NFL Free Agents: Who's Still Available?

As the 2026 NFL season approaches, notable free agents like Jimmy Garoppolo and Stefon Diggs are still without teams. Garoppolo, contrary to earlier reports, has decided against retirement and is awaiting the right opportunity to return to play football. He is not expected to sign imminently but could be a target if a team needs a veteran quarterback due to injury.

Wide receiver Stefon Diggs is also a prominent unsigned player. Coming off a season where he achieved over a thousand receiving yards, Diggs is reportedly open to playing as a No. 2 receiver, believing he's still superior to most other teams' second options. His continued production and sound knee make him a desirable acquisition for teams needing depth at receiver.

Jadeveon Clowney, who recorded 8.5 sacks with the Cowboys last year, is also a free agent. Despite his productivity, he is reportedly seeking a contract that meets his established value. Momentum is building, with four teams reportedly vying for his services, suggesting a signing could occur soon.

Separately, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk remains under contract with the 49ers but faces a complex situation. He is expected to be released rather than traded and must apply for reinstatement. Aiyuk's market value may be impacted by his public desire to join the Washington Commanders and his ongoing absence from team activities, coupled with concerns about a significant knee injury and lack of recent rehabilitation.
