It won't be long until NFL free agency begins, and many players will be getting nice paydays after putting in their time and work.
We're still a little over a month away from the opening of the signing period , though we have a good feel of who is set to hit the market. Several franchise-level players are set to become available, including Dez Bryant, DeMarco Murray, Randall Cobb, Demaryius Thomas and Justin Houston.
We should hear a lot surrounding those players once the March 7 negotiating period begins, and most of the big-name free agents should be off the market on or soon after the official start of free agency on March 10. There is also the potential for some of these players to re-sign with their current teams at some point this offseason.
With that said, here's an early look at some of the notable names set to hit the market.
