Top Remaining NFL Free Agents

NFL Free Agency signings are so fast and furious at the start that there aren't many players left after the first week. We're about to start the third week of free agency. Here are some of the best available NFL Free Agents.

1.   Jadeveon Clowney, Edge
2.   Cam Newton, QB
3.   Jameis Winston, QB
4.   Everson Griffen, Edge
5.   Logan Ryan, CB
6.   Jason Peters, OT
7.   Bashaud Breeland, CB
8.   Darqueze Dennard, CB
9.   Damarious Randall, S
10. Markus Golden, Edge
11. Daryl Worley, CB
12. Carlos Hyde, RB
13. Michael Bennett, Edge
14. Prince Amukamara, CB
15. Timmy Jernigan, DT
16. Demar Dotson, OT
17. Clayton Geathers, S
18. Eric Reid, S
19. Jabaal Sheard, Edge
20. Mike Daniels, DT
21. Mychal Kendricks, LB
22. Damon Harrison, NT
23. Terrell Suggs, Edge
24. Tony Jefferson, S
25. Cordy Glenn, OT
26. Devonta Freeman, RB
27. Nigel Bradham, LB
28. Chris Thompson, RB
29. Marcell Dareus, DT
30. Taylor Gabriel, WR

The top three were #1 picks in their respective drafts. Jadeveon Clowney's money demands likely greatly exceed what teams are willing to spend. Health and lack of starting opportunities are probably the reason that Cam Newton is available. The Carolina Panthers releasing him after the first wave of quarterback signings didn't help. Wildly inconsistent play isn't helping Jameis Winston. 

There are a number of corners available for a variety of reasons. Safeties too. Nearly a third of the above are defensive backs.

With the recent free agent emphasis on signing young-ish players to short-term deals it's interesting to see the players still available after a few weeks. Several of the above are past their best years (a few are well past it) but some are still at or near their prime. A couple of years ago, there were quality safeties available into the summer. 

Players that can help a team are still available. Other than Clowney, they are likely to be reasonably priced.
