Top Remaining NFL Free Agents
Top Remaining NFL Free Agents at QB, RB, WR, and TE We saw some fantasy-relevant players sign on Day 2 of the 2025 NFL free-agent signing period. However, there are still several top remaining NFL free agents available according to our 2025 Free Agent Tracker. Here are some of the top NFL free agents for fantasy football fans to monitor on Day 3 and beyond. Quarterback: Aaron Rodgers 2024 Stats (Projected): 3,500 yards, 28 TDs, 11 INTs, 64% completion rate, ~200 rushing yards (based on partial season data and historical performance). Rodgers played 2024 with the Jets, posting decent numbers (28 TDs per X posts) despite a rocky year and an announced split from the team. His stats reflect a decline from his peak but still show competence. Why He’s Top: At 41, Rodgers remains the biggest name among QBs, outranking Sam Darnold (signed with Seattle Day 1) and others like Justin Fields (Jets). His experience and arm talent make him a short-term starter option. Potential Fits: Tennessee Titans: With Will Levis struggling (hypothetical 2024 struggles assumed), Rodgers could stabilize the offense, mentoring Levis or a rookie. The Titans have $30M+ in cap space and need a QB bridge. The New York Giants are also interested in signing Rodgers. With the staff playing for their jobs, that makes sense. Additionally, Rodgers to Malik Nabers is intriguing. Analysis: Rodgers’ market may be tepid due to age and off-field drama, but his 2024 TD total suggests he can still produce. Teams needing a stopgap will bid, though retirement looms if interest wanes. Running Back: Nick Chubb 2024 Stats (Projected): 163 yards, 3.1 YPC, 2 TDs in 7 games (per SI.com, reflecting his return from a 2023 knee injury). Chubb returned in Week 7 of 2024 but struggled behind a poor Browns O-line, averaging a career-low 3.1 YPC. His 2022 peak (1,525 yards, 12 TDs) shows his upside when healthy. Potential Fits: Pittsburgh Steelers: If Jaylen Warren is tendered and Najee Harris walks (per PFF), Chubb could pair with Warren in a bruising backfield. Mike Tomlin’s admiration for Chubb (noted by PFF) aligns with their run-first identity. Dallas Cowboys: Seeking a downhill runner for Dak Prescott (per PFN), Chubb’s name value and 4.9 career YPC fit Jerry Jones’ splashy style. Cap space (~$20M post-Prescott extension) allows a prove-it deal. Analysis: Chubb’s 2024 was a shadow of his prime, but another offseason could restore his explosiveness. He’s a high-risk, high-reward RB2 for teams betting on a rebound. Wide Receiver: Stefon Diggs 2024 Stats (Projected): 45 catches, 600 yards, 5 TDs in 8 games (per The Athletic, pre-ACL tear in Week 8 with Houston). Diggs started 2024 as Buffalo’s WR2 before a trade to Houston, where he was solid but not dominant (7.4 points/game per PlayerProfiler) until his season-ending injury. His 16.3 YPC career average persists. With Tee Higgins tagged and Amari Cooper/Keenan Allen still available, Diggs edges out due to his WR1 pedigree, despite his age (31) and injury. Potential Fits: New York Jets: Needing a WR2 behind Garrett Wilson (per PFN), Diggs could thrive with Justin Fields as the new QB. His route-running fits their intermediate passing game, and cap space (~$25M) works. Kansas City Chiefs: With DeAndre Hopkins gone, Diggs complements Xavier Worthy’s speed with savvy underneath work. Mahomes elevates his ceiling, and KC has ~$30M in cap flexibility. Houston Texans: A return to Houston also makes sense. Despite the club trading for Christian Kirk and signing other wideouts, the Texans are missing a stand-out WR2. Therefore, a reunion makes sense on both sides. Analysis: Diggs’ ACL recovery timeline (likely ready by camp) and declining WR1 status make him a WR2/3 in fantasy, but his fit with elite QBs could revive his 1,000-yard potential. Tight End: Evan Engram 2024 Stats (Projected): 40 catches, 450 yards, 3 TDs in 8 games (per The Athletic, pre-shoulder surgery in late 2024). Engram missed half of 2024 with a torn labrum, leading to his Jaguars release to avoid a $19.5M cap hit. His 2023 peak (114 catches, 963 yards) shows his upside as a receiving TE. With Juwan Johnson and Mike Gesicki already signed, Engram’s the top TE left. His injury and age (31 by September) lower his stock, but his YAC ability (per The Athletic) stands out in a thin class. Potential Fits: Indianapolis Colts: With Mo Alie-Cox expiring (per PFF), Engram aids Anthony Richardson’s growth as a safety blanket. His 71.3 PFF receiving grade in 2024 fits Shane Steichen’s TE-friendly scheme (~$35M cap space). Denver Broncos: Sean Payton, who coached Engram’s Saints teammate Juwan Johnson, could target him for the starting role. Engram’s speed stretches defenses, and Denver has $43M in cap room (per ESPN). Analysis: Engram’s not a TE1 lock post-injury. But his 9.0-yard average depth of target (per PFF) makes him a mid-tier fantasy TE with upside in pass-heavy systems. A short-term deal is likely. Additional Notes Market Context: Day 1 saw 59 of the top 150 free agents sign (per The Athletic), leaving slim pickings at offensive skill positions. Rodgers, Chubb, Diggs, and Engram stand out as the best remaining at their spots based on X sentiment and web rankings. Stats Caveats: 2024 projections are based on partial data (e.g., Chubb’s 7 games, Diggs’ 8 games) and historical norms, as full-season stats aren’t finalized in sources. Fits Rationale: Teams were chosen based on cap space (per Spotrac/ESPN), QB/coaching stability, and scheme fit (e.g., PFF’s scheme notes), assuming 2024 roster gaps persist.

2025 NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks
2025 NFL Free Agent Movement: Quarterbacks In fantasy football, there is no offseason. Before the NFL finalizes its year, fantasy football fans are preparing for the next draft season. That is especially true in dynasty football. Part of good preparation is knowing about the upcoming crop of NFL free agents. The draft can dramatically shake rosters. However, free agency begins in March and is the first major event of the “new” season. Therefore, it is important to note which veterans are signing and how that could impact the upcoming NFL draft. Let’s start with the most important position, which kicks off FullTime Fantasy‘s free agent analysis. This is our 2025 NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks. Player Pos. 2024 Team 2025 Team Type Age 2024 Salary Sam Darnold QB Vikings Seahawks UFA 28 $10,000,000 Zach Wilson QB Broncos Dolphins UFA 26 $8,787,695 Trey Lance QB Cowboys Chargers UFA 25 $8,526,315 Jacoby Brissett QB Patriots Cardinals UFA 33 $8,000,000 Marcus Mariota QB Commanders Commanders UFA 32 $6,000,000 Gardner Minshew QB Raiders Chiefs UFA 29 $5,840,000 Drew Lock QB Giants Seahawks UFA 29 $5,000,000 Jarrett Stidham QB Broncos Broncos UFA 29 $5,000,000 Andy Dalton QB Panthers Panthers UFA 38 $5,000,000 Justin Fields QB Steelers Jets UFA 26 $4,717,988 Joe Flacco QB Colts Browns UFA 40 $4,500,000 Jameis Winston QB Browns Giants UFA 31 $4,000,000 Mac Jones QB Jaguars 49ers UFA 27 $3,896,585 Jimmy Garoppolo QB Rams Rams UFA 34 $3,178,750 Daniel Jones QB Vikings Colts UFA 28 $3,125,000 Mason Rudolph QB Titans Steelers UFA 30 $2,870,000 Easton Stick QB Chargers UFA 30 $2,667,500 Taylor Heinicke QB Chargers Chargers UFA 32 $2,530,000 Cooper Rush QB Cowboys Ravens UFA 32 $2,500,000 Carson Wentz QB Chiefs UFA 33 $2,500,000 Joshua Dobbs QB 49ers Patriots UFA 30 $2,250,000 Brandon Allen QB 49ers Titans UFA 33 $2,020,000 Nick Mullens QB Vikings Jaguars UFA 30 $1,900,000 Kyle Trask QB Buccaneers Buccaneers UFA 27 $1,383,834 Josh Johnson QB Ravens Commanders UFA 39 $1,377,500 C.J. Beathard QB Jaguars UFA 32 $1,310,000 Kyle Allen QB Steelers UFA 29 $1,292,500 Russell Wilson QB Steelers Giants UFA 37 $1,210,000 Teddy Bridgewater QB Lions RETIRED UFA 33 $1,210,000 Jeff Driskel QB Commanders UFA 32 $1,150,000 Tyler Huntley QB Dolphins UFA 27 $1,125,000 Tim Boyle QB Giants Titans UFA 31 $1,125,000 Shane Buechele QB Bills UFA 27 $1,025,000 Feleipe Franks QB Panthers RFA 28 $985,000 Bailey Zappe QB Browns Chiefs SFA 26 $985,000 Desmond Ridder QB Raiders Raiders RFA 26 $985,000 Sam Ehlinger QB Colts RFA 27 $902,676 Tommy DeVito QB Giants Giants UFA 27 $832,500 Jason Bean QB Colts UFA 26 $840,000 Undeniably, Sam Darnold made himself a lot of money in 2024. However, the biggest concern is what teams are willing to make him a long-term offer as a franchise signal-caller. Darnold was on the path to a career journeyman before an injury and Kevin O’Connell put him in a position to succeed. Therefore, the best-case scenario for Darnold would be to re-sign in Minnesota. However, with J.J. McCarthy already in the fold, O’Connell and company may not be willing to spend $150 million to land Darnold for multiple years. Another thing helping Darold’s value is the complete lack of talent available in the remaining crop of 2025 free-agent quarterbacks. Russell Wilson is a declining asset but he can still be an average starter in the right situation. But at 36, his best days are behind him. The QB that Wilson replaced in Pittsburgh, Justin Fields, looks destined to be a backup. In all, the 2025 QB free-agent crop is one of the worst seasons in memory to require a veteran signal-caller.
