Undrafted NFL Free Agents 2018: Latest Details on the Biggest Signings

There were 256 players drafted over the last three days in Arlington, Texas. These are not among them.

As soon as SMU receiver Trey Quinn had his name called as 2018's Mr. Irrelevant, teams went to work scooping up the players they deemed not quite worthy of selection.

In some cases, not being selected is a blessing in disguise. Many of the top undrafted free agents will have their pick of where to play, which can often put them in a better situation than being a seventh-round pick who winds up buried on a depth chart.

Recently retired players such as Tony Romo and James Harrison didn't hear their names called. Antonio Gates, who remains a free agent but is yet to retire, became one of the best receiving tight ends in NFL history after going undrafted.

Here's a look at where all the top UDFAs went. This article will be updated as players sign.
