With the offseason in full swing, both for the NFL and the NCAA, player retention or departure is inevitable. In the college realm, players will leave through the portal for other opportunities. In the NFL, free agents will test the waters and possibly head to another team or city. Some of these free agents are more valuable than others.

CBS Sports released their Top 100 NFL Free Agents, including two former Tennessee Volunteers. 49ers cornerback Emmanuel Moseley (No. 93) and Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Cam Sutton (No. 26) were mentioned. 

Moseley, 26, hits free agency after four productive seasons with the 49ers. Last season was an injury-riddled one for Emmanuel, only appearing in 5 games. However, in 2021, Moseley enjoyed possibly his best campaign, with career highs in PBUs (8) and tackles (39), along with the highest snap count of his career (602).

Sutton, 28, is coming off of his sixth season in the Steelers organization, enjoying one of his best seasons in the black and gold. In year 6, Sutton recorded a 71.6 PFF grade with 37 tackles, eight pass breakups, and three interceptions. Sutton is also reliable in his availability, recording over 2,000 snaps in the past two seasons. 

Sutton and Moseley are expected to be hot commodity defensive backs for NFL squads, with both Steelers and 49ers outlets mentioning how imperative it is that both squads re-sign their players. Contract projections are courtesy of Spotrac.

  • Cameron Sutton, CB: 4 years, $22.9 million
  • Emmanuel Moseley, CB: 4 years, $66.7 million
