Free agents to watch in 2021 NFC championship What the future holds for Aaron Jones Antonio Brown and more

The and are set to face off in the NFC Championship Game this Sunday, and the winner of the matchup will secure a spot in Super Bowl LV. The two quarterbacks headline this matchup -- and for good reason. is the postseason all-time leader in starts (43), completions (1,065), pa sing yards (11,968), pa sing touchdowns (77) and Super Bowl titles (6), while led the NFL with 48 pa sing touchdowns this season, which is tied for the fifth-most in a single season. Both teams have elite offensive weapons as well, such as and for the Packers, and , and for the Bucs.While the Buccaneers and Packers are focused on making it to Super Bowl LV, 28 other teams have already shifted their focus to the offseason. With that obviously comes preparing for free agency, and other general managers will be watching Sunday's conference championship games with certain players on expiring contracts in mind. Below, we will list every Buccaneers and Packers free agent -- whether they be unrestricted, restricted or an Joe Ingles Jersey exclusive-rights free agent -- and discu s the top players from each team. Let's start with the Buccaneers. (h/t Spotrac).LB TB OLB #7 Barrett proved to be a huge pickup for the Buccaneers last year, as he recorded an NFL-best 19.5 sacks. The former undrafted free agent out of Colorado State didn't have that same kind of production in 2020, as he recorded 57 combined tackles and eight sacks in 15 games played, but he was still an important player on this defense. The two sides couldn't agree to terms on a new deal last offseason, so the Bucs placed the franchise tag on him. Will they find more luck in negotiations this time around, or could Barrett be playing for a new team in 2021?LB TB ILB #54 David has spent his entire career with the Buccaneers, and his production hasn't slowed down even though he is about to turn 31. In 2020, he recorded 117 combined tackles, 1.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and 12 tackles for lo s. In nine seasons, he failed to record 100 combined tackles just once! David has also been important for Tampa Bay's defense in the postseason, as he has recorded 16 combined tackles and a sack in two games. His impact as a leader for this unit cannot be overstated. TE TB TE #87 TAR77REC45REC YDs623REC TD7FL0 Gronk came out of retirement to play with his old friend in Brady, and while he wasn't the No. 1 option on offense, he was effective in several games this season. In 16 games played this year, he caught 45 pa ses for 623 yards and seven touchdowns. If he wants to give it another go with the Bucs, you have to imagine the two sides will be able to get another one-year deal done.DT PHI DE #74 Suh may be 34 now, but he has been an effective defensive lineman for the Bucs. This season, he recorded 44 combined tackles and six sacks -- which marked the most quarterback takedowns he had recorded since the 2015 season. He signed a one-year deal with Tampa Bay last offseason and certainly did not slow down in 2020.WR Antonio Brown TB WR #81 TAR62REC45REC YDs483REC TD4FL0 It will be fascinating to see what the Buccaneers decide to do with the previously troubled wideout. Brown caught one of three targets for 10 yards against the in the divisional round, but he had been coming on as of late. He caught two pa ses for 49 yards and a touchdown against Washington in Super Wild-Card Weekend, and his best game as a Buc came in the regular-season finale against the , as he caught 11 of 15 targets for 138 yards and two touchdowns. Is playing in Tampa Bay a situation he has become comfortable with, or is he ready to go somewhere else and try to be a No. 1 option again? WR Chris Godwin TB WR #14 TAR84REC65REC YDs840REC TD7FL0 You have to imagine the Buccaneers will re-sign Godwin to a long-term extension sooner rather than later. The third-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft has caught 244 pa ses for 3,540 yards and 24 touchdowns in 58 career games played with the Bucs, and he has been Brady's favorite receiver this postseason. In two games, he has caught nine of 19 targets for 113 yards and a touchdown.RB TB RB #7 Att97Yds367TD6FL0 The former No. 4 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft rushed for just 367 yards and six touchdowns for the Buccaneers in the regular season, but he has stepped up in the playoffs. In Tampa Bay's two postseason games, Fournette has rushed for 156 yards and a touchdown on 36 carries, and he has played a big part in helping the Buccaneers get to the NFC Championship game. It will be interesting to see how much attention he can get on the open market, and if the Buccaneers are adamant about bringing him back.Rest of the bunchK DT OT CB DT QB TE QB LB RB S OT CB RB WR LB (RFA)TE (ERFA)RB T.J. LoganDE (ERFA)OG (ERFA)LS (ERFA)LB Deone Bucannon RB Aaron Jones GB RB #33 Att201Yds1104TD9FL0 Jones and the Packers have been in negotiations on a new deal for some time now, but nothing has come to fruition. Here's what recently reported on the situation:"The Packers had a deal on the table that would have made Jones among the top five highest-paid backs in the league, but that was in terms of average per year. The big guaranteed money was mi sing. So Jones turned it down and then opted to change agents, hiring Drew Rosenhaus."Demovsky hypothesizes that a decision could have already been made regarding letting Jones go or at least hit the market. It's no secret how important Jones is as a dual-threat weapon in the Packers' offense, so this offseason will surely be an interesting one when it comes to his future.C LAC C #63 Linsley, who was drafted by the Packers in the fifth round of the 2014 NFL Draft, has become an elite interior offensive lineman, and was named a first-team All-Pro this past season. It's safe to say he's set to receive a bump in pay, and could fetch some intriguing offers on the open market.CB GB CB #20 King's situation is an interesting one since he has struggled to stay healthy during his four years in the league. He has never played a full 16-game season, and has Andrei Kirilenko Jersey recorded 168 combined tackles, six interceptions and 27 pa ses defensed in 41 career games. The 2019 season was his best as a pro, as he played in 15 games and recorded career numbers acro s the board with 66 combined tackles, five picks and 15 pa ses defensed. He didn't record a pick this season, but did start in all 12 games he played in. WR (ERFA) NYJ WR #10 TAR46REC33REC YDs451REC TD3FL0 Lazard is an exclusive-rights free agent, which as is any player with fewer than three accrued seasons and an expired contract. If his original team offers him a one-year contract at the league minimum (based on his credited seasons), the player cannot negotiate with other teams. However, he has probably earned himself a nice boost in pay after a second consecutive succe sful season, and he actually led the Packers in receiving against the in the divisional round with 96 yards and a touchdown on four catches.TE (RFA) CHI TE #18 TAR59REC52REC YDs586REC TD11FL0 Tonyan is a restricted free agent, which is a player with three accrued seasons and an expired contract. Without getting too much into detail, that RFAs are free to negotiate and sign with any team, but their original team can offer them one of various qualifying offers ("tenders") that come with the Right of First Refusal and/or draft-pick compensation.Tonyan found his way to the Packers late in 2017 after a practice squad stint with the , and then exploded in 2020. After recording a total of two touchdowns in his first two seasons in Green Bay, he caught a total of 11 touchdowns in 2020 and turned into a legitimate part of this explosive offensive attack. With also on an expiring contract, expect Tonyan to be back in 2021.
