An above-average pass-blocker and respectable run-blocker, Mitch Morse will be an attractive option for primarily zone-blocking teams. Turning 27 this offseason, Morse does have a history of missed games, which could limit his guaranteed money.

However, even with Morse missing 15 games over the last two seasons, he’s worth trying to pry away from the Chiefs. He’s a clear upgrade for a handful of teams because of his athleticism and strong technique. Teams will have to weigh whether he’s worth a large sum versus investing into center via the draft.

Projected deal: Five years, $40 million

Best fits: Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Arizona Cardinals, Baltimore Ravens
