    http://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/sto...op-25-2018-nfl-free-agents-offseason-signings

    1. Kirk Cousins, QB | 2017 team: Washington | Age: 30
    Projected contract: Three years, $90 million fully guaranteed

    Cousins is thought to want a three-year deal so he can hit free agency again while still in his prime. Don't be surprised if his deal is announced as a five-year deal so the signing team can spread out signing bonus proration, but that he can get out after three.

    2. Le'Veon Bell, RB | 2017 team: Steelers | Age: 26
    Projected contract: One year, $14.554 million (franchise tag)

    3. Drew Brees, QB | 2017 team: Saints | Age: 39
    Projected contract: Five years*, $90 million

    4. DeMarcus Lawrence, DE | 2017 team: Cowboys | Age: 26
    Projected contract: Five years, $87.5 million

    5. Case Keenum, QB | 2017 team: Vikings | Age: 30
    Projected contract: Three years, $56 million

    6. Andrew Norwell, OG | 2017 team: Panthers | Age: 26
    Projected contract: Five years, $62.5 million

    7. Ezekiel Ansah, DE | 2017 team: Lions | Age: 29
    Projected contract: One year, $17.143 million (franchise tag)

    8. Jimmy Graham, TE | 2017 team: Seahawks | Age: 31
    Projected contract: Three years, $25 million

    Just don't see Graham breaking the bank, based on the conversations I had at the combine in Indianapolis and since. He can still help a team, and there'll be enough interest (Baltimore? Chicago? New Orleans?) to move up his price somewhat. I don't think Graham gets into eight figures per season, and some people suggested to me he might have a tough time getting to $9 million a year.

    9. Sheldon Richardson, DT | 2017 team: Seahawks | Age: 27
    Projected contract: Three years, $48 million

    10. Jarvis Landry, WR | 2017 team: Dolphins | Age: 25
    Projected contract: Four years, $44 million

    11. Nate Solder, OT | 2017 team: Patriots | Age: 30
    Projected contract: Four years, $49 million

    The expectation from people around the league is that Solder, who's the top tackle on the market, will end up taking a little bit less than market value to return to the Patriots. A deal like this would slot him in ahead of Tyron Smith and behind guys like Trent Williams and Terron Armstead at the top of the market, but he could get as much as half the deal guaranteed.

    12. Trumaine Johnson, CB | 2017 team: Rams | Age: 28
    Projected contract: Five years, $77.5 million

    A whopper of a deal that would put Johnson atop the cornerback market. But hey, he has already been there the past two years on his franchise tags, and with cap-rich teams like San Francisco and Cleveland in need at the position, Johnson looks set to cash in big. Johnson and agent Joel Segal have wisely waited out the franchise tag process (a la Cousins and agent Mike McCartney at the top of this list) and are in position to set new market benchmarks at the position as a result.

    13. Star Lotulelei, DT | 2017 team: Panthers | Age: 28
    Projected contract: Three years, $33 million

    14. Allen Robinson, WR | 2017 team: Jaguars | Age: 25
    Projected contract: One year, $10 million

    15. Sammy Watkins, WR | 2017 team: Rams | Age: 25
    Projected contract: One year, $13 million

    16. Lamarcus Joyner, S | 2017 team: Rams | Age: 27
    Projected contract: One year, $11.287 million (franchise tag)

    17. Dontari Poe, DT | 2017 team: Falcons | Age: 28
    Projected contract: Three years, $33 million

    18. Bashaud Breeland, CB | 2017 team: Washington | Age: 26
    Projected contract: Three years, $28 million

    19. Aaron Colvin, CB | 2017 team: Jaguars | Age: 26
    Projected contract: Three years, $31 million

    20. Teddy Bridgewater, QB | 2017 team: Vikings | Age: 25
    Projected contract: One year, $8 million plus heavy incentives

    21. Dion Lewis, RB | 2017 team: Patriots | Age: 27
    Projected contract: Four years, $24 million

    22. Malcolm Butler, CB | 2017 team: Patriots | Age: 28
    Projected contract: Five years, $49 million

    He's not hitting the market at peak strength, coming off his weird Super Bowl benching and a not-too-great year. But the bet here is that some team takes a chance on the upside and does a longer-term deal in the hopes of having a bargain in the deal's later years.

    23. Paul Richardson, WR | 2017 team: Seahawks | Age: 26
    Projected contract: Five years, $34.5 million

    24. Anthony Hitchens, LB | 2017 team: Cowboys | Age: 26
    Projected contract: Four years, $40 million

    25. Justin Pugh, OL | 2017 team: Giants | Age: 28
    Projected contract: Four years, $38 million

    Pugh's ability to play guard or tackle should appeal to teams that need versatility and depth on their offensive line. If a team sees him as a starting tackle, his price could go even higher.

    Never thought of him as an option for the Texans. This means that LA secondary is going to be tough. And it means Trumaine isn't going to be back.

    Being injury prone doesn't make you a scrub.
    It makes you a busted up scrub.

    Lol. Just as long as we agree he is and will always be a scrub. I know we have many scouts on here who predict he has done amazing things but I haven’t seen anything that’s stood out in any game he’s ever played.

    Lol. I’m sure you know more than what’s been reported!!!All I’m saying is that it is possible to be a bigot and still want to win at any cost. Not saying he is one but people don’t play with things of this Nature. You are full of hot air mostly. Not a closet bigot like some..........

    I wouldn't say he' a scrub. Maybe just not what we expect out of a 1st rounder. I have seen him do some things on the field at times throughout the season. I wouldn't necessarily call them amazing, just good enough.

    Also I think Johnson is going to be better this season. Because of his injuries he hasn' really had a chance of getting used to the speed of the league yet.
