Get Your Gears Ready: Buckle Up for the Thrilling 2027 NFL Draft!
We’re about one week into 2026 free agency. Most of the notable names have signed contracts already, though a few significant players still remain available. This league changes on a dime, and while it’s not wise to get too ahead of ourselves, there are some benefits to looking ahead in order to make decisions now.
The purpose of this piece is to preview the potential of the 2027 free agency class. In doing so, we can look at which players may become available at this time next year for dynasty purposes as well as predict how their 2026 may go from a redraft perspective. Looking Ahead to the 2027 Free Agency Class Running Back Jonathan Taylor finished third in rush yards (1,585) and first in rushing touchdowns (18) last season.
It’s his third season over the last five years, and second in a row, with over 300 carries and 1,400 or more rush yards. Taylor will turn 28 at the end of next season and, depending on the Colts’ success and trajectory, he could hit the open market for one last big contract. That said, another 300 carries could be in store for Taylor before Indianapolis potentially lets him walk.
Breece Hall will play under the franchise tag for the 2026 season. The Jets have three 2027 first-round picks and are projected to have over $150 million in cap space. If Hall isn’t in their long-term plans, then perhaps they’ll actually move him at the trade deadline like they were rumored to this past season.
Assuming Hall does get paid to be the Jets’ lead back, the Jets could vastly improve during the lifetime of his contract. D’Andre Swift signed on with the Bears for three years in 2024 before Ben Johnson turned things around last season. Swift could have been a cap cut candidate this offseason, but with the Bears poised for a playoff run in 2026, the combination of Swift and Kyle Monangai are valuable assets in the backfield.
