NFL free agents who could still help teams in 2020

Now into June, there remain many NFL players in free agency who can still help teams. These 25 free agents are among the best players still available.

 
1 of 25

Kelvin Beachum, OT

Beachum, an eight-year veteran, has seen a surprisingly quiet market. He started 13 games for the Jets last season and is entering only his age 31 season.

Eric Berry, S

Berry took the 2019 season off, giving a chronic heel issue time to mend. The three-time All-Pro barely played in 2017 and 2018 due to injuries, but his past ability and leadership should give him one more opportunity in the league.

Nigel Bradham, LB

The 30-yer-old Bradham started 12 games for the Eagles last season, recording 61 tackles. His play has fallen off slightly, but the veteran linebacker should be able to help in the right situation.

Jadeveon Clowney, DE

Clowney has been searching for a lucrative contract this offseason and remains the top prize in free agency. He recorded only three sacks in 13 games for the Seahawks last season but was disruptive in other ways and is just entering his age 27 season.

Dustin Colquitt, P

A two-time Pro Bowl punter, Colquitt's Chiefs career came to an end after 15 seasons when the team released him last month to save money. He's continued to perform at a high level into his late 30s and shouldn't have trouble finding a job if he wants to continue his NFL career.

Mike Daniels, DT

Daniels was a disappointment in Detroit last season, playing only nine games due to injury. Now mostly a run stuff at this point in his career, the former Pro Bowl lineman with Green Bay might have a difficult time finding a taker.

 
7 of 25

Marcell Dareus, DT

Marcell Dareus, DT
Reinhold Matay / USA Today Sports Images

Dareus has been an elite run stopper during his career with Buffalo and Jacksonville but played only six games last year due to a core muscle injury. He could still help a team that wants to improve its run defense at age 30.

Darqueze Dennard, CB

Dennard came close to signing with Jacksonville this offseason, but the former Bengal remains on the open market. He played only nine games last season due to injury but has plenty of experience entering his age 29 season.

Devonta Freeman, RB

Freeman missed most of 2018 due to injury and looked like he lost a step in Atlanta last year, averaging only 3.6 yards per carry. His versatility should still make him attractive in a complementary role at age 28.

 
10 of 25

Taylor Gabriel, WR

The speedy Gabriel played only nine games in Chicago last year due to injury, coming off a career year in which he had 67 receptions for 688 yards in 2018. He's hoping for an opportunity to show what he has left at age 29.

 
11 of 25

Cordy Glenn, OT

Glenn has averaged only nine games per season over the last four years, likely the biggest reason for his quiet market. He was a solid left tackle early in his career with Buffalo before joining Cincinnati in 2018.

 
12 of 25

Markus Golden, DE

Markus Golden, DE

Golden did well to revitalize his value with the Giants last season, or so it seemed. The former Cardinal recorded double-digit sacks for the second time in his career with 10 in 16 games, overcoming two injury-plagued seasons.

 
13 of 25

Stephen Gostkowski, K

Stephen Gostkowski, K

Gostkowski has been one of the game's best kickers for much of his career but was released by the Patriots after an injury-riddled 2019 season. He might have to prove his health but should be able to help a team in 2020 if he's right.

 
14 of 25

Everson Griffen, DE

Everson Griffen, DE
Jake Roth / USA Today Sports Images

Griffen was cut by the Vikings after 10 seasons, including Pro Bowls in four of the last five campaigns. He recorded eight sacks in 15 games last season.

 
15 of 25

Damon Harrison, DT

Damon Harrison, DT
Tim Fuller / USA Today Sports Images

A longtime run stuffer, "Snacks" Harrison saw his play decline last year with only 49 tackles and two sacks in 15 games with Detroit. He's still one year removed from being a dominant defender but has yet to find a home for 2020.

 
16 of 25

Tony Jefferson, S

Tony Jefferson, S

Jefferson was released by Baltimore in February after playing only five games in 2019 due to a knee injury. At age 28, he seems likely to find a landing spot before the start of the season.

 
17 of 25

Reshad Jones, S

Reshad Jones, S
Denny Medley / USA Today Sports Images

Jones was injured and played only four games last season, which marked the end of his 10-season tenure with Miami. At age 32, the two-time Pro Bowler could still add veteran leadership.

 
18 of 25

Colin Kaepernick, QB

Colin Kaepernick, QB
Matt Kartozian / USA Today Sports Images

Kaepernick last appeared in the NFL in 2016 and has since been bypassed by NFL teams following his controversial protests. In the midst of the current protests around the country and in Minneapolis, former NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart suggests the Vikings should sign Kaepernick. Kaepernick did hold a tryout in 2019, and the former 49ers starter could still help a team as a mobile backup at age 32.

 
19 of 25

Dre Kirkpatrick, CB

Dre Kirkpatrick, CB
Kareem Elgazzar / USA Today Sports Images

Cincinnati revamped its defense this offseason and released Kirkpatrick after eight seasons. He played only six games last year due to injury and should find a home as a depth signing as he approaches age 31.

 
20 of 25

Cam Newton, QB

Cam Newton, QB
Jeremy Brevard / USA Today Sports Images

Newton missed most of 2019 with a foot injury and has yet to find a new team since he was released by the Panthers. With few starting opportunities left, the 2015 MVP might opt to remain on the market until a good opportunity arises.

 
21 of 25

Jason Peters, LT

Jason Peters, LT
Eric Hartline / USA Today Sports Images

Peters has made nine Pro Bowls during his career and still plans a return this year at age 38. He's missed time to injuries in two of the last three seasons but has continued to play well when in the lineup.

 
22 of 25

Eric Reid, S

Eric Reid, S
Jeremy Brevard / USA Today Sports Images

Reid started all 16 games for Carolina last year, finishing with a career-high 130 tackles and four sacks. He was released by the rebuilding Panthers in March, but his recent play shows that he can certainly still help a team.

 
23 of 25

Logan Ryan, CB

Logan Ryan, CB
George Walker IV / USA Today Sports Images

Ryan has started in Tennessee over the last three seasons but ran into some struggles last year. He is the top cornerback remaining on the market entering his age 29 season.

 
24 of 25

Delanie Walker, TE

Delanie Walker, TE
George Walker IV / USA Today Sports Images

A late bloomer in Tennessee, Walker has had trouble staying on the field over the last two seasons, playing a total of eight games due to injuries. Continuing his career at age 36 could be difficult for the three-time Pro Bowler, but he was productive last season (215 yards receiving in seven games) when he did play.

 
25 of 25

Larry Warford, OG

Larry Warford, OG
Chuck Cook / USA Today Sports Images

Warford is clearly the top offensive lineman available in free agency after the Saints released him last month. The seven-year pro has made three consecutive Pro Bowls and shouldn't have a problem finding a starting job elsewhere.
