Year-to-year, free agency across the NFL looks drastically different. A year ago, the safety market crashed while cornerbacks surged. Corners like Trumaine Johnson, Kyle Fuller, and Malcolm Butler got huge contracts, while safeties were left fighting for scraps weeks after the onset of free agency.
This year, those roles appear to be reversed. There are several top safeties set to hit the free agent market, while quality cornerbacks are few and far between. The money should see a drastic flip as names like Earl Thomas and Landon Collins replace Johnson and Fuller.
