1 Free Agent Still on the Market Who Can Help Each NFL Team in 2026

As March turns to April, the focus for many transitions from free agency to the NFL draft.

Most of the big-name veterans who hit the open market have already landed lucrative contracts to play elsewhere or return to their old teams. What was once a bounty of potential difference-makers on both sides of the ball has dwindled significantly.

That doesn't mean the cupboard is bare, though. There are players still available who, while not long-term solutions, can help teams in 2026—veterans coming off injuries or down years who can be had on short-term "prove it" deals, and others who may need to accept that the market isn't going to pay what they expected.

While free agency may have quieted, it isn't silent. There are whispers of value to be had and rumblings of players who can make a real difference for NFL teams in 2026, if not beyond.

And there's at least one guy who can do that for every squad this year.

Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals took something of a measured approach to free agency this year. Even their more prominent signings, such as running back Tyler Allgeier, weren't for big money.

However, the Redbirds still have a glaring need at right tackle, and while many expect the team to use the third overall pick to address that, there is an experienced tackle still available who could give Arizona additional flexibility.

Jawaan Taylor has had issues with penalties over the past couple of years—the 28-year-old was flagged a staggering 30 times the past two seasons, per Pro Football Focus. But most of those fouls were alignment mistakes that appear to be fixable, and he made 111 career starts over seven seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Kansas City Chiefs.

He's not flawless by any means, but he's easily the best right tackle still on the market and should be available on a reasonable short-term contract at this point.

Atlanta Falcons

LB Logan Wilson

There are some major changes in Atlanta this year, including a new head coach in Kevin Stefanski and (potentially) a new quarterback in Tua Tagovailoa.

However, a somewhat dicey salary-cap situation precluded the Falcons from making any splash signings. The team also suffered a major loss on defense when veteran linebacker Kaden Elliss departed for New Orleans.

The Falcons could look to add a linebacker in this year's draft, but after trading their first-rounder to the Los Angeles Rams last year, that will have to wait until Day 2 at least. So, the Falcons could stand to bring in a veteran stopgap to patch the position in the short-term.

Logan Wilson's 2025 season was forgettable—his 70 total tackles split between the Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys were Wilson's fewest since his rookie season. But prior to that the 29-year-old topped 100 tackles in four straight seasons as the "green dot" linebacker for the Bengals.

Baltimore Ravens

OC Ethan Pocic

The Baltimore Ravens have had an eventful offseason. The team traded for star edge-rusher Maxx Crosby, only to back out of the deal at the last minute and pivot to veteran Trey Hendrickson.

The Ravens also suffered a massive loss on the offensive line when Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum landed a record-setting deal in free agency.

Quite a few mock drafts have the Ravens selecting an offensive lineman like Penn State guard Vega Ioane or Utah tackle Spencer Fano at pick No. 14. But there are some aging veterans still available along the offensive front who could provide a short-term solution and allow the Ravens to truly go best player available.

Ethan Pocic may not be the player he once was. The 30-year-old also missed four games last year. But in 826 snaps last year with the Cleveland Browns, Pocic allowed just two sacks and committed just two penalties per PFF.

The Ravens have the cap space to add Pocic, and he may well welcome the opportunity to play for a contender.

Buffalo Bills

WR Juju Smith-Schuster

Given that the team entered the offseason in something of a precarious position relative to the salary cap, the Bills actually did a pretty good job of addressing needs in free agency—the trade for D.J. Moore gives Josh Allen a badly-needed upgrade at wide receiver and Buffalo bolstered the pass rush with the signing of edge-rusher Bradley Chubb.

With just $12.3 million in cap space per Over the Cap and a rookie class still to sign, any further free agency moves will likely be lower-end additions—like signing another wide receiver to flesh out a room that still needs depth.

Juju Smith-Schuster's days of catching 100 passes and topping 1,400 receiving yards are long past him. But it wasn't that long ago (2022) that Smith-Schuster caught 78 passes for 933 yards and three scores with the Kansas City Chiefs, and the 10th-year veteran won't turn 30 until November.

Carolina Panthers

AP Photo/Chris O'Meara

Edge Haason Reddick

The Carolina Panthers made the biggest splash in all of free agency, upgrading the pass rush by giving edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips a four-year contract worth $30 million a season.

While Phillips' arrival should improve a defense that logged just 30 sacks a season ago (third-fewest in the league), there's still precious little depth on the edge behind Phillips and Nic Scourton.

And after last year's surprise playoff run, by the time Carolina goes on the board at pick No. 19 this year's top edge-rusher prospects in the draft will be long gone.

It has been a while since Haason Reddick was a force off the edge—his last 10-sack season came with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023.

However, the 31-year-old had four such seasons in a row with three teams from 2020-2023, including 68 stops and 11 sacks in his lone season with the Panthers in 2021.

Chicago Bears

AP Photo/Nick Wass

Edge Von Miller

The Chicago Bears were reportedly one of the teams who expressed interest in trading for Maxx Crosby after a 2025 season where the NFC North champions logged just 35 sacks as a team.

However, that deal didn't come to fruition, and the Bears don't pick nearly high enough in Round 1 for this year's top pass-rush prospects to be viable targets in the draft.

That leaves free agency—and with the Bears tighter against the salary cap than any team in the NFL, Chicago needs to comb through the bargain bin to add a veteran.

Von Miller may no longer be the player who went to eight Pro Bowls over his first nine seasons and was named the MVP of Super Bowl 50. Miller also just celebrated his 37th birthday.

But last year in Washington, Miller had nine sacks in just 420 snaps, and he is likely looking to land with a team with a legitimate shot at a long postseason run.

Cincinnati Bengals

AP Photo/Godofredo A. Vásquez

Edge Bryce Huff

It's no secret that the Cincinnati Bengals need help at every level of a defense that allowed the second-most yards per game and third-most points per game in the NFL a year ago.

And after the expected departure of Trey Hendrickson and the loss of Joseph Ossai, edge-rusher is right at the top of the list.

It's possible one of this year's "Big 3" edge-rushers (Arvell Reese, Rueben Bain Jr. and David Bailey) will still be on the board when the Bengals first pick at No. 10. But it isn't guaranteed, and even if they do get one of those youngsters, the team needs quantity at the position almost as badly as quality.

Bryce Huff's 2025 season with the San Francisco 49ers was a disappointment, but he logged 10 sacks in 480 snaps with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023.

The 27-year-old is arguably the best edge-rusher who has yet to find a team.

Cleveland Browns

AP Photo/Rick Osentoski

OT Taylor Decker

The Cleveland Browns have taken a buzzsaw to the offensive line this season. The team acquired right tackle Tytus Howard in a trade with the Houston Texans and signed veteran interior linemen Elgton Jenkins and Zion Johnson.

However, left tackle remains a glaring need, so much so that just about everyone expects the Browns to use one of their first-round picks on the position.

However, after reworking edge-rusher Myles Garrett's contract, the Browns have enough cap space ($21.4 million) to take a run at the top left tackle still on the market.

After a decade in Detroit that included a trip to the Pro Bowl in 2024, Taylor Decker asked for and was granted his release by the Lions.

The 32-year-old is past his prime and has missed multiple games each of the last three seasons, but when healthy he remains a quality starter—just two sacks allowed in almost 900 snaps last year, per Pro Football Focus.

Dallas Cowboys

AP Photo/Chris Szagola

LB Bobby Okereke

The Dallas Cowboys defense struggled badly in 2025.

Only two teams in the league allowed more yards per game last year than the Cowboys, and Dallas was the only team in the league that allowed 30 points a contest.

The Cowboys have made an effort to better that defense with the addition of safety Jalen Thompson and a trade for edge-rusher Rashan Gary, but the Dallas D still has multiple needs—including at inside linebacker.

The Cowboys have some young talent at the position in DeMarvion Overshown and Shemar James, but the former can't stay healthy and the latter is largely unproven. Bobby Okereke is not—over seven seasons with the Indianapolis Colts and New York Giants, the 29-year-old has started 95 games and surpassed 130 total tackles four times, including 143 stops with the G-Men in 2025. He also has extensive experience wearing the "green dot" helmet communicator and relaying the defensive signals.

Denver Broncos

AP Photo/Seth Wenig

LB Bobby Wagner

The Denver Broncos faced tremendous uncertainty at the linebacker position this offseason. Dre Greenlaw was released after one poor season, and both Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad were set to hit free agency.

Singleton and Strnad are both back in Denver this year, but if the Broncos' dominant defense has a weakness, it's the off-ball linebackers where Strnad is more "super sub" than three-down starter.

At this point in his 14-year professional career, Bobby Wagner isn't the force he once was—the 2025 season was just the second time the 35-year-old didn't make the Pro Bowl in well over a decade.

But the last time he failed to record 130 tackles in a season was also a decade ago, and he wasn't terrible in coverage in two years in Washington, posting a passer rating against under 90 both years.

Wagner wouldn't be especially expensive, and the 10-time Pro Bowler would likely relish taking a run at a second Super Bowl win.

That his first came against Denver would be ironic.

Detroit Lions

AP Photo/David Dermer

OG Joel Bitonio

Not that long ago, the Detroit Lions fielded arguably the best offensive line in the NFL. But that line backslid in 2025, and after the release of long-time left tackle Taylor Decker the O-line ranks just 16th in the NFL, per Alex Kennedy of PFSN.

The tackle position may have to wait until the draft, whether the Lions target a left tackle at No. 17 overall or look at a right tackle and move Penei Sewell to Jared Goff's blind side. But there are a few guards available on the open market, including one with seven Pro Bowls in the last eight years on his professional resume.

That Pro Bowl streak for Joel Bitonio ended last year, but in almost 1,100 snaps last year with the Cleveland Browns, the 34-year-old surrendered just two sacks and committed a single penalty according to Pro Football Focus.

He'd be a steady veteran addition who would likely welcome the chance to play for a contender again.

Green Bay Packers

AP Photo/Seth Wenig

Edge Leonard Floyd

The Green Bay Packers have major issues on the edge.

It's not just a matter of the ACL tear that ended Micah Parsons' 2025 season—and leaves his availability for the early portion of the 2026 campaign in doubt. Or the fact that the Packers dealt Rashan Gary to the Dallas Cowboys. Or the loss of Kingsley Enagbare in free agency. The Packers also don't have a first-round pick this year as part of the Parsons deal.

The Pack needs bodies—and while the team has $22 million and change in cap space, they also have needs at other positions. Green Bay needs to be frugal here.

At 33 years of age, Leonard Floyd isn't going to be especially expensive—especially after managing just 3.5 sacks in 15 games with the Atlanta Falcons in 2025. But in five straight seasons from 2020-2024, Floyd logged at least 8.5 sacks—including a pair of seasons with double-digits in that category.

Houston Texans

AP Photo/Terrance Williams

CB Adoree' Jackson

On paper at least, the Houston Texans don't appear to have any glaring needs.

The team overhauled the offensive line (again), but with Braden Smith replacing Tytus Howard at right tackle and guard Wyatt Teller joining the team, it appears in relatively good shape.

With that said, the Texans also don't have a lot of cap space ($15.4 million) so the latter stages of free agency will likely be about depth additions.

And no NFL team can ever have too much depth in the defensive backfield.

After nine seasons spent with three teams, Adoree' Jackson's days as a full-time starter may be coming to an end. In 14 games (and 10 starts) a year ago in Philadelphia, he played 587 snaps and allowed just under 63 percent of the passes thrown in his direction to be completed.

In each of the past two seasons, though, the 30-year-old has allowed a passer rating against under 90, and he's an experienced veteran who has started 76 games who could be a good addition as a subpackage player.

Indianapolis Colts

AP Photo/Eric Christian Smith

Edge Derek Barnett

After an eventful offseason that saw quarterback Daniel Jones and wide receiver Alec Pierce get paid and fellow wideout Michael Pittman get dealt, Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard faces a tricky next month or so.

The Colts have a clear need at edge-rusher but no first-round pick with which to target one. The team's off-ball linebackers are half a mess, but Ballard has an excellent record targeting the position in Day 2 or even Day 3 of the draft.

It's the former need we'll address here—even if it's not a player who is going to magically fix the team's problems at the position.

Despite playing less than 400 snaps each of the past two years in the shadow of Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter with the Houston Texans, Derek Barnett had five sacks both seasons. The former first-round pick could benefit from a higher snap count.

And the Colts have to do something to try to generate a pass rush.

Jacksonville Jaguars

AP Photo/Samantha Chow

DT Calais Campbell

There's work to do in Duval County after last year's 13-win march to the AFC South title—and no first-round pick with which to do it after last year's Travis Hunter trade. Devin Lloyd's departure leaves the team with a hole at off-ball linebacker. Ditto for Travis Etienne and the running back spot, although the Jags added Chris Rodriguez Jr. in the backfield.

The team also needs to bolster the interior pass rush—Jacksonville led the league in run defense a year ago, but outside veteran Arik Armstead's five sacks the team generated very little interior pressure.

Admittedly, compared to Calais Campbell Armstead is a youngster—Campbell will turn 40 before the 2026 season starts. But the six-time Pro Bowler showed he can still play at a level last year in Arizona—43 tackles and 6.5 sacks.

Campbell actually had the best year of his career with the Jaguars in 2017—67 stops, 14.5 sacks and a runner-up finish in Defensive Player of the Year voting.

Kansas City Chiefs

AP Photo/Charlie Riedel

WR Stefon Diggs

It's a weird time in Kansas City.

A Chiefs team used to deep playoff runs is coming off its first 10-loss season since a 2-14 debacle in 2012, and quarterback Patrick Mahomes is rehabbing the first major injury of his career—an ACL tear that leaves his availability for the start of the 2026 campaign in doubt.

Bringing in Stefon Diggs wouldn't be a weird move, though. The Chiefs need to add a wide receiver to a room that currently sports Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and not much else. Kansas City has also made something of a habit of bringing in veteran wide receivers who were cast off by other teams.

Diggs is also coming off a quietly-solid season with the New England Patriots: 102 targets, 85 receptions, 1,013 yards and four touchdowns.

Right now, Kansas City's pass-catchers are more a weakness than a strength. The addition of Diggs could change that.

Las Vegas Raiders

AP Photo/Mike Stewart

QB Kirk Cousins

By virtue of last year's woeful three-win season, the Las Vegas Raiders have the first overall pick in April's draft, and everyone expects that to be Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza.

However, just because Mendoza is the future under center in Sin City doesn't mean he should be the present. And with Aidan O'Connell the only QB currently on the roster, the Raiders need a bridge starter who can hold down the fort until Mendoza is ready to take over the offense.

Kirk Cousins wasn't great in 10 games (and eight starts) for the Atlanta Falcons. He completed 61.7 percent of his passes for 1,721 yards with 10 touchdowns and five interceptions. But he is a four-time Pro Bowler with 167 career starts in the NFL under his belt.

Whether it's as a veteran stopgap or a mentor for Mendoza, it makes sense to bring in the 37-year-old.

Los Angeles Chargers

AP Photo/Stew Milne

OG Kevin Zeitler

The Los Angeles Chargers made the playoffs last year, but they did so more in spite of the offensive line than because of it.

The return from injury of tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt will help, but after the Chargers released Mekhi Becton and Zion Johnson signed with the Cleveland Browns, the guard spots in Los Angeles are now a significant question mark.

With the third-most cap space ($48.7 million) in the league, money isn't an issue for the Chargers where adding a lineman is concerned. The dearth of plus starters available is another matter, but there are some aging veterans available who could at least offer a short-term fix.

There was a time when Kevin Zeitler was considered one of the league's best right guards. That may no longer be the case, but the 36-year-old made the Pro Bowl in 2023 and remained effective last year with the Tennessee Titans, especially in pass protection.

Justin Herbert would no doubt welcome that.

Los Angeles Rams

AP Photo/Robert F. Bukaty

WR Keenan Allen

The Los Angeles Rams have one of the most loaded rosters in the NFL on paper.

They already addressed arguably their biggest need in the offseason, swinging a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs that brought cornerback Trent McDuffie to Los Angeles.

The Rams also have one of the best one-two punches in the league at wide receiver in Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.

The team could use an upgrade at the third wideout spot, though, and there are some veterans still looking for work who would fit that bill.

Keenan Allen has reportedly indicated that if he plays at all in 2026, he wants it to be for the Chargers. But he might reconsider if he can stay in L.A.—and potentially have an even better shot at a Super Bowl than he would with the Bolts.

The 33-year-old hasn't had a 1,000-yard season since 2023, but as his 81 catches for 777 yards last year indicate, he can still add value to an NFL offense as an underneath target.

Miami Dolphins

AP Photo/Reed Hoffmann

Edge A.J. Epenesa

Adding talent has essentially been the opposite of what the Miami Dolphins have been doing this offseason.

They have a new quarterback in Malik Willis, but they released edge-rusher Bradley Chubb and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, with the latter coming with an NFL-record dead cap hit. They also traded wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.

It may not be an outright tank, but it certainly looks like a fire sale in South Florida.

With Chubb and Jaelan Phillips both gone, the team's likely starters on the edge in 2026 are Joshua Uche and Chop Robinson. Seventh-year veteran A.J. Epenesa might not bump either player from the starting lineup, but the 27-year-old could add some depth at the position and has three seasons with at least six sacks.

It's not an especially exciting signing, especially after Epenesa failed a physical in Cleveland. But that physical could mean a vet minimum deal, and these Dolphins don't have much to lose other than games.

Minnesota Vikings

AP Photo/Reed Hoffmann

OC Graham Glasgow

There's no shortage of drama under center in the Twin Cities this year, where the acquisition of Kyler Murray sets up a summer-long battle with J.J. McCarthy for the right to be Minnesota's starting quarterback in 2026.

But after veteran Ryan Kelly retired, the spot in front of the quarterback is a question mark as well—the team's top center as things stand now (Blake Brandel) hasn't played 400 snaps at center over five-year career.

Graham Glasgow played almost 900 snaps at center for the Detroit Lions last year alone. In a decade-long career spent in Detroit and Denver, Glasgow has played extensively at all three positions on the interior of the offensive line.

At 33, Glasgow's best football is probably behind him. But he was a capable starter last year in Detroit, giving up just a single sack and committing two penalties across 873 snaps per Pro Football Focus.

New England Patriots

AP Photo/Chris Szagola

WR Deebo Samuel

Last year, a flurry of spending in free agency helped spur the New England Patriots to one of the biggest turnarounds in NFL history—from four wins in 2024 to 14 victories and a berth in Super Bowl LX in 2025.

The Patriots haven't been as free-wheeling in free agency this year, but there have been additions on both sides of the ball, whether it was wide receiver Romeo Doubs on offense or edge-rusher Dre'Mont Jones and safety Kevin Byard on defense.

However, even with Doubs in New England the Patriots could stand to add another pass-catcher with Stefon Diggs' time with the team seemingly over.

Eighth-year veteran Deebo Samuel is an interesting fit.

Samuel probably isn't going to explode for over 1,400 receiving yards or average over 18 yards a catch again. But his versatility should appeal to Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, and Samuel showed last year with the Washington Commanders that he can still be an asset to an offense.

New Orleans Saints

AP Photo/Gerald Herbert

Edge Cameron Jordan

You had to know that sooner or later a "reunion" fit was coming—that we'd hit a team with a clear need at a position that would be best-served by bringing back a familiar face.

Faces don't get that much more familiar in the Big Easy than edge-rusher Cameron Jordan, who is the franchise sack leader with 132 and a future Hall of Famer.

Yes, Jordan will turn 37 in July. But he certainly didn't look over the hill last year in New Orleans, piling up 47 total tackles and a team-high 10.5 sacks. It marked the seventh time over Jordan's 15 years in the NFL that he hit the 10-sack mark.

The Saints need pass-rush help, and while the team has a legitimate shot at an elite rookie edge-rusher at No. 8 overall, Jordan's return would offer New Orleans draft flexibility or a veteran mentor for that young pass-rusher should the team still go that route.

New York Giants

AP Photo/Rick Osentoski

DT D.J. Reader

There are high hopes in New York this season.

The team has a new head coach in John Harbaugh and hopes it has its franchise quarterback in Jaxson Dart. The Giants have multiple young offensive weapons, and the O-line looked markedly improved in 2025.

However, there are still some real questions on defense, especially against the run. No team in the NFC surrendered more rushing yards per game last year than the Giants, and the team gave up a league-worst 5.3 yards per carry.

D.J. Reader isn't going to add much to the pass rush with just 12.5 career sacks over a decade in the NFL. But he has started 128 games in the middle of the defensive line, and the 330-pounder is a plus run defender.

Pairing the 31-year-old with Dexter Lawrence would give the Giants significantly more muscle at the point of attack.

New York Jets

AP Photo/Jack Dempsey

WR Brandin Cooks

The good news for the New York Jets is that the team has the second overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. The bad news is that with no quarterback really worth that pick, they will likely have to wait until 2027 (when they have three first-round picks) to look to the future under center.

That means the present will be a Geno Smith-led offense in 2026, and another long season for a beleaguered fanbase.

The Jets are fifth in the league in available cap space with $35.6 million and badly need a wide receiver to pair with Garrett Wilson. But the free-agent crop at that position wasn't great to open free agency, and the position is pretty picked-over at this point.

Signing veteran wideout Brandin Cooks isn't going to make many headlines. But even if the Jets use the pick obtained in the Sauce Gardner trade to grab a wideout at No. 16 overall, their depth at the position is still all but non-existent.

Philadelphia Eagles

AP Photo/Terrance Williams

Edge Clelin Ferrell

The Philadelphia Eagles made an in-season trade for edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips last year and wanted to bring him back, but his time in the City of Brotherly Love was short-lived—Phillips was lured to Carolina by a four-year, $120 million pact.

The Eagles are hopeful that youngsters like Nolan Smith Jr. and Jalyx Hunt can take a step forward in 2026, and you can bet the rent that Eagles general manager Howie Roseman checked on the availability of Maxx Crosby and Myles Garrett this offseason.

But at this point, the Eagles may have to settle for a low-risk gamble who has shown flashes but never come close to living up to his status as a top-five pick back in 2019.

However, while Clelin Ferrell may carry the label of a draft bust, he's still just 28 years old and coming off arguably the best stretch of football of his career—four sacks in 233 snaps over eight games with the San Francisco 49ers last year.

Pittsburgh Steelers

AP Photo/Greg M. Cooper

OG Mekhi Becton

There are two positions that have seemingly been in flux in Pittsburgh for years. The first is at quarterback, although at this point Pittsburgh appears to be OK with waiting for Aaron Rodgers to make a decision about playing in 2026. If the team really wanted to sign another veteran, they could have by now.

The second is the offensive line, which has been a carousel for the past several seasons. That merry-go-round kept spinning in 2026, with starting guard Issac Seumalo signing with the Arizona Cardinals.

It's possible the Steelers could use the 21st overall pick on a lineman. But the team has other needs on both sides of the ball, and the interior linemen still on the market should be available at something of a discount—including guard Mekhi Becton.

Becton's 2025 season was a letdown compared to the year before. But he's still just 26 years old and the 6'7" 363-pounder has the frame to be an absolute bulldozer.

San Francisco 49ers

AP Photo/Robert F. Bukaty

Edge Joey Bosa

This signing hasn't happened yet, but it makes a lot of sense.

There isn't a team in the league that needs a better pass rush more in 2026 than the San Francisco 49ers. Injuries to Nick Bosa and rookie Mykel Williams played a part last year, but the entire team had three fewer sacks than Myles Garrett.

Both Bosa and Williams are coming off ACL tears, and the former's injury history is becoming rather lengthy. The Niners need to add a body on the edge, and another Bosa could be the answer.

Joey Bosa's last 10-sack season came in 2021, but there aren't many five-time Pro Bowlers available this late in free agency.

General manager John Lynch should be able to find the cap space to make this one work.

Seattle Seahawks

AP Photo/David Becker

RB Najee Harris

The Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl LX, but they saw the MVP of that victory bail in free agency when Kenneth Walker got a huge payday from the Kansas City Chiefs—a loss magnified by the fact that Zach Charbonnet tore his ACL during last year's postseason run.

The team signed Emanuel Wilson, and it's likely the Seahawks will draft a running back fairly early this year. But if Seattle is going to get back to the Super Bowl again, it could use some veteran insurance in the backfield.

Granted, calling Najee Harris "insurance" may seem a bit odd—he carried the ball just 15 times for the Los Angeles Chargers last year before tearing his Achilles tendon.

But in the four preceding seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the 28-year-old hit 1,000 rushing yards four times and never missed a game.

He also visited recently with the Seahawks, a sign that general manager John Schneider knows the team needs to add a back.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

AP Photo/Nick Wass

CB Marshon Lattimore

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in a position that is both enviable and tenuous. Plenty of teams would love to be legitimate contenders in their division, but Tampa's status as one in the NFC South says more about the division they play in than the team they are.

That team imploded after the bye week last year, winning just two games after a 6-2 start. The defense wasn't the only cause of that collapse, but it played a part, and that defense could use help both at the front and back ends.

Tampa will more likely than not be on the outside looking in where the top edge-rusher prospects in the draft class are concerned. A cornerback could be in play at No. 15 overall, but even if that's the case a young position group could use a veteran anchor after Jamel Dean's departure.

Marshon Lattimore wasn't the player in Washington that he was with the New Orleans Saints, but the 2017 Defensive Rookie of the Year has four Pro Bowls on his professional resume and posted a passer rating against of under 70 as recently as two years ago in New Orleans.

Tennessee Titans

AP Photo/Chris Szagola

WR Jauan Jennings

No one can accuse the Tennessee Titans of sitting on their hands this offseason.

After back-to-back three-win seasons, they have been the NFL's most aggressive team in free agency this year. They handed out big contracts to the likes of wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson, defensive tackle John Franklin-Myers and cornerbacks Alontae Taylor and Cordale Flott. They also have a top-five draft pick this year to add another impact player.

Even after all that spending, though, the Titans still have over $63 million in cap space—most in the NFL. So they might as well keep going and add arguably the best wide receiver yet to find a team.

Jauan Jennings isn't a No. 1 wideout who can anchor a pass-catching corps. He's never had a 1,000-yard season. But he's a reliable secondary option—something a Titans team with more questions than answers outside Robinson at the position could use.

Washington Commanders

AP Photo/Daniel Kucin Jr.

CB Trevon Diggs

The Washington Commanders have already taken steps to address one of the NFL's worst pass defenses in 2025, signing cornerback Amik Robertson and safety Nick Cross.

However, there remains work to be done, and Greg Auman of Fox Sports believes that work should include signing seventh-year veteran cornerback Trevon Diggs:

"Diggs is a wild card, two years removed from making $19 million a year, yet a player who was cut by the Cowboys and Packers at the end of this past season. He has an 11-interception season on his résumé, but went all of 2025 without so much as a pass defensed. He's worth a shot for a team that doesn't have to rely on him as an every-down corner."

At this point in free agency, there are no sure things left, especially at a premium position like cornerback. But cap space isn't an issue in Washington, the team still needs help at corner and there isn't a player at the position with a higher potential ceiling still looking for work than the 27-year-old.
