The Jets will have some $100 million to spend in free agency next summer. Here’s a look at the top expected free agents, listed alphabetically, with their ages at the start of next season:



Ezekiel Ansah, DE, Lions (Age next season 30)

Former fifth overall pick has produced a 12-sack and a 14.5-sack campaign.

Le’Veon Bell, RB, Steelers (27)

The AFC’s premier dual-threat running back. Has missed all season due to contract dispute. Won’t come cheap.

Jadeveon Clowney, DE, Texans (26)

After an injury-plagued beginning to his NFL career, the former top overall pick has emerged as disruptive monster.

Trey Flowers, DE, Patriots (26)

Unsung former Razorback has learned under Bill Belichick and Matt Patricia.

Dee Ford, DE, Chiefs (28)

Reigning AFC Defensive Player of the Month. Speedy, undersized edge rusher has eight sacks in eight games.

Brandon Graham, DE, Eagles (31)

Forced the Super Bowl-clinching fumble on Tom Brady. Former first-rounder produced 9.5 sacks last season.

Grady Jarrett, DT, Falcons (26)

Pocket-collapsing 300-pounder racked up three sacks in the Super Bowl loss to the Patriots.



Demarcus Lawrence, DE, Cowboys (27)

The cream of the pass-rushing crop. Has 20 sacks in his past 23 games.

Ndamukong Suh, DT, Rams (32)

Veteran enforcer is on his third team after spending time with the Lions and Dolphins. Certainly has a controversial past.



Earl Thomas, S, Seahawks (30)

Former first-round pick who emerged as the ball-hawking anchor of the Legion of Boom. Has fallen out of favor in Seattle due to contract issues.
