2024 NFL offseason: Best available running backs, linebackers

I'm breaking down the 2024 free agent market by position and tier over the next two weeks. The goal is to try to understand which players are likely to be available to teams when free agency opens March 11 and what that means for the negotiating power on both sides. I've gone through the pending free agents and included potential cap casualties to see if there's a surplus or a shortage of starting-caliber talent available.

On Monday, I hit the quarterbacks, tight ends and offensive linemen. Now we're considering running backs and linebackers. For the latter, I'm strictly focusing on players whose primary job on paper against the pass is to play coverage as opposed to rushing after the quarterback.
