Free agency is a time for NFL players to find out what their value is on the free market. It takes a lot of hard work and ability to get to this point in good standing and many players will get a raise. This season, budgets will be tighter with the salary cap taking a hit due to COVID-19, which could limit guaranteed money and contract length. More players will likely need to take one-year prove-it contracts than usual. But, the top players will still command big contracts and this season there are some strong receivers set to hit the market.
Free agents cannot sign a deal until March 17th, but numerous deals are all but completed during the “tampering period” which starts on March 15th. Teams and agents have already been talking despite rules against it, so this period lets them finish up their under the radar negotiations.
The best receivers in free agency this season are also top-tier in the league, as Allen Robinson and Chris Godwin both are unrestricted free agents. Below them are still some strong options like Will Fuller, Kenny Golladay, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marvin Jones, T.Y. Hilton among others.
Below is a full list of free agents, sortable by name, old team, and new team. We’ll update as news arrives on the various players.
