The 2018 NFL free-agency period will begin unofficially on Monday, March 12th and teams will be able to officially sign free agents on Wednesday, March 14th at 4 PM ET.

Unlike last season when we ranked our top-100 NFL free agents, this year we decided it would be interesting to look a variety of sites to arrive at a consensus NFL free agency rankings.

Players designed with the franchise tag and restricted free agents (RFAs) have been excluded from these consensus rankings.

Sources (# ranked): SB Nation (101), NFL.com (101), Rotoworld (100), ESPN (100) and CBS (50). * Total = total of all five sets of rankings. Unranked players get the next available spot. For example, NFL.com ranked 101 free agents. D.J. Fluker was not ranked and therefore given a score of 102. Possible scores range from 5 (1st across the board) to 457 (not ranked by any of the five sites).
