Big-ticket free agents could leave big holes behind them

FILE - Arizona Cardinals outside linebacker Chandler Jones (55) rushes Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott during the second half of an NFL football game in Arlington, Texas, Jan. 2, 2022. Jones bounced back from an injury-plagued 2020 season to record 10 1/2 sacks in 2021 for his seventh double-digit sack season. Only 12 players have had more seasons with at least 10 sacks and Jones' 107 1/2 for his career lead the NFL since he made his debut in 2012. (AP Photo/Roger Steinman, File)

FILE - New England Patriots cornerback J.C. Jackson runs for a touchdown after an interception against the Carolina Panthers during the second half of an NFL football game Nov. 7, 2021, in Charlotte, N.C. New England opted against using the franchise tag on one of the top man-to-man cornerbacks in the league, leaving an attractive option for other teams. Jackson entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2018 and leads the NFL with 25 interceptions since then. (AP Photo/John Bazemore, File)

FILE - New Orleans Saints offensive tackle Terron Armstead looks to block against the New England Patriots during an NFL football game Sept. 26, 2021 in Foxborough, Mass. New Orleans usually finds a way to keep its coveted free agents but the cap-strapped Saints might not be able to pull it off with Armstead. The three-time Pro Bowler is one of the top pass blocking left tackles and would leave a big void on a New Orleans offense with several question marks. (AP Photo/Winslow Townson, File)
