196. Jayron Kearse - S

Prediction: Buffalo Bills

101. Antonio Gibson - RB
There's value in running backs being able to catch passes and contribute in the back field. Antonio Gibson has had a questionable track record blocking, which could limit his suitors.

*Gibson signed a three-year deal with the New England Patriots*
102. Zack Moss - RB
After a strong showing as a backup running back with the Indianapolis Colts, Zack Moss created a real market for himself in free agency.

*Moss signed a two-year deal with the Cincinnati Bengals*
103. Russell Wilson - QB
It wasn't a pretty ending to Russell Wilson's tenure with the Denver Broncos. After being released, Wilson had the ability to search for a new home where he'd have more certainty as a starting signal-caller.

*Wilson Signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers*
104. Sam Darnold - QB
After sitting as a backup quarterback in San Francisco, Sam Darnold entered the offseason searching for an opportunity where he'd have the potential to be a starter in the NFL again.

*Darnold Signed a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings*
105. Isaiah McKenzie - WR
It hasn't been an NFL career filled with consistency, but Isaiah McKenzie has shown flashes of putting the pieces together and being a productive receiver.

*McKenzie signed a one-year deal with the New York Giants*
106. Mack Hollins - WR
Despite being a physical specimen, Mack Hollins hasn't been able to string together multi-year deals in the NFL. Will a bigger opportunity potentially change that?

*Hollins signed a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills*
107. Marquez Valdes-Scantling - WR
The experience that Marquez Valdes-Scantling brings to the table should be of value to a team looking to get over the hump.

*Valdes-Scantling has reportedly signed a contract with the Buffalo Bills*
108. Jalen Guyton - WR
The potential has always been there for Jalen Guyton, but he didn't reach that potential with the Los Angeles Chargers. Can a change of scenery bolster his stats?

*Guyton has signed a contract with the Las Vegas Raiders*
109. Laviska Shenault Jr. - WR
NFL teams continue to believe that there is something there with Laviska Shenault Jr. His time in the league is running out if he doesn't start to tangibly prove something.

*Shenault Jr. has signed a contract with the Seattle Seahawks*
110. Cordarrelle Patterson - RB/WR
With his ability to run multiple gadget plays and impact a football game in the red zone, it won't be a surprise to see Cordarrelle Patterson continue to land contracts in the NFL.

*Patterson signed a contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers*

111. D'Onta Foreman - RB
After being involved in a crowded backfield in Chicago, you have to wonder what D'Onta Foreman is thinking in free agency. Will he look for a role he can potentially get more of a time share in?

*Foreman signed a contract with the Cleveland Browns*
112. Patrick Taylor - RB
There's been times during his short NFL career where it looked like Patrick Taylor was carving out a real role for himself. Consistency and opportunities have been two big road blocks for him.

*Taylor signed a contract with the San Francisco 49ers*
113. Dante Fowler Jr. - DE
Dante Fowler Jr. continues to be a puzzling player to navigate in NFL circles. No one questions the potential he boasts, but he's lacked the consistency to stick with one franchise.

*Fowler Jr. signed a contract with the Washington Commanders*
114. D.J. Wonnum - LB
It's no secret that teams are looking to add talent to their roster with room to unlock more potential. That's exactly with the case with what we've seen from D.J. Wonnum in his early career.

*Wonnum signed a contract with the Carolina Panthers*
115. David Sharpe - OT
NFL teams are often looking for depth in free agency in the trenches, which David Sharpe has continued to provide. Although he's not going to start for you, he provides the necessary depth at the end of your roster.

*Sharpe signed a contract with the Houston Texans*
116. Matt Pryor - OT
Although he hasn't notoriously gotten a high snap count, Matt Pryor is looking to catch on with a new team in free agency and see an uptick as a veteran. Will a team looking for depth take a chance on him?

*Pryor signed a contract with the Chicago Bears*
117. Royce Freeman - RB
Royce Freeman has yet to find a place where he can consistently contribute to the offensive game plan. Although that's unlikely to change, he'll still have suitors in a part-time role.

*Freeman signed a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys*
118. Boston Scott - RB
Boston Scott has shown flashes during his tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles, but was never able to steal the backfield and get consistent work. How will that make him approach free agency?

*Scott signed a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams*
119. DeeJay Dallas - RB
There hasn't been a large chunk of opportunity to this point in the NFL career of DeeJay Dallas. Will he be looking for a chance with more touches available in the backfield this time around?

*Dallas signed a three-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals*
120. Trent Brown - OT
The resume that Trent Brown brings to the table is extensive. Although he's not what he once was, he can still contribute and play a role on an offensive line.

*Brown signed a one-year deal with the Cincinnati Bengals*
121. Blake Brandel - OT
Blake Brandel has shown some progression early in his NFL career. Does he have another gear that can really help elevate an offensive line?

*Brandel signed a three-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings*
122. Andre Dillard - OT
Many teams are in the hunt for a strong offensive tackle that has experience. Although there's some recent concerns, there's no doubt teams will show interest in adding Andre Dillard as a depth option.

*Dillard signed a one-year deal with the Green Bay Packers*
123. Dean Lowry - DE
Depth on the defensive line is very important and can impact any game. Not everyone is a star, but players like Dean Lowry can play a p in a limited role.

*Lowry signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers*
124. Quinton Jefferson - DT
Although consistency has been seen as an issue at this point, Quinton Jefferson still provides nice depth on defense in a veteran role for a team looking to bolster their line.

*Jefferson signed a one-year deal with the Cleveland Browns*
125. Randy Gregory - LB
Randy Gregory has shown up at times during his NFL career, but there's back an overall lack of consistency. The talent has always been there, but he lacks the type of presence to stay in one spot for a prolonged time period.

*Gregory signed a one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers*
126. Brandon Graham - DE
There's been a lot to like about what Brandon Graham has continued to bring to the table for the Philadelphia Eagles. It's tough to envision the sides splitting apart this time around.

*Graham signed a one-year extension with the Philadelphia Eagles*
127. Jameis Winston - QB
Reliable back up quarterbacks are valuable in the NFL, and Jameis Winston has proven to be able to fill that role nicely. Will he have a new home heading into the 2024 season?

*Winston signed a one-year deal with the Cleveland Browns*
128. Drew Lock - QB
Although things didn't ultimately end well in Seattle, Drew Lock still has a place in the NFL for now. In an environment where he can compete for a starting job, Lock has the potential to surprise.

*Lock signed a one-year deal with the New York Giants*
129. Jacoby Brissett - QB
Jacoby Brissett has continued to be a low-maintenance back up quarterback in the NFL. In terms of best fits, a landing spot where Brissett can take some of the weight off a young quarterback makes sense.

*Brissett signed a one-year deal with the New England Patriots*
130. K.J. Osborn - WR
With the competition that's present in Minnesota for targets, it won't be a surprise to see K.J. Osborn find a new area code in free agency. The talent has been there, but the opportunity hasn't jumped off the page yet.

*Osborn signed a one-year deal with the New England Patriots*
131. Quez Watkins - WR
There have been times in Philadelphia where Quez Watkins has popped, and others where he's left us underwhelmed. Will he try and find a new home with more snaps?

*Watkins signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers*
132. Harrison Bryant - TE
Although the production and snap count haven't always been there for Harrison Bryant, he's proven to be a reliable red zone target, which still has value in the modern day NFL.

*Bryant signed a one-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders*
133. William Gholston - DE
It's not hard to envision the Tampa Bay Buccaneers holding onto William Gholston in a depth role. He's his entire career in Tampa Bay and it's hard to see the two sides not coming to some sort of agreement as a depth piece.

*Gholston signed a one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers*
134. Kyle Peko - DT
Kyle Peko has had multiple homes after the last five years and really hasn't been able to stick with one team after his tenure with the Denver Broncos. Peko has value as a depth player, even if he's unlikely to see the field a ton.

*Peko signed a one-year deal with the Detroit Lions*
135. Cody Whitehair - OL
Cody Whitehair provides some veteran leadership for an offensive line, which could make him valuable to a younger roster that's looking to develop talent on their line.

*Whitehair signed a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints*

136. Tremayne Anchrum - OL
Depth on the offensive line remains somethin that teams covet at this point in free agency. Tremayne Anchrum brings that to the table, which should solidify him a new contract.

*Anchrum signed a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks*
137. Jauan Jennings - WR
It's still early on in his career, meaning Jauan Jennings is still a restricted free agent. With that in mind, it's unlikely we see him change area codes this offseason.

*Jennings signed a two-year extension with the San Francisco 49ers*
138. Mason Rudolph - QB
After showing what he could do down the stretch for the Pittsburgh Steelers, it's time for a new beginning for Mason Rudolph. A change of scenery could give him a better opportunity.

*Rudolph signed a one-year deal with the Tennessee Titans*
139. Jimmy Garoppolo - QB
Although he won't start the season on time due to a suspension, there's still value in having a backup quarterback with the strengths that Jimmy Garoppolo can provide.

*Garoppolo signed a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams*
140. Joshua Dobbs – QB
Teams are always in search of backup quarterbacks that can provide stability at the position if they need to start for multiple weeks. Joshua Dobbs has demonstrated he can provide that throughout his career.

*Dobbs signed a one-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers*
141. Austin Hooper – TE
It will be interesting to see how Austin Hooper approaches his free agency. He's bounced around of late, but has proven to be a reliable option when he's been able to stay on the field.

*Hooper signed a one-year deal with the New England Patriots*
142. Brock Wright – TE
With Brock Wright signing an offer sheet with the San Francisco 49ers, the Detroit Lions had a chance to match the contract, and ultimately chose to keep this tight end in the fold.

*The Lions matched the 49ers offer sheet to keep Brock Wright*
143. Eli Apple - CB
The reviews haven't always been kind for what Eli Apple brings to the table. Still, he provides serviceable depth, which is something teams will need throughout their secondary in a long season.

Prediction: Arizona Cardinals (2025 Super Bowl Odds: +10000)
144. Zay Jones - WR
After being released by Jacksonville, Zay Jones has the opportunity to catch on with another NFL franchise. Multiple teams are still in need of a wide receiver that can contribute at this point in the offseason.

Prediction: Tennessee Titans (2025 Super Bowl Odds: +13000)
145. Nick Vannett - TE
It's not always about just the production that a tight end brings to the table. Tight ends are vital for blocking and the run game, which gives players like Nick Vannett an opportunity to secure another contract.

Prediction: Green Bay Packers (2025 Super Bowl Odds: +1900)
146. Tyler Johnson - WR
Tyler Johnson has continued to be a reliable option as a wide receiver. Johnson has shown explosive tendencies at times throughout his NFL career, but has struggled to find the consistency in order to stay on the field.

*Johnson signed a contract with the Los Angeles Rams*
147. Donovan Peoples-Jones - WR
There's definitely some value in what Donovan Peoples-Jones brings to the football field. Although he's never going to play a ton of snaps, defenses have to be aware whenever he's lined up.

*Peoples-Jones signed a contract with the Detroit Lions*
148. Sione Takitaki - LB
Sione Takitaki remains an enigma in NFL circles. While his potential is undeniable, his lack of consistency has prevented him from becoming a full-time starter in the league.

*Takitaki signed a contract with the New England Patriots*
149. Tyrel Dodson - LB
Although Tyrel Dodson has yet to fully establish himself in the NFL, there's still reason to be bullish about his overall potential after some promising time with the Buffalo Bills.

*Dodson signed a contract with the Seattle Seahawks*
150. Jerome Baker - LB
It's no secret that teams aim to enhance their rosters by adding talent with untapped potential. This has been evident in the career to this point of Jerome Baker, which should earn him more work.

*Baker signed a contract with the Seattle Seahawks*
151. Jeff Driskel - QB
Teams with young quarterbacks are often in search of veteran backup quarterbacks to ease the burden early on in their respective careers. This helps demonstrate why Jeff Driskel brings value to the table in a depth quarterback role.

*Driskel signed a contract with the Washington Commanders*
152. Easton Stick - QB
After an injury to their starting franchise quarterback, the Los Angeles Chargers got a favorable glimpse at the potential of Easton Stick. It won't be a surprise to see him continue sticking on with the Chargers.

*Stick signed a contract with the Los Angeles Chargers*
153. Jerry Tillery - DT
Jerry Tillery likely won't line up as a starter in the NFL, but he's proven to be a reliable depth piece as a defensive tackle. His ability to stay healthy and produce in a limited role has value.

*Tillery signed a contract with the Minnesota Vikings*
154. Leki Fotu - DT
Leki Fotu had some consistency issues during his four years with the Arizona Cardinals. He's yet to blossom as a starter in he NFL, but he's demonstrated he can play meaningful snaps in the league.

*Fotu signed a contract with the New York Jets*
155. Vonn Bell - S
Even though some consider him a shell of his former self, there's still some value left in the tank for what Vonn Bell can offer a team in their secondary.

*Bell signed a contract with the Cincinnati Bengals*
156. Siran Neal - CB
It's hard to completely gauge what exactly Siran Neal is in the NFL. When you have that type of profile in the secondary, it typically equates to you being a depth option.

*Neal signed a contract with the Miami Dolphins*
157. Ben DiNucci - QB
It's hard to say if Ben DiNucci will be able to find work at this point for the 2024 season. In saying that, all it takes is one injury to a quarterback on a teams roster to get a phone call.

Prediction: Dallas Cowboys (2025 Super Bowl Odds: +1600)
158. Dawuane Smoot - LB
There should at least be some kind of market for Dawuane Smoot in free agency. Although it's unlikely he gets any sort of term, the potential is there in the right setting for him to be more impactful.

*Smoot signed a contract with the Buffalo Bills*
159. Mike Danna - DE
Although there's always the possibility of a change, it feels as though the likelihood that Mike Danna remains with the Kansas City Chiefs is strong.

*Danna signed a three-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs*
160. Bradley Bozeman - C
It won't be a surprise if there's still some interest in a veteran center like Bradley Bozeman. He provides valuable insurance and has the reps to make a quarterback feel comfortable.

*Bozeman signed a contract with the Los Angeles Chargers*
161. Jordan Elliott - DT
There's some real value in bringing in a player that still has upside. Jordan Elliott has exactly that type of presence, which should make him an appealing free agency depth option.

*Elliott signed a contract with the San Francisco 49ers*
162. Raekwon Davis - DT
NFL teams are continuously looking to beef up their defensive front, and Raekwon Davis allows them to do that. Davis is a solid option that can provide good results in the right setting.

*Davis signed a contract with the Indianapolis Colts*
163. Mitch Morse - C
It should hardly be a surprise the importance that teams put on protecting their starting quarterbacks. The center is a big part of multiple parts of the offense, meaning veterans like Mitch Morse are very valuable.

*Morse signed a contract with the Las Vegas Raiders*
164. Coleman Shelton - C
Although he's not on the same level of Morse, there's still value in what Coleman Shelton can offer an NFL franchise. It won't be a surprise to land in a spot where he can continue to grow.

*Shelton signed a contract with the Chicago Bears*
165. Maurice Hurst - DT
Maurice Hurst is a player that's still really hitting the prime of his career. Although he's mostly viewed as a depth piece, that doesn't mean he won't find a role throughout the league.

*Hurst signed a contract with the Cleveland Browns*
166. Evan Brown - C
There's still some room for Evan Brown to continuing growing in the NFL on the offensive line. Although he's unlikely to garner a lot of attention, he should find himself with a short deal when everything is said and done.

*Brown signed a contract with the Arizona Cardinals*
167. Clyde Edwards-Helaire - RB
Although it's been a rollercoaster ride throughout the early stages of his NFL career, there's still a lot of positives that Clyde Edwards-Helaire brings to the table as a running back.

*Edwards-Helaire signed a contract with the Kansas City Chiefs*
168. Tavierre Thomas - CB
Having depth in the secondary is important, which is something that Tavierre Thomas can continue adding to an NFL roster moving forward. Look for a short deal in free agency.

*Thomas signed a contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers*
169. Duane Brown - OT
It's fair to wonder if Duane Brown has enough to offer an NFL teanymore at this point in his career. If he's willing to give it another shot, it'll likely be on a contender looking for depth on their line.

Prediction: Kansas City Chiefs (2025 Super Bowl Odds: +600)
170. Joshua Kelley - RB
There was plenty of talk about Joshua Kelley being the succession plan in Los Angeles, but that never came to fruition after Austin Ekeler departed. Kelley still has potential, but his time in the league could be ticking.

Prediction: Las Vegas Raiders (2025 Super Bowl Odds: +8000)
171. Jerick McKinnon - RB
After the 2024 NFL Draft, there's more intrigue around some of the pending free agent running backs. Jerick McKinnon knows how to catch passes out of the backfield and still provide value.

Prediction: Indianapolis Colts (2025 Super Bowl Odds: +5500)
172. Eno Benjamin - RB
There have been some real flashes from Eno Benjamin throughout his NFL career, which should warrant him a new job on an NFL roster. At this point in free agency, we should be hearing his name more in the coming weeks.

Prediction: Houston Texans (2025 Super Bowl Odds: +1600)
173. Deon Jackson - RB
There have been a lot of opportunities at this point for Deon Jackson in an NFL backfield, but he's proven to be a solid depth option for a team that's seen injuries hit their running back room.

Prediction: Green Bay Packers (2025 Super Bowl Odds: +1900)
174. Nick Gates - C
It might be a stretch to consider Nick Gates as a starting center right now, but it never hurts to have depth at the position when you factor in how important it is.

Prediction: Pittsburgh Steelers (2025 Super Bowl Odds: +5000)
175. Jerry Hughes - DE
Jerry Hughes might be getting up there in age for a defender, but he's at least proven he can add some production to a contending team. Will a team view him as a later add as a veteran leader?

Prediction: Baltimore Ravens (2025 Super Bowl Odds: +950)
176. Rasheem Green - DL
Rasheem Green likely still has some good years of football ahead of him as a 27-year-old free agent. Will a team see the value in bringing him as a potential upside play?

Prediction: Chicago Bears (2025 Super Bowl Odds: +950)
177. Matt Breida - RB
Matt Breida has continued to bounce around the NFL as a running back. Despite not being able to stick in one place, there's some talent here, and it won't be a surprise to see him sign with a practice squad or depth option.

Prediction: Minnesota Vikings (2025 Super Bowl Odds: +8000)
178. Jermaine Eluemunor - T
Don't be surprised if there's some real strong interest in Jermaine Eluemunor during NFL free agency. When he's been able to stay on the football field, Eluemunor is the definition of a reliable tackle.

*Eluemunor signed a contract with the New York Giants*

179. Logan Thomas - TE
The issue for Logan Thomas at this stage in his career has been the ability to stay on the football field. No one is questioning the impact he can have on an offense as a secondary tight end option.

*Thomas signed a contract with the San Francisco 49ers*
180. Kamu Grugier-Hill - LB
There's definitely plenty to like about what Kamu Grugier-Hill can offer in a depth role at this stage in his NFL career. There's merit in him getting some term, but it looks more likely you'll see a one-year deal.

*Grugier-Hill signed a contract with the Minnesota Vikings*
181. Dare Ogunbowale - RB
Dare Ogunbowale has shown some strong bursts at times for the Houston Texans, especially out of the flat in the passing game. Will he stick around or potentially find a new home?

*Ogunbowale signed a contract with the Houston Texans*
182. Tanner Hudson - TE
It's certainly nice to have the added production that tight ends can bring, but that's not all they have to offer. Blocking is just as important, which is something Tanner Hudson continues to do well.

*Hudson signed a contract with the Cincinnati Bengals*
183. Trey Sermon - RB
Not many people question the talent that Trey Sermon has on an NFL field. To this point, he's lacked the consistency to stay in a running back room, along with the work ethic needed to stand out. Will that change in 2024?

*Sermon signed a contract with the Indianapolis Colts*
184. Chase Edmonds - RB
Chase Edmonds hasn't proven a lot as someone that can be a workhorse running back in the NFL. Still, he has talent as a pass catching running back, which should see him still receive work moving forward.

*Edmonds signed a contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers*
185. Tyler Huntley - QB
It's not hard to see the value that a quarterback like Tyler Huntley can bring. With his arm and legs, Huntley is a strong option as a backup quarterback that can fill in when called upon.

*Huntley signed a contract with the Cleveland Browns*
186. Olamide Zaccheaus - WR
It hasn't been an overly thrilling NFL career to this point for Olamide Zaccheaus. Still, he's done enough as a secondary wideout to warrant being on an NFL roster, and that should continue this year.

*Zaccheaus signed a contract with the Washington Commanders*
187. Malcolm Roach - DT
Malcolm Roach has continued to be a suitable depth option for an NFL team on their defensive line. His improved play might just earn him a multi-year deal in the right setting.

*Roach signed a contract with the Denver Broncos*
188. Aaron Brewer - G
It's no secret the importance that protecting a quarterback plays in the NFL. Aaron Brewer has shown value in that role, which should earn him a multi-year contract in free agency.

*Brewer signed a contract with the Miami Dolphins*

Stay ahead of the game and elevate your sports betting experience with SportsGrid.
189. Ronnie Harrison Jr. - S
Ronnie Harrison Jr. still has some potential, it won't be a surprise if he sticks around in Indianapolis. It was a nice fit in Indy last year, will the sides be able to continue the relationship?

*Harrison Jr. signed a contract with the Indianapolis Colts*
190. Kevin Zeitler - G
There's definite importance to NFL teams valuing veteran guard play on an offensive line. Kevin Zeitler has continued to do exactly that, which has him as a valuable commodity in free agency.

*Zeitler signed a contract with the Detroit Lions*
191. Emmanuel Ogbah - DE
After spending multiple years with the Miami Dolphins, will Emmanuel Ogbah have to find a new area code in 2024? Depending on how things play out in camp for Miami, this could very well be the case.

*Ogbah signed a contract with the Miami Dolphins*
192. Amik Robertson - CB
Having depth in the secondary is important and Amik Robertson has shown that he's very capable of playing a strong presence in that field. With his resume, Robertson might just find himself with a multi-year payday.

*Robertson signed a contract with the Detroit Lions*
193. Johnathan Abram - S
Although he hasn't been able to stick as a starter, Johnathan Abram has provided value as a depth defender in the secondary. A one-year deal will likely be on the horizon for this safety.

*Abrams signed a contract with the New Orleans Saints*

Stay ahead of the game and elevate your sports betting experience with SportsGrid.
194. Jourdan Lewis - CB
Throughout his seven years with the Dallas Cowboys, Jourdan Lewis has done a solid job playing a depth in their secondary. Will the Cowboys continue to see his value and bring him back?

*Lewis signed a contract with the Dallas Cowboys*
195. Quandre Diggs - S
Having depth in an NFL secondary is very important. Although consistency has been an issue of late, Quandre Diggs still has a defined role in the league and should earn another deal.

*Diggs signed a contract with the Tennessee Titans*

Stay ahead of the game and elevate your sports betting experience with SportsGrid.
196. Jayron Kearse - S
Although he didn't have a banner season last year with the Dallas Cowboys, there's still some value in what Jayron Kearse can offer a team needing more depth in their secondary.

Prediction: Buffalo Bills

Stay ahead of the game and elevate your sports betting experience with SportsGrid.
101. Antonio Gibson - RB
There's value in running backs being able to catch passes and contribute in the back field. Antonio Gibson has had a questionable track record blocking, which could limit his suitors.

*Gibson signed a three-year deal with the New England Patriots*
