“I think offensive line is going to be the big winners in free agency this year,” a prominent agent tells FanSided. “You can always get skill positions. You had five offensive tackles chosen last year, and what, maybe one or two played well all year? The rest were average at best. You can get good skill guys who can help you immediately. You can’t always get immediate plug-and-play high-impact starting caliber offensive linemen.”Indianapolis Colts Face masks

Despite using the franchise tag again, the Broncos clearly do not want Simmons to leave Denver.Philadelphia Eagles Face masks

Landing Carson Wentz, and not giving up too much to do it, answers a big quarterback question after Philip Rivers' retirement. Regardless of whether Wentz can rebound, the Colts won't spend all offseason chasing a QB. That allows them to use their cap space, built up through years of responsible spending, on other areas of need. But the Colts have typically avoided any big long-term deals, so they might not be as active as the cap space would indicate they could be.

No, Garoppolo is not worth a first-round pick. Although his five-year $137.5 million deal is a hefty price, it becomes more affordable at $24 million and less bonus money. New England, which currently holds more than $66 million in cap space, would be able to take on the deal with a limited backlash.

Smith made Washington's 53-man roster, a feat Elizabeth let those close to them know the previous night via text messages and phone calls. Smith lobbied the coaches to keep him on the roster, knowing that they were considering putting him on injured reserve. Had they done that, he would have been done for the season. Smith's point: He wasn't hurt. They listened.New York Giants Face masks

With the Chiefs adding a bodyguard and a weapon for Patrick Mahomes in with the first two rounds, Pete Werner in the third round could provide tons of value and upside for the pick. Werner is a part of a talented linebacker trio from Ohio State that includes Baron Browning and Justin Hilliard. He doesn't always get recognition among the other Buckeye prospects but make no mistake, he's every bit as good. He's dynamic in coverage and he's also 6-3 and 240 pounds, so don't discount his run-stuffing prowess.

It has been a long road for Griffin ever since that explosive rookie campaign. A litany of injuries kept him from greatness but he has been the backup for Lamar Jackson in Baltimore over the last three seasons. He hasn't seen much playing time, which means he's likely open to taking another backup role. Griffin would be able to run the RPO system with the Colts to an extent where the run game could take off potentially even more. He can create with his legs but there are still questions as a passer. He's attempted just 58 passes in the last three seasons. Griffin would come cheap and would compete with Eason for the backup role but given what the former can do with his legs, he's an option.Atlanta Falcons Face masks
