an assault charge.<\/a><\/p>\nWhy does he keep getting chances? Seven consecutive 1,000-yard seasons when he plays at least nine games.<\/p>\n
The Rams might not have added a single 2026 contributor during the draft.<\/p>\n

2. WR Jauan Jennings<\/strong><\/p>\nFits:<\/strong> Dolphins, Raiders, Commanders, Vikings<\/p>\nWord is that Jennings, 28, overpriced himself in a market where five receivers secured at least $14 million per year, including his 49ers replacement Mike Evans. A physical run blocker, Jennings totaled 55 catches for 643 yards and nine touchdowns in 15 games.<\/p>\n
Jennings already is visiting the Vikings, the Raiders didn\u2019t draft a pass catcher for No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza until the sixth round, and the Commanders need a No. 2 receiver.<\/p>\n
3. LT Taylor Decker<\/strong><\/p>\nFits: <\/strong>Bears, Chiefs, Cardinals<\/p>\nDecker, 32, asked for his release during a contract dispute after 10 seasons in Detroit. He has played at least 14 games in each of the past four seasons.<\/p>\n
Is he willing to be a swing tackle? Or compete to start? Or move to the right side? Or does he take a r\u00e9sum\u00e9-speaks-for-itself approach?<\/p>\n
The best fit might be a reunion with Bears head coach Ben Johnson, his former offensive coordinator dealing with an injury to left tackle Ozzy Trapilo.<\/p>\n

4. Edge Cameron Jordan<\/strong><\/p>\nFits: <\/strong>Saints, Bears, Chiefs, Rams<\/p>\nThe Saints just traded for Tyree Wilson, but that shouldn\u2019t end the possibility of re-signing their icon. Jordan, 36, has 132 career sacks, including a renaissance 10.5 last season.<\/p>\n
The Bears ranked No. 31 in pass rush win rate last season and didn\u2019t use a draft pick on an edge. Maybe defensive coordinator Dennis Allen (former Saints head coach) lures Jordan.<\/p>\n
Jordan has a future in broadcasting after the NFL, so could he desire a head start in the Los Angeles market?<\/p>\n
5. Edge Joey Bosa<\/strong><\/p>\nFits: <\/strong>Colts, Seahawks, Jaguars, Titans<\/p>\nWelcome to the mercenary stage of your career, Joey. You\u2019ll find Jadeveon Clowney over there.<\/p>\n
Bosa, 30, had five sacks and an NFL-best five forced fumbles last season for the Bills.<\/p>\n
Is he seeking a contender who might view him as an over-the-top piece? Or the familiarity of Titans defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, who coached him for four seasons with the Chargers?<\/p>\n
6. WR Deebo Samuel Sr.<\/strong><\/p>\nFits: <\/strong>Rams, Chiefs, Colts, Raiders<\/p>\nAfter it looked like his body was breaking down with the 49ers, Samuel made 72 catches for 727 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games for the Commanders.<\/p>\n
Samuel, 31, wasn\u2019t used nearly as frequently as a rusher (17 carries) but remains one of the NFL\u2019s most versatile weapons, so just think what a play-caller like Sean McVay or Andy Reid could scheme up.<\/p>\n
The Chiefs (fifth round) and Colts (seventh) waited until Day 3 to pick a receiver.<\/p>\n
7. DT Calais Campbell<\/strong><\/p>\nFits: <\/strong>Giants, Ravens, Bears, Patriots, Bills<\/p>\nDoes he want to retire? Or does he want to play past his 40th birthday?<\/p>\n
Campbell \u2014 an all-time high-character presence \u2014 still has something left in the tank. He has started all 51 games over the past three seasons (for three different teams) and managed 18 sacks.<\/p>\n
The Cardinals are in \u201cwait-and-see mode\u201d about Campbell returning, but it makes more sense for him to come full circle. He was in the Super Bowl (and lost) as a rookie in 2009.<\/p>\n
The Giants have a significant need at defensive tackle but seem zeroed in on D.J. Reader, who just missed the cut for this list.<\/p>\n

8. LB Bobby Wagner<\/strong><\/p>\nFits:<\/strong> Bengals, Cowboys, Commanders, Bills<\/p>\nThe door isn\u2019t totally closed on a return to the Commanders, who drafted Sonny Styles in the first round.<\/p>\n
A Wagner-Cowboys pairing has long been rumored.<\/p>\n
But Wagner, 35, could have the biggest on-field impact \u2014 not just as a leader \u2014 roaming behind newly acquired double-team-eating Dexter Lawrence with the Bengals.<\/p>\n
Wagner notched 162 tackles last season, after making his 10th career Pro Bowl in 2024.<\/p>\n
9. TE David Njoku<\/strong><\/p>\nFits:<\/strong> Panthers, Broncos, Chargers, Buccaneers<\/p>\nJust two years removed from career highs of 81 catches for 882 yards, Njoku\u2019s numbers fell to 33 for 293 in 12 games last season.<\/p>\n
A historic draft run on tight ends \u2014 eight in the second and third rounds alone \u2014 means a lot of jobs dried up.<\/p>\n
The Panthers have the most pressing need for a 29-year-old starter.<\/p>\n

10. G Kevin Zeitler<\/strong><\/p>\nFits:<\/strong> Titans, Ravens, Dolphins<\/p>\nJoel Bitonio is a better guard, but if he doesn\u2019t retire it seems that he is headed back to the Browns.<\/p>\n
Zeitler, 36, primarily plays right guard but has expressed a willingness to play center, and one of the biggest holes for a contender across the league is the Ravens\u2019 center position (after All-Pro Tyler Linderbaum\u2019s departure). Zeitler was in Baltimore from 2021-23.<\/p>\n
Bonus: QB Aaron Rodgers<\/strong><\/p>\nFits: <\/strong>Steelers<\/p>\nRodgers, 42, would\u2019ve been No. 1 before Tuesday, when the Steelers placed an unrestricted free agent tender on him \u2014 essentially narrowing his choices to return to start for the Steelers or retire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to NFL Free Agency, Part II.
