Beginning on March 18, teams can reshape their rosters for the 2020 season. They'll battle to land unrestricted free agents (players who can sign anywhere) and consider restricted free agents (players who will cost their new team a draft pick). They'll also make trades. 

And before March 18, teams will purge players whose contracts are too pricey — even in a year where the salary cap will be north of $195 million. Once released, those players are free agents and can sign anywhere. 

We've built lists not only of free-agents-to-be, but also the players who we think could be traded as well as players who might get cut because they're set to count too much against the salary cap (their cap savings are listed). Next to all of their names are their ages as of Week 1 (Sept. 6, 2020).
