NFL best available free agents: Some big-name veterans like Tyreek Hill and Stefon Diggs remain for teams to sign
The flurry of NFL free agency is over, and so is the NFL Draft. Were starting to get a clearer picture of what rosters will look like with OTAs, minicamps and later training camps on the horizon.There are still a ton of big-name veteran free agents whove yet to sign. Whos out there?(Names in alphabetical order)Keenan Allen, WRLast team: Los Angeles Chargers Allen is the kind of polished technician whose game figures to continue aging well, even having just turned 34. Hes played all but one season of his career with the Chargers, and it seems like if he signs another one-year deal, itll be with them. But theyve remade the WR room over the past couple drafts. Is there still a spot for Allen?Mekhi Becton, OLLast team: Los Angeles ChargersThe former 11th overall pick seemed to rejuvenate his career with the Eagles in 2024, where he kicked inside to guard and won a Super Bowl. But in his lone year with the Chargers, he struggled with injuries and poor play. It remains to be seen if and where the 27-year-old will get another chance.Joel Bitonio, GLast team: Cleveland BrownsBitonio is years removed from back-to-back first-team All-Pro selections, and the 34-year-old has battled back and knee injuries in recent years. Still, any team looking to solidify its offensive line would do well to inquire on his availability.Joey Bosa, EdgeLast team: Buffalo BillsBosa turns 31 this summer, and might be looking at another one-year deal as a supporting piece on a contender. Hes well removed from his last double-digit sack season in 2021, though he was healthier last year in Buffalo than he had been the previous three.Calais Campbell, DLLast team: Arizona CardinalsCan Campbell, who turns 40 in September, keep doing it? Why not? Especially after a season in which he started all 17 games and racked up 6.5 sacks with 43 tackles? While hes best known for his 10 seasons with the Cardinals, hes played for four other teams. Maybe one of them picks up the phone.Nick Chubb, RBLast team: Houston TexansChubb isnt the same back he was before a devastating knee injury he suffered early in the 2023 season, but he did rush for 506 yards and three touchdowns on 4.1 yards per carry in 15 games last season for the Texans. He could help a team fill out its RB room.Jadeveon Clowney, EdgeLast team: Dallas CowboysClowney has spent most of the decade on one-year deals with various teams, and its hard to see that changing now. The 33-year-old had 8.5 sacks and a 19.1% pressure rate in 2025, so hes still got gas in the tank and can bolster any pass rush room hes in.Jack Conklin, OTLast team: Cleveland BrownsConklin has battled numerous knee injuries over the years, but he brings over 100 career starts worth of experience to the table. If his knees arent completely gone, certain OL rooms across the league may value his veteran presence.Taylor Decker, OTLast team: Detroit LionsDecker asked for his release after a decade with the Lions, alluding to being unable to find a common ground in his value. Hes just a year removed from a Pro Bowl season in 2024, and while he turns 33 in August, its hard to find reliable tackle play in the NFL, so Decker is a name to watch.Stefon Diggs, WR Last team: New England PatriotsDiggs was productive for the Patriots in their run to the Super Bowl last season, hauling in 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns. He was also cut despite signing a three-year, $69 million contract last spring. Hes also facing felony strangulation charges in an alleged pay dispute with a former chef. The 32-year-old feels destined for a short-term deal, pending the off-field issues.Trevon Diggs, CBLast team: Green Bay PackersDiggs suffered a torn ACL in December 2024, and while he was healthy enough to return for the first six games last season, concussion symptoms sidelined him much of the year and the Cowboys released him before Week 18. Diggs was claimed off waivers by the Packers and played in their season finale and wild-card game. Where Diggs plays in 2026 might come down to what type of deal the former All-Pro is seeking vs. what the market is offering.Rasul Douglas, CBLast team: Miami DolphinsDouglas has played for five teams (eight counting practice squads), and had 62 tackles, two interceptions and 13 passes defended in his lone season in Miami last year. He turns 31 in August, and teams can never have enough playable cornerbacks.A.J. Epenesa, EdgeLast team: Buffalo BillsEpenesa agreed to a free agent deal with the Browns that fell through when they found something in his physical they didnt like. Who knows what it was, but Epenesa, who only turns 28 in September, is still available.Tyreek Hill, WRLast team: Miami DolphinsHills calling card is speed, and it remains to be seen if he can hit the gears that make him special having just turned 32 and coming off major knee surgery last September. Its a good bet he signs somewhere; maybe a reunion with the Chiefs?DeAndre Hopkins, WRLast team: Baltimore RavensIts pretty clear what Hopkins, who turns 34 in June, is at this point in his career: a WR3 at best who can win contested catches and gain chunk yardage down the field (on outs, corners and slants specifically). Theres a role for that somewhere, especially one with his know-how at the position.Jauan Jennings, WR Last team: San Francisco 49ersJennings grew into a reliable target for the 49ers, but reportedly wanted more money than they were willing to pay him as they remade their WR room. How will Jennings look as a more prominent part of an offense? Well probably find out, even if he hasnt signed anywhere just yet.Cameron Jordan, EdgeLast team: New Orleans SaintsThe Saints legend may turn 37 this summer, but he had 10.5 sacks and the second-highest pressure-to-sack rate among edge rushers last season, per TruMedia. Theres a home for a veteran former All-Pro who can still deliver like that.Matt Milano, LBLast team: Buffalo BillsHell be 32 when the season starts, and his production has declined the last three seasons as he battled various injuries. But linebacker play is hard to find, so maybe a team will take a chance on Milano. Von Miller, EdgeLast team: Washington CommandersThe price for what amounts to a situational pass rusher may be an issue for some teams, but Millers career production has put him in position to command that. He also had 9.5 sacks last season and played in all 17 games. Even at 37, future first-ballot Hall of Famers can add value to a roster, especially one that sees itself as a contender.David Njoku, TELast team: Cleveland BrownsIn a league thats trending ever more toward multiple-tight end looks, Njoku can provide value to a TE room. The soon-to-be 30-year-old may never reach the elite tier at his position, but hes a solid blocker and a reliable, athletic receiver who can gain yards after the catch. Bobby Okereke, LBLast team: New York GiantsA reliable, relatively durable linebacker like Okereke whos good in pass coverage (especially zone) should have little trouble finding a home before the season, even if he turns 30 in July.DJ Reader, DTLast team: Detroit LionsReader improves the interior of any defense hes on, a run-plugging tackle who can open things up for pass rushers on the edge. The soon-to-be 32-year-old has only been on two losing teams in his 10-year career, which is not nothing.Haason Reddick, EdgeLast team: Tampa Bay BuccaneersIts looking more and more like the 31-year-old Reddick wont rediscover the upper-echelon play he put together with the Eagles a couple years ago, but he can still be a solid rotational pass rush piece.Deebo Samuel, WRLast team: Washington CommandersSamuels trade to the Commanders never took off like either side hoped, catching 72 passes for 727 yards and five touchdowns while never turning into a threat in the run game. Still, the 30-year-old can fill multiple roles and should find a home before kickoff.Jonnu Smith, TELast team: Pittsburgh SteelersA solid majority of Smiths career production has come with Arthur Smith on the coaching staff, but the duo couldnt do much together last season in Pittsburgh. Smith turns 31 in August and is just a year removed from a Pro Bowl season in 2024 with the Dolphins. Someone figured to take a chance on him.L'Jarius Sneed, CBLast team: Tennessee TitansSneed never quite lived up to the $51.5 million in guaranteed money he signed for after being traded to the Titans from the Chiefs, but lingering quad injuries could be partly to blame. Hes just 29 years old, and steady cornerback play is always valuable.Bobby Wagner, LBLast team: Washington CommandersThough he turns 36 in June, Wagner was a first- or second-team All-Pro every year from 2014-2024. Theres a place in pretty much every locker room for that kind of presence, even if his role may vary depending on the roster.Russell Wilson, QBLast team: New York GiantsWilsons next act is likely as a backup, which is what he was for most of last season after giving way to rookie Jaxon Dart in the first month. There are much worse options to spell your starter than Wilson, even at 38 years old.Kevin Zeitler, GLast team: Tennessee TitansIf you want solid, reliable interior OL play, Zeitlers your guy. Hes mainly a one-year hire at this point, but hes durable as all get out, only missing 16 games in his 14-year career. Its a good bet he plays a 15th somewhere.
