The 10 best NFL free agents still available on day 2 of the legal tampering period
The first day of the NFL’s legal tampering period — the unofficial opening season of free agency where teams and players are allowed to hammer out contract negotiations — was a busy one. Scores of high-impact veterans switched teams as more than a billion dollars of contract value was doled out by franchises with Super Bowl aspirations.
Between Monday’s action and prior franchise tags, 19 of our top 25 free agents for 2024 were taken off the market either by new teams looking for impact additions or their prior teams looking to keep star-laded rosters intact. That thinned the herd, certainly, but it doesn’t mean there aren’t still difference makers out there search for their next home.
These are the 10 best available players who didn’t come to terms on a new contract on the first day of the unofficial free agent period.
