While four NFL teams charge forward into the playoffs' championship round, 28 others are plowing through evaluations for free agency and hoping to make their teams better.
The 32 players below are headed for big paydays this offseason after playing out their contracts in 2016. I've highlighted them on a position-by-position basis, with notes on each and explanations for which direction each player is trending.
Just remember: All sales are final.
QB: Kirk Cousins, Washington Redskins
Cousins is one of 27 quarterbacks with more than 16 starts over the past two seasons. Of those, only Tom Brady and Matt Ryan rank higher than Cousins in Total QBR. Of the 13 teams ranked 20th or lower in points allowed over that span, the Redskins and Oakland Raiders are the only ones with winning records. Washington still might see Cousins as a fourth-round pick who has improved but might struggle without such a strong supporting cast.
Trending: Up because Cousins is coming off another strong season and the Redskins' options are limited.
QB: Mike Glennon, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Glennon had 28 touchdowns with 15 interceptions and a 57.5 QBR in 18 career starts. His QBR ranks 26th since 2013 among the 44 quarterbacks with at least 400 attempts as a starter in that span. That's better than Eli Manning (55.8), Ryan Tannehill (55.3) and even Derek Carr (51.8). Glennon could get a shot to start even though the Bucs were only 5-13 with him in the lineup.
Trending: Up because demand at the position is high.
RB: Le'Veon Bell, Pittsburgh Steelers
Bell can produce at the highest level from just about anywhere running backs and wide receivers line up in an offensive formation. He is also just 24 years old. Bell ranks fifth in rushing yards (4,045) and fifth in yards from scrimmage (6,050) since he entered the NFL in 2013. The running backs ranked ahead of him all played between 12 and 17 more games than Bell over that span.
Trending: Up because Bell has dominated down the stretch as the Steelers have made their playoff run.
RB: Eddie Lacy, Green Bay Packers
Lacy and Latavius Murray were the considerations in this spot. Murray has been healthier and more productive lately. Lacy has the better numbers overall, including a 2.2 to 1.7 advantage in yards after contact per rushing attempt.
Trending: Down because injury limited him to five games this season, and he was out of shape previously.
FB: Patrick DiMarco, Atlanta Falcons
Most teams aren't looking to invest in the fullback position. Some teams don't carry a fullback at all. But if you're looking for a strong lead blocker, DiMarco has value.
Trending: Up because he played a role in Atlanta's fielding a complete offense that led the NFL in scoring.
WR: Alshon Jeffery, Chicago Bears
Jeffery has averaged 72.2 yards receiving per game for his career, which ranks 15th since 2012, his rookie season. He has 43 receptions of more than 20 yards during that time, which ranks seventh. Every player with more has also played in more games.
Trending: Down because Jeffery has missed 11 games the past two seasons and 17 in his career.
WR: DeSean Jackson, Washington Redskins
Jackson has reached 1,000 yards in three of his past four seasons and still has big-play ability at age 30. Fourteen of his receptions gained more than 20 yards this season, which puts him ahead of Antonio Brown (13) and Julio Jones (11). Only T.Y. Hilton (15) had more.
Trending: Flat because everyone knows what Jackson provides.
WR: Pierre Garcon, Washington Redskins
Garcon has produced in more than one system, a challenge for some players. He is coming off the second 1,000-yard season of his career. Terrelle Pryor is a younger alternative and a less polished, less proven one.
Trending: Up because he is coming off his best statistical season since 2013 and hasn't missed a game in four seasons.
TE: Martellus Bennett, New England Patriots
Bennett ranked ninth among tight ends in receiving yards (701) catching passes from Tom Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo. He turns 30 in March and could be joining his fifth team in seven seasons.
Trending: Up because getting out of Chicago and pairing up with Brady was good for him.
LT: Andrew Whitworth, Cincinnati Bengals
Polished, reliable left tackles are tough to find, which is why Whitworth tops the list of potential free agents, despite being 35 years old. He ranks third among NFL players in snaps from scrimmage over the past eight seasons.
Trending: Down, only because of his age.
LG: Ron Leary, Dallas Cowboys
Leary went from asking for a trade last offseason to starting for the NFC East champions, an unexpected springboard into free agency. The Cowboys have already signed left tackle Tyron Smith and center Travis Frederick to extensions. Right guard Zack Martin will be a priority before long.
Trending: Up because he produced when called upon.
C: JC Tretter, Green Bay Packers
The Packers have switched between Tretter and Corey Linsley as injuries have dictated both players' availability. Tretter has been the odd man out lately and could leave in free agency.
Trending: Down because he has been hurt and lost his job as a result.
RG: Kevin Zeitler, Cincinnati Bengals
Zeitler has arguably been underappreciated in an AFC North division that has had bigger-name guards such as Marshal Yanda, Kelechi Osemele and David DeCastro. "Zeitler gets overlooked," a personnel director said. "He is strong, good in pass pro. There is nothing he cannot do."
Trending: Up because he's young, productive and should have made the Pro Bowl.
RT: Ricky Wagner, Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens let Osemele leave for huge money in Oakland last offseason. They have a decision to make on Wagner, who will provide an upgrade someplace else if Baltimore does not re-sign him.
Trending: Up because Wagner outperformed expectations for a fifth-round pick.
Pass-rusher: Jason Pierre-Paul, New York Giants
Pierre-Paul collected seven sacks and forced three fumbles in 12 games before undergoing groin surgery. He turned 28 this month and played on a one-year, $10 million deal in 2016.
Trending: Up because Pierre-Paul proved he could still be a factor after his fireworks accident.
Pass-rusher: Chandler Jones, Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals sent a second-round choice to New England in acquiring Jones before the season. That's a strong indication that they'll make re-signing him a top priority.
Trending: Up because Jones' 11 sacks helped Arizona lead the league in that category while improving on defense overall.
Pass-rusher: Nick Perry, Green Bay Packers
Perry entered the 2016 season with 12.5 sacks over four seasons. He had 11 sacks in his contract year.
Trending: Up because of his career-best regular season and because he collected a sack during the Packers' playoff victory Sunday.
Pass-rusher: Melvin Ingram, San Diego Chargers
Ingram has 18.5 sacks the past two seasons and has become a more complete player for an improving defense.
Trending: Up because Ingram played all 32 games the past two seasons after missing 18 the previous two.
DL: Calais Campbell, Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals re-signed Tyrann Mathieu and acquired Chandler Jones last offseason, perhaps signaling that re-signing Campbell might rank lower on their list of priorities.
Trending: Up because Campbell collected eight sacks, forced two fumbles and picked off a pass this season.
DL: Brandon Williams, Baltimore Ravens
Williams has developed into one of the NFL's better nose tackles and has not missed a game the past three seasons. He was a third-round pick in 2013 and should be a priority to re-sign.
Trending: Up especially after Damon Harrison's big contract with the Giants last offseason.
DL: Dontari Poe, Kansas City Chiefs
Poe's improbable touchdown pass eliminated Denver from playoff contention this season. His rare athleticism for a 350-pounder drives his value.
Trending: Down because he has been less consistently dominant the past couple seasons.
DL: Kawann Short, Carolina Panthers
The Panthers have made re-signing Short a priority, but GM Dave Gettleman showed during the Josh Norman negotiations that he'll go only so far.
Trending: Down because Short's value peaked coming off an 11-sack Super Bowl season in 2015.
LB: Jamie Collins, Cleveland Browns
Collins possesses the versatility to appear in the pass-rusher section as well, which seemed to make him an ideal candidate to stay in New England. The Patriots traded Collins instead. He finished 2016 with 112 tackles, three sacks and two interceptions.
Trending: Down because the Patriots flourished without him, and the trade raised questions about why New England did not prioritize keeping him.
LB: Dont'a Hightower, New England Patriots
The Patriots' decision to dump Collins seemed to endorse Hightower as the linebacker they would build around. He's the one New England trusts with its coach-to-player communication system.
Trending: Flat because Hightower, while productive, has missed 13 games during his career, including three this season.
LB: Zach Brown, Buffalo Bills
Brown had four sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception while leading the Bills in tackles.
Trending: Up because Brown has regained his footing after missing the final 15 games of the 2014 season because of a torn pectoral.
CB: A.J. Bouye, Houston Texans
Bouye developed into a top cover corner this season and even picked off Tom Brady in the playoffs.
Trending: Up, though he has only six interceptions in four regular seasons, including one in 2016.
CB: Stephon Gilmore, Buffalo Bills
Gilmore is a five-year starter who has produced in multiple defensive systems and will not turn 27 until September.
Trending: Down because his career-high total for interceptions (five) was offset by less consistent play overall.
CB: Logan Ryan, New England Patriots
Ryan's development this season helped the Patriots lead the NFL in points allowed. His ability to defend the slot and perimeter add to his value.
Trending: Up after coach Bill Belichick praised him profusely following a strong performance against DeAndre Hopkins in the divisional round.
S: Tony Jefferson, Arizona Cardinals
Jefferson became a full-time starter in 2016 and flourished in the role, helping Arizona rank third in defensive expected points added (EPA).
Trending: Up because he made the most of the opportunity to become a full-time player.
S: Eric Berry, Kansas City Chiefs
Berry picked off four passes, returning two for touchdowns, in his second season back from cancer treatments.
Trending: Up because he has been healthy and productive for two consecutive seasons.
PK: Steven Hauschka, Seattle Seahawks
Hauschka ranks fifth in field-goal percentage (.816) the past five seasons.
Trending: Down because he missed eight times from inside 40 yards, including six times on extra-point attempts, albeit while working with a new snapper.
P: Shane Lechler, Houston Texans
Lechler's net average climbed out of the 30s for the first time since 2011.
Trending: Flat because Lechler is about as known a quantity as there could be after 17 seasons.
