NFL Free Agency: A 2016 Snapshot

While we're only two days removed from the Super Bowl, the wheels are already in motion for 2016. Exactly one week from today marks the start of the period where teams are allowed to apply the franchise tag. A week after that is the Combine. One month from now kicks off the start of Free Agency and a whole new crop of players joining the New England Patriots.

And to that end, I thought it might be a good idea to take an overall look at who is currently available on the open market. Below is a list of almost all players set to become an Unrestricted Free Agent in 2016. More names will obviously be added as players get cut, and a number of these guys will never hit the market as teams franchise/extend those who they can't afford to lose, but this is a nice snapshot of the players who will be available for the Patriots should they decide to go in that direction. There are some solid names on here, particularly in the running back group, and blissfully few players who spent 2015 on the Patriots. New England really in in great shape going forward.
