There are still some fascinating veterans sitting out there in free agency. I assume, at this point, they're taking their time and going to take the best deal (money + opportunity to compete for a Super Bowl) that's available after the NFL draft when teams assess what holes they still need to plug.
Quarterback: One Remains
Aaron Rodgers -- IF he decides to play in 2025, which seems likely, he will be the starter.
Running Back: Cupboard is Bare
J.K. Dobbins -- Last year, we saw he can still be effective in a run-heavy system, but his injury history precludes any team from relying on him as more than a complementary committee contributor in 2025 and beyond.
Nick Chubb -- We all love Chubb and would love to see him put together another strong multi-year run if he's healthy. But his age and injury history make that unlikely. I hope he signs with a legitimate contender so he can at least get a ring.
Gus Edwards -- Edwards failed to thrive last year, and the Chargers clearly preferred Dobbins when they had both at their disposal. Edwards feels like he'll be lucky to be a No. 3 this year.
Wide Receiver: Vets Who Can Help
Amari Cooper -- Cooper is 31 years old, and last year was a bit of a disaster (547 yards on two teams with a 52% catch rate). But he averaged 75 receptions, 1,200 yards, and 7 touchdowns in the prior two seasons in Cleveland. He feels like someone likely to take a one-year deal with a contender as the No. 3 in a pass-heavy offense.
Keenan Allen -- Allen is in a weird spot as early free agency reports said he would only play for Chicago or a West Coast team in 2025. He shrugged off an awful start to 2024 and looked more like himself later in the year, but he's still lost a step and will be 33 years old this season. There's a chance he lands on a team like New England or Tennessee, where the need for a receiver makes him a fringe fantasy asset. But it's more likely he signs with a contender as a backup.
Tyler Lockett -- Does Lockett want to play this year? I have no idea, but he can still be a terrific No. 3, particularly for a team with young receivers that need mentoring.
Tight End: Don't Bother
There's no remaining tight end available that should reasonably be seen as a fantasy contributor.
Offensive Tackle: Desperate Swings
George Fant -- Fant won the RT job in Seattle last year but missed almost the entire season with injuries. He's being courted by a few teams, including Baltimore and Tennessee, as a swing tackle.
Tyron Smith -- Smith is considering retirement because of chronic neck issues, but most think he'll sign as a swing option with a contender.
Jedrick Wills -- Another low-end option best suited as a swing option.
Offensive Guard: Will Work for Snaps
Dalton Risner -- An experienced, effective guard who never seems to be a priority for NFL GMs. He could start for quite a few teams.
Brandon Scherff -- An aging veteran, but he played 98% of snaps last year and graded as a top-20 guard. Seems like the perfect early summer addition for a contending team that finds a post-draft hole in the interior.
Will Hernandez -- He turns 30 this year and missed most of the 2024 season, but he's been a slightly above league average starter since 2018 and, at a minimum, should land somewhere as the top interior swing option.
Center: An Undecided Veteran
David Andrews -- Andrews was "shocked" by his release in New England and hasn't committed to playing in 2025. But he would be an upgrade at center for a handful of teams if they come calling.
Cornerback: Options Aplenty
Rasul Douglas -- Douglas is a bit of a journeyman, having played for five teams in eight seasons. But when healthy, he's still an effective piece, particularly in a zone system.
Mike Hilton -- Hilton is 31 years old, but he's been remarkably consistent in his eight seasons and can help plenty of teams as the primary slot corner.
Asante Samuel Jr. -- Missed most of 2024 and needs to improve his tackling, but in a league that always needs secondary help, he's worth adding if the price is right.
Kendall Fuller -- His one season in Miami didn't go as planned, but he's got a long history of strong play both in coverage and run support.
Stephon Gilmore -- The former defensive player of the year is now 35 years old and is in his journeyman phase (five teams in the last five seasons), but he's still effective and has been linked to a number of playoff contenders.
Safety: A Trio of Talented Vets
Julian Blackmon -- Blackmon turns 27 this year and is coming off his best season. He likely signs as a starter before camps get underway.
Marcus Williams -- Williams was Baltimore's prized free agent signing in 2022 and looked the part for two seasons, but was awful (and benched) in 2024, leading to his release. At 28 years old, with seven above-average seasons on his resume, he should get a chance to start for someone this season.
Justin Simmons -- Simmons is 31 years old and played more than 1,000 snaps last year, but his one (and done) stint in Atlanta didn't go particularly well. He should still be an effective contributor if he lands in a familiar scheme.
Linebacker: Something for Everyone
C.J. Mosley -- Mosley was a cap casualty this offseason after injuries cost him 13 games. But, even at 33 years old, he is the best free-agent linebacker available. If healthy, he is still an every-down impact starter.
Kyzir White -- White played over 1,000 snaps for Arizona (his first season hitting that mark) but was a massive liability in coverage. He's far better suited to sign on as an early-down rotational contributor for an attacking defense.
Eric Kendricks -- Kendricks played for the Vikings for eight seasons but is now entering the journeyman phase (LAC, 23 and DAL, 24) but was an effective contributor for both teams. He's a good all-around linebacker that should plug a hole for a team in need after the draft.
Ja'Whaun Bentley -- Bentley's career has been volatile, but many believe he can still be an effective starter in the right scheme.
Defensive Tackle: No Man's Land
Space eaters are never out of work for long, so it's no surprise that the options in free agency are slim and mostly would be roster depth as emergency contributors.
Edge Rusher: Aging Pass Rush Specialists
Za'Darius Smith -- Smith is a bad tackler and can't be put in the position of needing to cover receivers anymore, but he had nine sacks in less than 60% of snaps last year and has 69 sacks in his career. A coordinator who lets him pin his ears back and hit the edge without risking him in space can still reap the rewards of a low-risk contract.
Von Miller -- At 36 years old, Miller is on his last legs. But he did have six sacks in less than 300 snaps last year and should still be a viable rotational edge presence if he's willing to take a low-end contract.
Matthew Judon -- Judon turns 33 years old in August and only had 5.5 sacks in 17 games for Atlanta. But his natural pass-rush instincts make him a worthy flier on a one-year deal as a rotational piece.
Carl Lawson -- Lawson, 30 (in June), has mainly been a sub-package player in his career (50% fewer snaps in four seasons) but can still set the edge.
