Depth Over Star Power: 2026 NFL Free Agents Could Reshape Rosters
NFL insider Marc Ross ranks the top 101 free agents for 2026, arguing this class is deeper than its star power suggests and could reshape rosters more than the 2025 cycle. The ranking starts with Malik Willis at No. 1 and features standout names across positions like George Pickens, Jaelan Phillips, Tyler Linderbaum, Alec Pierce, Mike Evans, and more, emphasizing position scarcity, age and market value over sheer money. He notes the negotiating window opens March 9 and free agency begins March 11, highlighting a deep pool of players to upgrade teams.
