Beginning with the "legal tampering" period on March 11, NFL free agents will soon receive contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Quarterback Nick Foles will likely get $20 million annually from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Edge-rusher Trey Flowers and offensive tackle Trent Brown will receive massive paydays as the top free-agent options at their respective positions.
But for some other big names, the dream isn't going to match the reality. Whether due to age, injury history or a glut of talent at their position, certain players won't receive offers in line with what they expect.
