The 2026 NFL free agency period has begun with many deals already struck, but ESPN has identified the top remaining unsigned players. Among the most notable are Kyler Murray, who was released by the Cardinals after playing in only five games due to injury, and veteran quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Kirk Cousins still available on the market.

ESPN's ranking considers age, positional value, expected production, and scheme versatility. Offensive tackle Rasheed Walker tops the list with a 93.8% pass block win rate, while receivers Jauan Jennings and Stefon Diggs offer different skill sets. Jennings caught 55 passes for nine touchdowns in an injury-riddled 49ers unit, while Diggs had 85 receptions for 1,013 yards in his lone season with the Patriots.

Defensive players also populate the list, with edge rusher Joey Bosa recording 5 sacks, 5 forced fumbles and 42 pressures for the Bills. Safety Jaquan Brisker played in all 17 games last season after missing 12 in 2024 with a concussion. The remaining free agents represent significant opportunities for teams looking to fill specific needs before training camps open.
