The flurry of NFL free agency is over, and so is the NFL Draft. We’re 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 who’ve yet to sign. Who’s out there?

Allen is the kind of polished technician whose game figures to continue aging well, even having just turned 34. He’s played all but one season of his career with the Chargers, and it seems like if he signs another one-year deal, it’ll be with them. But they’ve remade the WR room over the past couple drafts. Is there still a spot for Allen?

The 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.

Bitonio 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.

Bosa turns 31 this summer, and might be looking at another one-year deal as a supporting piece on a contender. He’s 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.

Can 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 he’s best known for his 10 seasons with the Cardinals, he’s played for four other teams. Maybe one of them picks up the phone.

Chubb isn’t 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.

Clowney has spent most of the decade on one-year deals with various teams, and it’s hard to see that changing now. The 33-year-old had 8.5 sacks and a 19.1% pressure rate in 2025, so he’s still got gas in the tank and can bolster any pass rush room he’s in.

Conklin has battled numerous knee injuries over the years, but he brings over 100 career starts’ worth of experience to the table. If his knees aren’t completely gone, certain OL rooms across the league may value his veteran presence.

Decker asked for his release after a decade with the Lions, alluding to being unable to find a “common ground” in his value. He’s just a year removed from a Pro Bowl season in 2024, and while he turns 33 in August, it’s hard to find reliable tackle play in the NFL, so Decker is a name to watch.

Diggs 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. He’s 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.

Diggs 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.

Douglas 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.

Epenesa agreed to a free agent deal with the Browns … that fell through when they found something in his physical they didn’t like. Who knows what it was, but Epenesa, who only turns 28 in September, is still available.

Hill’s 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. It’s a good bet he signs somewhere; maybe a reunion with the Chiefs?

It’s 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). There’s a role for that somewhere, especially one with his know-how at the position.

Jennings 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? We’ll probably find out, even if he hasn’t signed anywhere just yet.

The 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. There’s a home for a veteran former All-Pro who can still deliver like that.

He’ll 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.
