NFL free-agency 2024 rankings: Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts, Nick Bosa lead top 30
New York TimesThe 2023 free-agency cycle is mostly behind us, as 108 of our top 150 free agents and 80 of our top 100 have signed. Since the start of 2021, he’s been a terrifying pass rusher, posting 15 1/2 sacks, 40 QB hits and an 18.9 percent pressure rate — second-best among edge rushers in that span — in 25 games. But the 2015 third-round pick doesn’t turn 29 until October and put two injury-plagued years behind him with an outstanding 2022 season: 10 1/2 sacks, career-high-tying 22 QB hits and a 13 percent pressure rate on a career-high 906 snaps. Wilkins lags behind 2019 draft classmates Lawrence, Williams and Simmons as a pass rusher — 11 1/2 sacks, 27 QB hits and a 6.9 percent pressure rate in his career — but he’s a terrific disruptor against the run. 6 pick in 2015 was limited to 2 1/2 sacks and 12 QB hits in 12 games last season while battling a stinger, but he still managed a 9.9 percent pressure rate and won’t turn 30 until June 2024.
