Good Morning. Let’s get started with all the noise surrounding Brandon Aiyuk’s future with the San Francisco 49ers. Aiyuk is headed into the final year of his rookie contract. On Monday after the Super Bowl LVIII loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Aiyuk posted a black Instagram story captioned, “Don’t forget what got you there” with eye emojis. Adding more fuel to the fire was a post from Aiyuk’s brother where he wrote, “This is the exact reason why we leaving San Francisco.” And “Thank you 49ers for drafting my brother and we are forever grateful.”

The NFL offseason is under way, and there will be much to talk about between now and September. Sometimes, there’s more to talk about during the NFL offseason than during the NFL regular season. 

In the coming months, the names of specific people will come up in NFL offseason discussions more than others. They could be impending free agents, upcoming draft picks, retirement candidates, trade possibilities. But we have the 10 most intriguing names of the NFL offseason.

The Kansas City Chiefs might have won their second Super Bowl in a row, but which person will reign supreme this NFL offseason as the No. 1 conversation starter?

Brandon Aiyuk is one of the more intriguing names on the list. The San Francisco 49ers picked up the fifth-year option on Aiyuk’s rookie contract, but they need to make a decision about where to offer their leading receiver a lucrative contract extension or trade him before he becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2025.

While the 2023 National Football League season is over, the 2024 NFL offseason calendar is underway and fans are excited for both the 2024 NFL Draft and to see where top free agents land. It’s now time for our NFL free agency predictions for the 2024 offseason. 

Obviously, these are just bold predictions for 2024 NFL free agency and a lot of unexpected things will happen. As part of our exercise, we consider teams’ needs, cap space and the cost of landing elite talent. 

As part of this exercise, we’ll start with individual projected landing spots for the top 20 NFL free agents in 2024 with breakdowns of the reasoning and contract predictions. Following that, we’ll have position-by-position NFL free agency predictions. 

The top player on the free agent market is Kansas City Chiefs’ DT Chris Jones. The Kansas City Chiefs will do everything in their power to keep him and there’s a better chance than expected that they will be successful. However, money trumps everything. He could receive an enticing offer to join another up-and-coming team.

With Jorge Soler off the board, we look at where Blake Snell and other top free agents still available will land with pitchers and catchers around MLB now arriving for spring training. 

With Soler landing, the fifth-best free agent on the market is now J.D. Martinez, another Boras client. This is a little unusual. But not shocking. Boras, the king of baseball agents, has a plan. And he doesn’t let artificial deadlines alter those plans. 

Still, no one likes to arrive at training camp late, especially pitchers, who are creatures of habit. And we’ve seen in the past that pitchers who have signed in late February and early March often struggle to be effective or stay healthy early on in a regular season. 

So, there are reasons for the top guys to sign soon. Boras, however, has played these hands for years. He is holding out for what he believes will be best for his clients; the numbers will be there when the contracts are finally inked.
