Kyle Dvorchak breaks down the top free agents for every NFL team heading into the 2024 offseason.
Arizona Cardinals
WR Marquise Brown
Traded to Arizona two offseasons ago, Brown hasn’t made the type of impact the Cardinals expected after spending a first-round pick to acquire him. He missed time in both seasons and his yards per game fell from 59 in 2022 to 41 in 2023. The Cardinals’ offense struggled in 2023, but Brown proved incapable of making the most of a bad situation. He’s at his best when used as a team’s No. 2 receiver. Luckily for Arizona, they are in a good spot to land Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. The Cardinals could re-sign Brown to be a secondary receiver, but Michael Wilson and Rondale Moore plus a bevy of draft picks give them options.
Atlanta Falcons
EDGE Bud Dupree
The Titans released Dupree last offseason, well before the end of his five-year, $82.5 million contract. Atlanta then signed him to a much more modest, one-year, $3 million deal. The prudent move netted the team 6.5 sacks and a pair of forced fumbles. Dupree tied Calais Campbell, who is also a free agent, for a team-high in sacks. Dupree is from Georgia and won’t cost much to bring back, so I suspect there is mutual interest in a new deal from both sides.
Baltimore Ravens
DT Justin Madubuike
Pass-rusher will be a consistent theme for this free agent class as the group is stacked with nightmare-inducing talent for opposing quarterbacks. Madubuike was one of the best interior pass-rushers in the league in 2023. He led all defensive tackles in sacks (13) and finished 15th in total pressures (33). Jadeveon Clowney, who notched 9.5 sacks in his first year is also a free agent, though Madubuike’s age and ceiling will make him Baltimore’s priority in the offseason.
Buffalo Bills
EDGE Leonard Floyd
Buffalo added Leonard Floyd on a one-year deal last offseason as part of the continuing arms race in the AFC. He racked up 10.5 sacks and nine TFLs, though Pro Football Focus…
