Top 10 Unsigned NFL Free Agents: Dez Bryant, Eric Reid, and More

Top 10 Unsigned NFL Free Agents: Dez Bryant, Eric Reid, and More

The dust has settled from the 2018 NFL Draft and teams are getting their first look at rookies in minicamps. Meanwhile, plenty of NFL talent is hanging around on the waiver wire, with NFL veteran free agents still looking for new homes.

Who are the best free agents still available? Here's a look:

WR Dez Bryant

2017 Stats: 69 catches, 838 yards, 6 TDs
2017 Team: Dallas Cowboys
Years in League: 8

Dez Bryant is arguably the top WR on the market and one of the top players left on the market, period. He's been known to be a locker room headache, however, and will probably be asking for much more money than most teams will want to pay him. Jason Witten recently said he thinks Bryant will end up with Green Bay.

S Eric Reid

2017 Stats: 52 tackles, 2 INT, 4 PD, 1 FR
2017 Team: San Francisco 49ers
Years in League: 5

The safety market has been surprisingly slow this offseason, as Eric Reid is one of several talented safeties still available. Those who have signed haven't exactly broken the bank, either (Kurt Coleman — 3 years, $16.35 million; Morgan Burnett — 3 years, $14.35 million; Tyrann Mathieu — 1 year, $7 million).

COMPARE: Eric Reid vs. Any Player

DT Johnathan Hankins

2017 Stats: 24 tackles, 2 sacks, 3 PD
2017 Team: Indianapolis Colts
Years in League: 5

Johnathan Hankins is the top interior defensive lineman left on the market after spending just one season in Indianapolis.

WR Brandon Marshall

2017 Stats: 18 catches, 154 yards
2017 Team: New York Giants
Years in League: 12

Does Brandon Marshall have anything left in the tank? His 12th season in the league was injury-ridden, and he only played in 5 games. Could he sign with a contender for a shot at the Super Bowl?

COMPARE: Brandon Marshall vs. Any Player

CB Bashaud Breeland

[credit]AP_16359684787654AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast[/credit]

2017 Stats: 34 tackles, 19 PD, 1 INT (ret. 96 yards for TD)
2017 Team: Washington Redskins
Years in League: 4

Bashaud Breeland was signed by the Carolina Panthers earlier this offseason, but the deal was voided after he failed his physical due to what the Panthers called a "non-football injury."

S Kenny Vaccaro

2017 Stats: 48 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 7 PD, 3 INT, 1 FR ret. for TD
2017 Team: New Orleans Saints
Years in League: 5

Kenny Vaccaro is another of the safeties who is still available because of the apparent poor market for safeties this offseason.

RB DeMarco Murray

2017 Stats: 184 carries, 659 yards, 6 TD; 39 receptions, 266 yards, 1 TD
2017 Team: Tennessee Titans
Years in League: 7

The Titans have moved on from DeMarco Murray  to hand the reins over to Derrick Henry, leaving Murray the top running back left on the market.

WR Jeremy Maclin

2017 Stats: 40 receptions, 440 yards, 3 TD
2017 Team: Baltimore Ravens
Years in League: 8

Jeremy Maclin will likely be looking at playing for his fourth team in the last five years after he was released from Baltimore.

COMPARE: Jeremy Maclin vs. Any Player

S T.J. Ward

[credit]AP_17260728510493AP Photo/Jason Behnken[/credit]

2017 Stats: 30 tackles, 3 PD, 1 FR
2017 Team: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Years in League: 8

T.J. Ward played out his one-year deal in Tampa Bay starting just five games. He'll look for employment elsewhere as a part of the safety group still looking for jobs.

COMPARE: T.J. Ward vs. Any Player

TE Antonio Gates

2017 Stats: 30 receptions, 316 yards, 3 TD
2017 Team: Los Angeles Chargers
Years in League: 15

Does Antonio Gates have it in him for one more run? The veteran could be a solid option for a title-contending squad looking for another tight end.
