We are three days in to the NFL free agency period, but there are a lot of top players and solid contributors left on the open market. Now that the heavy spending has been done, it is the appropriate time for teams to come swooping in and get players at a discounted and bargain value. While the big name signings to start free agency get the attention, it is the later acquisitions that fill out a roster which are key to winning a championship.

The Baltimore Ravens linebackers were the big gets early in free agency, but a surprising number of playmakers and quality free agents are left on the market. There are plenty of linebackers that are still available who can immediately come to a team and step in to the starting line up. We should expect to see the linebacker market start to get more active in the coming days.
