It’s that time of year again. Time for CBS Sports’ own Pete Prisco’s Top 100 free agents. With the Super Bowl behind us, it’s already time to start looking ahead to next season, which, of course, means diving into one of the wildest times of each offseason: free agency.

Free agency is set to begin on Monday, March 10 at 12 p.m. ET and ends on Wednesday, March 12 at 4 p.m. ET.
With the countdown officially on, Prisco evaluated not only 100 top free agents but the value of their position.

While he says Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is the best free agent to become available, he’s not No. 1 on the list. Why? Prisco says the value of a quarterback in the NFL is higher than any other position, and there are lots of teams out there desperate for a good offensive leader.

So instead, it’s Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold who comes in at No. 1, after leading his team to a surprising 14-3 regular-season record. Darnold struggled in the final regular-season game against the Detroit Lions and also in the team’s wild-card game against the Los Angeles Rams, but he had by far the best season of his career and will still get paid if he does hit the market.
