Two days into the free agency frenzy of 2025, there are plenty of marketable talents left on the board as the sun rises on the first day of the NFL league year.

Defensive backs and linemen were the belles of the ball over the first day of the open market with those contracts set to become official on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET.

A few surprises? Sure, we didn’t see guard Will Fries receiving a contract worth $88 million, the third-highest total value of any agreement made in the open negotiating period that began at noon ET on Monday.

Some overspends? Yes, there always are. But if we can take anything away from the construction of the Super Bowl champion Eagles, it’s that the NFL calls it a salary cap for a reason. Spend wisely, or find yourself in Giants general manager Joe Schoen’s shoes (cough, cough, Saquon Barkley) wishing you would have.

With fluid negotiations in progress and likely to reset the list below, here are the best free agents still available as the workday begins Wednesday morning.

WR Stefon Diggs (Texans): Until the Rams make it official and release Cooper Kupp, Diggs is the best receiver on the market because of his ability to adapt as an inside or outside receiver. The pause in paying Diggs could have a lot to do with health. He turns 32 in November and is coming back from a torn ACL.

WR Amari Cooper (Bills): Acquired from the Browns at the trade deadline, Cooper was a bust in Buffalo. He had bumps and bruises that limited his production with the Bills, but WR1 is no longer a likely role for Cooper. He’s 31 in June and likely no more than a third receiver.

OT Cam Robinson (Vikings): Robinson showed well in a half-season with the Vikings, who were forced to pick up a replacement for Christian Darrisaw (ACL) on the fly.

OG Mekhi Becton (Eagles): A power tackle who didn’t take with the Jets, Becton isn’t the best fit for every scheme but he turns 26 next month and is a plow horse as a run blocker.

S Julian Blackmon (Colts): He doesn’t turn 27 until training camp and started 16 games with the Colts last season. A former third-round pick with 10 career interceptions.

OT Jedrick Wills (Browns): A reboot with a new team and perhaps position might be in the offing for Wills. He wasn’t the answer at left tackle in Cleveland but could see a career rebound similar to Becton with a relocation.

OG Teven Jenkins (Bears): A second-round pick in 2021 with a shaky reputation for paid time off, Jenkins started a career-best 14 games and played a career-high 738 offensive snaps last season and still missed almost one-third of the Bears’ plays (right tackle Darnell Wright played 1,020). He’s been solid to very good when available, and given the cash doled out to guards in free agency, he has 38 career starts and enough good film to be worth a knock at the right price.

WR Elijah Moore (Browns): Cursed with horrific QB play since he entered the NFL with the Jets, Moore is only 25 and caught 200 passes in his first four seasons. He thrives as a slot receiver and would be a great addition for a team with a young quarterback or overhauled WR room.
