Welcome to Around The NFL's first glance at the 2015 NFL free-agent market.

It's merely the first week of the offseason process. Franchise tags have yet to be discussed. There's still time for clubs to lock up young stars to long-term contracts. Many of the top free agents will never get the opportunity to test their value on the open market. We will compile a top 100 list and provide a breakdown of each position in early March.

Our list places the highest value on ascendant players with little or no reason to expect a dropoff in production over the next few years.

To view the upcoming free agents by team, position and restricted free agents, click the tabs above.

Without further ado, here are Around The NFL's top 25 NFL free agents for 2015:
