenty of fun scheming up his newest additions.

Deal: Four Years, $60 Million
8) Josh Sweat, Arizona Cardinals
Josh Sweat entered free agency as one of the top edge rushers available, which took the Arizona Cardinals no time to make a move to land the former Eagles star. The Florida State product racked up eight sacks this past season, serving as a key piece for Philadelphia's defense on their Super Bowl run. After cashing in with Arizona, Sweat hopes to be a key piece to turning the Cardinals franchise back around.

Deal: Four Years, $76.4 Million
9) QB Sam Darnold, Seattle Seahawks
Sam Darnold entered this free agency cycle looking to get a big payday after his lone season with Kevin O'Connell seemingly rejuvenated his career. After the quarterback tossed 35 touchdowns and 12 interceptions this past year, many expected a team to take the bait on the former No. 3 overall pick, and the Seattle Seahawks did precisely that.

Deal: Three Years, $100.5 Million
10) IOL Drew Dalman, Chicago Bears
The Chicago Bears prioritized the offensive line this offseason to protect star quarterback Caleb Williams ahead of next season. After multiple big moves to bolster the trenches, general manager Ryan Poles added extra protection in free agency, locking in the best center available, Drew Dalman.

Deal: Three Years, $42 Million
11) LB Zack Baun, Philadelphia Eagles
Zack Baun put the noise around his free agency to rest early by re-signing with the Eagles. Howie Roseman has moved on from multiple players following their Super Bowl win this past season, but Baun was not one player he'd let walk out of the building.

Deal: Three Years, $51 Million
12) Osa Odighizuwa, Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys haven't made much noise in free agency, but arguably, their best move this far has been re-signing Osa Odighizuwa. The defensive lineman has been a dominant force in the trenches for the Cowboys, and it would have been a huge loss if they lost him in free agency.

Deal: Four Years, $80 Million
13) LB Nick Bolton, Kansas City Chiefs
Nick Bolton has been a key to the Kansas City Chiefs defense over the last couple of seasons, and there was no way they could let him walk in free agency. As soon as the legal tampering period opened, the talented defender took no time to re-sign with the squad with which he had appeared in three straight Super Bowls.

Deal: Three Years, $45 Million
14) CB Carlton Davis, New England Patriots
Carlton Davis entered free agency with his intentions clear: get paid. The lockdown corner did exactly that, cashing in with the New England Patriots and making himself one of the first defenders to sign.

Deal: Three Years, $60 Million
15) Edge Haason Reddick, Tampa Bay Bucanneers
Haason Reddick was the talk of the offseason last year after going through a contract holdout with the Jets. However, the talented edge rusher eventually suited up for New York, but his time in the team was short-lived after signing a deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when free agency opened.

Deal: One Year, $14 Million
16) QB Justin Fields, New York Jets
Justin Fields showed flashes of his ability with the Bears before being dealt to the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of last season. The Ohio State product started a handful of games but was quickly stripped of his starting spot when Russell Wilson was cleared. However, he gets another fresh start joining the Jets and Aaron Glenn, where he'll get a chance to prove he deserves to be a starter in this league.

Deal: Two Years, $40 Million
17) S Tre'von Moehrig, Carolina Panthers
Tre'von Moehrig entered free agency looking for a payday after proving to be one of the league's best and most reliable safeties over the last few seasons. The young defender gets the chance to prove his worth in the Carolina Panthers secondary next season.

Deal: Three Years, $51 Million
18) Edge Khalil Mack, Los Angeles Chargers
Khalil Mack was undecided between retirement and returning to the game he loves for one more season heading into free agency. However, still playing at the top of his game, the talented defender chose to run it back one more seas with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Deal: One Year, $18 Million
19) Byron Murphy, Minnesota Vikings
Byron Murphy had a breakout season with the Vikings this past year and was set for a big payday following his production. The corner had multiple teams interested in his services, but staying put in Minnesota to play under Brian Flores was the best fit for him.

Deal: Three Years, $66 Million
20) OG Will Fries, Minnesota Vikings
Will Fries was selected in the seventh round by the Colts and developed into a more than solid starter during his time in Indy. The young offensive guard's season ended last year with a gruesome leg injury, but that didn't restrict him from cashing in on the open market. Fries heads to Minnesota after receiving a big payday.

Deal: Five Years, $88 Million
