Full 2019 NFL Free Agency Rankings: Defense


Combined with yesterday’s rankings on offense, I have compiled nearly 400 unrestricted free agents that will be available when the new league year kicks off in March. As stated for the offensive rankings, players will be valued differently by each team based on age, scheme, injury history, etc., and that’s especially true on defense. [Note: age is for the start of the 2019 season, and only unrestricted free agents are listed]
