Ranking the top 25 NFL free agents this offseason
By Ian Wharton
15. Rodger Saffold, G, Los Angeles Rams
This is the player most likely to break the bank in free agency with minimal media buzz around him. Rodger Saffold has been excellent for the Rams under Sean McVay, developing even further into a top-notch run-blocker and impressive pass-blocker. Even at 31, he’ll be a safe investment in terms of quality of play.
The Rams should prioritize retaining Saffold, but he’ll have a ton of suitors. Sources have indicated he’s the top target for several of the teams listed below despite his age. A team willing to guarantee any money beyond two years could seal the deal in negotiations.
Projected deal: Four years, $42 million
Best fits: Los Angeles Rams, Houston Texans, Arizona Cardinals, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, Washington Redskins, Minnesota Vikings
