A ton of dominoes fell in the first full days of the NFL free agency period, with dozens of big names that find new houses or new agreements with their current clubs. But there are still many good players available while we prepare for the end of the first week of important activities.
The field marshal is the NFL marquee position, so it makes sense to review what happened in that position earlier this week. Justin Fields, after deciding to prove the free agency despite the attempts of the Steelers to sign it again, agreed a two -year agreement and $ 40 million with the New York Jets that includes $ 30 million guaranteed. Fields will have another chance to be a starting marshal after going 4-2 as head of the Steelers in 2024.
Shortly after Fields landed with the jets, the Seattle Seahawks signed Sam Darnold with a three -year agreement and $ 100.5 million only a few days after exchanging former Pro Bowler Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders. Like the fields, Darnold will have another chance to lead an offensive after helping to take the Vikings to a record of 14-3 last season. Some others had opportunities to compete, including Daniel Jones with the Indianapolis Colts and Kenny Pickett with the Cleveland Browns.

Now here is a look at 10 of the best players that are still available. It should be noted that the following classification is not only talent; It is also the market demand and the position they play.
Rodgers may not be the best player who is still available, but he is a future member of the Hall of Fame that plays the most important position in all sports, so taking first place was a bit obvious.
It seems that steelers have the inner track In Landing Rodgers after missing the fields. But the giants (who again signed the Darius Slayton receiver on Monday) are also in the mixture. There are rumors that the third Rodgers NFL team will be revealed at some time on Tuesday.
Like Rodgers, Wilson is probably not the second best player that is still available. But he is possible future field marshal of the Hall of Fame that was appointed for his tenth pro Bowl in 2024.
At this point, it seems that Wilson will sign who does not land Rodgers. That could mean a return to Pittsburgh for the 2025 season. A dark horse candidate for Rodgers and Wilson is the Vikings after Minnesota saw Darnold go to Seattle.
The best offensive Tackle that remains in the market. It is on the best side of 30 (29 years). For the Jaguars and the Vikings last season, he played 999 offensive snapshots, allowed seven captures and seven quartback successes while registering a 70.4 block rating of PFF.
A former first round selection that did not work with the jets, Becton enjoyed a professional rebirth last year while helping Eagles win the Super Bowl. A great reason for Becton’s success last year was that he moved from Tackle inside the offensive line. Becton is only 26 years old and has shown considerable growth in both the lock of the race and in the protection of passes.
Like the former teammate and the classmate of 2021 Fields, Jenkins hopes to relive his career with a new team after things do not necessarily work in Chicago. Like Becton, the Jenkins game has improved after the transition from Tackle to Guard. He is also young (27) and already has 40 openings to his credit.
According to reports, several defensive backs found new equipment on Monday, but Douglas is still available. It could be said that the best corner that is still available, Douglas’s career so far includes a victory in the Super Bowl with the Eagles (in 2017, his rookie season) and a year that saw him register a better league of two interceptions for the scores (in 2021 as a member of the Packers. Douglas is a good adjustment for the teams they like to play the area.
It could be aging, and did not illuminate exactly the statistics sheet after joining the Buffalo Bills in the middle of 2024, but Cooper is a proven road corridor that still has the means to be a solid initiator.
The injuries affected in their 2024 season, and before that, Samuel was a type of cover. However, he is still 25 years old, and showed a great game skill in four seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers.
The former second round has not necessarily taken large jumps from an eight looting debut in 2021, but the giant prospect is only 24, and NFL teams can always use additional pass help.
Like Amari Cooper, another former Bills container, Diggs is aging at 31, and is also leaving a serious knee injury. But it is still an objective of fighter possession when it is healthy, very capable of handling a superior job.
