The 2021 NFL free-agency period is quickly approaching, and this year's action should be even more frenzied than usual.
The salary cap has dropped—and rather significantly, at that—for the first time in a decade, meaning teams will be making tough cuts to free up money they can use to sign free agents. Organizations will also have to decide whether they want to let their own unrestricted free agents go or make a move to retain them.
Almost every team will be letting at least one player walk, whether for salary-cap reasons or to free up a roster spot.
