The 2022 NFL Free Agency period is officially underway. Many players will be looking for new teams during the offseason after failing to sign a new contract with their former teams. Here are five players that will likely change teams for the 2022 season that their former teams will regret losing based on their age and overall production.

NFL free agents who their former teams will regretfully miss

#5 - FS Marcus Williams, New Orleans Saints

After paying on the franchise tag in the 2021 season and being unable to work out a long-term deal with the New Orleans Saints, Marcus Williams is now an unrestricted free agent. He is one of the most talented available defensive backs and is still just 26 years old, so he should have a relatively large market of interested teams.

Marcus Williams has accumulated an impressive 15 interceptions in five seasons with the Saints. That number would be solid for a cornerback but is even more noteworthy for a free safety who primarily plays in deep zone coverage. His playmaking ability is a desirable trait.

#4 - EDGE Haason Reddick, Carolina Panthers

Haason Reddick is a bit of a late bloomer in his NFL career as a pass rusher. Across his first three seasons in the league, he combined for just 7.5 total sacks and didn't show much potential. He has now followed that up by combining for 23.5 sacks over the last two seasons.

Reddick is still just 27 years old and is now in the prime of his athletic career. He has emerged as a top-level pass rusher, the type of player always in high demand around the NFL every season.
