Even with the top players likely to be franchise-tagged, pass-rushers still figure to take the biggest bite out of the NFL's wealth of spending money in free agency.
So many teams around the league remain starved for players who can consistently pressure the quarterback, and with the millions of dollars expected to be available once the market opens next month, pass-rushers of all shapes and sizes could cash-in with lucrative deals.
According to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com, the 32 NFL teams may enter free agency with roughly $1 billion to spend. While Super Bowl MVP Von Miller and New York's Muhammad Wilkerson remain likely to receive the franchise tag, the pass-rushers that do make it to the market should find a number of open checkbooks.
