The 2020 edition of NFL free agency is slated to kick off March 18. The ability of teams to contact and negotiate with players before the official start of free agency means there will be a flurry of signings the moment the market opens.
It also means the first wave of signed players will be heavily compensated.
The biggest deals usually come in the first few days of free agency. However, the biggest deals aren't always the best. Sometimes unheralded signings prove to be the most impactful because they combine value with production.
For example, cornerback Bashaud Breeland signed a one-year, $2 million deal with the Kansas City Chiefs last offseason.
