Several notable veterans remain on the market as the NFL offseason continues through the summer months
NFL training camps are underway. The newcomers that arrived on their respective teams during the first major waves of free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft have settled into their new environments and will now spend the coming weeks gearing up for their debut seasons in new uniforms.
As teams introduce their rookies to the pros and weave in their veteran pickups, they also continue to look to improve on the periphery. Not every roster hole was filled in March and April, after all, and there is a notable advantage to signing free agents after the NFL Draft: They no longer count against the NFL’s compensatory picks formula. That resulted in a slight uptick in the spring, but most of the post-draft signings will continue to trickle in this summer as still-unsigned vets start finding new homes during training camp.
Each of the top 36 players on Pete Prisco’s annual free agent ranking has signed, but there is still plenty of quality talent available as the NFL calendar moves through its quietest months. Most recently, Deebo Samuel reportedly agreed on a one-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers worth up to $7 million.
Samuel’s return to the Bay Area comes after two years with the Washington Commanders and takes him back to the place where he emerged as a star. With his addition, the 49ers add necessary weapons around quarterback Brock Purdy with Brandon Aiyuk all but certainly done and Ricky Pearsall experiencing lingering effects from last season’s knee injury. The signing also leaves eight of the top 100 players still on the market.
