15. Stefon Diggs (WR)
On the field, Stefon Diggs remained productive in 2025, recording 85 receptions for 1,013 yards with New England. Off the field, however, pending felony strangulation and assault charges stemming from a December altercation with his personal chef have overshadowed his football value. The Patriots released Diggs ahead of a $6 million guarantee, and teams are unlikely to pursue him until the legal situation is resolved.
1. Kyler Murray (QB)
The Cardinals officially released Kyler Murray yesterday, making the former No. 1 overall pick available for the veteran minimum. Injuries have limited Murray over the past few seasons, but the two-time Pro Bowler still possesses rare playmaking ability and could benefit from a change of scenery. The 28-year-old is scheduled to visit the Minnesota Vikings today.
2. Rasheed Walker (LT)
A former seventh-round pick, Rasheed Walker has quietly developed into one of the top blindside protectors available on the market. The former Packer started 48 games in Green Bay and turned in a strong 2025 campaign, posting a 93.8% pass-block win rate.
3. Jauan Jennings (WR)
Operating as a 6-foot-3 "power slot" receiver, Jauan Jennings tallied a career-high nine touchdowns for the 49ers in 2025. His elite run blocking and physicality at the point of attack make him especially valuable in modern wide-zone offenses.
4. Kirk Cousins (QB)
The Falcons released Kirk Cousins halfway through his four-year deal to clear an operational path for Michael Penix Jr. and now Tua Tagovailoa. Another year removed from an Achilles injury, Cousins could be a reliable bridge QB on a cheap deal.
5. Jawaan Taylor (OT)
Released by the Chiefs to clear $20 million in cap space, Jawaan Taylor is a polarizing but highly capable tackle. While he frequently draws procedural penalties that stall offensive drives, Taylor's 330-pound frame and massive reach make him a reliable pass protector against speed rushes.
6. Taylor Decker (LT)
Taylor Decker enters the open market after a distinguished decade with the Lions, having requested his release after refusing a substantial pay reduction. While 2025 game film showed signs of physical decline against bend-heavy edge rushers, capable offensive tackles remain incredibly scarce.
7. David Njoku (TE)
David Njoku suffered a sharp statistical regression in 2025, catching just 33 passes for 293 yards amid poor quarterback play and the emergence of rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. in Cleveland. Despite the down year, the 29-year-old remains a premier athletic mismatch with elite straight-line speed and leaping ability.
8. Aaron Rodgers (QB)
At 42 years old, Aaron Rodgers is contemplating retirement following a wild-card defeat with the Steelers. Rodgers' mobility has declined significantly, but the future Hall of Famer's arm strength is still elite. With Pittsburgh hiring Mike McCarthy as head coach, the expectation is that Rodgers will return for one final season.
9. Tyreek Hill (WR)
The Dolphins released Tyreek Hill in February after his 2025 season was cut short by a devastating knee injury suffered in Week 4. Now 32, Hill’s market will hinge largely on medical evaluations, with the Chiefs and Chargers reportedly showing interest.
10. Marshon Lattimore (CB)
A four-time Pro Bowler, Marshon Lattimore struggled through nine games last season, posting career-low coverage metrics before suffering a torn ACL. A transition to a zone-heavy scheme on a low-risk, incentive-laden contract might be the exact recipe needed to revive his career.
11. Jaquan Brisker (S)
Few safeties play with more physicality than Jaquan Brisker. However, his aggressive playstyle has resulted in three documented concussions, making him a substantial medical risk on the open market. The 26-year-old is an optimal fit for physical defensive cultures, though his contract structure will likely be heavily tied to per-game active-roster bonuses to mitigate injury risk.
12. Joel Bitonio (LG)
The expiration of Joel Bitonio's contract triggered a massive $23.5 million dead cap acceleration for the Browns, who preemptively signed Zion Johnson in free agency to replace him. The 34-year-old, seven-time Pro Bowler is currently mulling retirement. If Bitonio decides to return for a 13th season, it will likely be on a heavily discounted deal to chase a championship.
13. Rachaad White (RB)
Rachaad White offers valuable dual-threat versatility and ranks among the league’s best pass-blocking running backs. While he may not project as a clear-cut starter, the 27-year-old profiles as an ideal complementary piece in a committee backfield.
14. Trevon Diggs (CB)
Trevon Diggs has played just 21 games over the past three seasons due to a torn ACL, lingering groin and knee issues, and a concussion. His turbulent 2025 campaign ended with a December release from the Cowboys after a dispute with coaches, followed by a brief 34-snap stint with the Packers before being cut again before the new league year. Despite failing to record an interception last year, the 27-year-old's elite ball-hawking pedigree makes him an intriguing candidate for a short-term, "prove-it" deal.
15. Stefon Diggs (WR)
On the field, Stefon Diggs remained productive in 2025, recording 85 receptions for 1,013 yards with New England. Off the field, however, pending felony strangulation and assault charges stemming from a December altercation with his personal chef have overshadowed his football value. The Patriots released Diggs ahead of a $6 million guarantee, and teams are unlikely to pursue him until the legal situation is resolved.
1. Kyler Murray (QB)
The Cardinals officially released Kyler Murray yesterday, making the former No. 1 overall pick available for the veteran minimum. Injuries have limited Murray over the past few seasons, but the two-time Pro Bowler still possesses rare playmaking ability and could benefit from a change of scenery.
