Originally posted on A to Z Sports | By Josh Queipo | Last updated 2/1/24

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 Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Grover Stewart.

Grover Stewart 2024 Contract Projection

Despite missing several games due to suspension, Stewart still had a productive year in 2023. Making up one half of one of the better interior duos in the NFL, he continued to prove he is one of the best run-stuffing nose tackles in the league.

Stewart had the best pressure rate of his career while adding 24 run stops. Grover eats up double teams, sets the tone in the run game and frees up other pass rushers to win one-on-ones. He can help defenses stay stout against the run with lighter boxes which gives them the opportunity to modernize. That’s a valuable commodity for a league that is ever-evolving.

Franchise Tag Likelihood: Low
3 years, $27 million, $9.0 million APY, $16.5 million GTD
Year One Cap Hit: $4.5 million
