Typically, the NFL's best free agents re-sign with their respective teams, though some prefer to look for greener pastures if they avoid the franchise tag.
Per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the league's salary cap will reach a projected $208.2 million after a down year due to COVID-19-related losses. As a result, top-tier impending free agents can look forward to lucrative long-term contract offers on the open market next offseason.
Big-name wide receivers may headline the 2022 class. With that said, Davante Adams and Chris Godwin might re-sign with the Green Bay Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, respectively, if their quarterbacks remain on the roster.
