Team Moves: Who’s Still Free and Where They Might Fit

Free‑agency starts with big names dreaming of a scramble, but the first three days often leave only a few hot spots. Some players who were expected to jump between multiple teams are instead waiting for the right offer, and the market shifts from player to team quickly. Even with a few marquee names gone early, plenty of solid talent remains on the field for 2026. Kirk Cousins is still available because Atlanta didn’t cut him until the new league year began. A veteran with a high career total, he’s now looking for a role that fits his play‑action strengths. The Packers need a reliable backup after losing Malik Willis, and Cousins could fit nicely behind Jordan Love. For teams chasing a championship, a backup role with the Steelers or Browns might be more realistic. Brian Robinson Jr. , a traditional power back, left free agency because he isn’t a versatile pass‑catcher or protector. His best moments came with the 49ers, where he ran well and didn’t fumble. Seattle needs a steady hand after losing Kenneth Walker III, so Robinson could step into that rotation. Jauan Jennings, a tough 6‑foot‑3 receiver who thrives on third downs, is still free because he’s past the age many teams pay a premium for. His durability and contested‑catch ability make him a good fit for the Raiders, who are building a new offense under Klint Kubiak and need help at wide.Deebo Samuel, the 30‑year‑old who excels in yards‑after‑catch, is still on the market due to injury and a decline in yardage. Denver’s offense could use his physicality, especially for short‑yardage plays, and he would add depth to an already crowded receiver room. David Njoku’s injuries have lowered his production, but he still offers a solid blocking option. Baltimore lost key tight ends and could use Njoku as the second‑string back to Mark Andrews, giving him a chance to prove himself. Rasheed Walker’s contract size and timing left him free, even though he performed well at left tackle. Detroit needs a reliable left hand after releasing Taylor Decker and could offer Walker a chance to stay in the league on a one‑year deal. Jawaan Taylor’s penalty problems keep him off many teams’ radars, but his pass‑blocking ability remains solid. Indianapolis is looking to protect Daniel Jones and could add Taylor as a dependable option on the line. Wyatt Teller, once a Pro‑Bowl guard, is aging and has missed time due to injuries. The Giants need a right‑hand guard to protect Jaxson Dart and could bring in Teller as a short‑term, physical presence. Joey Bosa’s recent injuries and lack of pass‑rush impact have put him on the market. The Bills signed a new pass rush specialist, making Bosa’s future in Buffalo unlikely; he may find a situational role elsewhere. The free‑agency landscape shows that while star names can attract early bids, many solid players remain available and can fill specific needs for teams looking to balance experience with potential.
