5 NFL players likely to get huge new contracts in free agency

5 free agents who are likely to receive massive contracts during the 2022 NFL offseason

Here are five players who are set to receive huge contracts when the 2022 free agency period begins.

#3 - Bobby Wagner

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner.

In a shocking move by the Seattle Seahawks, superstar middle linebacker Bobby Wagner was released after ten strong seasons with the organization. Wagner has been selected to the Pro Bowl in each of the last eight consecutive seasons while also being chosen as a first-team All-Pro player six times.

Bobby Wagner has been the captain and centerpiece of the Seahawks defense for a decade, which is why it was so surprising that he was released. He is still one of the best middle linebackers in the entire NFL, so he should have a huge market of interested teams.

#2 - Von Miller

Los Angeles Rams edge rusher Von Miller.

Not only is Von Miller one of the best pass rushers available during the 2022 free agency period, he's one of the best pass rushers of the last decade.

He has accumulated 115.5 sacks across 150 career games played in the regular season. He has also chipped in an additional 10.5 sacks in 11 career playoff games.

After being traded to the Los Angeles Rams prior to the 2021 NFL trade deadline, Von Miller had a major impact on their Super Bowl run. He recorded nine sacks over the Rams' final eight games, including the postseason, proving he is still an elite pass rusher.

#1 - JC Jackson

New England Patriots defensive back JC Jackson.

JC Jackson should have a ton of teams interested in signing him during the 2022 NFL free agency period.

He is just 26 years old and is one of the best coverage cornerbacks in the entire NFL. He recorded ten interceptions last season, the second-most among all players, while also leading all players with 23 passes defended.
