The best possible landing spots for the top remaining NFL free agents

While Suh has gone from one of the most feared defenders in the league to journeyman, he's still an elite player. Suh was dominant down the stretch last season, posting six solo tackles, five quarterback hits and 1.5 sacks during the postseason.

In the best case scenario, he plays another year in Los Angeles. He'll continue to benefit playing next to Aaron Donald. The longer Suh is a free agent and his price drops, the more likely he'll end up back with the Rams.

Houston just turned 30 and dealt with injuries again in 2018. Since becoming an All-Pro in 2014, Houston has missed 21 games.

But he still posted 9.0 sacks and 37 total tackles last season, and if the price is right, he would be a perfect fit for the Ravens. Baltimore just lost long-time outside linebacker Terrell Suggs.

Once one of the best safeties in football, Berry has dealt with an incredible amount during his career. He missed almost the entire second season of his career with an ACL injury, and in 2014, doctors diagnosed him with Hodgkin's lymphoma. 

Then in 2017, he ruptured an Achilles. He only played one game in 2017 and then three contests, including the playoffs, last year. 

Berry will likely never be an All-Pro again as he was in 2016, but a contender would probably roll the dice on him. Maybe his best fit is in Houston, who ironically just lost safety Tyrann Mathieu to Kansas City.

Because of injuries, Ansah hasn't been an elite pass rusher since 2015. Over the last three years, he has only played 34 games and will turn 30 in May.

But still, Ansah has 16 sacks in his last 21 games. The Raiders have already made big splashes in free agency, but after trading Khalil Mack, Oakland posted a measly 13 sacks in 2018. Signing Ansah would begin addressing their need at pass rush.

While the veteran tight end can't seem to find a permanent home, he's excelled everywhere. He will forever be remember for his incredible catch in the NFC Divisional playoffs with the Packers to help Green Bay knock off Dallas in the 2017 playoffs. Then last season, he posted 68 receptions, 896 yards and six touchdowns on his way to his first Pro Bowl. 

With Benjamin Watson retiring, Cook is an obvious fit for the Saints. Giving another weapon to Drew Brees would make their offense even more dangerous.

The 29-year-old was piecing together a strong season in 2018, but then the coaching staff greatly reduced his playing time in December. Brown didn't even start the final four games, but he still posted 96 total tackles, including 10 for loss and one sack.

The Bengals re-signed Preston Brown, but they could use more help at linebacker.

Callahan might be the most underrated free agent on the market. According to Pro Football Focus, Callahan allowed a 75.6 passer rating on his coverages last season. At the very least, he's an upgrade at the slot corner spot for just about every defense in the league, but he could receive the chance to start as well.

The Eagles would be an interesting destination, but they did just re-sign Ronald Darby. That might make the best fit for Callahan the Bears once again.

With the market dry for safeties last offseason, Boston had to take a one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals. But the asking price for safeties has been much better in 2019, and Boston should eventually land a nice multi-year deal. He has 10 interceptions in the last two seasons combined.

The Dallas Cowboys missed on adding Earl Thomas and Adrian Phillips, who re-signed with the Chargers on Friday. Dallas shouldn't pass up on one of the best safeties remaining on the market.

Claiborne never lived up to his billing as the No. 6 selection in the 2012 NFL Draft. In two years with the Jets, though, he became at least a reliable starter and posted two interceptions in 2018.

Aqib Talib left last year and Bradley Roby departed this offseason. The Broncos need to rebuild their secondary and could target a few different cornerbacks on our list.

Lang remained non-committal this week to playing in 2019. If he decides to suit up again, though, he would be a great addition for any team in need of a guard, and he'd probably be willing to sign a one-year deal.

Lang missed 10 games because of a neck injury in 2018, which is why he hasn't decided to definitely play this year. He was a Pro Bowler with the Lions in 2017. Lang could be of great use to a team such as the Bills, who need better protection in front of their young quarterback.

The Bengals had high expectations for Dennard when they made him a first-round pick in 2014, but he never really became a starter. In five seasons, he started 19 games in Cincinnati.

However, nine of those starts came last year. In 13 games total, Dennard posted 68 total tackles and six pass defenses in 2018. Again, he could be a piece to begin the rebuild in the secondary for Denver.

The terrible "body weight on the quarterback" penalties will be what fans remember most from Matthews' 2018 season. But even after turning 33 in May, he might still have something left in the tank.

Matthews started all 16 games last season and posted 43 total tackles with 3.5 sacks. He'd fit best in a pass rushing specialist role with a contender such as the Rams.

Ajayi has yet to fully repeat his 2016 performance, which was a season that saw him rush for more than 200 yards in three different games. Then last season, he tore his ACL.

However, Ajayi is still only 25 years old and can certainly at least be a useful back in a rotational situation. A team such as the Texans should take a chance on him because he could replace Lamar Miller as the starter, and if he doesn't, he'd at least add depth and give Deshaun Watson another weapon out of the backfield.

The Patriots shocked the NFL by trading Collins to the Cleveland Browns at the trade deadline in 2016. Since then, though, Collins has been underwhelming. He did post 104 tackles in 2018, but he's not the same elite player or pass rusher.

Still, in New England, the Patriots could take advantage of the skills he still has, and he probably wouldn't be too expensive. If a reunion is possible, Collins would have an impact on Day 1.

Once an elite receiver, Cobb's best seasons are well behind him. He posted 38 receptions for 383 yards and two touchdowns last season. All of those totals were his lowest since his rookie season in 2012.

But in Indianapolis, Cobb could be rejuvenated. With T.Y. Hilton taking the top off defenses, Cobb could receive plenty of short targets in the flat. Cobb will turn just 29 in August, so while he isn't as electric as he was, he could still be a useful target for an offense as dynamic as the Colts.

Breeland has been a starter throughout his career, but if he could transition to the slot, the Bears might have some interest. Chicago is losing Bryce Callahan to free agency.

Breeland played in seven games last season and posted 20 total tackles with two interceptions, including a pick-six. He's only 27 years old and could also provide depth behind Kyle Fuller and Prince Amukamara.

If the Bears re-sign Callahan, Breeland would fit back in Green Bay as well.

He's not one of the best 20 remaining free agents. Heck, he may not be in the top 50, but he's on our list because I wanted to include one quarterback, and teams in the market for a backup don't need to look any further than Fitzpatrick.

In eight games, he averaged 9.6 yards per attempt and threw 17 touchdowns last season. Unfortunately, Fitzpatrick also had 12 interceptions. Still, if his team's starter goes down with injury, Fitzpatrick gives his squad a better chance to win than just about any other backup signal caller in the league.

Carolina is confident Cam Newton will be ready in Week 1, but if he isn't, the Panthers should inquire about adding Fitzpatrick. He could start until Newton is ready.
