The 2024 NFL free agency period began with a bang as many notable players found new homes right at the start. We saw elite running backs like Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs, D’Andre Swift, and Tony Pollard get signed, along with wideouts Calvin Ridley and Gabriel Davis. Big names defensively also inked contracts with new teams like defensive tackle Christian Wilkins and safety Xavier McKinney.

The free agent market has slowed down to a near stop with the 2024 NFL Draft just a few weeks away, but there are still some solid players available. Here’s a look at the best NFL players left in free agency as we head to the point in the offseason when rookies dominate the headlines. These names will likely return to relevancy after the 2024 NFL Draft when teams will look to fill holes based on how their specific drafts pan out.

So, who are the best NFL players still out there on the open market? Here’s an updated position-by-position look at some of the top available free agents at each position two weeks out from the 2024 NFL Draft.
