The Journal Sentinel's Bob McGinn rates the best players among the 396 unrestricted free agents, the 75 or so players of significance that have been cut since Feb. 8 and the 59 potential restricted and exclusive-rights free agents who received no qualifying offer or minimum tender before March 9.

The signing period began March 9 at 3 p.m.; anyone signed before that time was not factored in.

The three players designated as franchise players (Jets DE Muhammad Wilkerson, Panthers CB Josh Norman and Chiefs S Eric Berry) were not considered.

Players are ranked in order of attractiveness based on ability, production, age, health and off-field factors.
