The best center on the market is Matt Paradis of the Denver Broncos. A terrific zone-blocker, Paradis anchored one of the best running games in the NFL last year. His movement ability and landmarking as a reach-blocker is elite.

Paradis did miss seven games in 2018 after not missing a start for three seasons, and is now 29 years old. Still, he’s a great option for the foreseeable future at a position that ages well. His market will be hot with interested parties.

Projected deal: Four years, $43 million

Best fits: Denver Broncos, Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans, New York Giants, Arizona Cardinals
