2022 NFL Offseason Series: NFC South

Michael GinnittiJanuary 08, 2022
Assessing the upcoming offseason for each 2022 NFC South team, broken down by division, including projected cap space, players under contract, notable free agents, potential extension candidates, franchise tag possibilities, & trade/cut options.

Offseason Division Pieces

Atlanta Falcons

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $12M

Under Contract (31): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $15.6M

Notable Restricted Free Agents: Olamide Zaccheaus (WR, 24), FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Cordarrelle Patterson (RB, 30), Younghoe Koo (K, 27), Dante Fowler Jr. (DE, 27), FULL LIST

Franchise Tag Candidate: None.

Draft Picks: R1, R2, R2 (TEN), R3, R4, R5 , R6

Extension Candidates

Jake Matthews (OT, 29)
Matthews has been a staple on Matt Ryan’s blindside since entering the league in 2014. Not yet 30, a looming QB change for Atlanta should make shoring up the offensive line even more of a priority this offseason. The going rate for new LT contracts ranges from $17M-$23M currently.

Cordarrelle Patterson (RB, 30)
One of the toughest players we’ve had to attempt to evaluate over the past decade, Patterson appears to be pioneering a whole new “role” inside this modern offense, taking twice as many  receiving snaps as he has rushing snaps, though still largely considered a halfback in the league right now? So should he be paid like a 30 year old running back? Or a 30 year old WR3? We’ve split the difference, and the math sees a $9M per year extension in his future.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Matt Ryan (QB, 36)
After a disastrous start, Ryan and the Falcons' offense found their sea legs about halfway through 2021. Was it enough to keep him in the fold for 2022? Maybe. His contract certainly doesn't make it easy to move away. Matt Ryan's 2022 cap hit is a whopping $48.6M currently, with a whopping $40.525M of dead cap attached to it. A post 6/1 designation would need to be processed before March 18th, when a $7.5M roster bonus is due, to split the dead cap into a more reasonable $24.9M in 2022, & $15.6M in 2023, representing $23.75M of cap savings next year.

Mike Davis (RB, 28)
Davis was brought in to be the lead back this past March, but was quickly supplanted by Cordarrelle Patterson's outstanding campaign. With the latter scheduled for free agency, Davis might stick based out of necessity. But Atlanta could use the $2.5M in cap savings that come with moving on.

Calvin Ridley (WR, 27)
Ridley's return to Atlanta is TBD as he continues to remain away from the team due to a mental health battle. His $11.1M option salary for 2022 is already fully guaranteed, and will stay on the books until further notice.

Grady Jarrett (DT, 28)
Jarrett's production peaked in 2019, when he was truly one of the best interior defenders in all of football. While the 28 year old still has plenty to offer, a $23.8M cap hit scheduled for 2022 seems unlikely. The Falcons can certainly option to restructure/extend him for cap purposes, but if the opt to move on entirely, there's $16.5M to be freed up.

Carolina Panthers

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $28M

Under Contract (40): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $7M

Notable Restricted Free Agents: Phillip Walker (QB, 26)

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Stephon Gilmore (CB, 31), Haason Reddick (OLB, 27), FULL LIST

Potential Franchise Tag: None.

Draft Picks: R1, R4 (HOU), R5 (JAX), R5, R6 (LV), R7 (TEN)

Extension Candidates

Stephon Gilmore (CB, 31)
It didn't take long for Gilmore to find himself back in the Top 10 CB ranks according to PFF. At 31 years old, a top of the market contract is likely out of the equation here, with Darius Slay’s $16.6M AAV signed at age 29 currently the oldest major contract on the books. Gilmore carries an $11M+ valuation into 2022. There's an outside chance that Carolina slaps a franchise tag on Gilmore to stop him from hitting the open market, but at $17.5M, it's a steep move.

Haason Reddick (EDGE, 27)
The numbers have been really good for two years now, first as a Cardinal, and lately with the Panthers. It stands to reason that someone is going to pony up a multi-year extension to charter his production, so why not Carolina? Bud Dupree’s 5 yr, $82.5M deal in Tennessee seems to be the benchmark.

D.J. Moore (WR, 24)
Moore is entering a contract year in 2022, with an $11.1M option salary to boot. He's posted 3 straight 1,000 yard seasons, with 12 touchdowns across that span. There's probably not a top of the market contract in his future, but a deal in the $18M per year range is certainly within reason.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Sam Darnold (QB, 24)
It's unlikely there will be a taker out there for Darnold at his current $18.8M price tag, but the Panthers agreeing to take on a portion of the salary could get a trade done. That's assuming of course that Carolina can acquire a proper upgrade for themselves at the QB position.

Christian McCaffrey (RB, 25)
Despite 4 years, $44M+ left on his contract, McCaffrey's guarantees run out after 2022, putting this at a practical 1 year, $8.6M commitment. With the Panthers in a bit of disarray offensively, it stands to reason they'll listen to offers. A pre June 1st move means $18.5M of dead cap to Carolina, which can split into $5.7M/$12.8M over two years if processed after that date.

New Orleans Saints

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: -$61M

Under Contract (40): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $12.5M

Notable Restricted Free Agents: Deonte Harris (WR, 24), Shy Tuttle (DT, 26), Carl Granderson (DE, 25), FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Terron Armstead (LT, 30), Marcus Williams (FS, 25), Jameis Winston (QB, 27),FULL LIST

Franchise Tag Candidate: Marcus Williams (FS, 25), projected $13M

Draft Picks: R1, R2, R3 (COMP), R3 (COMP), R4, R5, R7

Extension Candidates

Terron Armstead (LT, 30)
He’s been one of the best left tackles in football for awhile now, but has also never played an entire 16 game season in 9 years. With a contract set to expire this winter, and the Saints (naturally) in cap trouble heading toward the 2022 league year, it’s going to be complicated (but not impossible) to squeeze in the highest average offensive lineman contract in NFL history, but I’d still bet it gets done. The going rate is north of $23M per year.

Deonte Harris (WR, 24, RFA)
Currently serving a 3-game suspension for an off-field incident, Harris is a do-it-all player both as an offensive weapon and kick returner. He’s a downfield threat, an option in the slot, and certainly out of the backfield as well, putting him in legitimate conversation for a restricted offer sheet in the next few months. A second round tender ($3.9M) is highly likely from New Orleans, but a multi-year extension might be the smarter move. Tim Patrick’s 3 yr, $34M deal is a potential ceiling.

Marcus Williams (FS, 25)
Williams played 2021 on a franchise tag, and there's a decent chance New Orleans slaps another one on him next month. His patience has likely paid off, with new deals for Jamal Adams, Harrison Smith, & Justin Simmons pushing the safety market near $18M/year. Smith's $16M mark becomes the baseline here.

Marcus Davenport (DE, 25)
Davenport will be entering a contract year in 2022, with a fully guaranteed $9.8M option salary to boot. He's been a dominant edge defender when active, but staying on the field has been a problem as the 25 year old has seen action in just 47 of a possible 65 regular season games thus far. Davenport currently projects to a 4 year, $93M extension.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Michael Thomas (WR, 28)
Thomas' $15.35M salary for 2022 is guaranteed for injury currently, so the Saints are relying on the fact that he can pass a physical at the start of the league year to let them off the hook financially speaking. The current contract has 3 yrs, $51.95M left, but just the 2022 season contains early guarantees, so finding a trade partner isn't entirely out of the question here. If the plan is to release him, a Post June 1st designation seems the only answer, allowing the $22.7M of dead cap to split into $8.9M next year ($15.8M saved), $13.8M in 2022.

Malcolm Jenkins (FS, 34)
Jenkins still has games left in him, but the Saints will need to be creative with their financials yet again in 2022, putting his $11.7M cap figure on notice. A post June 1st release frees up $7.75M.

Bradley Roby (CB, 29)
Roby was acquired from Houston for a 3rd & 6th round pick, so it stands to reason that New Orleans would prefer to get another year out of the defensive back. A restructure is probably more likely here, a move that can free up $6.8M of cap space in 2022.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $31M

Under Contract (34): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $3.4M

Notable Restricted Free Agents: FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Chris Godwin (WR, 25), Leonard Fournette (RB, 26), Rob Gronkowski (TE, 32), Ronald Jones II (RB, 24), O.J. Howard (TE, 27), Ryan Jensen (C, 30), Ndamukong Suh (DT, 34), Jason Pierre-Paul (DE, 32), FULL LIST

Franchise Tag Candidate: Carlton Davis (CB, 24), projected $17.5M

Draft Picks: R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R7

Extension Candidates

Carlton Davis (CB, 24)
A quad injury has slowed Davis’ season following a superb 2020, and his rookie contract is set to expire this coming March. Can the Bucs keep this current NFC contender together while also paying Davis top of the market CB money? Davis currently projects to a 5 year, $98M extension.

Vita Vea (DT, 26)
Vea’s not quite having the Top 5 DT year that 2020 was, but his ability to be involved in the pass rush makes him a bigtime weapon for Tampa over the next few years. He’s been extension eligible for a year now, and holds a $7.6M salary in 2022. UPDATE: Vea locked into a 4 year, $73M extension with the Buccaneers

Potential Trades/Cuts

Cameron Brate (TE, 30)
With Rob Gronkowski & OJ Howard both headed for free agency, Brate is currently the only TE option on the roster. But a minimal production year factored with $6.8M of savings to be had puts him squarely on the bubble regardless.

2022 NFL Offseason Series: NFC North

Michael GinnittiJanuary 07, 2022
Assessing the upcoming offseason for each 2022 NFC North team, broken down by division, including projected cap space, players under contract, notable free agents, potential extension candidates, franchise tag possibilities, & trade/cut options.

Offseason Division Pieces

Chicago Bears

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $42M

Under Contract (32): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $3.2M

Notable Restricted Free Agents: FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Jason Peters (OT, 39), Allen Robinson (WR, 28), Akiem Hicks (DE, 32), FULL LIST

Franchise Tag Candidate: None.

Draft Picks: R2, R3, R5 (HOU), R5, R6

Extension Candidates

David Montgomery (RB, 24)
Montgomery has established himself as the dominant run option for Chicago over the past year and a half, with improved production in the passing game as well. He holds strong value over the last two years of his rookie deal ($1.1M, $1.2M), but should be in line for a 3-4 year extension tacked on. Joe Mixon’s 4 yr, $48M deal is a solid baseline.

Akiem Hicks (DE, 32)
Age isn’t slowing down Hicks, who remains a Top 20 defensive lineman according to PFF this year. While J.J. Watt’s $14M per year likely isn’t in reach, a 2 year extension in the $12M range could be.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Eddie Goldman (DT, 27)
Goldman probably has a few more above average years left in him, but a 2020 injury, and minimal production in 2021 put his $11.8M cap number on notice. There's $6.6M to be cleared here early, $8.8M if post June 1st.

Danny Trevathan (LB, 31)
Trevathan will finish the season on IR due to a knee injury, limiting his campaign to just 5 games in 2021. A post June 1st release frees up $3.5M of cap, but maybe more importantly $7M+ of cash.

Detroit Lions

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $38M

Under Contract (34): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $8.1M

Notable Restricted Free Agents: FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Kalif Raymond (WR, 27), Jalen Reeves-Maybin (OLB, 26), Charles Harris (DE, 26), FULL LIST

Potential Franchise Tag: None.

Draft Picks: R1, R1 (LAR), R2, R3, R3 (COMP), R5 (COMP), R6, R6 (COMP), R7 (CLE), R7 (NE)

Extension Candidates

T.J. Hockenson (TE, 24)
Hockenson becomes extension-eligible after 2021, having played 40 games over his first 3 NFL seasons. His 2020 numbers (67 catches, 723 yards, 6 TDs) are probably a pretty good indication of what his next few years will look, so tacking on a few years to the two remaining on his rookie deal seems fairly safe. 4 years, $50M is the current baseline.

Charles Harris (DE, 26)
Harris has enjoyed a breakout season in terms of pass rush (7.5 sacks, 60 tackles to date). Was this a one-off, or can he be relied on for this type of production over the next few seasons? If Detroit thinks it’s the latter, Carl Nassib’s 3 year, $25M contract makes sense.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Michael Brockers (DT, 31)
Brockers joined Detroit on a 3 year, $24M contract this past March, but had minimal impact over the course of his first season. With $4M of his 2022 salary fully guaranteed, an outright release is unlikely, but there's a potential trade to be found here.

Trey Flowers (OLB, 28)
Flowers has been active for only 29 games in his 3 seasons with Detroit, having reeled in over $54M for his efforts. The Lions are on the hook for his $1.625M roster bonus (which became fully guaranteed last March), but there's a path to freeing up over $10M of cap space here regardless ($16M with a post 6/1 designation).

Green Bay Packers

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: -$37M

Under Contract (42): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $647k

Notable Restricted Free Agents: Allen Lazard (WR, 26), FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Davante Adams (WR, 29), De'Vondre Campbell (OLB, 28), Kevin King (CB, 26), Robert Tonyan Jr. (TE, 27), Rasul Douglas (CB, 26), FULL LIST

Franchise Tag Candidate: Davante Adams (WR, 29), $20.12M

Draft Picks: R1, R2, R3, R4, R4 (COMP), R5, R7 (CHI), R7, R7 (COMP)

Extension Candidates

Aaron Rodgers (QB, 38)
Rodgers has 1 year, $27M left on the deal and is still performing at an MVP-caliber level, but it seems likely that money will be low on the list of whether or not he remains in GB to finish out his career. The 38-year-old holds a whopping $46.3M valuation in our system, projecting to a 3 year, $13 9M extension.

Davante Adams (WR, 29)
Adams’ current 4 yr, $58M is the biggest WR deal the Packers have given out in franchise history (by $18M). It’s likely going to take more than double that figure to keep him in the fold going forward. Adams projects to a 5 year, $133M extension currently in our system. A $20.1M tag will offer time to negotiate, though the Packers might need to slap an exclusive tag on him to keep other teams away (projects to about $23M).

Rashan Gary (OLB, 24)
Gary becomes extension eligible after 2021, with a Top 10 edge defender rank attached to his name, and production that nearly doubles his 2020 campaign. He's a $20M player based on the last two years, and a $25M player based on 2021 alone, so the Packers need to be prepared for a Bosa/Watt/Garrett type deal in their future.

Rasul Douglas  (CB, 26)
Douglas was released by the Texans in August, signed to the Cardinals p-squad in September, and signed from that squad to the Packers in October. Since then, he’s been one of their best defensive players, and a Top 20 graded cornerback in the league according to PFF. Is there a 4 year, $40M extension in the pending free agent’s future?

Preston Smith (OLB, 29)
Smith has 1 year, $12.5M left on his contract, but carries a $19.75M cap figure in 2022. Statistically speaking he’s having one of the best seasons of his career, and while GB will have bigger decisions to make, extending this contract out a few years for cap purposes seems to carry some logic. A rough 2020 holds his valuation down at $11M per year, but Leonard Floyd’s $16M per year extension could be in the cards here. Za'Darius Smith is in an almost identical situation here, but a back injury puts him a bit behind the eight ball right now.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Aaron Rodgers (QB, 38)
He's only here because we feel obligated to do so, but conventional logic says neither side should be considering a divorce just yet. With that said, it isn't unreasonable to consider that Rodgers could retire should he and GB win it all this season. If the trade talk does come back into the fold, here's the deal. There's $26.8M of dead cap on the contract next year, which could split up unto $19.1/$7.6M over two years if a trade is done after June 1st, but that seems highly unlikely. An early trade frees up $19.3M of cap space, $26.9M of cash (and sends the entire organization into shock).

Randall Cobb (WR, 31)
Cobb was actually highly productive (as Rodgers expected), returning to the Packers' system. They may have to restructure/keep him if Aaron requests it, but a $9.6M cap hit seems too rich on the surface versus the $6.8M to be saved by moving on in some fashion.

Za'Darius Smith (OLB, 29)
It doesn't seem reasonable that Za'Darius, Preston Smith, & Rashan Gary remain together through 2022, especially since they currently account for a whopping $53M of cap next season. An extension for Gary, and a restructure on one of the Smith's seems logical. There's $15.75M to free up by moving on from Za'Darius, and $12.5M by moving on from Preston.

Minnesota Vikings

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: -$11M

Under Contract (47): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $7M

Notable Restricted Free Agents: None.

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Anthony Barr (OLB, 29), Patrick Peterson (CB, 31), Sheldon Richardson (DT, 31), Xavier Woods (FS, 26), FULL LIST

Franchise Tag Candidate: None.

Draft Picks: R1, R2, R3, R5 (BAL), R6 (NYJ), R6, R6 (KC), R7 (DEN)

Extension Candidates

Kirk Cousins (QB, 33)
Cousins has had Top 5 production across many statistical categories in 2021, but the wins just aren’t there to back them up. With that said, he’s entering a contract year in 2022, with a $45M cap hit to boot. In some fashion, this contract is getting addressed over the offseason (trade, restructure, extension, etc…).

Xavier Woods (FS, 26)
The veteran FS is on pace for his most productive season ever, playing on a slightly above minimum contract for 2021. If he’s primed for a starting role in 2022, a $4M per year deal becomes his baseline.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Kirk Cousins (QB, 33)
Statistically speaking, Cousins has never disappointed, but his contract becomes daunting when stacking it up against big wins, and playoff appearances. With 1 year, $35M (fully guaranteed) left, this is still a very tradable contract, and it stands to reason that a few calls could be made in that regard. Minnesota would take on $10M of dead cap with a trade away, freeing up $35M of cap and cash in the process.

Danielle Hunter (DE, 27)
Hunter missed the entire 2020 season (neck), and half of 2021 (torn pec), with injuries so there's a long road ahead still. Factor in a $26.12M cap hit for 2022 (thanks to an $18.5M roster bonus), and it's a certainty that something is forthcoming with the edge rusher's contract. At this point, a trade then restructure still seems feasible, a move that would leave $7.4M of dead cap with Minnesota, freeing up $18.64M of cap space.

Assessing the upcoming offseason for each 2022 NFC East team, broken down by division, including projected cap space, players under contract, notable free agents, potential extension candidates, franchise tag possibilities, & trade/cut options.

Offseason Division Pieces

Dallas Cowboys

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: -$11M

Under Contract (42): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $7M

Notable Restricted Free Agents: Luke Gifford (LB, 26)

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Michael Gallup (WR, 25), Randy Gregory (OLB, 29), Dalton Schultz (TE, 25), Jayron Kearse (S, 27), Connor Williams (G, 24), FULL LIST

Franchise Tag Candidate: Dalton Schultz (TE, 25), projected $11M

Draft Picks: R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R5 (COMP), R6

Extension Candidates

Dalton Schultz (TE, 25)
Schultz has 140 catches , 1400 yards, and 10 TDs in the past two seasons, taking over for the injured Blake Jarwin in each. Jarwin's contract can be moved on from this March, paving the way for a franchise tag and subsequent extension for Schultz. He projects to 4 years, $51M.

Connor Williams (G, 24)
The Cowboys are simply a better offensive line with Williams in it, specifically at left guard. He's set to hit the open market this March, and Connor McGovern has 1 year left on his team-friendly rookie contract, but with Dallas in win-now mode, shoring up the best O-Line possible seems the right play. Williams projects to 4 years, $53M.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Blake Jarwin (TE, 27)
Jarwin has bigtime production ability, but back to back injured seasons, and the emergence of Dalton Schultz, puts his 2 years, $11.5M remaining on notice. There's $4.25M of cap space to be cleared with an early release.

New York Giants

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $2.8M

Under Contract (43): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $289k

Notable Restricted Free Agents: None.

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Evan Engram (TE, 27), Nate Solder (OT, 33), Jabrill Peppers (S, 26), FULL LIST

Potential Franchise Tag: None.

Draft Picks: R1, R1 (CHI), R2, R3, R3 (MIA), R4 (CHI), R5, R5 (KC), R6

Extension Candidates

James Bradberry (CB, 28)
After a strong 2020 campaign with the Giants, Bradberry’s 2021 numbers have admittedly dipped, but the Giants don’t appear headed for a rip the band-aid off rebuild, so keeping the veteran in the fold makes sense. Bradberry projects to a $12.5M per year extension.

Saquon Barkley (RB, 24)
While this certainly doesn’t seem likely right now, with the QB position in disarray, locking in a potential high-ceiling weapon like Barkley isn’t completely out of the question. With 2 years, $17M (fully guaranteed) remaining on his rookie contract, and a franchise tag available thereafter if necessary, the only logical reason to extend Barkley now is to have control over his cap hits ($10M in 2022, $7.2M in 2023). Barkley projects to a $5.2M per year extension.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Sterling Shepard (WR, 28)
There's a lot to like about Shepard, but he's failed to complete a full season for three straight years now, and with Golladay & Toney now in the mix, his role was already in line to be diminished. Both sides could stand for a change of scenery, and the Giants can free up $4.5M with an early release, $8.5M after June 1st.

Kyle Rudolph (TE, 32)
Rudolph's cap number jumps up $3M in 2022 ($7.425M), and when factoring in minimal production in 2021, and the Giants snug with cap space, there's little reason to believe he remains in his contract. New York can free up $5M of space by moving on.

Blake Martinez (LB, 27)
Martinez was good in 2020, but a torn ACL cut his 2021 campaign short after just 3 weeks. He's a player who can still contribute when healthy, but a $14M cap figure for 2022 right now has to be addressed somehow. Moving on frees up $8.5M.

Philadelphia Eagles

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $13.8M

Under Contract (37): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $22M

Notable Restricted Free Agents: Boston Scott (RB, 26), Nate Herbig (G, 23), Greg Ward (WR, 26), FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Jason Kelce (C, 34), Derek Barnett (DE, 25), Anthony Harris (S, 30), Steven Nelson (CB, 28), FULL LIST

Franchise Tag Candidate: None.

Draft Picks: R1 (MIA), R1, R1 (IND), R2, R3, R4, R5 (WSH), R5, R5 (ARI), R6 (IND), R6 (TB)

Extension Candidates

Isaac Seumalo (OL, 28)
Seumalo hit the IR after just 3 weeks with broken bones in his foot, but there’s a long-term spot for him on this O-Line, at the very least in a versatile reserve role. With experience at center, and Jason Kelce headed for potential retirement, it makes sense to tag on a few years to the 1 year, $5.6M left on his current deal.

Miles Sanders (RB, 24)
Between Hurts, Sanders, Scott, & Howard, the Eagles have benefited from a rush-by-committee in 2021. Sanders carries team friendly cap hits of $1.4M, $1.7M through 2023, so there’s no rush to lock in a deal on paper, but jumping in early on this deal could provide value in years 3 & 4. 3 years, $12.5M is the current projection.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Gardner Minshew (QB, 25)
The Eagles acquired minshew just prior to Week 1 for a 6th round pick, and he looked every bit the part in limited snaps behind Jalen Hurts this season. It's tough to guage where the QB position is going for Philly, who have overachieved a bit in 2021, but could very much be in the running for one of the splashy veteran names being thrown around. In any sense, Minshew may be a wanted man by teams in much more need at the position, and his 1 year minimum salary should be very tradable.

Washington Football Team

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $59M

Under Contract (36): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $702k

Notable Restricted Free Agents: Kyle Allen (QB, 25), FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Brandon Scherff (G, 29), Cornelius Lucas (OT, 30), J.D. McKissic (RB, 28), FULL LIST

Franchise Tag Candidate: None.

Draft Picks: R1, R2, R3, R4, R6, R7

Extension Candidates

Terry McLaurin (WR, 26)
McLaurin becomes extension eligible after 2021, and has established himself as the clearcut #1 weapon for the WFT. The 26 year old averages 14 yards per catch, and currently values at $18M per year. With question marks at the QB position, he may not be ready to lock in long-term this offseason.

Brandon Scherff (G, 29)
Scherff is a pending UFA having played out an $18M 2nd franchise tag in 2021. It’ll take topping Joe Thuney’s 5 year, $80M contract in Kansas City to vie for his services going forward.

Montez Sweat (DE, 25)
The former 1st round pick becomes extension eligible after 2021, and should be next in line to cash in on the defensive line in Washington. Trey Hendrickson's recent 4 yr, $60M becomes a baseline for Sweat, who holds a $17.5M valuation heading toward the offseason.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Matthew Ioannidis (DT, 27)
The WFT's D-Line is loaded with youngsters, most of which are nearing the point of their big-time extensions. With pass-rush production all but diminished over the past two seasons, Ioannidis' trade or release can free up $6.9M of cap & cash this offseason.

James Conner & Chase Edmonds handled nearly every snap for the Cardinals, and are both on expiring contracts. Conner probably has the better chance of the two to return, with a $6M valuation attached to his offseason.

Atlanta Falcons

RB1: UFA | RB2: 1 yr, $3.25M

Mike Davis entered 2021 as one of the fantasy sleeper darlings. He was quickly pushed into an RB2 role with the explosion of Cordarrelle Patterson onto the scene. Davis holds a $3.25M cap hit for 2022, while Patterson is set to carry a $9M valuation to the open market. He’s a fringe franchise tag candidate.

Baltimore Ravens

RB1; 2 yrs, $2.5M | RB2: 2 yrs, $8.6M

We’re referencing two running backs here, JK Dobbins, & Gus Edwards, who didn’t see a snap in 2021 but should still be the expected 1-2 punch for the Ravens in 2022. If they’re healthy, this has extremely high ceiling potential.

Buffalo Bills

RB1: 1 yr, $965k  | RB2: 2 yrs, $2.1M

Devin Singletary & ??Zack Moss don’t appear to be the long-term solutions for Buffalo, but with extremely friendly rookie salaries in front of them, it makes little sense to move on without cause. The Bills could be in the market for a veteran upgrade here, so a late offseason trade for one of these two may be on the table.

Carolina Panthers

RB1: 4 yrs, $44M ($8M GTD) | RB2: 3 yrs, $2.7M

Christian McCaffrey’s roster spot will likely be a hot topic early this offseason, as the 25 year old hit the injury list again in 2021. But with $8.1M of his 2022 salary fully guaranteed, & $26.6M of dead cap attached to his 2022 season, it’s safe to assume he sticks, barring a trade of course. Chuba Hubbard filled in admirably for a few 2021 weeks, and his rookie contract makes him a lock to remain in that role.

Chicago Bears

RB1: 1 yr, $965k | RB2: 2 yrs, $9.75M

David Montgomery enters the offseason as a prominent extension candidate, currently valuing to a 4 year, $51M contract. A healthy Tarik Cohen should rejoin this rotation as the #2 back, but his recovery from a torn ACL has been slow going thus far. $2.5M of Cohen’s 2022 salary is guaranteed for injury, and will become fully guaranteed in March.


Cincinnati Bengals

RB1: 3 yrs, $29M | RB2: 1 yr, $1.5M

A healthy Joe Mixon has proved to be one of the best RBs in the league, and while his contract is in a pay-as-you-go structure from here out, Cincy should have no problem playing out two more years on the current contract. His $11.45M cap hit for 2022 makes him a base salary restructure candidate. Samaje Perine should stick as the RB2 with a $1.8M cap hit for 2022.

 

Cleveland Browns

RB1: 3 yrs, $27.2M | RB2: 1 yr, $6.25M

The Browns possess one of the best one-two punches in the league, and should continue to see major value out of the group through 2022. Nick Chubb ($5.2M) & Kareem Hunt ($6.25M) combine for $11.4M of cap next season, while fill-in D’Ernest Johnson should qualify for a RFA tender of $2.4M.

 

Dallas Cowboys

RB1: 5 yrs, $65.3M ($12.4M GTD) | RB2: 1 yr, $965k

Ezekiel Elliott’s contract seems ridiculous at this stage, but the guarantees tell a much different story. Elliott’s $12.4M 2022 salary is already guaranteed, and his $18.2M cap hit screams for another base salary restructure, which would free up over $9M, but raise his 2023 dead cap hit to $20.9M. Dallas’ RB1B Tony Pollard enters a contract year in 2022, on a minimum $965k salary, carrying a $4M per year valuation. Will a Pollard extension signal a one and done situation for Zeke?

 

Denver Broncos

RB1: UFA | RB2 : 3 yrs, $4.3M

Javonte Williams appears primed to take over the RB1 role with Melvin Gordon headed for free agency. Despite being 28, Gordon still holds a $5M+ valuation heading toward the open market, and could be in consideration for teams like Miami, Houston, or Tampa. Denver will likely be in the market for a mid round RB in the draft, or a vet. minimum option in free agency.

Detroit Lions

RB1: 2 yrs, $3M | 1 yr, $3.75M

D'Andre Swift’s role as a pass-catching RB was further established in 2021, and should become a large part of the Lions’ offense over the next 2 seasons, if he can stay on the field. Veteran Jamaal Williams holds a slightly high $4.375M cap hit in 2022 in regards to an RB2, and it’s possible that youngster Jermar Jefferson beats him out for that role, but keeping everyone in the fold probably more sense as well here.

Green Bay Packers

RB1: 3 yrs, 33.75M | RB2: 2 yrs, $2.3M

Aaron Jones & ??A.J. Dillon represent one of the best combos in football, and with question marks at the QB position going forward in Green Bay, could be one of the more relied on duos as well. Jones has no additional guaranteed salary left on his contract, but an early March roster bonus ($3.75M) secures his contract through 2022. It becomes “year-to-year” thereafter. Dillon’s lack of a role has his early valuation down at $3M, but expanded opportunities (especially as a pass catcher) should see this more than double in the coming months.

Houston Texans

RB1: UFA | RB2: UFA

This is going to be a trend for Houston across many positional categories, as the 2021 team is comprised largely of 1 year contracts. 30 year old David Johnson & 31 year old Rex Burkhead probably won’t factor into the future plans, though Johnson still has the ability to snag a few balls out of the air with regularity. He carries a $1.5M valuation into free agency this March. The Texans have two 3rd round picks in 2022, a seemingly perfect spot to find their next big RB weapon for the future.

 

Indianapolis Colts

RB1: 2 years, $3M | RB2: 3 yrs, $13.9M

Well there’s certainly no question who the RB1 will be going forward. ??Jonathan Taylor isn’t just the best running back in football, but a strong MVP candidate as well. His rookie contract runs through 2023, and he’ll become extension eligible after the 2022 season. He projects currently to a 5 year, $76M extension. Nyheim Hines, a versatile option behind Taylor, is fully guaranteed through 2022 at $3.3M.

 

Jacksonville Jaguars

RB1: 1 yr, $895k | RB2: 3 yrs, $5.4M

Both James Robinson & Travis Etienne will be recovering from injuries this offseason, but for now we’ll assume them as the top two options for 2022. Robinson is eligible for restricted free agency after 2022, and holds an $8.8M valuation currently.

Kansas City Chiefs

RB1: 2 yrs, $3.5M + option | RB2: UFA

A Clyde Edwards-Helaire does seem a nice fit for this high-flying offense, and he’s under team control through 2024. Very capable backup Darrel Williams is a pending free agent, carrying a $2.2M valuation currently. At 26, he may be seeking a last shot at a starting role & contract.

Las Vegas Raiders

RB1 : 1 yr, $2.1M + option | RB2: 1 yr, $8M

Josh Jacobs isn’t having quite the rushing year he’s showed in his previous two seasons, but with 50+ catches out of the backfield he’s established himself as a more dangerous weapon than anticipated. He’s an extension candidate this winter, projecting to a 4 year, $40M deal right now. It’s still hard to understand the Kenyan Drake signing last March, but the near 28 year old has $5.5M fully guaranteed in 2022, as he recovers from a broken ankle.

Los Angeles Chargers

RB1: 2 yrs, $10.75M | RB2 : UFA

$1.25M of Austin Ekeler’s $5M salary for 2022 becomes fully guaranteed in early March, further supplanting the 26 year old in his RB1 role for another season. Justin Jackson posted a solid 2021 in a backup role, and should be on the radar of a few teams this offseason for a larger opportunity. It stands to reason that 2020 4th round pick Josh Kelley will slide into the RB2 role for 2022.

Los Angeles Rams

RB1: 2 yrs, $2.5M | RB2: 1 yr, $1M

Sony Michel’s success in this offense has generated some confusion with the RB group going forward, but it’s unlikely that the Rams retain him on the contract he’ll be seeking (or the one Miami will offer him). For now, Cam Akers should retain the RB1 role, locked in through 2023, and Darrell Henderson will enter a contract year as the RB2. There’s probably a near-minimum veteran to be signed here next March.

Miami Dolphins

RB1:1 yr, $965k | RB2: UFA

Myles Gaskin has proven to be a nice, but limited, option out of the backfield in Miami. The Dolphins are a team poised to sign or draft a major asset or two at this position over the next few months. Gaskin enters a contract year on a rookie minimum, so he’ll likely stick in a depth role.

Minnesota Vikings

RB1: 4 yrs, $46M | RB2: 1 yr, $965k

Dalvin Cook’s contract actually possesses an out after 2021, but that’s a ridiculous idea to entertain (for now). In fact, a base salary restructure for Cook can free up nearly $6M of cap space for the Vikings in 2022. His dependable backup Alexander Mattison is entering a contract year in 2022, on a minimum $965k salary. Mattison holds a $2.5M valuation currently.

New England Patriots

RB1: 1 yr, $965k | RB2: 3 yrs, $2.8M

Damien Harris has shown big game potential the past season and half, but enters a contract year in 2022. Is he primed for the prototypical $4M-$5M per year extension in New England? RB2 Rhamondre Stevenson is a gamer, and should have no trouble sticking on minimum salaries for 2-3 more years, with RB1 in his sights if Harris isn’t re-signed.

New Orleans Saints

RB1: 4 yrs, $59M | RB2: 1 yr, $2.3M

With the QB position in flux, and the cap issues certain to cause more casualties on the defensive side of the ball (and potentially OL), Alvin Kamara may be in for quite a workload in 2022. His $11.5M salary in 2022 is already fully guaranteed, and $4M of his 2023 compensation locks in this coming March. A simple restructure on Kamara’s 2022 compensation can free up $8.3M of cap space for New Orleans (book it.). Meanwhile, RB2 Mark Ingram has already been extended through the 2022 season, and should be locked into that spot.

New York Giants

RB1: 1 yr, $7.2M | RB2: 1 yr, $2M

Saquon Barkley will be heading toward the 5th and final year of his rookie contract in 2022, likely without a contract extension under his belt. A good year likely prompts a franchise tag in 2023. Backup Devontae Booker carries a non-guaranteed $2M salary for next season, with $1M to be freed up if the Giants look elsewhere.

New York Jets

RB1: 3 yrs, $2.8M | RB2: UFA

Michael Carter appears to have a real chance to secure and thrive in a RB1 role going forward, and the Jets will have him on minimum salaries through 2024. Tevin Coleman likely walks into free agency, leaving Ty Johnson & La'Mical Perine under rookie contracts to vie for a potential RB2 role. There’s probably a veteran signing to be made here.

Philadelphia Eagles

RB1: 1 yr, $1.2M | RB2: RFA

Miles Sanders has enough talent to be an RB1 in this league, but he struggles to stay on the field for large chunks of time. He’ll enter a contract year in 2022, and is a fringe extension candidate. Boston Scott will need an RFA tender (or a multi-year extension) this winter, and Philly will need to choose between an original round tender (6th round pick, $2.5M), or a 2nd round tender ($3.9M). Kenneth Gainwell showed nice flashes in his first season, and could be a factor in additional contracts for Sanders/Scott.

Pittsburgh Steelers

RB1: 3 yrs, $5.5M + option | RB2: 1 yr, $965k

Safe to say Najee Harris hasn’t had the start to his NFL that he and we all expected, but anyone with knowledge of the offensive line that was slapped together for Pittsburgh in 2021 should know that better days are likely coming. Benny Snell Jr. has a 1 year minimum salary left, but could be upgraded this offseason.

San Francisco 49ers

RB1: 3 yrs, $3.2M | RB2: 3 yrs, $2.8M

Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson, & Trenton Cannon are all slated for free agency, and will likely walk there thanks to a talented group ready to take over in ??Trey Sermon, Elijah Mitchell, & JaMycal Hasty. Trey Lance should have plenty of help out of the backfield in 2022.

Seattle Seahawks

RB1: 1 yr, $4.925M | RB2: UFA

Chris Carson’s future isn’t exactly secure, as the 27 year old is recovering from disc-fusion surgery. But his return to health should mean he slots back into a starting role, on a non-guaranteed $4.9M salary. Rashaad Penny & Alex Collins have both shown nice flashes this seasons, but it’s likely both walk into free agency as well, leaving Travis Homer (1 yr, $965k), & DeeJay Dallas (2 yrs, $1.9M) to vie for the RB2 role.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

RB1: UFA | RB2: UFA

Will Leonard Fournette take another slight discount to remain as Tom Brady’s backfield weapon, or will a RB-needy team make an offer the Bucs simply can’t match this offseason? Fournette projects to a 2 year, $12M contract currently. With Ronald Jones II almost certain to hit the open market, Ke'Shawn Vaughn (2 yrs, $2.2M) has a legitimate chance to gain a starting role in 2022 - possibly even the RB1 spot.

Tennessee Titans

RB1: 2 yrs, $24.5M | RB2: 2 yrs, $2.1M

Derrick Henry’s contract contains an out after 2021, but nobody in their right mind expects that to be considered. It’s much more likely a base restructure is applied to free up cap for other team needs, adding a little more dead cap to 2023. The RB2 role is likely Darrynton Evans’s to lose, as both Jeremy McNichols & D'Onta Foreman are headed for free agency.

Washington Football Team

RB1: 2 yrs, $2.2M | RB2: UFA

Antonio Gibson should return as the featured back in 2022, with 2 years remaining on his rookie contract. The backup role is up for grabs, as 28 year old J.D. McKissic is a pending free agent. McKissic holds a $3.5M valuation, which should be considered with his ability to catch balls out of the backfield. UDFA Jaret Patterson could slide into the RB2 role as well.

2022 NFL Offseason Series: AFC South

Michael GinnittiJanuary 01, 2022
Assessing the upcoming offseason for each 2022 AFC South team, broken down by division, including projected cap space, players under contract, notable free agents, potential extension candidates, franchise tag possibilities, & trade/cut options.

Offseason Division Pieces

Houston Texans

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $39M

Under Contract (29): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $35M

Notable Restricted Free Agents: None.

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Tyrod Taylor (QB, 32), David Johnson (RB, 30), Maliek Collins (DT, 26), FULL LIST

Franchise Tag Candidate: None.

Draft Picks: R1, R2, R3, R3 (NO), R4 (LAR), R6, R6 (SF), R6 (GB), R7 (DAL)

Extension Candidates

Brandin Cooks (WR, 28)
It was a surprise that Cooks wasn’t moved at the trade deadline, and now just weeks later it seems plausible that a multi-year extension to keep him in Houston could make sense as well. With Davis Mills trending toward being the 2022 QB, quickly building up pieces around him will be the plan, and Cooks certainly fits that bill. With 1 year, $13.7M left on his current deal, a 4 year, $68M extension could be in the cards.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Deshaun Watson (QB, 26)
Watson held out the entire 2021 season, a $10.54M healthy scratch. His off-field legal issues are well-documented, and should have some form of resolution in Februrary 2022, just before the window to trade him will re-open for Houston. His contract holds 4 yrs, $136M left on it, $35M of which is fully guaranteed today, another $37M of which locks in this coming March. The Texans will free up $24.2M of cap space with an early offseason trade and it seems likely there will be a handful of suitors willing to offer multiple Top 100 picks for his services going forward.

Indianapolis Colts

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $57M

Under Contract (35): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $818k

Notable Restricted Free Agents: Ashton Dulin (WR, 24), FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Eric Fisher (OT, 30), T.Y. Hilton (WR, 32), Mark Glowinski (OG, 29)
Xavier Rhodes (CB, 31), Al-Quadin Muhammad (DE, 26), FULL LIST

Potential Franchise Tag: None.

Draft Picks: R2, R3, R4, R5, R5 (COMP), R6 (COMP), R7 (PHI), R7

Extension Candidates

Quenton Nelson (OG, 25)
One the games premier guards has a $13.75M 5th year left on his rookie contract for 2022. At some point between now and then, it’s hard to imagine him not becoming the highest paid guard in NFL history. For now, that means $16M per year, $47M guaranteed.

Matt Pryor (OT, 27)
While Eric Fisher was brought in to be Carson Wentz’s safety guard, his injuries have afforded Pryor a chance to take on the bigger role, and he’s been up to the challenge for the most part. A buy low extension for Pryor might be strong value for Indy, even if he reverts back to the right side of the line eventually.

Rock Ya-Sin (CB, 25)
The former 2nd round pick becomes extension eligible after 2021, and could become a very important part of the Colts secondary with Xavier Rhodes headed for free agency. Michael Davis' 3 year, $25M deal with the Chargers is a safe comp.

Potential Trades/Cuts

TBD

Jacksonville Jaguars

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $71M

Under Contract (37): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $18M

Notable Restricted Free Agents: Andrew Wingard (S, 25), FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Cam Robinson (OT, 26), Andrew Norwell (OG, 30), DJ Chark (WR, 25), FULL LIST

Franchise Tag Candidate: Cam Robinson (OT, 26), projected $16.5M.

Draft Picks: R1, R2, R3, R3 (CAR), R4, R5, R6, R6 (SEA), R6 (PIT), R6 (PHI), R7, R7 (BAL)

Extension Candidates

Cam Robinson (OT, 26)
Robinson probably isn't the long-term option for Trevor Lawrence's blindside, and the advanced metrics are very much against his services, but the Jags can't go backwards at this position even for one season. Keeping Robinson in the fold as they attempt to upgrade him via the draft or free agency (or both) isn't the worst idea in the world. The Jags have plenty of cap space to work with, so a second franchise tag ($16.5M) could also be in the cards here.

Josh Allen (OLB, 24)
The other Josh Allen becomes extension eligible after the 2021 season, and should be locked in as the cornerstone defensive player for Jacksonville going forward. After an outstanding rookie year, Allen missed half of 2020, but has rebounded nicely through his third campaign. Matt Judon's 4 yr, $54M deal is the current baseline comp, though Allen's ceiling puts him in content for a $20M per year contract.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Carlos Hyde (RB, 31)
Hyde filled in admirably throughout the season with Etienne going down early, and Robinson injured late in the year. The return of both, plus a restricted tender for Dare Ogunbowale, should be Hyde's spot in question, who may be seeking brighter skies himself anyway. Jacksonville can clear $2M of his $2.45M cap hit by moving on.

Chris Manhertz (TE, 29)
Manhertz isn't going to pile up pass-catching numbers, but has value in other facets of the game. The acquisition of Dan Arnold lessens his role a bit, and should Luke Farrell or an offseason addition outperform him over the summer, there's nearly $2M to be saved here.

Tennessee Titans

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $14M

Under Contract (37): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $760k

Notable Restricted Free Agents: Derick Roberson (LB, 26), FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Harold Landry  (EDGE, 25), Jayon Brown (LB, 26), Matthias Farley (S, 29), Ben Jones (C, 32), x David Quessenberry (OT, 31), FULL LIST

Franchise Tag Candidate: Harold Landry  (EDGE, 25), projected $18.5M

Draft Picks: R1, R3, R4, R4 (COMP), R5, R6, R6 (COMP)

Extension Candidates

Harold Landry  (EDGE, 25)
Landry has more than filled the void that Bud Dupree was supposed to cover when the Titans locked him in at $16.5M per year this past March. Landry’s projection currently sits at 4 yrs, $70M.

Jeffery Simmons (DL, 24)
Simmons is rounding into one of the more versatile DLs in the game, and should be high on the list of Titans players to be locked up. With that said, pass rush probably ranks higher on the pecking order right now. The going rate for a pass rushing interior lineman starts at $18M per year, with $20M plus a very strong reality. 

A.J. Brown (WR, 24)
Brown has big play ability anytime he’s on the field, and there have been games that he’s simply put the team on his back. But the overall resume looks a heck of a lot like Kenny Golladay’s as he entered free agency this past March, and the current valuation (4 years, $71M) looks alot like that too.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Kendall Lamm (OT, 29)
Lamm has been reduced to a depth role (less than 100 snaps) putting his $4.15M cap figure for 2022 highly in question. With just $850,000 of dead cap attached to the deal, there's $3.3M of cap space to be freed up by moving on.

2022 NFL Offseason Series: AFC West

Michael GinnittiJanuary 01, 2022
Breaking down the upcoming offseason for each 2022 NFL team, broken down by division, including projected cap space, players under contract, notable free agents, potential extension candidates, franchise tag possibilities, & trade/cut options.

Offseason Division Pieces

Denver Broncos

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $49M

Under Contract (38): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $6.3M

Notable Restricted Free Agents:DeShawn Williams (DT, 29), Malik Reed (LB, 25), FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Teddy Bridgewater (QB, 29), Melvin Gordon (RB, 28), A.J. Johnson (LB, 30), Josey Jewell (LB, 27), Kenny Young (LB, 26), Kareem Jackson (S, 33), FULL LIST

Franchise Tag Candidate: None.

Draft Picks: R1, R2, R2 (LAR), R3, R3 (LAR), R4, R5 (DET), R5, R7 (SF)

Extension Candidates

Bradley Chubb (EDGE, 25)
Chubb has battled injuries in 2 of his 4 seasons with Denver, but has 19.5 sacks combined in the other 2. There’s a high ceiling here, and with Von Miller not out of the equation, it stands to reason that Chubb is paid the long-term money, especially if the plan is to drop a veteran QB onto this roster in 2022. Chubb holds a $12.7M 5th year on his rookie contract, so a deal this offseason isn’t imperative. Games missed has his calculated value around $13.5M, with Matt Judon’s recent contract in New England as the closest comp.

Noah Fant (TE, 24)
Fant becomes extension eligible after 2021, and while the focus will be on finding a new QB to man the ship, it’s within reason that locking in their former #20 overall selection is in the cards this offseason as well. Jonnu Smith is the best comp currently, leading to a 4 year, $51M valuation.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Drew Lock (QB, 25)
Lock squandered his chance to be the next franchise QB for the Broncos, and the guarantees on his rookie contract expired in 2021. There's $1.45M of cap & cash to be cleared by moving on this offseason.

Kansas City Chiefs

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $29M

Under Contract (30): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $2.3M

Notable Restricted Free Agents: Marcus Kemp (WR, 26), FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Tyrann Mathieu (S, 29), Orlando Brown Jr. (LT, 25), Charvarius Ward (LB, 26), Byron Pringle (WR, 28), Darrel Williams (RB, 26), FULL LIST

Franchise Tag Candidate: Orlando Brown Jr. (LT, 25), projected $16.5M

Draft Picks: R1, R2, R3, R4, R6 (BAL), R7 (MIN), R7 (LV), R7, R7 (COMP), R7 (COMP)

Extension Candidates

Tyrann Mathieu (S, 29)
Mathieu’s been vocal about wanting/expecting a new deal with the Chiefs, and for all intents, his numbers back up that request. Harrison Smith’s $16M mark is likely the pricepoint he’s looking for, though the calculated valuation stands at just over $15M per year currently.

Orlando Brown Jr. (LT, 25)
Brown grades out about the same as a left tackle that he did as a right tackle, though Patrick Mahomes is currently on pace to be handed the most sacks in his career. The reality here is that KC doled out a 1st, 3rd, & 4th round pick to bring Brown in, so a multi-year extension is happening, and our projections put that at 5 years, $90M currently.

Tyreek Hill (WR, 27)
Hill’s 2022 cap figure jumps to $20M in 2022, so a restructure is highly likely. Still just 27-years-old, Hill values to a 4 year, $88M extension right now, or 5 years, $106M total.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Frank Clark (DE, 28)
Clark can still be a factor on the edge, but time missed and a bit of decline puts his $26.3M cap figure on notice in 2022. With just $12.9M of dead cap attached to the deal, a post June 1st release means nearly $20M of cap space cleared for the Chiefs.

Anthony Hitchens (LB, 29)
Hitchens will be entering a contract year in 2022, with a $12.7M cap figure attached to it. The 29-year-old has been consistently solid in 4 seasons with the Chiefs, but there's reason to believe his off-ball position could be upgraded in a cheaper capacity going forward. KC can free up $8.5M by moving on.

Las Vegas Raiders

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $39M

Under Contract (34): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $9.1M

Notable Restricted Free Agents: Alec Ingold (FB, 25), FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Casey Hayward (CB, 32), Zay Jones (WR, 26), K.J. Wright (LB, 32), Quinton Jefferson (DL, 28), Marcus Mariota (QB, 28), FULL LIST

Potential Franchise Tag: None.

Draft Picks: R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R5 (NE), R7 (CAR)

Extension Candidates

Derek Carr (QB, 30)
Carr seems to be in a similar tier with Kirk Cousins, whereas the numbers look great most of the time, he possesses a lot of the qualities a franchise QB should have, and yet big game wins and "elite" talent alludes him. He's the 11th rated QB according to PFF currently, and his contract has 1 year, $19.8M remanining on it through 2022. A cap-adjusted version of Ryan Tannehill's extension in Tennessee could be on the table here, 4 years, $125M.

Hunter Renfrow (WR, 25)
The 5th round pick from 2019 becomes extension eligible this offseason, with a $965,000 salary remaining on his rookie contract. The Raiders possess plenty of question marks at the wide receiver position, so locking in a model of consistency like Renfrow makes a lot of sense. The 25 year old should be pushing north of Tim Patrick’s recent deal in Denver, around the 3 year, $40M mark.

Josh Jacobs (RB, 23)
The former 1st-round pick is finding work as a pass-catcher in 2021, further elevating his value as a young running back. Jacobs become extension eligible after 2021, currently holding a $10M valuation, but that figure will continue to rise as dual threat option, with Aaron Jones' 4 yrs, $48M easily in his sights.

Maxx Crosby (DE, 24)
Crosby is currently the 2nd highest rated edge defender in football according to PFF and becomes extension eligible for the first time this winter. The 4th round pick out of Eastern Michigan has had standout performances in 2021, and is a major reason the Raiders remain in the hunt. Crosby projects to a 4 year, $55M deal currently.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Clelin Ferrell (DE, 24)
Ferrell holds a fully guaranteed $4.7M salary for 2022, with a $9.9M cap figure to boot. While a trade would certainly be ideal, an outright release seems more likely here, even it won't free up any cap space.

Yannick Ngakoue (DE, 26)
Ngakoue has probably done enough to stick on this roster one more year, but his $15M cap hit in 2022 is probably too rich to keep in its current state. The deal was always setup to be a 1 year tender with an option in year two, so a restructure or extension is highly likely here to help reduce the hit. His $8M roster bonus is already fully guaranteed, and converting all $13M of his compenations into bonus can free up over $6M of cap space for Las Vegas.

Los Angeles Chargers

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $71M

Under Contract (34): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $327k

Notable Restricted Free Agents: Storm Norton(G, 27), Jalen Guyton (WR, 24), FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Mike Williams (WR, 27), Chris Harris (CB, 32), Linval Joseph (DT, 33)
Jared Cook (TE, 34), FULL LIST

Franchise Tag Candidate: Mike Williams (WR, 27), projected $18.5M

Draft Picks: R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R6 (COMP), R7, R7 (COMP), R7 (COMP), R7 (COMP)

Extension Candidates

Derwin James (S, 25)
James holds a $9M fully guaranteed 5th year salary in 2022, which actually ranks 11th in safety cash right now. He carries a $15.7M valuation toward the new year, projecting to a 5 year, $78M extension. 

Mike Williams (WR, 27)
A few months ago this extension would have been laughable, but QB Justin Herbert and Williams have developed clear big play chemistry, so keeping him in the fold is now very much on the table. A franchise tag is likely coming (projected $18.8M), while a multi-year projection places him at 4 years, $65M currently.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Bryan Bulaga (OT, 32)
Bulaga's production as dipped since joining the Chargers from Green Bay in 2020, and back injury has limited his ability to help the squad down the stretch this season. He holds a $14M cap hit in 2022, with $10.75M to be freed up should LA move on.

2022 NFL Offseason Series: AFC North

Michael GinnittiDecember 30, 2021
Breaking down the upcoming offseason for each 2022 NFL team, broken down by division, including projected cap space, players under contract, notable free agents, potential extension candidates, franchise tag possibilities, & trade/cut options.

Offseason Division Pieces

Baltimore Ravens

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $26M

Under Contract (39): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $760k

Notable Restricted Free Agents: None.

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Calais Campbell (DE, 35), Justin Houston (DE, 32), Bradley Bozeman (C, 27), Sammy Watkins (WR, 28), Patrick Ricard (FB, 27), FULL LIST

Franchise Tag Candidate: None.

Draft Picks: R1, R2, R3, R3 (COMP), R4 (NYG), R4, R4 (ARI), R4 (COMP), R4 (COMP), R6 (MIA)

Extension Candidates

Lamar Jackson (QB, 24)
Jackson’s contract has been a top billing subject all year, and Baltimore would benefit from an extension that lowers his current $23M cap hit for 2022. But there are some serious contractual decisions to be made on the defensive side of the ball that could impact their willingness to get this done before 2023. Jackson still holds a $40M+ valuation in our system.

Bradley Bozeman (C, 27)
Moved from guard to center, Bozeman has gone from a “fill-in” player to a legitimate option for Baltimore’s future. The Ravens have a few mouths to feed this winter, but shoring up the O-Line has to remain priority. A cap-adjusted version (4 yrs, $32M) of Ben Jones’ deal in Tennessee makes sense here.

Anthony Averett (CB, 27)
Averett was vaulted into a starting role when Marcus Peters was injured prior to the season. While Peters is under contract for 2022, his $15.5M cap hit is questionable. It’s also quite possible that the Ravens choose to restructure/extend Peters and let Averett walk into free agency, but the latter’s 3 yr, $37M projection seems much more cost effective for Baltimore going forward.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Marcus Peters (CB, 28)
Peters wasn’t necessarily outplayed by his replacement, but Anthony Averett may have done enough to put his $15.5M cap hit in question for 2022. There’s $10M of cap to be saved by moving on.

Cincinnati Bengals

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $60M

Under Contract (36): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $384k

Notable Restricted Free Agents: Stanley Morgan (WR, 25), FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Jessie Bates III (S, 24), B.J. Hill (DT, 26), Quinton Spain (G, 30), FULL LIST

Potential Franchise Tag: Jessie Bates III (S, 24), projected $13M

Draft Picks: R1, R2, R3, R4, R4 (COMP), R4, R5, R6, R7 (NYG), R7

Extension Candidates

Jessie Bates III (S, 24)
Bates finished the 2020 campaign as the Top Rated Safety according to PFF. He’s 85th in 2021. This Jekyll & Hyde kind of consistency generally leads to slow-playing the contract situation, so a franchise tag is most likely coming first here. The 2020 numbers still have him valuing around $14.4M per year to date.

B.J. Hill (DT, 26)
The former 2nd round pick out of NC state by the Giants has been consistent for 3 straight seasons, and should find himself in Vernon Butler ($7.5M) or Roy Robertson-Harris’ ($7.8M) world financially soon.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Trae Waynes (CB, 29)
Despite cashing in nearly $31M over the past two seasons, Waynes has only played in 5 games for the Bengals, with limited production to show for. His veteran presence is much needed on this young Bengals' squad, but with a $16M cap figure in 2022, it seems unrealistic his current contract with stick. There's $11M of cap to be cleared here.

Trey Hopkins (C, 29)
The Bengals will focus on upgrading their center position this winter, putting Hopkins' $7.125M cap figure on notice. The $6M to be saved can cover all 4 years of a newly drafted rookie contract for this role.

Cleveland Browns

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $35M

Under Contract (41): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $206k

Notable Restricted Free Agents: D’Ernest Johnson (RB, 25), Chase McLaughlin (K, 25), FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: David Njoku (TE, 25), Jadeveon Clowney (DE, 28), Anthony Walker Jr. (LB, 26), Ronnie Harrison (S, 24), Malik Jackson (DT, 31), FULL LIST

Franchise Tag Candidate: None.

Draft Picks: R1, R2, R3, R4 (DET), R4, R5, R6, R7 (DET)

Extension Candidates

Denzel Ward (CB, 24)
Ward is peaking at the right time, with just a $13.2M option left on his rookie contract with the Browns. The 24 year old is a Top 5 CB according to PFF, and now holds a $19M valuation in our system. Jalen Ramsey’s $20M per year deal is within reach.

Baker Mayfield (QB, 26)
An extension might be an unlikely outcome at this point, but Mayfield will be heading into a contract year in 2022, with a fully guaranteed $18.8M salary to boot. Cleveland’s plan of action for their QB position will be one of the more fascinating storylines to follow this offseason. Mayfield’s calculated valuation started at $35M in 2021. It’s currently down to $28.9M, with Ryan Tannehill’s deal in Tennessee as the best comp. He’s as much a trade candidate as he is anything else this offseason.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Jarvis Landry (WR, 29)
Landry's production took a dip in 2020, and has been hampered largely by injury again in 2021. He'll be entering the final year of his contract in 2022, with a $16.5M cap figure to boot. There's only $1.5M of dead cap to take on via trade or release, so Cleveland could really free up some capital by making a move here.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $44M

Under Contract (42): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $1.4M

Notable Restricted Free Agents: Robert Spillane (LB, 26), FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: Joe Haden (CB, 32), JuJu Smith-Schuster (WR, 25),Ben Roethlisberger (QB, 39), Trai Turner (G, 28), B.J. Finney (C, 30), FULL LIST

Franchise Tag Candidate: None;

Draft Picks: R1, R2, R3, R4 (COMP), R5 (COMP), R7 (NYJ), R7

Extension Candidates

Minkah Fitzpatrick (S, 25)
The Steelers acquired Minkah over two years ago now, forfeiting a 1st, 5th & 6th round pick to do so, and he’s worth the price of admission for the better part of 3 years. There’s a $10.6M 5th year option left on his rookie contract, but this offseason is probably the right time to strike a multi-year extension. While Jamal Adams’ $18M is the number to watch, Fitzpatrick’s calculated valuation sits just above Justin Simmons’ $15.25M mark.

Diontae Johnson (WR, 25)
Johnson becomes extension eligible after 2021, and while much of the offense holds question marks, taking Diontae into contract #2 probably makes sense now, regardless of who’s throwing him the ball over the next few seasons. Johnson values between $15M-$16M per year right now.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Zach Banner (OT, 28)
Banner signed a 2 year, $9.5M extension this past March, but has now seen time in only 7 games across the past two seasons. His $6.6M cap figure for 2022 isn't daunting, but with $5M to be cleared, it stands to reason a move could be made here.

Chris Boswell (K, 30)
Boswell has been one of the most consistent kickers in the game the past few seasons, but the numbers have noticably slipped in 2021. He still may be too productive to move on from in the grand scheme of bad kicking across the league, but his $4.9M cap hit vs. $1.6M dead cap leaves the contract open for interpretation this offseason.

2022 NFL Offseason Series: AFC East

Michael GinnittiDecember 29, 2021

Breaking down the upcoming offseason for each 2022 NFL team, broken down by division, including projected cap space, players under contract, notable free agents, potential extension candidates, franchise tag possibilities, & trade/cut options.

Offseason Division Pieces

Buffalo Bills

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $9.4M

Under Contract (41): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $1M

Notable Restricted Free Agents:Ryan Bates (G, 24), FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents:Jerry Hughes (DE, 33), Mario Addison (DE, 34), Harrison Phillips (DT, 25), Emmanuel Sanders (WR, 34), Levi Wallace (CB, 26), Matt Breida (RB, 26), FULL LIST

Franchise Tag Candidates: None

Draft Picks: R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 (CAR), R6, R7 (ATL), R7

Extension Candidates

Levi Wallace (CB, 26)
The Bills could probably stand to upgrade from Wallace, and may look to do so early in the 2022 draft, but offering him a short-term to remain in the fold should also be in play as well. Troy Hill’s $4.5M per year deal in Cleveland could be a model here.

Stefon Diggs (WR, 28)
Diggs has 2 years, $25.5M left on this contract with Buffalo, but with cap hits that soar past $17M each year, it’s reasonable to assume that the Bills will redo this deal to put a little more cash in his pocket now, and better control his cap numbers across the next 2-3 seasons. He projects to a year, $90M extension, though his numbers compare extremely well to DeAndre Hopkins’, who locked in at $27.5M per year not too long ago.

Tremaine Edmunds (ILB, 23)
The Bills exercised (and fully guaranteed) Edmunds’ $12.7M option for 2022, so there’s no rush in making a long-term decision here. Buffalo is better when Edmunds is on the field (115+ tackles in 3 straight years) but the advanced stats don’t love him as a complete player. The Bills have retained almost all of their pieces in their current window, but Edmunds might be squarely on the bubble come 2023.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Cole Beasley (WR, 32)
The soon to be 33 year old holds $1.5M of dead cap against a $7.6M hit in 2022, meaning the Bills can free up $6.1M by moving on.

Mitch Morse (C, 29)
Morse has been in decline each of the past 3 seasons in Buffalo, but is still a more than adequate option at the center position. The Bills are likely to add 2-3 new bodies to their O-Line this offseason, and if a replacement for Morse can be found, there’s $8.5M of cap to be saved.

Miami Dolphins

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $75M

Under Contract (37): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $1.6M

Notable Restricted Free Agents:Nik Needham (CB, 25), FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents:Emmanuel Ogbah (DE, 28), Mike Gesicki (TE, 26)

Franchise Tag Candidates: Mike Gesicki (TE, 26), projected $11M

Draft Picks: R1 (SF), R2, R3 (SF), R4 (PIT), R4, R5, R6 (NE), R7 (HOU)

Extension Candidates

Christian Wilkins (DL, 26)
No need to wait around on this one. Wilkins is every bit the player Miami hoped he would be when selecting him #13 overall in 2019. He becomes extension-eligible after 2021, & the Dolphins don’t have too many other mouths to feed right now, so locking in their franchise d-lineman makes sense. He steers more as a run-studder statistically, which limits his financial ceiling. A $12M starting point is probably about right.

Emmanuel Ogbah (DE, 28)
Ogbah has improved on what was a pretty nice 2020 campaign with Miami, putting his name in serious conversation for a multi-year extension. Ogbah comps well to Jerry Hughes in Buffalo, but with age and a cap increase on his side, should push north of $12M per year as a starting point.

Mike Gesicki (TE, 26)
After a breakthrough 2020, Gesicki just hasn’t found his footing in 2021, but it’s clear the ceiling is there. Suppressed production has his calculated value at $11M, but Jonnu Smith’s $12.5M deal in New England sounds about right.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Jesse Davis (RT, 30)
Davis has played nearly every snap for the 2021 Dolphins, but there are likely to be plenty of changes on the Dolphins’ O-Line this winter. Miami can free up $3.6M of cap by moving on.

Adam Butler (DT, 28)
Butler has limited production despite a starting role on the Dolphins D-Line. The $3.75M to be saved is better used elsewhere.

New England Patriots

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $31M

Under Contract (46): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $3.1M

Notable Restricted Free Agents:Jakobi Meyers (WR, 25), Jakob Johnson (FB, 27), FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents: J.C. Jackson (CB, 26),Trenton Brown (OT, 28), Dont'a Hightower (LB, 31), Nick Folk (K, 37)

Franchise Tag Candidate: J.C. Jackson (CB, 26), projected $17.5M

Draft Picks: R1, R2, R3, R4 (PIT), R4, R6 (LAR)

Extension Candidates

Isaiah Wynn (OT, 25)
The #23 overall pick in 2018 holds a fully guaranteed $10.4M salary in his 5th year and has posted back to back solid seasons on the Pats O-Line. Keeping Mac Jones comfortable will be a priority for NE heading into 2022, so locking in the left tackle long-term makes sense. Wynn projects to a 5 yr, $77M contract right now.

Nelson Agholor (WR, 28)
Agholor isn’t pouring in stats on a weekly basis, but he seems a good fit in this offense, and if it ain’t broke…The 28 year old holds a $15M cap hit in 2022, meaning a restructure of some sort is extremely likely. Tacking on 2 years at his current $11M seems to fit the bill.

J.C. Jackson (CB, 26)
The Patriots felt much more comfortable moving on from Stephon Gilmore when Jackson raised his game to higher standards, but keeping him will come at a major cost. The league’s INT leader since 2019 comes in north of $20M per year currently in our system, projecting to a 5 year, $104M extension.

Adrian Phillips (S, 29)
Phillips and cornerback J.C. Jackson are set for unrestricted free agency, and one will almost certainly snag a franchise tag in February. Buffalo’s Jordan Poyer is a close comp statistically speaking, so something around the $10M per year mark makes sense. UPDATE: Phillips signed a 3 year, $12.75M extension on 1/1/22

Damien Harris (RB, 24)
Harris has put together strong back to back seasons for the Pats, and will be entering a contract year in 2022. His lack of production as a pass-catcher keeps his valuation at bat ($5M), but New England was likely never going to pay a running back north of that anyway.

Potential Trades/Cuts

N'Keal Harry (WR, 24)
Harry is averaging 1 reception per game in 2021, and has only found the end zone 4 times in 3 years. Only $674k of his 2022 salary is fully guaranteed, meaning $1.8M of cap/cash can be cleared per his release.

New York Jets

Projected Top 51 Cap Space: $54M

Under Contract (43): FULL ROSTER

2022 Dead Cap: $1.4M

Notable Restricted Free Agents:Kyle Phillips (DE, 24), Mike White (QB, 26), FULL LIST

Notable Unrestricted Free Agents:Morgan Moses (RT, 30), Marcus Maye (S, 27), Jamison Crowder (WR, 28)

Franchise Tag Candidate: None.

Draft Picks: R1, R1 (SEA), R2, R2 (CAR), R3, R4 (CAR), R4 (MIN), R5, R5 (PIT)

Extension Candidates

Jamison Crowder (WR, 28)
The numbers won’t look great having missed games and dealing with a QB carousel in 2021, but Crowder’s shown enough in 3 seasons to prove he should be kept in the fold to work with Zach Wilson. Corey Davis, Crowder, & Elijah Moore actually make a solid tandem with a more consistent timeline. Crowder projects to 4 years, $50M currently.

Morgan Moses (RT, 30)
Moses has taken over 90% of the snaps in 2021, and remains a strong option on the right side of an offensive line heading into his 30s. The more adequate offensive linemen, the better. Daryl Williams’ 3 year, $24M contract in Buffalo should be on track. 

Quinnen Williams (DT, 23)
Williams becomes extension eligible after 2021, and has been every bit the player the Jets hoped for when they took him #3 overall in 2019. But does it make sense to extend an interior defensive lineman this early? Recent experience says no. Jonathan Allen’s $18M is an early benchmark to look at.

Potential Trades/Cuts

Shaq Lawson (DE, 27)
The Jets acquired Lawson for a 6th round pick this August, but got minimal production from the former 1st round pick. All $9M of his 2022 cap figure can be cleared via release.

Sheldon Rankins (DT, 27)
Despite his most productive season in 3 years, Rankins likely won’t be kept on a $6.25M cap figure for 2022. There’s $5.5M to be freed up here.
