2026 NFL Free-Agency Primer: Top 10 players at every position
Brock Purdy is poised for a record-breaking extension with the San Francisco 49ers, potentially exceeding $200 million in total value. Despite a strong start to his career, Purdy's performance dipped in the second half of the 2024 season, leaving him with a PFF passing grade of 76.3, placing him 14th in the league. Meanwhile, the 2026 free-agent class is shaping up to be competitive, especially among quarterbacks, with veterans like Russell Wilson and Joe Flacco expected to be seeking new contracts. The running back market is especially noteworthy with stars like Derrick Henry and James Cook among the top performers. Henry's 94.3 rushing grade and Cook's league-leading 16 touchdowns put them in a strong position for lucrative deals. The receiver market features Mike Evans, who continues his impressive production, and Commanders’ talents Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel, both poised for potentially lucrative extensions. The tight end position sees notable names like Mark Andrews and Travis Kelce, with questions surrounding their future as Kelce’s age and declining performance raises retirement speculation.
What makes the 2026 free-agent class unique?How might injuries affect free-agent negotiations?What are the implications of contract extensions on team salary caps?Which players are considered trade candidates as free agency approaches?
