This column is everything you need to know before the 2020 NFL Free Agency period from a fantasy football perspective. I cover each NFL team’s cap space, team needs, free agents, free agent targets, and current starting skill-position players. This is the free agency preview, and then I’ll turn things over to Nick Mensio who will be keeping track of each team’s transactions here.
2020 NFL Cap Space
2020 NFL Free Agents
“Unrestricted” means the player is allowed to sign with any team. “Restricted” means the player can sign an offer sheet with any team, but his 2019 team can keep him on the roster by signing him to a restricted tender. “Exclusive Rights” means the player will return to his 2019 team unless the team opts to make him an unrestricted free agent. “Cut candidates” are players that may be released because their contract is too expensive relative to their talent and cap space. Some cut candidates are near locks to be released while others are closer to doubtful.
