The NFL's regular season is over, which for most teams, means it's time to start figuring out plans for the offseason.
NFL free agency is a huge part of the process, and along with the NFL Draft, it has everyone preparing for what should be a very active couple of months.
We've officially come up with our own contract projections for the NFL's top free agents that include context behind each player's 2023 season, the likelihood of a franchise tag, the projection itself, and the first-year cap hit for a team that's “all-in” and is needing to reduce that first-year hit in order to maximize their cap dollars.
So, without further ado, let's check out the projection for Minnesota Vikings linebacker, Jordan Hicks.
Jordan Hicks 2024 Contract Projection
Jordan Hicks has been a solid addition to the Vikings linebacker room, excelling as run defender with a sub-10% miss tackle percentage, and doing a yeoman’s job in coverage. There is very limited pass rush upside to Hicks’ game, but at this point in his career he’s a low-risk signing for a team that wants to add a reliable veteran at a discount, given the deflated market of second and third tier linebackers.
- Franchise Tag Likelihood: None
- Projected Contract: 1 Year, $3M, $3M APY, $1M GTD
- Year One Cap Hit: $2.2M
