5 Remaining NFL Free Agents Who Could Have Big 2026 Seasons

While most of the top options in NFL free agency have been signed to new teams, there are still impact players available. Here are five intriguing options who are still on the market. 5 Remaining NFL Free Agents Who Can Help Super Bowl Contenders Diggs is now 32 years old, but he showed he can still be an integral piece of an offense with the New England Patriots. Per The Athletic’s Daniel Popper, Diggs finished seventh in yards per route run among receivers with at least 50 targets. In all, Diggs had 85 receptions for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns. Diggs will likely have to settle for a short-term deal and he’ll also likely want to join a playoff contender as he’s been part of eight postseason teams in his career. Diggs can still stretch the field, get open and remains a route tactician. While his NFL career may not last much longer, he still has at least a couple productive years left in him. Jordan, 37, has spent his entire 15-year career with the New Orleans Saints, but where he plays next season is very much up in the air. Jordan had 10.5 sacks last season and recently said he’s prioritizing landing somewhere that he can reach or exceed that total in 2026. Jordan believes he can get upwards of 13 sacks next season. “Value means position, rotation, monetary, sure, but more along the lines of if I want to get 10, 12, 13 sacks this next season, then I need to be in the best position to do so,” Jordan said, per Kevin Patra of NFL.com. Clowney, 33, was very effective in 2025 with the Dallas Cowboys, totaling 8.5 sacks. Clowney ranked No. 4 in pressure rate at 19.1% among players with at least 200 snaps. Even if Clowney joins a new team in a rotational role, his recent success shows he still has some gas left in the tank. The former No. 1 overall pick ideally could serve at a No. 2 or No. 3 pass rusher for a contending team. Njoku, 30, has been one of the most dynamic tight ends in the NFL the better part of a decade but doesn’t have much to show for it in nine seasons with the Cleveland Browns that has featured poor quarterback play. While Njoku isn’t a premier blocking tight end, he has the speed and athleticism to thrive as part of a potent offense. Njoku played in just 12 games last season with 33 receptions for 293 yards and four touchdowns. His low totals will lead to him being a bargain for a team. It’s hard to believe that Wagner, 35, is still available after a strong 2025 season with the Washington Commanders. Wagner ranked No. 5 in the league with 162 tackles and No. 6 in tackles for loss with 9.5. Sure, Wagner’s pass coverage isn’t what it once was, but his football intelligence, play recognition and brute force tackling are all still top tier. Even if Wagner’s snap count is reduced in 2026, he can be counted on in early down situations or when opposing offenses are in run-heavy formations.
