BR: 2026 NFL Top 50 Free Agents

https://bleacherrepo...r-super-bowl-lx

 

45. Isaiah Likely, TE, Baltimore Ravens

Isaiah Likely has traditionally served as a complement to fellow Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews. However, the 25-year-old is a fast and athletic pass-catcher who could serve as another team's top receiving tight end. Likely has averaged 11.6 yards per catch during his career.

 

44. Isaac Seumalo, G, Pittsburgh Steelers

Guard Isaac Seumalo was arguably the Steelers' most reliable offensive lineman over the past three years. He's missed time in each of the past two seasons and will turn 33 in October, but he's above-average as both a run blocker and in pass protection.

 

42. Cade Mays, C, Carolina Panthers

Cade Mays spent most of his early career providing depth at guard and center. However, he emerged as a dependable starting center for the Carolina Panthers in 2025. The 6'6", 325-pound 26-year-old would be an imposing force in the middle of most offensive lines.

 

41. Connor McGovern, C, Buffalo Bills

Connor McGovern has been a quality center who has started 49 games over the past three seasons in Buffalo. A tremendous pass protector, the 28-year-old also has the athleticism and quickness needed to run block on the move. He didn't allow a sack in 2025, according to Pro Football Focus.

 

39. David Edwards, G, Buffalo Bills

David Edwards, who will turn 29 in March, began his career as a starting guard for the Los Angeles Rams. He reestablished himself as a strong starter over the past two seasons with the Buffalo Bills, playing over 95 percent of the offensive snaps in each campaign.

 

38. Boye Mafe, Edge, Seattle Seahawks

After tallying 18 sacks over his first three seasons, Boye Mafe settled into more of a rotational role with the Seahawks in 2025. However, the 27-year-old was effective in that role, recording two sacks, 17 quarterback pressures, and four tackles for loss.

 

26. Khalil Mack, Edge, Los Angeles Chargers

Khalil Mack will turn 35 later this month and won't be a fit for every team. However, he remains disruptive against the run and the pass. Despite missing five games with a nasty elbow injury, Mack managed to record 5.5 sacks, six tackles for loss, and 23 quarterback pressures this past season.

 

14. Odafe Oweh, Edge, Los Angeles Chargers

Getting traded to the Los Angeles Chargers proved to be a boon for pass-rusher Odafe Oweh. Originally a 2021 first-round pick by the Ravens, he underwhelmed early in the year before landing in L.A. An explosive speed rusher, the 27-year-old notched 7.5 sacks and 19 quarterback pressures in 12 games with the Bolts this past season.


3. Tyler Linderbaum, C, Baltimore Ravens

 

Contract Projection: Four Years, $76 Million

 

No one should be surprised if the Ravens don't let star center Tyler Linderbaum reach the market. ESPN's Dan Graziano reported last August that Baltimore plans to extend him, and the 25-year-old has publicly stated that he'd like to return.

If Linderbaum does reach the market, though, he'll become the top prize for practically every team in need of a top-tier center. A powerful 6'2", 305-pound blocker, Linderbaum is physical at the point of attack, athletic enough to block on the move, and durable enough to make injury concerns a non-factor.

Linderbaum has started all 17 games in three of his four seasons and 66 of a possible 68 overall. This past year, he played 99 percent of the offensive snaps.

Pro Football Focus ranked Linderbaum fifth overall among all centers this past season, and he's now been named to the Pro Bowl in three straight campaigns.

 

Potential Suitors: Green Bay Packers, New York Giants

Per AI: 
 

As an impending 2026 free agent, Steelers guard Isaac Seumalo is projected to sign a 3-year contract worth approximately $27 million to $28.8 million (roughly $9M–$9.6M per year). Despite turning 33, his high-level performance as a pass blocker makes him a top target, with potential landing spots including a return to Pittsburgh or the Chargers. 

 

Cade Mays, a 2026 unrestricted free agent center, is projected to command a multi-year contract worth approximately $8 million to over $12 million annually after a breakout 2025 season with the Carolina Panthers. Potential suitors include the Lions, Packers, and a potential return to the Panthers.

 

As of February 2026, Pro Bowl center Connor McGovern is projected to command a three-year contract worth approximately $48.8 million, averaging around $16.3 million per season. Following a successful transition to center and consistent play for the Buffalo Bills, this contract would place him among the highest-paid centers in the NFL.

 

David Edwards, a 28-year-old pending 2026 free agent guard for the Bills, is projected to command a significant contract, with Spotrac estimating a 3-year deal worth approximately $59.7–$60.3 million (roughly $20M AAV). He is expected to be one of the most coveted guards on the market due to his consistent performance.

I'd be pretty happy if the Ravens landed Seumalo and Mays for the same $ as Linderbaum.

No.


Well, turns out the answer is you could have got Seumalo and Mays for a lot less than Linderbaum.

I thought a team would be irresponsible with their money when it came to Linderbaum. Just when I thought bad teams couldn't get any dumber, they go and do something like this.

With that said, EDC should have been on the phone with Jenkins agent as soon as Green Bay released him. If you can bring in Jenkins and Simpson at the cost of Linderbaum, thats a win.
