NFL: Top free agents available at each position

If your team has done little to nothing to strengthen their roster during the free agency period thus far, you might be wondering if the 2021 NFL regular season is really going to be that rush of ecstasy you'd have hoped for.

And who could blame you? NFL teams have signed players thick and fast so far; many of the premier talents available a month ago have already been snapped up.

It's enough to dampen the spirits of even the most eternal optimist. However, there are still some very impressive stars looking for a new place to call home come September.

On that note, here are the top free agents still available in each position as we head into April.
