Top remaining NFL free agents and their likely landing spots

Kirk Cousins, QB, Atlanta Falcons

Cousins became available after the Falcons officially released him at the start of the new league year, delaying his entry into a quarterback market that was already cooling off following moves like Kyler Murray's one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings.

His experience and leadership ability make him a reliable option for rebuilding teams, though his age and injury history have tempered demand for a long-term starting role.

Likely Landing Spot: Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders have stated they are hesitant to start anticipated draft pick Fernando Mendoza right away. They've had conversations about who will be the starter and the leader to mentor Mendoza. Cousins is the ideal partner for what they're looking for. 

Jauan Jennings, WR, San Francisco 49ers

Jennings is known for his ability to block near the boundary and his contested-catch ability. He led the 49ers with nine touchdowns in 2025 despite never topping 975 receiving yards in a season. His age — he turns 29 in July — and the market's preference for younger vertical threats like Rashid Shaheed (re-signed by Seattle) have kept him unsigned, as teams prioritize long-term investments and receivers who can expand the field. 

Likely Landing Spot: Tennessee Titans

The Titans addressed one receiver need by signing Wan'Dale Robinson to a four-year, $70M deal, but still lack depth, especially with Calvin Ridley's injury recovery uncertain. As a Tennessee alum, Jennings brings local appeal and complements the group's size and toughness in an offense that could use his third-down reliability.

Joey Bosa, EDGE, Buffalo Bills

Bosa's injury-plagued tenure with the Chargers — he missed 23 games over three years — continued in Buffalo, where he notched five sacks and led the NFL with five forced fumbles in 2025 but sat out two games with a hamstring injury. His declining run defense and pressure rate have made teams hesitant, viewing him more as a situational pass-rusher than an every-down star.

Likely Landing Spot: San Francisco 49ers

Pairing Bosa with his brother Nick, who is recovering from an ACL tear, would create a formidable edge duo for a team that ranked dead last with just 20 sacks in 2025. The 49ers, who signed wide receicer Mike Evans but lost depth on the line, are comfortable with injury risks and could use Bosa in a rotational role to boost their pass rush. 

Wyatt Teller, OL, Cleveland Browns

A former Pro Bowler, Teller's performance slipped after coaching changes, and he missed games due to injuries in 2024-25. Younger guards like Zion Johnson (signed by Cleveland) have commanded deals, pushing Teller into veteran plug-and-play territory. 

Likely Landing Spot: Houston Texans

After adding Braden Smith but trading away Tytus Howard, the Texans need line stability. Teller's physicality at right guard addresses ongoing revamps in an offense protecting quarterback C.J. Stroud. 

Brian Robinson Jr., RB, San Francisco 49ers

Robinson's efficiency as a between-the-tackles runner (43.3% success rate over three seasons) stands out, but fumble issues (eight in the first three years) and limited receiving/pass-blocking skills cap his appeal. Traded to the 49ers in 2025, he showed explosiveness without turnovers on 100 touches. His contact balance and ability to move the chains will be highly needed. 

Likely Landing Spot: Seattle Seahawks

With Zach Charbonnet sidelined by an ACL tear and Walker gone, Seattle signed Emanuel Wilson, but it needs a lead back. Robinson's rushing consistency fits as a rotational starter on a one-year deal during Charbonnet's recovery. 

In a league where depth can define playoff runs, these remaining free agents represent value for savvy teams. As negotiations continue, expect more signings in the coming days, potentially altering training-camp battles and 2026 outlooks.
