2024 NFL free agency: Ranking top 100 available players

Illustration by ESPN

We're off and running in 2024 NFL free agency, so we stacked the best players in the class. After a two-day legal negotiation window, free agency officially opened on Wednesday, March 13, allowing contracts to be finalized. Players like Kirk Cousins have dominated the conversation, but this class runs deep.

We ranked the top 100 players available. We factored in age, positional value, expected future production and scheme versatility, and restricted and exclusive free agents -- for whom the original teams have the right of first refusal -- are not included. Let's jump in and look at the best available players from 1 to 100.

1. Kirk Cousins, QB

Signing with: Atlanta Falcons | Age in 2024 season: 36

Before tearing his right Achilles in Week 8, Cousins was completing 69.5% of his throws and had 18 touchdown passes to five interceptions. He's an easy fit for a system with play-action elements in the passing game, and he should be viewed as an immediate upgrade for many offenses this offseason.
