NFL free agency begins this coming week, starting with three days of legal tampering that will see many top free agents agreeing to new contracts before the new league year officially begins Wednesday.
As expected, Cincinnati Bengals defender William Jackson will be one of the top cornerbacks to hit free agency after the Bengals passed on franchise tagging the rising star. The 28-year-old is easily one of the top defensive backs to hit the open market, and it sounds like he’ll be paid as such.
NFL Network analyst Tom Pelissero is reporting that Jackson, along with Shaquil Griffin of the Seattle Seahawks, is expected to land a big-time payday when free agency begins.
