Top NFL Bargain Free Agents Remaining After Keenan Allen, Trevon Diggs, Taylor Rapp Deals

NFL training camps are reaching their conclusion, and the preseason is in full swing. This means, of course, that teams are discovering new holes to fill and turning back to the free-agent market to fill them.

Recent signings featured some big names like Jadeveon Clowney, Stefon Diggs, and Von Miller. However, it has also included potential bargain signings like those of wide receiver Keenan Allen, cornerback Trevon Diggs and safety Taylor Rapp.

The good news for teams still looking to address needs is that several more potential bargains remain unsigned and available.

Here, you'll find the top bargain free agents left on the market, why they could be intriguing options, and possible landing spots based on team needs, past performance, player potential, and recent buzz.

G Mekhi Becton

Mekhi Becton was a 2020 first-round pick out of Louisville. However, injuries and underwhelming play prevented him from ever living up to his draft status during his time with the New York Jets.

Becton was again hampered by poor performances and injuries in the 2025 season.

The 27-year-old appeared in 17 games for the Los Angeles Chargers but battled numerous ailments and was graded 79th overall among guards by Pro Football Focus.

Becton stayed mostly healthy in 2024 and performed at an extremely high level with the Philadelphia Eagles. There's no guarantee he can return to that form, but a team that signs him to an incentive-laden "prove-it" deal could reap significant rewards if he does.

Becton would make the most sense for a potential contender that is willing to gamble on his upside, as Philadelphia did in 2024. The Detroit Lions, who have a competition brewing at left guard, and the Seattle Seahawks would be two logical suitors.

The Seahawks would likely view Becton as depth, but they are clearly open to reclamation projects, as evidenced by their recent signing of Trevon Diggs.

OT Taylor Decker

After the Lions failed to work out a contract adjustment with Taylor Decker, the longtime starting left tackle was granted his release from the team. The soon-to-be 33-year-old has been available ever since.

While Decker's experience should be valued—he's started all 140 games in which he has appeared—his age and recent performance should leave him open to a modest, incentive-laden deal. He was graded 41st among offensive tackles by Pro Football Focus last season.

Decker would be a sensible option for the Washington Commanders, who lost left tackle Laremy Tunsil to a torn triceps—though Washington plans to replace Tunsil with an in-house option, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

The Chicago Bears would also be a solid landing spot for Decker, and not just because of his connection to Ben Johnson. The Bears have late-2025 starter Ozzy Trapilo coming off a torn patellar tendon and no clear leader in their camp competition at left tackle.

"It's been a little bit of a revolving door," Johnson said, per The Athletic's Dan Wiederer.

Edge Leonard Floyd

We've seen a run on pass-rushers in August, with Clowney joining the Houston Texans, Miller joining the Dallas Cowboys, and Za'Darius Smith landing with the Atlanta Falcons.

Leonard Floyd, who started 15 games for Atlanta last season, could be the next pass-rushing domino to fall. While he recorded just 3.5 sacks in 2025, he added five tackles for loss, 11 quarterback hits, and 19 QB pressures.

Pass-rushers generally draw a premium in free agency, but with Clowney, Miller and Smith off the market, Floyd may be available on a value contract.

Even after adding Smith, the Falcons should have some interest in bringing back Floyd. Jalon Walker is out for the year with a torn ACL. Fellow 2025 first-round pick James Pearce Jr. has been suspended for the first eight games of the 2026 season under the NFL's personal-conduct policy.

The Cleveland Browns should also take a look at Floyd. They thought they had landed Smith but lost him at the last minute to former head coach Kevin Stefanski and the Falcons.

Browns edge-defender Alex Wright also exited Thursday's practice on a cart with a reported leg injury.

CB Adoree' Jackson

Cornerback Adoree' Jackson was a bargain contributor for the Eagles last season. He played on a low-risk one-year, $1.8 million contract but ended up making 10 starts for the Philly defense. He allowed an opposing passer rating of only 80.2 in coverage and chipped in with three punt returns on special teams.

If Jackson is willing to sign another budget contract, he'll provide immense value again in 2026. According to Fowler, Jackson has already drawn interest from "a few teams" and could be an option for the rival Cowboys.

"The Cowboys have explored cornerback help via free agency," Fowler posted on X.

As Fowler pointed out, Dallas' new defensive coordinator, Christian Parker, coached Jackson as the Eagles' defensive backs coach in 2025.

Jackson would also be a logical target for the Washington Commanders, who ranked 31st in net yards per pass attempt and 32nd in total yards allowed last season. Washington added Amik Robertson, Fabian Moreau, and Rasul Douglas to its cornerback room in free agency but could afford to take a flier on its former divisional foe.

CB Kenny Moore II

The Indianapolis Colts and Kenny Moore II agreed to mutually work on a trade early in the offseason. After weeks of failing to find a trade partner, the Colts opted to release the cornerback instead.

Given the lack of trade interest, Moore can only expect modest offers at this point. A team that signs him to a team-friendly contract, however, could get a big bargain. Moore will turn 31 later this month and made just seven starts last season, but he also allowed an opposing passer rating of just 87.8 in coverage in 2025.

He would be a sensible target for Dallas, given its interest in adding cornerback depth. He'd also be a good fit as a depth piece with the San Francisco 49ers.

New 49ers defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus previously coached Moore as the Colts' defensive coordinator.

OT Cam Robinson

Offensive tackle Cam Robinson signed a one-year, $12 million deal with the Texans last offseason. However, he was traded to Cleveland in-season and didn't perform particularly well with either franchise.

Pro Football Focus graded Robinson 83rd overall among offensive tackles in 2025.

Due to his performance last season, Robinson can likely be had at a fraction of his 2025 salary. He may also be more valuable as a depth piece than an expected starter.

That said, Robinson does have 114 starts on his resume and is still only 30 years old. He'd be a terrific insurance option for a playoff hopeful with questionable depth at left tackle.

The Commanders may believe that Brandon Coleman can replace Tunsil, but adding Robinson couldn't hurt. Given the importance of protecting Joe Burrow, the Cincinnati Bengals should also consider Robinson as a Plan B behind Orlando Brown Jr.

TE Jonnu Smith

Tight end Jonnu Smith had a Pro Bowl campaign with the Miami Dolphins in 2024 but was far less effective with the Pittsburgh Steelers this past season. He caught just 32 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns while sharing reps with Darnell Washington and Pat Freiermuth.

The Steelers released Smith after one year.

While the 31-year-old is unlikely to replicate his 2024 production (884 yards, 8 TDs), he'd be a terrific insurance policy for a pass-heavy team with injury concerns at the tight end position.

The 49ers could partner Smith with Jake Tonges as George Kittle continues to work his way back from a torn Achilles. The Lions could use a pass-catching move tight end behind Sam LaPorta, who is dealing with a hip injury.

According to ESPN's Eric Woodyard, LaPorta's status for Week 1 is unclear.

Edge Haason Reddick

Haason Reddick is another edge-defender who should garner interest with Clowney, Smith and Miller off the board—Joey Bosa is also unsigned but appears to be leaning toward retirement.

"It is more likely than not that Joey Bosa has played his last NFL down," ESPN's Adam Schefter said on his podcast in July (h/t ProFootballTalk's Josh Alper).

Reddick had just 2.5 sacks with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season and had just one sack in 10 games with the Jets the previous season. After two disappointing years, he's probably looking at a bargain contract in late free agency. However, he logged 11 sacks with the Eagles in 2023.

A contract dispute led the Eagles to trade Reddick to the Jets in 2024. A reunion would make sense, as Jonathan Greenard is now dealing with a pectoral injury and could miss the start of the regular season.

Reddick could also be an option for the Browns, who were "hopeful" about signing Clowney before losing both him and Smith to other teams in free agency.

LB Bobby Wagner

Linebacker Bobby Wagner turned 36 in June, but if he wants to start this season, he should find multiple opportunities. The reigning Walter Payton Man of the Year started all 17 games for the Commanders last season and finished with 162 tackles, 4.5 sacks, eight tackles for loss, and two interceptions.

Even if Wagner matches last year's $9 million salary, he'll be a relative bargain if he can produce similar numbers.

Landing with a Super Bowl contender would make the most sense at this stage in Wagner's career. The Denver Broncos are expected to be that, and they could certainly use an off-ball linebacker.

Justin Strnad is a solid starter, but Alex Singleton has been a liability against the pass, and Denver lacks depth behind those two at inside linebacker.

The Cowboys may not be viewed as title contenders, but they have an improved defense, could use help at the second level, and have a Wagner fan in head coach Brian Schottenheimer—who spent time with the future Hall of Famer in Seattle.

"You're looking at one of the biggest Bobby Wagner fans in the world," Schottenheimer told Kay Adams of Up & Adams in March. "...I love that guy."

G Kevin Zeitler

Guard Kevin Zeitler has largely been a reliable starter throughout his 14-year career. He was arguably the Tennessee Titans' most dependable lineman last season, earning a 13th-place overall grade among guards from Pro Football Focus.

Zeitler is still a starting-caliber lineman who can help either a contender or a rebuilding team. At 36 years old, though, he isn't going to be a long-term option and should be available on a modest one-year deal.

The Chargers could consider bringing in Zeitler to help bolster the depth of an offensive interior that was decimated by injuries in 2025 and recently lost center Tyler Biadasz to an ACL injury.

Zeitler would also make sense as insurance for New York Giants rookie guard Francis Mauigoa. He spent three seasons, including his lone Pro Bowl campaign, playing for the Baltimore Ravens and John Harbaugh, who is now New York's head coach.
