2026 NFL FREE AGENCY: Top 10 Best Remaining Players

(2:00) Before the guys dive into the Top 10, they discuss the Miami Dolphins decision to trade wide receiver Jaylen Waddle to Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos. New Miami head coach Jeff Hafley and Dolphins GM Jon-Erik Sullivan have had an eventful offseason and now have a huge $175 million dead money charge for the 2026 season. They will be in the Arch Manning sweepstakes for the No. 1 pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.

(5:00): Former New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs proved in 2025 that he still can be a productive player. Diggs was a huge help for quarterback Drake Maye en route to New England’s run to the Super Bowl. Could he be that same kind of asset for a team with a promising young signal caller like the Las Vegas Raiders and Fernando Mendoza? Would Tom Brady and Klint Kubiak bring Diggs in? Or maybe the Washington Commanders could fill the void left by Deebo Samuel and give Jayden Daniels some more help? Interested teams are likely in a wait-and-see after Diggs pled not guilty to an alleged assault on his personal chef. Will the NFL levy a punishment for violating the personal conduct policy?

(6:30): The San Francisco 49ers and Kyle Shanahan’s decision to sign former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans in free agency closed the door for a reunion with Jauan Jennings. But Jennings showed that he can be a highly productive contributor. Will a team looking for a No. 2 wideout (like the Philadelphia Eagles if A.J. Brown is traded) come knocking on Jennings’ door?

(8:00): Former Cleveland Browns Pro Bowl guard Joe Bitonio has 178 career starts and will be 34 before the 2026 season kicks off, but he still has plenty of tread left on his tires. Botonio allowed just two sacks in 2025.

(8:30): Pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney shows no signs of slowing down at age 33. Clowney had 8.5 sacks in 13 games for the Dallas Cowboys last season, including three against the New York Giants and Jaxson Dart in Week 18. Could he go back to the Baltimore Ravens and pair up with free-agent addition Trey Hendrickson? Or maybe Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman gives defensive coordinator Vic Fangio some pass rush help after Jaelan Phillips signed with the Carolina Panthers in free agency.

(10:30): Is Deebo Samuel done? Is he too slow and too old? Well, Samuel had 72 catches and five touchdowns for the Washington Commanders last season. And he still showed off his yards after the catch prowess.

(11:50): Former Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku missed a fair amount of games due to injury the past two seasons and struggled amid the Browns revolving door at quarterback that included Joe Flacco, Shadeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel. But the 30-year-old could be a sneaky good addition in the right environment.

(13:45): Former Chargers offensive lineman Mekhi Becton couldn’t wait to get out of Los Angeles after one miserable season trying to protect Justin Herbert. Becton, the former New York Jets first-round pick, flourished transitioning from offensive tackle to guard with the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles in 2024. He was a terrible fit for the Greg Roman, but would be a steal in the right system. Would a reunion in Philly make sense?

(15:00): Pass rusher Joey Bosa isn’t the game-wrecking force that he used to be, but the former Pro Bowler showed plenty of flashed as a situational pass rusher with the Buffalo Bills in 2025. Bosa has stayed relatively healthy the past two seasons, too.

(17:15): Will Aaron Rodgers reunion with new Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy or just retire? Rodgers proved to be a solid quarterback last season to help Mike Tomlin & Co. make the playoffs in 2025.

(19:30): Left tackle Taylor Decker asked for his release from the Detroit Lions, but made it clear that he isn’t retiring. Jared Goff’s blindside protector is as tough as they come and would be a great addition in the second wave of free agency.
