List Of Best Restricted Free Agents Still Unsigned

As we are heading closer to September, there are still a bunch of big-name RFAs who have yet to be signed. Although the chance of us seeing any offer sheets signed is very small, these are still players to keep an eye on moving forward. Most are due for raises over their previous contracts, so it will be interesting to see what their new ones will look like.  

Alas, let's take a gander at some notable RFAs who need to be signed before the start of the season. Once a player signs a new deal, the details of the contract will be down below.
