In the upcoming NFL offseason, the focus shifts to the impactful interior defensive linemen, who are poised to hit free agency. These players, while less celebrated than exterior pass rushers, play a critical role in both run defense and pressuring quarterbacks. Free agency is expected to see some significant moves, with players like Poona Ford and D.J. Jones looking for new homes. Ford's performance with the Buffalo Bills and Jones' solid season with the Denver Broncos highlight the depth of talent available.

In particular, players like B.J. Hill of the Cincinnati Bengals, who has been a key component of their defensive line, and Levi Onwuzurike from the Detroit Lions, ready to step into a full-time role, are intriguing options for teams in need. Milton Williams of the Philadelphia Eagles demonstrated his prowess in the Super Bowl and is also expected to attract interest. With contracts projected by Spotrac giving insight into market values, teams will be keen to secure these defensive assets to bolster their defenses.
