Who Is Still Available In Free Agents NFL?

It’s that time of year again: the NFL season is in full swing, and fans are clamoring to see their favorite team make a run at the playoffs. But for some teams, the season is already over – and for those fans, the focus now turns to free agency. Who is still available in free agency, and who might your team be able to sign to bolster its roster for next season?

Free Agents NFL

The NFL free agency period began on March 13th and there are still a number of big names available. Here is a list of the top 10 free agents still available.

What is the NFL free agent list?

The NFL free agent list is a list of players who are eligible to sign with any team in the National Football League (NFL), provided that they were not on an active roster at the end of the previous season. Eligibility for inclusion on the list is determined by specific criteria set forth by the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).

Under the CBA, each season all NFL players with expiring contracts are “free agents” and may sign with any team. If a player signs with a new team, his old team may elect to “match” the terms of the contract and keep him under their control (“restricted free agent”), or they may decline to match the contract and allow him to leave (“unrestricted free agent”). If a player’s contract expires and he is not signed by another team, he becomes a “free agent” and may sign with any team.

Players who are under contract but who have been released by their teams are also “free agents” and may sign with any other team.

What is a restricted free agent in the NFL?

In the National Football League (NFL), a restricted free agent (RFA) is a player who is eligible for free agency but whose rights are restricted by their current team.

There are three types of restricted free agents in the NFL:

First-round tender: A first-round pick in the draft is required to sign the player to a one-year contract.

Second-round tender: A second-round pick in the draft is required to sign the player to a one-year contract.

Original round tender: The round in which the player was originally drafted in (e.g., if a player was drafted in the fifth round, then that is their “original round”) is required to sign the player to a one-year contract.

Who are the top restricted free agents in the NFL?

Since the start of the new league year on March 13th, several restricted free agents have been tendered or signed with their respective teams. Here is a look at some of the top restricted free agents who are still available.

wide receiver Tyrell Williams
After four seasons with the Chargers, Williams signed a one-year, $9.6 million deal with the Raiders. He has shown flashes of being a No. 1 receiver, but has never had more than668 receiving yards in a season.

linebacker Shaq Thompson
A former first-round pick of the Panthers, Thompson has been a solid player for Carolina, but has never been a full-time starter. He has played in all 16 games in each of the last three seasons, totaling 234 tackles, 4 sacks and 2 interceptions.

cornerback Prince Amukamara
Amukamara was released by the Jaguars after just one season in Jacksonville. He started 12 games for the Jaguars in 2018, totaling 55 tackles and 1 interception. Amukamara has also spent time with the Giants and Bears in his career.

Unrestricted Free Agents

As of September 5th, 2020, there are numerous NFL players who are still available as unrestricted free agents. These are players who are eligible to sign with any team, without that team giving up anything in return. Here is a list of some of the most notable players who are still available.

What is an unrestricted free agent in the NFL?

An unrestricted free agent in the National Football League (NFL) is a player who is free to sign with any club, without restriction, after the expiration of his contract. If the player has completed four or more accrued seasons in the NFL, he is an unrestricted free agent upon the expiration of his contract. If he has completed fewer than four accrued seasons, he is a restricted free agent.

In order for a player to become an unrestricted free agent, he must have been under contract with his previous team for four or more years. He can then sign with any team that he chooses, without restriction from his previous team. The previous team can choose to match the offer made by the new team, but if they choose not to, they will not receive any compensation in return.

Players who have been released by their teams are also unrestricted free agents and can sign with any team that they choose. However, players who are still under contract but have had their contracts “tolled” (meaning that their contracts have been extended for another year) are not considered to be unrestricted free agents.
