5 NFL players their franchises will regret letting go of in free agency 

NFL players their former teams will regret to lose as free agents

#3 - LB Bobby Wagner, Seattle Seahawks

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner

Bobby Wagner has been one of the most surprising releases of the entire 2022 NFL offseason. He has spent his entire career with the Seattle Seahawks, where he has consistently been one of the very best inside linebackers in the NFL as a whole every year.

Wagner has spent a decade with the Seahawks and has been selected to the Pro Bowl in the last eight consecutive seasons. He has also been selected as the first-team All-Pro middle linebacker six times. He is still just 31 years old and hasn't shown any signs of slowing down yet. He set a new career-high in the 2021 season by making 170 tackles.

#2 - CB Carlton Davis, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

It's a bit surprising that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have allowed Carlton Davis to reach the open free-agent market instead of locking him up with a long-term contract extension to remain with the team. The 25-year-old cornerback has defended 48 passes over the last three seasons while recording six interceptions. He is one of the best players in the Buccaneers' defensive secondary.

#1 - CB JC Jackson, New England Patriots

New England Patriots cornerback JC Jackson

JC Jackson is not just one of the best coverage cornerbacks available in free agency; he is one of the best overall defensive backs in the entire NFL. He has intercepted 25 passes in just 62 career games for the Patriots, and his 17 interceptions across the last two seasons combined are the most among all players. He is just 26 years old and should be one of the hottest targets in free agency.
