2024 NFL Top 75 Free Agents
We stress over at PSP that the National Football League is a 24/7, 365 affair…and that slogan is no more apparent than in the month of March. The Super Bowl has been won. Players have retired. Coaches have been fired. It seems like the wagons are circling (and not for the Buffalo Bills). But the month of March is important for a ton of reason…players get tagged, fifth year options are awarded, negotiation periods start, the new year league starts, and the free agent frenzy begins.
This is what.we.do.

There is now hope for 31 teams to get better and fill team holes before April’s draft in Detroit. Where will the big names go? Christian Wilkins? Calvin Ridley? Michael Onwenu? These are players that can really elevate a team. And while those are just a couple of names, below you will find Perfect Spiral’s Top 75 Free Agents going into next week. These are players that we think will make impacts going into next season. 2023 stats aside, these can be players on the rise, on the decline, or right in their prime. How many players does your team need? Let’s get to the list.
***Players with the transitional tag are included on this list as they can be made offers by other teams.

Secondary Impact
Next week, everyone will focus on Wednesday, March 14th @ 4pm. Why? Because everyone (myself included) will be refreshing their phones to see which players your team may sign. Whether you follow Schefty, Rapaport, or Meriov, you will constantly be checking to see if your team spent some money. As we know though, it’s not always who gets to acts the quickest. Yet, it’s who acts the smartest. That’s why I am here to tell you one thing - be patient.

Next week, everyone will focus on Wednesday, March 14th @ 4pm. Why? Because everyone (myself included) will be refreshing their phones to see which players your team may sign. Whether you follow Schefty, Rapaport, or Meriov, you will constantly be checking to see if your team spent some money. As we know though, it’s not always who gets to acts the quickest. Yet, it’s who acts the smartest. That’s why I am here to tell you one thing - be patient. If your team isn’t splurging on Day 1, it’s not the end of the world. And it also doesn’t mean your team won’t get real, impact players. We compiled a small list of players who won’t be signed Day 1 who will make an immediate impact on their new team in 2024. Call it a secondary impact…
Danielle Hunter, EDGE
An obvious pass rusher who can move the needle. I can think of several teams that would benefit immensely from Hunter’s presence. Because of that, I think he’ll have a lot of suitors. Hunter should assess which scheme maximizes his ability on top of his pay, which will lead to him not sign immediately. A couple of teams have new coordinators, so that’s important to note in terms of his decision to sign.
Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, Safety
I noticed that teams who need a safety also need a CB. L’Jarius Sneed was franchise tagged by Kansas City, but he could ultimately end up being traded, and could potentially determine CGJ’s suitors. There were rumors he could go back to the Eagles and if that’s true, then you can rule out a first day signing for sure. I think it’s also important to note that elite players like this have contract demands that not many teams have the flexibility to accommodate. I wouldn’t rule out a potential return to Detroit either, as it seems he was the most important player on that defense when he was on the field last season.
Austin Ekeler, Running Back
This one should come as no surprise. The reason I don’t think he’s going to be signed on Day 1 is pretty simple; Ekeler believes his value is extremely high. Well, prior to this season, I would be inclined to agree. However, due to his 2023 production and the aversion to rewarding running backs in free agency, Ekeler may be waiting for a bit. Not to mention Derrick Henry and Saquon are both free agents and they should get contracts before Ekeler does anyway. I will say this though. This isn’t necessarily a strong RB class, so securing a good run game is going to be important in the free agency market this year. But gone are the days of the workhorse back. There are maybe a handful of workhorses left in the league, and Ekeler is unfortunately not one of them.
Xavien Howard, Cornerback
Xavien Howard is a name that two years ago contenders would be foaming at the mouth for. But after a lackluster performance in ‘23, I think he will be taking meetings consistently for the first couple of weeks in free agency to determine his best fit. I’m also adding that as of me writing this, Marshon Lattimore has become available. If that’s the case, that may be an option for those in need of an elite corner. I have an inkling that upon the Chiefs decision on Sneed, we will know the destination of Howard. Spoiler alert: i think Xavien Howard will replace Sneed in Kansas City.
Za’Darius Smith, EDGE
I don’t know what it is this year, but these edge rushers with some gas left in the tank can provide such a good punch for these fringe contenders. He’s up there in age, but Smith just contributed to a pretty stacked defense this past season in Cleveland. Now I think he returns to Cleveland, BUT there’s a team in the AFC south that our co-host Joseph Miglio loves that is in need of a veteran edge presence. With a new DC in Jacksonville, I think they may request his services.
Russell Wilson, Quarterback
Ok, this one is kind of obvious. Russell Wilson was recently cut from his tumultuous tenure in Denver. The Broncos willingly decided to eat 85 million dollars over two years to have Wilson off their team. Let that sink in. Now the reason he’s not getting signed Day 1 is simple: He is in such a weird state in his career. He’s clearly a bridge quarterback. But the teams in need of a bridge quarterback are very slim, and are also in the position to potentially land another bridge quarterback/ quarterback of the future in Justin Fields. The impending decision from Chicago to trade Fields to draft Caleb Williams at 1 is going to influence which team decides to sign Russ. I personally think Wilson’s best fit would probably be in Pittsburgh if Fields is not sent there. But who knows. With these rumors floating surrounding the Falcons interest in Kirk over Fields, that could be unrealistic.
2024 Off-season Report: Team Needs
Everyone needs something. Even when you feel like you have everything…you don't. In the NFL world, these things reign true. The Chiefs, who are the latest dynasty in the NFL history books, have needs for 2024. When piecing together what teams need, it’s more of an opinion based thought than fact. People may think the Atlanta Falcons don’t need a quarterback. They would be wrong, but you can’t be wrong about an opinion (technically). So we scoured the NFL underworld to see what each teams biggest needs are as the NFL Free Agency period approaches. Take the journey with us and find out what your need team needs to compete in 2024.

So we scoured the NFL underworld to see what each teams biggest needs are as the NFL Free Agency period approaches. Take the journey with us and find out what your need team needs to compete in 2024.
TEAM NEEDS
Atlanta Falcons - Quarterback Hierarchy
I want to start this off by saying the following: The Falcons have been one of the most intriguing teams for the Perfect Spiral boys over the last few years; they have a solid defense, solid skill players, and they were let down by horrible coaching and quarterback play. This is why they need to build right starting with Free Agency. Kirk Cousins will be a slam dunk signing, and while I’d be sad to lose him, he could usher in the future of the Atlanta Falcons. Kirk’s time in Atlanta may be limited but crucial to developing the future franchise QB.
Arizona Cardinals - Someone to stop a nosebleed
The backend of this defense is dreadful. I can see the Cardinals taking a flyer on someone like Jeff Okudah, just to try and inject some life into this secondary.
Baltimore Ravens - Derrick Henry.
Isn’t it wild to think that one of the best rushing teams over the last few years would have the biggest need at the running back position? The hodge podge of oft injured JK Dobbins, inconsistent Gus Edwards, and sometimes flashy co star Justice Hill just isn’t good enough anymore. And while Keaton Mitchell showed flashes of promise as an undrafted rookie, Henry would take this team to another level; a ground and pound attack and deadly RPO between him and Lamar could really put this offense over the edge.
Buffalo Bills - Properly Balanced…. Like all things should be.
The Bills offense is lopsided, and Josh Allen simply does way too much. While they did make improvements by drafting Dalton Kincaid last year and getting James Cook more involved, this team is still missing some balance on the opposite side of Diggs. Gabe Davis has flamed out and I think this would be a great landing spot for a guy like Calvin Ridley. He could help level out this passing attack and open up more doors for the guys there. We’ve seen him be part of a great one two combo in the past so who’s to say he can’t do it again.
Carolina Panthers - Where do I start…
It’s hard to pinpoint one thing a team needs when they end up being the worst team we’ve seen since the 2008 Lions. Except unlike that Lions team, the Panthers have a good base. One of the leagues best defenses despite their horrible record, and a quarterback in Bryce Young that they drafted #1 overall. But in order for him to be successful, you need to surround him with offensive skill players and even before that….. you need to set up and offensive line. The offensive line needs to be addressed fast on the opening day of Free Agency - full stop.
Chicago Bears - A Skill Player or Two?
We all know the Bears are gonna land Caleb Williams. It’s at about -1000000000 odds, but with him they need some skill player help. The RB situation is extremely dire even though I can see Roschon Johnson being a guy. However, I do think this is something they need to address; Saquon (like some other teams here) would fit great here.
Cincinatti Bengals - BIG BOIS
Can we have some help on the offensive line…PLEASE?!! We thought this was addressed after the Super Bowl year, but this is a re-occurring issue. Burrow is coming off another season ending injury and if they want to get back to the Super Bowl to become one of the AFC Elite once again, they need to protect the Franchise.
Dallas Cowboys - Tyron Smith Replacement
I like Donovan Smith here. He is three years younger than the departing Tyron Smith, and they need to find his replacement immediately. The Cowboys can’t afford offensive line issues.
Denver Broncos - Mr. Very Limited.
The Broncos intrigue me, and if you listen to me on the pod, you know I love this team; why? I really have no idea. They have finally moved on from Russell Wilson. The damage is done. So what’s next? How about replacing him with a younger, more fun option. Kirk would be cool here, but I reallly actually like Jacoby Brissett. He is the perfect QB to help develop a young QB.
Detroit Lions - “A Hog Molly” - Dave Gentleman
This one is simple. The Dolphins are expected to part ways with Christian Wilkins and I think the Lions need to be at the front of the line. Build on this defense to compliment this high flying offense.
Green Bay Packers - Jordan Love’s next Love
With Mike Evans re-signing in Tampa this week, this leaves Calvin Ridley as the number one wide receiver option on the board. He brings a different skill set then what they already have in that room, and can be the perfect number one for a team that has a bunch of supporting cast type players.
Indianapolis Colts - Keep the guys together
They have already started by franchise tagging Michael Pittman Jr. Now they have a window until July to negotiate a long term deal. This is one of the only priorities for this team because he’s been so good for them, especially with Richardson returning. They don’t want their number one receiver disgruntled going into 2024.
Houston Texans - Take me over the top
SAQUON, POLLARD, HENRY, JACOBS, EKELER….. ANYBODYY???? Ok, that’s a little dramatic, but while Singletary did burst onto the scene last year, I do think this run game can go to another level. Stroud was a revelation last year as a rookie - so let’s take this kid to the promise land.
Jacksonville Jaguars - Make Joe love you once more.
The Jaguars are a team that doesn’t need much help, but also needs all the help - if that makes sense? At times you’d watch them and think this team is legit; then others they like they’re playing a bunch of XFL guys who are lost. I do think this team needs a big guy in the middle, I’d love to see them pry a Chris Jones from KC, but I think that may be next to impossible. So any of the other DTs would do.
Kansas City Chiefs - SNEED.
I mean, Sneed is the obvious one here right? Finding a way to bring him and Jones back is priority numero uno. Sneed was unreal last year, and a huge part as to why they were repeat champs. Make it work and bring the guy back.
Los Angeles Chargers - Set the Tone.
There is a new sheriff in town and his name is Jim Harbaugh. He’s going to want to set the tone with grit, and that starts with the trenches. Danielle Hunter would be a great fit here, especially if they move off off Khalil Mack.
Los Angeles Rams - Brian Burns..
The Panthers have paused long term talks with star edge rusher Brian Burns and franchised him, but the Rams have been known that they made a monster offer for him in the past. Even though Burns is tagged, don’t sleep on the Rams making a deal for the star pass rusher during the free agency period before the draft. I also like Jonathan Greenard here if they can’t pry Burns away.
Miami Dolphins - Don’t be Stupid
Are we really going to let Christian Wilkins walk? They chose to let Wilkins test free agency, so he may be as good as gone. They will need a replacement, so a guy like DJ Reader sticks out if they can’t bring Wilkins back.
Minnesota Vikings - Run it Back.
Sign JJ and Bring back Cousins… lets run it back - this team would’ve been close last year.
New England Patriots - Make Bill Proud
This one is gonna be weird, not seeing Bill on the sidelines or in the front office. The greatest coach of all time left this team in disarray. They have needs on offense, but I think that will be addressed in the draft. They also have needs on defense that I think will be addressed in free agency. I expect them to be in on all the defensive stars in free agency and maybe even mix it up for Tyron Smith.
New Orleans Saints - Let’s Take it Back to 2017
The Saints are another one of those weird teams to me, they have so much talent but yet always feel kinda stunted? They bring in Carr last year and they were the same team. I think this team needs to address the running back room in free agency. Bring it back to where Kamara had another high flying co-star. His usage last year at his age was preposterous. I also think landing a deep threat wide receiver may help. Maybe Hollywood Brown?
New York Giants - Someone who’s seen some shit
Now that we’ve seen Russell Wilson be released from Denver, I see this as the PERFECT landing spot for him. Considering he would probably sign for the vet minimum while they still have Daniel Jones on the roster.
New York Jets - Did you bring Protection?
The Jets offensive line is an absolute mess, the very weak spot of an otherwise pretty decent roster. Yeah we could say they need another wide receiver, but man you gotta have Rodgers play more then 5 minutes this year.
Philadelphia Eagles - Rosemans Revenge
Howie Roseman always looks to make the splash play. Last year, he made a deal at the deadline by trading for Kevin Byard. That move that didn’t quite work and has since been released. I can see this team going after a guy like Sneed via trade, but also look for them to check in on now free agents Jamal Adams & Quandre Diggs.
Pittsburgh Steelers - Bring me Back to Relevance
The Steelers are so lucky they have Mike Tomlin as their coach. If this was any other team, everyone would have been cleared out by now. Kenny Pickett was an absolute miss and contrary to what they say publicly, they need a veteran to level this out. I can see any of these veteran QB free agents landing here as a 2 year band-aid situation.
San Francisco 49ers - Buckeyes x The Bay
Even though at times his effort was dismal, Chase Young showed some flashes. I think he comes in a lot cheaper then a lot of these free agent EDGE rushers and still offers a ton of upside - if bring him back on a prove it deal.
Seattle Seahawks - New Regime
The new Regime wasted no time this week making major changes. Releasing Jamal Adams & Quandre Diggs, leaving a need open at Safety, I can see Rayshawn Jenkins landing here, he was productive in JAX, but didn’t fit the new scheme and was a cap casualty.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Keep the Baker In the Kitchen
Baker was very good last year, it’s hard to deny that. The signing of Evans signals that they may just run this thing back. I do think they have major needs on defense also, but you need to bring back your most important position - it starts there.
Tennessee Titans - Saftey Blanket
The Titans have a ton of needs, let’s not get it twisted. But I do think tight end is a big one going into year two of Levis. I like Hunter Henry here or Logan Thomas.
Washington Commanders - BACK UP TERRRRRY
Washington seems poised to address Quarterback in the draft. While I do think bringing Curtis Samuel back is definitely a need, they also need one more guy to complement Terry Mclaurin.
