EDITOR’S NOTES:
This article, which was first published on March 4, has been updated to reflect free-agent signings and notable players who have since hit the open market. Players who have agreed to new contracts have been moved to the bottom portion of this list.
Each player’s listed age represents how old he will be on Sept. 4, when the 2025 NFL season is expected to kick off.
BEST AVAILABLE
Cooper’s one year on, one year off pattern continued in two places last season. By all accounts, he was playing through injuries late in his Bills stint, which helps explain his lack of production. Teams could buy the dip for one last big season at a reasonable price.
Knocked for his poor tackling and inability to play press coverage, Samuel is a playmaker who steadily improved in his Chargers tenure. He’d be a big asset in the right system.
