Best NFL Free Agents Available as of 7/6/2026

Free agency is slow right now, but it’s certainly not over. Plenty of impactful players are there for the taking, and they should all be signed once they find the right fit and acceptable contracts. June 1 has also passed, so new signings no longer impact a team’s compensatory draft pick formula. I thought we’d reassess the free agency landscape and see who’s still out there. No QBs and RBs are exciting, and defensive options are limited. WR is the strongest position, with the OL being surprisingly deep. Now then; here are the 10 best NFL free agents that are still available as of 7/6/2026 (in no particular order, but offense first)!

WR Stefon Diggs

Diggs is quite the conundrum. He produces for every team that acquires him, yet he inevitably ends up leaving. New England seemed like a great match last season. Diggs returned from a torn ACL and posted a 1000-yard campaign while helping QB Drake Maye ascend to stardom. Contractually, it made sense to cut him, but I thought for sure he’d be re-signed on a different deal. Yet he remains unsigned. If a team can deal with Diggs’ quirks, they could obtain a WR1-quality player or a WR2 at worst. He isn’t at his peak at age 32, but he showed he has plenty to offer a team. Even if it’ll likely be a 1-year agreement.

WR Deebo Samuel

The major punishment taken throughout Samuel’s career has perhaps caused him to “age” a bit more quickly than his peers. As the progenitor of the “wideback” position, which has very few members, Samuel basically ran like an RB in a WR’s body. He’s well built, but RBs are known as players with short shelf lives for a reason. Still, he doesn’t seem washed up to me. Samuel likely caught lightning in a bottle in 2021, with his true value being as a WR2 and all-purpose weapon. He suffers injuries from time to time but doesn’t miss too many games. I’d like to see him latch on with a team whose OC can get him the ball in space.

WR Tyreek Hill

I’ve seen almost nobody talk about Hill, a perennial Pro Bowl and All-Pro WR for the Chiefs and Dolphins. He became a forgotten after he shredded his knee last year, and his numbers began to decline as the whole Miami offense fizzled out. We don’t know when he’ll return to the field (week 1 isn’t an impossibility), and Hill’s age (32) and health status only make him a fit for a contender at this point. Should he return to full strength though, he’d be a game-breaking speedster who takes the top off defenses. Could you imagine him with a team like the Rams or Chargers with their strong-armed signal callers?

LT Taylor Decker

Injuries hampered Decker’s effectiveness with Detroit last year, and a subsequent contract dispute led to a breakup between him and the only pro team he has known. That shouldn’t cloud the fact that Decker has been an above-average LT for the vast majority of his career. Actually, he was good enough that Penei Sewell moved to RT as a rookie rather than shift Decker from his position. Blind-side protectors are often second to QBs in rankings of the most important NFL positions. One as good as Decker whose only drop-off came from injuries should be in high demand. Maybe he just wants to skip the preseason before signing.

G Kevin Zeitler

Perhaps no longer elite but still very good, the 36-year-old Zeitler had his worst season on a bad Titans team in 2025. He was still average, but any down year at his age is viewed as decline. I see it as more of a blip given that Zeitler didn’t look appreciably worse on the field. The circumstances just changed. He was one of the league’s best guards two years ago, and he could return to that status for at least the short term. Every team needs offensive line depth, but I can name quite a few who need starters. Zeitler would be an upgrade for most of those squads, but he probably doesn’t belong as part of a rebuilding project.

DE Joey Bosa

The one season Bosa stays mostly healthy is the one where he lacks free agent interest? Bosa’s main problem throughout his career has been injuries, not ability. His lack of availability forced him to sign a 1-year prove-it deal with Buffalo last year, and I thought he did fine. Bosa has a career-high 5 FFs to go along with 5 sacks and good run defense. He’s not durable enough to be an every-snap guy, but rotational edge rushers are all the rage after the Eagles and Seahawks used waves of pass rushers to win the past two Super Bowls. Don’t expect a full complement of snaps from Bosa, but he’s still plenty useful.

OLB Leonard Floyd

Floyd is not a name I’m hearing too much after a down 2025 campaign. His age-33 season with the Falcons produced just 3.5 sacks. However, Floyd earned 8.5+ each sacks for the Rams, Bills, and 49ers in the three years prior. The man is not scheme-dependent, so I’m more inclined to blame Atlanta for his lack of success there. As a designated pass rusher, Floyd is an excellent finisher. His rates of converting pressures into sacks seem fluky, but after doing it for so many years, that’s just who he is. Many of the bargains late in free agency fit best with contenders, and Floyd is an example of that. He’s still got juice.

LB Bobby Wagner

A future Hall of Famer is available and nobody appears to be rushing to sign him. Wagner is not the same coverage player that he once was, but he can still do many things well. He’s not inept in space even at 36, and he remains a tackling machine. Over the past few years, he has leaned a bit into pass rushing so that he can stay around the line of scrimmage, particularly on third downs. One skill he’ll never lose is his leadership. Wagner makes everyone else better by getting them into the right spots, and he’s almost a coach on the field with his football IQ. I’d guess that he’s searching for his best shot at another ring.

CB Trevon Diggs

I love a good buy-low opportunity. Diggs burst onto the scene as an elite ball hawker. He took some risks that got him burned at times, but his athleticism usually didn’t let him pay too much for his mistakes. Over his final couple of years in Dallas, injuries really ruined him. As soon as his guarantees ran out, the Cowboys released him. Green Bay claimed Diggs but only played him in 1 game before cutting him themselves. He has remained unsigned since then. At 27, Diggs isn’t in his decline phase at all. Once he’s fully healthy, there’s a good chance that he’ll return to at least above-average play. Any team could use that type of CB.

CB Kenny Moore

Moore represents a very interesting case. He was an exceptional slot CB for the Colts, but the arrival of DC Lou Anarumo last year hurt him. The new scheme didn’t fit Moore, and his playing time drastically decreased. He asked for a trade, but when Indy couldn’t find one, they released him. Moore’s biggest issue is that he can’t play outside CB at 5’9″ and 31 years old. That’s still younger than many FAs who still available, and slot corners age a bit more gracefully. Moore fits best in a 4-3 scheme that plays a good amount of Cover 3. With that in mind, the Seahawks are a very intriguing potential destination to me.
