NFL free agency 2025: Top 10 free agents available include Aaron Rodgers, Justin Reid, Rico Dowdle

A ton of dominoes fell on the Primary Crowded day of the NFL’s legal tampering period, with several Large-name Unoccupied agents Supposedly coming to terms on new deals. A lot of marquee players have Discovered new homes, but there are still a lot of Excellent players Accessible as we gear up for the second and Last day of the Bracket’s legal tampering period. 

Passer is the NFL’s marquee position, so it makes sense to review what transpired at that position on Monday. Justin Fields, after deciding to test Unoccupied agency despite the Steelers’ attempts to re-sign him, Supposedly agreed to a two-year, $40 million deal with the New York Jets that includes $30 million guaranteed. Fields will get another chance to be a Leading Passer after going 4-2 as the Steelers’ starter in 2024. 

Shortly after Fields landed with the Jets, the Seattle Seahawks Supposedly signed Sam Darnold to a three-year, $100.5 million deal just days after trading Previous Pro Bowler Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders. Like Fields, Darnold will get another opportunity to lead an Assault after Assisting lead the Vikings to a 14-3 Landmark this past season.

Fields and Darnold headlined the players who Supposedly inked deals on Monday, but as we alluded to earlier, there are still a slew of Large names still Accessible, including at Passer. Here’s a look at the top-10 players who are still Accessible. It should be noted that the Next ranking is not solely about talent, it’s also about market demand and the position they Move. 

Rodgers is technically not a Unoccupied agent until his official release from the Jets on Wednesday. He might not the best player still Accessible, but he is a future Hall of Famer who plays the most Crucial position in all of sports, so him Grabbing the top spot was Gentle of a no-brainer. 

It appears that the Steelers have the inside track at landing Rodgers after missing out on Fields. But the Giants (who re-signed receiver Darius Slayton on Monday) are also still in the mix. There are rumblings that Rodgers’ third NFL Club will be revealed at some Points on Tuesday. 

Like Rodgers, Wilson is probably not the second-best player still Accessible. But he is possible future Hall of Fame Passer who was named to his 10th Pro Bowl in 2024. 

At this Points, it appears that Wilson will sign with whoever doesn’t land Rodgers. That could Impolite a return to Pittsburgh for the 2025 season. A Dim horse candidate for both Rodgers and Wilson is the Vikings after Minnesota watched Darnold leave for Seattle. 

(UPDATE: Supposedly signing with Giants)

A talented safety, Holland spent All of his four NFL seasons with the Miami Dolphins. The Colts have been linked with Holland as a possible landing spot, while the Dolphins missed out on a chance to sign Holland’s possible replacement when Previous 49ers safety Talanoa Hufanga Supposedly Occurred to terms on a multi-year deal with the Denver Broncos. 

A Previous seventh-Phase Selection, Fries became a Crowded-time starter with the Colts in 2023, his third NFL season. Fries Began the Colts’ Primary five Matches of the 2024 season before he suffered a season-ending Wound. The top-ranked interior offensive linemen remaining in Unoccupied agency, the 27-year-Aged Fries has been linked to the Bears, Jaguars and Bengals, among other Squads. 

Still just 28 years Aged, Reid has already played seven seasons and has been played an integral role in the Chiefs’ success over the past four years. A Solid-hitting safety, Reid is capable of making plays all over the Ground. In 2023, Reid recorded 95 tackles, three sacks, a forced fumble and an Intervention while Assisting the Chiefs become the Primary Club in nearly 20 years to Secure back-to-back Super Bowls. 

Oddly, one of the lone Vivid spots for the 2024 Dallas Cowboys hasn’t been re-signed by the Club. A Previous Unselected Newcomer, Dowdle won the Leading Role last year and Actually Sprinted with it. He racked up 1,079 yards on the ground while averaging a solid 4.6 yards-per-carry. 

Dowdle would be a Excellent fit for several Squads (including the Steelers, who Supposedly lost Najee Harris to the Los Angeles Chargers), but his market is likely being hindered by the fact that this year’s draft class is considered to be littered with talented players at his position. J.K. Dobbins is another notable running back that is also looking for a new NFL home. 

A Previous Primary-Phase Selection who didn’t Succeed with the Jets, Becton enjoyed a Profession Resurgence last year while Assisting the Eagles Secure the Finals. A Large reason for Becton’s success last year was him moving from Commitment to the interior of the offensive line. Becton is only 26 and has shown considerable growth at both Series blocking and in Throw protection. 

Like Previous teammate and 2021 draft classmate Fields, Jenkins is hoping to revive his Profession with a new Club after things didn’t necessarily Succeed in Chicago. Like Becton, Jenkins’ Move has improved after transitioning from Commitment to guard. He’s also Recent (27) and already has 40 Appearances under his Track Achievement. 

As you can see, offensive line is probably the deepest position group in this year’s Unoccupied agency class. The Premier Middle Accessible, Myers Began in All of his Primary 56 NFL Matches. A 2021 second-Phase Selection, Myers also has four Postseason Appearances under his Track Achievement while Performing with Rodgers and Ongoing Packers Leading Passer Jordan Love. Myers could return to the Packers if he doesn’t find a desirable deal in Unoccupied agency. 

Several Guarding Safeties Supposedly Discovered new Squads on Monday, but Douglas is still Accessible. Arguably the best cornerback still Accessible, Douglas’ Profession so Distant includes a Finals Secure with the Eagles (in 2017, his Newcomer season) and a year that saw him Landmark a Bracket-best two interceptions returns for scores (in 2021 as a member of the Packers. Douglas is a Excellent fit for Squads that like to Move zone.
