Linderbaum ranked as the fifth-highest graded center in the NFL in 2025 and has improved his PFF grade in every season since entering the league, all while heading toward free agency at just 25 years old. While he remains imperfect in pass protection, he has earned PFF pass-blocking grades above 60.0 in three consecutive seasons.

Snaps: 857 | PFF grade: 88.4

Lloyd delivered a career year in the final season of his rookie contract, earning an 88.4 PFF grade that ranked third among linebackers. A complete linebacker, he ranked inside the top 10 at the position in PFF run-defense, coverage and pass-rush grades.

5. CB Jamel Dean, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Snaps: 668 | PFF grade: 80.6

Dean ranked fourth among all cornerbacks in PFF grade (81.5) in 2025 and allowed just a 46.9 passer rating on throws into his coverage, which was the best mark in the NFL. Now seven seasons into his career, he has never posted a PFF coverage grade below 70.0.

6. HB Kenneth Walker III, Seattle Seahawks

Snaps: 619 | PFF grade: 91.4

Walker currently leads all running backs in PFF grade (90.7) in what has been a career year. He has also been one of the league's best at creating beyond his blocking, ranking third at the position in missed tackles forced (65).

7. ED Odafe Oweh, Los Angeles Chargers

Snaps: 563 | PFF grade: 75.5

A midseason trade from the Baltimore Ravens to the Los Angeles Chargers sparked a career year for Odafe Oweh at an ideal time as he heads toward free agency. He recorded three sacks and two forced fumbles in the Chargers' playoff loss to the New England Patriots and ranked 11th among edge defenders in PFF pass-rush win rate (16.5%) after arriving in Los Angeles.

8. LB Devin Bush, Cleveland Browns

Snaps: 994 | PFF grade: 87.6

Bush produced just one 60.0-plus PFF grade from 2019 through 2023, but he has broken out over his two seasons with the Cleveland Browns. He finished the 2025 season with an 87.6 PFF grade that ranked fourth among all linebackers, and his three interceptions tied for third at the position.

9. HB Breece Hall, New York Jets

Snaps: 640 | PFF grade: 83.5

Hall has earned PFF grades above 80.0 in two of the past three seasons and ranked eighth among running backs in PFF grade (83.5) in 2025. He will be just 25 years old when the 2026 NFL season begins and has established himself as a top-10 player at the position.

10. WR Alec Pierce, Indianapolis Colts

Snaps: 820 | PFF grade: 79.3

Pierce delivered a career year in 2025, ranking 16th among wide receivers in PFF receiving grade (81.0) and 17th in yards per route run (2.10). A true downfield threat, he led the NFL in average depth of target (20.0) and yards per reception (21.3).

11. LB Nakobe Dean, Philadelphia Eagles

Snaps: 476 | PFF grade: 62.2

Dean's 2025 season was uneven due in large part to injuries, but his strong 2024 performance should still bode well for his free-agency outlook. A capable blitzer, he has generated 26 total pressures over the past two seasons.

12. LB Leo Chenal, Kansas City Chiefs

Snaps: 655 | PFF grade: 75.1

Chenal has never logged 600 or more defensive snaps in a season, but he has earned PFF grades above 70.0 in each of his four NFL seasons. At 25, he remains young enough to offer developmental upside and brings versatility as a blitzer, having generated 48 total pressures since 2022.

13. WR Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Snaps: 357 | PFF grade: 69.8

Evans' streak of 1,000-yard seasons came to an end after an injury-plagued 2025 campaign, and it is fair to question whether his best days are behind him. Still, at 32 years old, he is just one season removed from earning a 90.2 PFF receiving grade, leaving him more than capable of serving as a strong short-term option.

14. ED Jaelan Phillips, Philadelphia Eagles

Snaps: 887 | PFF grade: 74.2

Injuries have plagued Phillips‘ career, but he looked closer to his best after arriving in Philadelphia ahead of the trade deadline. From Week 10 on, he earned a 70.2 PFF pass-rush grade and generated 44 total pressures.

15. HB Travis Etienne Jr., Jacksonville Jaguars

Snaps: 719 | PFF grade: 74.2

Etienne bounced back from a disappointing 2024 season and looked closer to his best this year. His 46 missed tackles forced tied for 14th among all running backs, and he remained effective in creating explosive plays, with his 28 rushes of 10 or more yards tying for 10th at the position.

16. HB Rico Dowdle, Carolina Panthers

Snaps: 647 | PFF grade: 63.5

Dowdle replicated his final season in Dallas during his lone year with the Carolina Panthers, further establishing himself as a capable starting running back at the NFL level. While he is not a true game-breaker, he has averaged more than 3.0 yards after contact per carry over his career and profiles as a strong fit for a team with a solid offensive line.

17. G Isaac Seumalo, Pittsburgh Steelers

Snaps: 828 | PFF grade: 73.3

Seumalo has been one of the most consistent offensive linemen over the past four seasons, posting PFF grades between 66.3 and 73.9 during that span. This past season, he ranked seventh among guards in PFF pass-blocking grade (76.4) and 27th in run-blocking grade (67.1).

18. QB Malik Willis, Green Bay Packers

Snaps: 97 | PFF grade: 92.3

Willis has logged just 547 career snaps, but he showed enough in his lone start this season to draw significant interest as a free agent. While the sample size is limited, he has produced a 4.8% big-time throw rate against a 1.8% turnover-worthy play rate over his career to date.

19. S Bryan Cook, Kansas City Chiefs

Snaps: 922 | PFF grade: 83.5

Cook ranked fifth among safeties in PFF grade (83.5) in 2025, producing a career year as he heads toward free agency. A reliable tackler, he recorded missed tackle rates of just 5.6% in 2025 and 6.2% in 2024.

20. DI DJ Reader, Detroit Lions

Snaps: 596 | PFF grade: 68.5

Reader is now 31 years old and has not quite matched his peak form from his time in Cincinnati since arriving in Detroit, but he remains an above-average starter at the NFL level. His 68.4 PFF grade ranked 36th among interior defensive linemen this season, and he has never recorded a PFF pass-rush or run-defense grade below 60.0 in any season of his career.

21. CB Jaylen Watson, Kansas City Chiefs

Snaps: 868 | PFF grade: 74.1

Watson posted a career-high 74.9 PFF grade in 2025, a performance that should position him well in free agency. He has improved his PFF grade in every NFL season and limits mistakes, as his 5.8% missed tackle rate tied for ninth in the league this year.

22. ED Boye Mafe, Seattle Seahawks

Snaps: 691 | PFF grade: 70.3

Mafe has developed into a consistent presence on the edge, where he has racked up 146 pressures over the past three seasons — the 31st most at the position. Over the same span, his 41 stops in run defense rank 34th.

23. WR Deebo Samuel, Washington Commanders

Snaps: 740 | PFF grade: 69.4

Samuel appears to be slowing down at 30 years old. His average max speed in 2025 was 19.7 mph, per PFF Game Athleticism score — his slowest year since an injury-impacted 2020 season. He also earned a career-low 69.4 PFF overall grade and averaged a career-low 6.5 yards after the catch per reception. On the positive side, he brought in a career-best 52.6% of his contested targets.

24. TE Kyle Pitts, Atlanta Falcons

Snaps: 963 | PFF grade: 73.6

Just 25 years old, Pitts is set to cash in on a career year. The former No. 4 overall pick seemed to put it all together in 2025 after a string of disappointing seasons, earning his highest PFF overall grade (73.6) since his 2021 rookie campaign. He logged an elite 91.3 PFF receiving grade from Week 13 on, the second-best figure among tight ends.

25. WR Jauan Jennings, San Francisco 49ers

Snaps: 901 | PFF grade: 67.1

49ers general manager John Lynch said the team would “love” to re-sign Jennings, who served as the team's top wide receiver for the second straight season in 2025. The 28-year-old's 83.1 PFF overall grade in 2024 made him a top-15 wide receiver. This year, his 18 contested catches in the regular season were a top-four figure among wide receivers.

26. WR Rashid Shaheed, Seattle Seahawks

Snaps: 929 | PFF grade: 66.4

Shaheed's free-agency stock was already looking solid while he was with the Saints before the trade deadline, but his run of excellence in the postseason for the Seahawks may have raised his price tag. The speedster is a kick-return threat (87.4 PFF return grade, third best) and hasn't dropped any of his 90-plus targets this season.

27. ED Joey Bosa, Buffalo Bills

Snaps: 665 | PFF grade: 74.6

Bosa steered mostly clear of injuries for the first time in a long time in 2025, and he looked more like himself as a result. His 54 quarterback pressures were his most since 2021, and he generated the 19th-best PFF WAR (0.18) mark among edge defenders.

28. QB Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers

Snaps: 969 | PFF grade: 68.0

It's unclear whether Rodgers plans to return for a 22nd NFL season. However, the 42-year-old may be enticed to re-sign with the Steelers, who hired his long-time former head coach, Mike McCarthy, for one more go-around. Rodgers guided Pittsburgh to the playoffs in 2025 but earned just a 68.8 PFF passing grade — his worst mark in a season as a starter. He still showed some pop on deep passes (20-plus yards), logging the 14th-most big-time throws in the NFL on such plays.

29. DI Calais Campbell, Arizona Cardinals

Snaps: 667 | PFF grade: 72.2

Retirement seems to be afraid of Campbell, who has yet to show signs of slowing down through 18 NFL seasons. He has logged 30-plus quarterback pressures in all but two of those years, and his 72.2 PFF overall grade in 2025 made it 15 straight years of topping 70.0.

30. HB Tyler Allgeier, Atlanta Falcons

Snaps: 493 | PFF grade: 71.5

Much has been made of Allgeier's potential to lead an NFL backfield on his own after he played second fiddle, and very well at that, to Bijan Robinson for the past three seasons. His average of 3.1 yards after contact per attempt in that span is a top-30 mark among running backs.

31. HB Javonte Williams, Dallas Cowboys

Snaps: 769 | PFF grade: 75.3

Williams‘ one-year, prove-it deal in Dallas couldn't have landed him in a much better situation. He recorded career bests in rushing yards (1,201), rushing touchdowns (11), yards after contact per attempt (3.56) and several other categories. The 25-year-old has plenty of tread left on his tires.

32. G David Edwards, Buffalo Bills

Snaps: 1,262 | PFF grade: 70.3

Edwards logged a career-high 75.0 PFF pass-blocking grade in 2025 and played 1,000-plus snaps for the second year in a row. The 28-year-old was a sturdy left guard for quarterback Josh Allen over the past two years.

33. T Rasheed Walker, Green Bay Packers

Snaps: 1,139 | PFF grade: 63.0

Walker will need to clean up his run blocking, where he earned no better than 56.3 PFF grade in any of the past three seasons, but the team that signs him (or re-signs him) will look forward to getting a relatively consistent left tackle in pass protection.

Contract projection: Click here to access PFF's full 2026 free agency rankings and player projections.

34. ED Khalil Mack, Los Angeles Chargers

Snaps: 480 | PFF grade: 79.2

A healthy Mack is good for around 50 quarterback pressures and eight sacks per season at this point in his 12-year career — and that's plenty of production for an edge-needy team. His 240 pressures over the past four seasons are the 11th most among all edge defenders. However, Mack is reportedly contemplating retirement.

35. S Kamren Curl, Los Angeles Rams

Snaps: 1,388 | PFF grade: 77.8

The former seventh-round pick parlayed an impressive start to his career with Washington into two more solid years with the Rams. Curl will be only 27 years old for the 2026 season and allowed just one touchdown in coverage this season. His 81.8 PFF overall grade over the past four years ranks 13th among qualifying safeties.

36. HB Najee Harris, Los Angeles Chargers

Snaps: 43 | PFF grade: 81.4

Harris enters free agency for the second straight year, but this time, he's working his way back from a torn Achilles. He didn't get a chance to show much with the Chargers, so his body of work in four seasons with the Steelers — an 86.0 PFF rushing grade and the fourth-most yards after contact in the NFL — will have to suffice.

37. G Alijah Vera-Tucker, New York Jets

Snaps: – | PFF grade: –

A torn triceps closed the curtains on Vera-Tucker's 2025 campaign before it began — the third season-ending injury of his young career. He has still established himself as a promising guard, earning three straight season-long 70.0-plus PFF overall grades and allowing the fourth-lowest pressure rate (2.8%) among guards in 2024.

38. ED Jadeveon Clowney, Dallas Cowboys

Snaps: 372 | PFF grade: 79.2

Playing for his seventh team in eight years, Clowney again showed why he is perenially one of free agency's best value signings. Only Micah Parsons and Will Anderson Jr. topped his 19.1% pressure rate in 2025 with the Cowboys, and he was a top-15 edge defender by pass-rush win rate (16.8%), too.

39. HB J.K. Dobbins, Denver Broncos

Snaps: 341 | PFF grade: 76.8

J.K. Dobbins was excellent through the first 10 weeks of the season, earning an 80.8 PFF rushing grade with 32 missed tackles forced and 21 explosive carries before a season-ending foot injury. He has been consistently effective when healthy, grading above 66.8 in every season with more than 100 snaps while averaging 3.18 yards after contact per attempt for his career. Dobbins also brings strong efficiency and ball security, ranking in the 86th percentile in PFF grade on zone runs. Over his last four seasons, he has logged 448 carries without a fumble, with his most recent coming in 2020.

40. T Jermaine Eluemunor, New York Giants

Snaps: 1,109 | PFF grade: 63.8

Despite a disastrous 2025 season in New York that included the midseason firing of Brian Daboll, Jermaine Eluemunor was a clear bright spot along the Giants' offensive line. New York ranked fifth in PFF pass-blocking grade, with Eluemunor playing a central role. He sits 16th among qualified tackles in pass-blocking grade (76.8) since 2024 and is tied for seventh in pressure rate allowed (4.3%). He has also graded in the 74th percentile on true pass sets and the 79th percentile overall as a pass-blocker over the past two seasons.

41. ED Dre'Mont Jones, Seattle Seahawks

Snaps: 836 | PFF grade: 64.7

Dre'Mont Jones posted a 64.7 PFF grade in 2025 across stops with Baltimore and Tennessee, while setting career highs in sacks (8) and total pressures (51). Since entering the league in 2019, he has been a steady interior pass rusher, ranking in the 56th percentile in PFF pass-rush grade and the 71st percentile in pass-rush win rate. Jones has also been highly reliable as a tackler, never missing more than three tackles in a season and recording just 18 missed tackles on 200 career tackle attempts.

Contract projection: Click here to access PFF's full 2026 free agency rankings and player projections.

42. QB Daniel Jones, Indianapolis Colts

Snaps: 756 | PFF grade: 71.7

Jones' 2025 season opened on a strong note before unraveling down the stretch. He earned an 80.3 PFF grade over his first eight starts with the Colts before dropping to 55.1 from Week 9 through his final game. Jones briefly flashed again in Week 13 against Houston, earning an 84.2 PFF grade against one of the league's best defenses, but his season ended on a low note when he put up a 36.9 grade before suffering a torn Achilles. Jones' broader profile has remained remarkably consistent since 2019, as he has never finished a season below a 63.0 PFF grade or above 78.4. Ball security, however, continues to be a concern. He recorded 18 turnover-worthy plays against just 13 big-time throws in 2025 and has finished with a positive big-time throw to turnover-worthy play ratio only once in his career.

43. HB Rachaad White, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Snaps: 575 | PFF grade: 80.9

White put together the best season of his career heading into free agency, ranking fourth among running backs in PFF rushing grade (87.2). After fumbling multiple times in each of his first three seasons, he cleaned up the ball-security issues entirely in 2025, going without a fumble and recording zero drops on 42 targets. While he doesn't offer much as a true receiving threat, White graded in the 98th percentile on gap runs and the 94th percentile on zone runs, putting strong tape on file in a contract year.

44. WR Romeo Doubs, Green Bay Packers

Snaps: 869 | PFF grade: 74.6

Doubs profiles as a solid No. 3 receiver for most NFL offenses, having earned PFF receiving grades above 70.0 and averaged more than 1.60 yards per route run in each of the past three seasons. He has consistently won at the catch point, hauling in 45 receptions on 91 contested targets since entering the league. Over that same span, Doubs has graded in the 80th percentile against single coverage and the 68th percentile in yards per route run, reinforcing his value as a complementary pass-catcher.

45. TE Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles

Snaps: 856 | PFF grade: 66.7

Goedert never quite reached the true elite tier of tight ends, but he has been one of the league's steadier producers, grading above 70.0 in each of his first seven seasons prior to 2025. His 2025 campaign fit that solid-but-unspectacular mold — 64 catches on 85 targets for 624 yards — though he did post a career-high 12 touchdowns, generating a 135.0 passer rating when targeted and averaging 1.34 yards per route run. Goedert's peak came in 2021 when he earned an elite 90.7 PFF grade and averaged 2.33 yards per route run, and while his blocking remains a limitation, he still profiles as a valuable pass-catching option in the right offense.

46. CB Tariq Woolen, Seattle Seahawks

Snaps: 975 | PFF grade: 59.8

Woolen's time in Seattle has blended high-end ball production with uneven week-to-week play, including penalty issues and late-season role fluctuation in 2024. He has consistently found the football since entering the league, allowing a 76.3 passer rating into his coverage while producing eight interceptions and 20 pass breakups, ranking in the 93rd percentile in forced incompletions. That playmaking has been steady year over year, as Woolen surrendered only three touchdowns in 2025 on 601 coverage snaps and has recorded at least eight pass breakups in every season of his career.

47. DI David Onyemata, Atlanta Falcons

Snaps: 702 | PFF grade: 78.2

Onyemata is entering his age-33 season, but his play remains firmly in the upper tier at the position after finishing eighth among 144 interior defenders in PFF overall grade (78.2). He generated 21 total pressures, including one sack and one quarterback hit, while his 74.2 run-defense grade again ranked inside the top 10 at the position. Across 10 NFL seasons, Onyemata has dipped below a 60.0 PFF grade just twice, making him one of the steadier veteran options at the position.

48. LB Bobby Wagner, Washington Commanders

Snaps: 1,220 | PFF grade: 79.3

Wagner remains a high-performing veteran worth monitoring as he approaches 36, delivering elite production where it still matters most. He was the only linebacker to earn 90.0-plus PFF grades in run defense (90.3), pass rushing (92.4) and tackling (90.5) this season, extending a run of four straight years with a 90.0-plus run-defense grade. Since entering the league in 2012, Wagner has posted an 80.0-plus PFF grade in eight of 14 seasons. In 2025, he totaled 52 defensive stops while missing just eight tackles on 158 attempts.

49. ED Arnold Ebiketie, Atlanta Falcons

Snaps: 394 | PFF grade: 74.9

Ebiketie is hitting the market at the right time on the heels of a career-best year as a pass-rusher. Despite playing only 384 total snaps in 2024, the former second-round pick produced a 73.4 PFF pass-rushing grade and a 16.8% pass-rush win rate. Ebiketie fell a bit out of favor in the Falcons' young pass-rush room, but he profiles as a solid option for teams looking to better get after the quarterback.

50. LB Demario Davis, New Orleans Saints

Snaps: 1,079 | PFF grade: 80.3

Davis is an ageless wonder at age 37. In 2025, he recorded the highest PFF run-defense grade of his career (88.9) while racking up 39 run stops on an 8.2% stop rate. Remarkably, Davis' overall PFF grade has remained above a 73.0 in nine straight seasons, reflecting his consistently standout play.

51. WR Wan'Dale Robinson, New York Giants

Snaps: 977 | PFF grade: 70.2

Robinson flashed when given an expanded role with the Giants in 2025, producing a career-best 1.87 yards per route run while posting a drop rate of just 3.2%, tied for fourth-best among qualified wide receivers. Although his career average depth of target sits at 6.7 yards, that figure climbed to 9.0 last season, reflecting increased downfield usage. Still just 25, Robinson profiles as a capable and reliable slot target.

52. DI DaQuan Jones, Buffalo Bills

Snaps: 581 | PFF grade: 72.0

Jones delivered another productive season as a pass rusher with the Bills in 2025, earning a 72.0 PFF pass-rush grade alongside a 9.3% pass-rush win rate. He has also remained serviceable against the run, posting PFF run-defense grades of at least 63.5 in two of the past three seasons. At 34, Jones brings veteran presence beyond the locker room and continues to offer on-field impact.

53. LB Alex Anzalone, Detroit Lions

Snaps: 1,014 | PFF grade: 67.5

Anzalone has been an anchor of Detroit's defense since arriving in 2021, logging 1,000 or more snaps in three of those seasons. During that span, he has recorded 198 defensive stops and shown improvement as a tackler, missing fewer than 8.5% of his attempts in both 2024 and 2025. At 31, Anzalone can still provide starting-caliber play while bringing leadership and playmaking ability to a new linebacker group.

54. ED Cameron Jordan, New Orleans Saints

Snaps: 629 | PFF grade: 76.0

One of the all-time great Saints, Jordan has slowed somewhat as a pass rusher in recent seasons, finishing with a PFF pass-rush grade below 64.0 in every year since 2023. He remained effective against the run in 2025, however, earning an 82.1 PFF run-defense grade. If he returns for the 2026 season, the eight-time Pro Bowl selection can still provide disruptive play along the defensive front.

55. G Joel Bitonio, Cleveland Browns

Snaps: 1,132 | PFF grade: 70.7

The Browns' offensive line struggled this season, but Bitonio was not the reason. The 12-year veteran remained solid in pass protection, allowing just two sacks across 686 pass-blocking snaps and earning a 75.7 PFF pass-blocking grade. While the 34-year-old's future is uncertain, he would still represent a meaningful upgrade to the interior protection of many offensive lines across the league.

56. T Braxton Jones, Chicago Bears

Snaps: 235 | PFF grade: 55.5

Jones played just 210 snaps in 2025 after suffering a knee injury in Week 4, but he was effective when healthy in prior action. As a starter in 2024, he earned an 80.8 PFF pass-blocking grade and a 70.2 PFF run-blocking grade. While the 26-year-old will need to improve his pressure-to-sack conversion rate, his track record could still warrant a starting opportunity.

57. G Kevin Zeitler, Tennessee Titans

Snaps: 964 | PFF grade: 74.5

After playing like one of the NFL's top guards in 2024, Zeitler proved to be a shrewd signing for the Titans in 2025. The 35-year-old earned a 74.5 PFF grade, including a 75.4 PFF pass-blocking grade. Having posted an overall PFF grade of at least 71.5 in five consecutive seasons, Zeitler remains one of the league's more reliable right guards.

58. CB Mike Hilton, Indianapolis Colts

Snaps: 70 | PFF grade: 60.0

Hilton played just 70 snaps for the Colts during his reunion with defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo this season. He was far more impactful during his time with the Bengals, emerging as one of the league's most disruptive slot corners after totaling 138 defensive stops, tied for the most at the position from 2021 to 2024. As recently as the 2024 season, Hilton led all qualified defenders in PFF run-defense grade (91.7). His health following a shoulder injury will be key, but the 31-year-old could still regain form with another team.

59. DI John Franklin-Myers, Denver Broncos

Snaps: 622 | PFF grade: 61.9

Franklin-Myers has quietly been one of the anchors of Denver‘s defensive success over the past two seasons, generating 95 total pressures prior to the AFC Championship Game. Dating back to 2020, his 300 total pressures rank 21st among all NFL defenders. One of the league's more underrated defensive players, Franklin-Myers could turn that sustained production into a significant contract if he departs Denver.

Snaps: 477 | PFF grade: 56.4

Havenstein appeared in just seven games during the 2025 season after dealing with an ankle injury, but he was more consistent in the years prior. From 2020 to 2024, the Rams' right tackle earned an overall PFF grade of 86.1 along with a 90.2 PFF run-blocking mark. While the 33-year-old has been less effective in pass protection, he could still draw interest as a starting option on the edge.

Snaps: 1,194 | PFF grade: 65.3

Van Roten brings versatility to the market, having logged at least 1,750 snaps at both left and right guard along with 306 at center. With the Giants in 2025, the 35-year-old earned a 70.1 PFF pass-blocking grade and posted a pass-blocking efficiency score of 97.7. At this stage of his career, Van Roten profiles as a reliable interior offensive line depth option.

Snaps: 1,220 | PFF grade: 75.4

Byard has been a stabilizing presence for the Bears since arriving in Chicago. Since the 2024 season, he has produced an overall PFF grade of 78.1 along with an 89.8 PFF run-defense grade. He has also remained impactful in coverage, recording a league-high seven interceptions this season. At 32, Byard stands out as one of the top safeties on the free-agent market due to his consistent playmaking across the field.

63. S Jabrill Peppers, Pittsburgh Steelers

Snaps: 328 | PFF grade: 65.1

Peppers was thrust into an unexpected starting role for the Steelers midseason, earning a 65.1 overall PFF grade across 100 snaps. The former Patriot was far more productive from 2022 to 2024, posting an overall PFF grade of 90.1 with grades above 90.0 against both the run and the pass. Peppers also offers rare versatility, logging at least 935 snaps in the box, slot and at free safety. The question now is whether the 30-year-old is viewed as a defensive starter or more of a special-teams piece, but his recent track record shows he can still contribute at a high level.

Snaps: 696 | PFF grade: 72.6

Gainwell stepped into a larger-than-expected role for Pittsburgh in 2025, producing a career-high 1,023 scrimmage yards while earning a 72.6 overall PFF grade, his best mark since 2021. The former Eagle averaged 3.13 yards after contact as a runner and was efficient as a receiver, averaging 1.44 yards per route run with just three drops. At 26, Gainwell could be positioned to pursue a more consistent role after his breakout season.

65. S Jalen Thompson, Arizona Cardinals

Snaps: 986 | PFF grade: 68.7

A five-year starter in the Cardinals' secondary, Thompson has established himself as one of the more reliable tacklers at the safety position. His missed tackle rate of 6.3% ranks fifth among safeties with 100 or more tackles over the past two seasons. He also took a step forward in coverage in 2025, allowing a passer rating of 98.4 when targeted while breaking up five passes. The 27-year-old has never finished a season below a 64.0 overall PFF grade and could strengthen a wide range of secondaries.

66. QB Russell Wilson, New York Giants

Snaps: 220 | PFF grade: 63.3

After signing with the Giants last offseason, Wilson's stint as the team's starter was brief. Across just three starts, the 10-time Pro Bowler earned a 63.5 PFF passing grade with eight big-time throws and seven turnover-worthy plays. Now 37, Wilson profiles best as a bridge option or depth piece for teams developing a young quarterback.

68. QB Marcus Mariota, Washington Commanders

Snaps: 510 | PFF grade: 71.4

Mariota played a larger role than anticipated this season, filling in for Washington as Jayden Daniels dealt with multiple injuries. The 32-year-old earned a 72.3 PFF passing grade with a 6.9% big-time throw rate, though he also recorded a 4.2% turnover-worthy play rate. Mariota's skill set and experience align well with either another backup role or a short-term starting opportunity in 2026.

Snaps: 1,091 | PFF grade: 42.6

Blankenship was one of the anchors of Philadelphia's Super Bowl run in 2024, earning a 69.5 overall PFF grade, but his performance declined sharply in 2025. His 29.9 PFF coverage grade ranked last among qualified safeties, and he allowed a 116.8 passer rating when targeted. He remained effective against the run, however, recording a 75.3 PFF run-defense grade. The 26-year-old will look for a rebound opportunity and still offers upside due to his strength as a run defender.

Snaps: 1,172 | PFF grade: 74.9

Hawkins was one of the league's most quietly impressive defenders in 2025. His 81.3 overall PFF grade ranked sixth among qualifying safeties entering the AFC championship game, and he also placed second in PFF run-defense grade (86.3) and seventh in PFF coverage grade (79.7). At 28, Hawkins is well positioned to command a lucrative contract whether he remains in New England or hits the open market.

Snaps: 284 | PFF grade: 66.7

Robinson saw a reduced workload after being traded to the 49ers, logging a career-low 212 snaps as Christian McCaffrey‘s backup. Across 95 carries, the former Commander averaged 3.03 yards after contact per attempt and forced 22 missed tackles. With a career PFF rushing grade of 82.7, the 26-year-old could compete for another committee-type role in 2026.

72. S Harrison Smith, Minnesota Vikings

Snaps: 793 | PFF grade: 68.9

One of the premier safeties of his era, a 36-year-old Smith was again effective in 2025 with the Vikings. The six-time Pro Bowler allowed just an 81.0 passer rating when targeted and logged a 67.6 PFF coverage grade, although he missed a career-high 19.4% of his tackle attempts. He will likely be weighing whether to come back for his 15th NFL season, with the prior 14 coming in Minnesota.

73. CB Asante Samuel Jr., Pittsburgh Steelers

Snaps: 264 | PFF grade: 70.1

Samuel didn't play until Week 13 but looked solid enough when he was on the field, earning a 70.1 PFF overall grade on 249 snaps. He has served primarily as an outside cornerback throughout his NFL career, and his play with the Steelers should see him garner more attention when free agency opens.

74. WR Christian Kirk, Houston Texans

Snaps: 523 | PFF grade: 62.1

Kirk's 2025 regular season wasn't particularly impressive, and he posted a career low in yards. However. he had a huge showing on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the playoffs, earning a 91.8 PFF receiving grade and averaging 6.26 yards per route run. He's still good enough to be a strong third option, primarily as a slot receiver, for most offenses in the league.

A regular short-term pickup by teams since leaving the Denver Broncos back in 2022, Risner simply shows up and produces in pass protection. He has yet to have a season where his PFF pass-blocking grade has fallen below 65.0, and his 71.5 PFF pass-blocking grade in 2025 ranked 18th among all guards.

Snaps: 902 | PFF grade: 72.0

It feels like there's only one landing spot for Kelce, and that's back in Kansas City. He's no longer the best tight end in football, but he was still productive enough in 2025. He ranked in the top 25 at the position in yards per route run, PFF receiving grade and receiving yards, and he can be expected to produce like an above-average starter again in 2026.

Snaps: 1,321 | PFF grade: 64.6

Even in the lowest-graded season of his career so far, Brisker notched an average 60.4 PFF overall grade that ranked 61st among safeties to play at least 400 snaps. His first two seasons were his best, and if he can get back to that level, then the team that signs him is getting a player who can play all across the defensive backfield and will be only 27 years old when the 2026 campaign begins.

Washington is undersized at 5-foot-8, and he missed most of the 2025 season with an Achilles injury suffered before the season. However, his 2024 season will intrigue a lot of teams. That year, he spent time in the slot, in the box and as a deep safety and ranked fifth among safeties with an 86.1 PFF coverage grade.

Likely had a down year in 2025 but ranked earned an eighth-ranked 77.1 PFF receiving grade in 2024. It's worth noting that he was likely hindered in 2025 by a foot injury suffered in training camp. Given that Likely will be just 26 years old when the 2026 campaign begins, it wouldn't be surprising to see him have a big market in free agency.

A four-year starter with the Raiders, Parham might not be a Pro Bowl-caliber player, but he's a capable starter on the offensive line. He's still only 26 years old, so there is some upside. At worst, he's a solid floor player who would improve a weak link on multiple offensive lines around the league.

He has racked up 118 pressures from 1,878 pass-rushing snaps throughout his career, and he would make for a solid third interior defender for most teams.

Paye hasn't lived up to his billing as a first round draft pick, earning PFF pass-rush grades below 60.0 in each of the past two seasons. But he is still just 27 years old and has played more than 3,000 snaps in his five-year career, so perhaps more of a rotational role would help him unlock production.

96. TE David Njoku, Cleveland Browns

Snaps: 515 | PFF grade: 55.9

The emergence of rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr., and some injuries, led to Njoku's least productive season since 2019. It has now been multiple seasons since we've seen him at his best. He's still only 29 years old, though, so provided he is healthy, he can be an upgrade as a starter for multiple teams.

Splitting 470 snaps between strong safety and free safety, he earned a 74.6 overall grade and an excellent 86.5 run-defense grade.

Derek Barnett was a useful rotational pass rusher for Houston in 2025, logging 387 snaps — 209 as a pass rusher — and producing 16 pressures, including six sacks and six hits. While his sack production remains volatile, Barnett has finished plays at a high rate, ranking in the 79th percentile in sack rate over the past three seasons. He has also been dependable against the run, earning an 87th percentile run-defense grade and a 67th percentile grade on true pass rushes in that span.

However, he was great in 2023 with an 84.4 overall grade and a 14.4% pass-rush win rate. Teams betting on Ebukam will likely point to his 2021-23 campaigns, in which he collected 45 or more pressures every year.

Rankins' 61.2 PFF run-defense grade also placed in the 73rd percentile at the position. The 31-year-old offers some juice up the middle despite his age.

The former second-round pick played to a 79.4 PFF coverage grade and permitted just 28 yards in coverage across 110 total snaps. McCreary should be an intriguing, young slot corner on the market for multiple franchises.

Wright's production came out of nowhere: He played 1,176 snaps after suiting up on 272 through his first three seasons. The former third-round pick grabbed five interceptions and was good in run defense with a 71.3 PFF run-defense grade, although his 800 yards allowed in coverage were the fifth-most at the position. The 27-year-old could vie for another starting opportunity as he aims to become more consistent and disciplined.

105. TE Chigoziem Okonkwo, Tennessee Titans

Snaps: 667 | PFF grade: 59.9

Okonkwo attracted heaps of attention thanks to a tremendous rookie season, when he produced an 84.6 PFF receiving grade. Although he hasn't quite matched that level of production since, he remains an effective receiver with a career 1.46 yards-per-route-run mark and 5.8 yards after the catch per reception. The former fourth-round pick could infuse some energy into receiving corps around the league with his field-stretching talent.

106. T Braden Smith, Indianapolis Colts

Snaps: 787 | PFF grade: 65.3

Smith has been a bedrock member of the Colts' fantastic offensive line, starting at right tackle for the past eight seasons. He's had more trouble staying on the field over the last three years, but he's surrendered only five sacks in that span. The 29-year-old will hit the market sporting a career 74.5 PFF pass-blocking grade and a 5.9% pressure rate given up.

107. G Ed Ingram, Houston Texans

Snaps: 1,153 | PFF grade: 73.8

The Texans' offensive line made noticeable strides in 2025, and Ingram had a big say in that. The former Viking enjoyed the best year of his career with a 73.8 overall PFF grade and a 79.9 PFF run-blocking grade. While he still has work to do in pass protection — never reaching a 61.0 PFF pass-blocking grade –his work in the run game should be desirable.

108. S Donavan Wilson, Dallas Cowboys

Snaps: 921 | PFF grade: 50.8

Wilson's play dipped in 2025 with a 38.8 PFF coverage grade, as his 78.4% completion percentage against was the eigth-highest for qualified safeties. Still, he was an asset against the run with a 73.9 PFF run-defense grade. The soon-to-be 31-year-old will look to bounce back next season, potentially playing outside of Dallas for the first time in his career.

109. WR Keenan Allen, Los Angeles Chargers

Snaps: 667 | PFF grade: 76.0

Allen didn't miss a beat in his return to Los Angeles, tallying a 76.1 PFF receiving grade with 1.62 yards per route run. One of his fortes remains contested catches, boasting a career 50.5% catch rate on such tries over his illustrious career. The 33-year-old displayed that he's still a viable weapon in 2025, but his market may be constricted — after all, he reportedly only had interest in playing for the Chargers, Rams and Bears last offseason.

110. ED Von Miller, Washington Commanders

Snaps: 420 | PFF grade: 64.4

Miller's jaunt with the Commanders didn't quite go as planned, with the future Hall of Famer accumulating 36 pressures on a 9.5% pass-rush win rate. Additionally, his PFF pass-rush grade on true pass rushes fell to the 38th percentile, and Miller hasn't played more than 450 snaps in five seasons. The 36-year-old will likely be a depth add if he chooses to play in 2026.

111. S Jordan Poyer, Buffalo Bills

Snaps: 494 | PFF grade: 68.6

Poyer's return to Buffalo went solidly, with the veteran securing a 68.6 overall PFF grade and a 15.4% forced incompletion rate. Poyer played 451 snaps as a backup, which yielded a more pedestrian 62.8 PFF coverage grade and a 40th-percentile run-defense mark. The 34-year-old has played all of the last nine seasons in the AFC East, and coming back to either the Bills or the Dolphins as depth could make sense.

112. ED Malcolm Koonce, Las Vegas Raiders

Snaps: 656 | PFF grade: 58.0

After missing the 2024 season with a torn ACL, Koonce wasn't quite as electric in 2025, holding a 59.4 PFF pass-rush grade — although his 14.4% pass-rush win rate placed in the 73rd percentile. Koonce was also solid as a run defender with a 66.1 PFF run-defense grade and 6.8% stop rate. The 27-year-old still has untapped potential based on his 2023 season, but honing it will be key.

113. WR DeAndre Hopkins, Baltimore Ravens

Snaps: 334 | PFF grade: 81.3

Hopkins was responsible for a career-low 330 receiving yards in 2025, but he was actually very efficient with an 82.3 PFF receiving grade. Indeed, Hopkins dropped just one of his 38 targets and caught seven of his 11 contested attempts. While the 33-year-old may not be capable of producing WR1-level volume at this stage in his career, he can play as a sage receiver who thrives in specific downfield roles.

114. WR Jalen Nailor, Minnesota Vikings

Snaps: 659 | PFF grade: 66.3

Playing behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison may not yield many golden chances, but Nailor took advantage in 2025 with a 67.1 PFF receiving grade. He enters free agency with a 7.7% career drop rate, including missing just one of his 49 targets this year. The 26-year-old could seek more WR2 slots, but also can help complete a receiver room.

115. CB Montaric Brown, Jacksonville Jaguars

Snaps: 883 | PFF grade: 72.0

Brown elevated himself during the Jaguars' defensive rise this year, churning out a career-best 74.0 PFF coverage grade with a 73.3 passer rating when targeted. He allowed 50 or more yards four times this year, and that number never exceeded 63 yards in a single game. The former seventh-round pick hits the market at an ideal time, although he'll need to prove that his leap is legit next season.

116. S Geno Stone, Cincinnati Bengals

Snaps: 1,093 | PFF grade: 54.3

After signing a two-year, $14 million deal to join the Bengals, Stone underwhelmed in a big way. Over the last two seasons, his 51.8 overall PFF grade is the third-lowest among safeties to play 1,500 or more snaps, sitting below a 47.5 mark in both coverage and run defense. The 26-year-old will aim to regain the form he relished with the Ravens, when he secured a 72.2 overall grade in 2022 and 2023.

117. CB Trevon Diggs, Dallas Cowboys

Snaps: 460 | PFF grade: 58.7

Diggs' tenure in Dallas came to a crashing halt this year after he played just 424 snaps and recorded a 56.1 overall PFF grade. After signing with the Packers, the former All-Pro saw just 34 snaps — but played to an 82.3 PFF coverage grade in Week 18. Diggs' track record is impressive, but teams will sort through questions about his health and performance moving forward.

118. S Nick Scott, Carolina Panthers

Snaps: 1,186 | PFF grade: 62.3

Scott improved in his second season with the Panthers, finishing with a 62.3 overall PFF grade and a 61.0 PFF coverage grade. Although he's 5-foot-11, Scott isn't afraid to get his nose dirty, with his 68.0 PFF run-defense grade and 22 stops reflective of that. The 30-year-old has never earned above a 66.9 overall grade for a full season, which likely renders him more of a depth or sub-package player in the future.

119. S Andrew Wingard, Jacksonville Jaguars

Snaps: 1,095 | PFF grade: 57.9

Wingard was a reliable contributor for the Jaguars from the 2022-24 seasons, but he declined a bit last year with a 47.9 PFF coverage grade. At the same time, his 80.9 PFF run-defense grade was in the 78th percentile among safeties. While doubts about his pass defense may linger after only his second full-time season, Wingard has put his more established talents on display over the last few years with an 83.2 coverage grade from 2023-24.

120. HB Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City Chiefs

Snaps: 424 | PFF grade: 58.6

Pacheco was a revelation in the Chiefs' backfield after assuming control as a seventh-round rookie in 2022. But since his initial heroics, Pacheco hasn't been quite the same, securing a 68.1 PFF rushing grade over the last two years with only 14 runs of 10 or more yards. The 25-year-old is, at minimum, an intriguing complementary piece for backfields looking for a short-yardage option.

121. LB Eric Kendricks, San Francisco 49ers

Snaps: 223 | PFF grade: 57.6

Kendricks kept on chugging in 2025, playing 172 snaps for the 49ers following a slew of injuries at the linebacker position. He missed only one tackle across four games at the end of the season, but allowed all nine of his targets to be caught. The longtime Viking could join his fifth team in five years in March, where the extent of his anticipated playing time is up in the air.

122. S Tony Jefferson, Los Angeles Chargers

Snaps: 568 | PFF grade: 70.8

Jefferson proved that his hasty retirement wasn't needed yet, earning a 70.8 overall PFF grade with a 72.6 PFF coverage grade for Los Angeles in 2025. Impressively, he saw the field on 533 snaps for the Chargers, which was almost equivalent to his snap total from 2021-24. The 34-year-old can still be a coverage specialist at this junction of his career, boasting a 34.5 passer rating when targeted and picking off four passes last year.

123. G Wyatt Teller, Cleveland Browns

Snaps: 806 | PFF grade: 62.2

Teller is another member of the Browns' aging offensive line on an expiring contract. His performance has dived a bit over the last two years with a 64.1 overall PFF grade and 51 pressures given up. Also, his PFF run-blocking grade has dropped to below 66.0 in both of the last two seasons. The 31-year-old is also coming off a season-ending calf injury suffered late in 2025.

124. S Dane Belton, New York Giants

Snaps: 1,011 | PFF grade: 62.3

Although the Giants invested heavily at safety last offseason, Belton played a career-high 705 snaps, with 124 or more coming in the box, slot or at true free safety. Belton missed a miniscule 4.1% of his tackle attempts, but he allowed a 68.4% completion percentage when targeted. The 25-year-old has a wealth of experience for his age but will likely enter training camp competing for a chance to start.

125. ED Dennis Gardeck, Jacksonville Jaguars

Snaps: 725 | PFF grade: 57.7

Gardeck proved to be a solid rotational edge defender for the Jaguars, tallying 25 pressures on a 15.9% pass-rush win rate while Travon Walker battled injury. The former Cardinal had more trouble dropping out into coverage, where 17 of his 19 targets were caught. The 31-year-old can provide a nice change-of-pace player to teams looking for edge depth.

126. TE Charlie Kolar, Baltimore Ravens

Snaps: 691 | PFF grade: 77.6

Working as the Ravens' third tight end, Kolar still captured eyes with his 2025 performance. Kolar was sound as a run-blocker, ranking eighth among qualified tight ends with a 71.5 mark in that department. Even when called upon as a receiver, he sported a 75.0 PFF receiving grade. NFL teams always covet blocking-oriented tight ends, which means that the 26-year-old Kolar could find a nice raise this spring.

127. DI Da'Shawn Hand, Los Angeles Chargers

Snaps: 549 | PFF grade: 59.2

Hand was a rotational part of the Chargers' defensive line last year, playing 491 snaps but with minimal efficiency. His best strength is in the run game, where he created a 73rd-percentile PFF run-defense grade along with a 6.9% run stop rate. The 30-year-old is best positioned as a primary run-defending interior defender at this point in his career.

128. WR Tyquan Thornton, Kansas City Chiefs

Snaps: 406 | PFF grade: 66.2

Thornton was a regular portion of the Chiefs' early-season receiving corps as multiple players dealt with injury. He posted a career-best 68.4 PFF receiving grade with 1.70 yards per route run, and also separated at a 94th-percentile clip against single coverage. The former Patriot was also excellent on deep targets with a 94.5-plus receiving grade on both intermediate and deep tries. Still just 25, Thornton's elite speed should at least give him another crack within a receiver room.

129. T Trent Brown, Houston Texans

Snaps: 585 | PFF grade: 69.0

Following a string of six straight impressive campaigns, Brown has disappointed over the last few years. This season, he played 547 snaps with the Texans, all of which came at right tackle. Brown allowed only one sack and 12 pressures, but seven were converted into hurries. Entering his age-33 season, the former Patriot is probably most inclined for a depth role at this point in his career.

Snaps: 1,066 | PFF grade: 56.9

Simpson flashed in a huge way with the Jets in 2024 but couldn't follow it up, posting a 56.9 overall PFF grade in 2025. His run-blocking experienced the most dramatic decline, with his PFF run-blocking grade falling over 20 points and his impact block rate sliding over 10%. With five of his six career campaigns ending below a 60.0 overall grade, teams will have to determine how replicable his best season is as he searches for a new home.

131. LB Matt Milano, Buffalo Bills

Snaps: 627 | PFF grade: 46.2

Milano's free agency coincided with the worst season of his career from a grading standpoint, as his 46.2 overall PFF grade was his lowest yet. The veteran was liable in nearly every department, posting sub-50.0 grades in both coverage and run defense. Seeing just 1,164 snaps over the last three years due to injury, the 30-year-old may be past his 2022 peak.

132. C Andre James, Los Angeles Chargers

Snaps: 164 | PFF grade: 46.6

James stayed in the AFC West with the Raiders, although he played just 84 total snaps in 2025 — which resulted in a 46.6 overall PFF grade. With the Chargers in 2024, James was effective in pass protection by allowing two sacks on a 97.7 pass-blocking efficiency grade, but his PFF run-blocking grade sat at just 50.2 that year. The 28-year-old will look to right the ship next season as he seeks to play like his 2023 self.

Snaps: 396 | PFF grade: 66.7

McNichols carried the ball only 104 times with the Commanders, but the results were very favorable. Across that limited sample size, the former Titan earned an 88.2 PFF rushing grade with 3.6 yards after contact per attempt. McNichols' poor pass protection generally keeps him confined to a depth role, but the 30-year-old has proven that he can still bolster a rushing attack.

Snaps: 1,169 | PFF grade: 62.9

Wilkinson played his first extended string of meaningful snaps in two years with the Falcons following Kaleb McGary‘s season-ending injury. His 46 pressures were tied for the seventh-most among qualified tackles, and he also relinquished six sacks. The 30-year-old will hit the market as an experienced and versatile lineman, owning 500-plus career snaps at right tackle, left guard and right guard.

Snaps: 529 | PFF grade: 72.2

Hunt turned back the clock in his second stint with Kansas City, producing an 80.8 PFF rushing grade across the 2024 and 2025 seasons. Although he isn't as explosive as before — totaling just five carries of 15 or more yards in that window — he can still gain new sets of downs, as evidenced by his 105 first downs gained. The 30-year-old should find work in a committee or backup type of opening.

136. LB Quincy Williams, New York Jets

Snaps: 788 | PFF grade: 45.5

Williams‘ three-year extension with the Jets didn't age as desired. Last year, he was responsible for a 45.5 overall PFF grade, with his 35.2 PFF coverage grade the fifth-lowest among qualified linebackers. His missed tackle percentage also increased by 3%, while his run stop rate fell from 8.8% to 7.7%. The 29-year-old has put good tape on display as recently as two years ago, and teams may attempt to recapture that by giving him a flier.

Mostert received only 22 carries with the Raiders in 2025 while working as Ashton Jeanty‘s backup. While he registered a 52.4 PFF rushing grade, 79 of his 104 yards came after contact. Now 33 and toting the ball just 107 times over the last two years, Mostert projects as a backup rusher for 2026 and beyond.

138. QB Tyler Huntley, Baltimore Ravens

Snaps: 197 | PFF grade: 79.5

Huntley played 197 snaps back with the Ravens as Lamar Jackson missed time with injury. The results were good, as Huntley produced a 79.5 overall PFF grade with an 87.7 PFF rushing grade. The 27-year-old is more questionable as a passer with a career 62.5 PFF passing grade, but he's shown the ability to be a solid backup who can produce with his legs. In a quarterback market with limited options, that could produce higher demand than believed.

139. HB Nick Chubb, Houston Texans

Snaps: 368 | PFF grade: 72.1

Chubb rebounded solidly after a down 2024 season, earning a 76.4 PFF rushing grade with the Texans. His long speed and home run ability has dwindled after major leg injuries, accumulating only 14 explosive rushes across the last two years, but he's still evasive — sitting in the 73rd percentile in missed tackles forced per attempt. The 30-year-old could be a frontline part of a running back tandem in 2026.

Snaps: 1,041 | PFF grade: 46.0

Walker's time in Green Bay didn't match his first-round selection with a 46.0 overall PFF grade through four seasons. He particularly struggled in coverage in 2025, permitting 653 yards when targeted — the fifth-most for any linebacker. Teams approaching Walker could be interested in his age (25) and low missed tackle rate, but his collegiate abilities have yet to fully translate at the next level.

Snaps: 515 | PFF grade: 54.6

Austin has failed to capitalize on a thin receiving corps over the last two seasons, amassing a 60.3 PFF receiving grade since 2024. Drops were also a problem this year, as he failed to bring in 8.1% of his tries. Austin‘s quickness and deep-threat ability in the slot could intrigue organizations, but he'll have to refine other parts of his game as he looks to latch on as a consistent option.

Snaps: 112 | PFF grade: 61.8

After operating as a committee member of the Bears' backfield from 2021-23, Herbert has tallied only 52 carries with three teams over the last two years. With the Jets in 2025, Herbert produced a 67.3 PFF rushing grade with only two missed tackles forced.

Once one of football's best tackles, Conklin has unfortunately declined, with injuries taking a toll. His PFF pass-blocking grade fell to a career-worst 44.8 this season, allowing four sacks while playing just 383 total snaps. Now 31 and playing just 1,223 snaps over the last three years, Conklin's career outlook is murky — if he decides to keep playing.

Key's pass-rush production fell even further in 2025, posting a 56.7 PFF pass-rushing grade with a 10.2% pass-rush win rate. Yet Key was solid against the run with a 71.1 PFF run-defense grade, which landed in the 80th percentile at his position. The 29-year-old has generated 30-plus pressures in five straight seasons, although his next destination will likely come in a more limited capacity.

145. S Kyle Dugger, Pittsburgh Steelers

Snaps: 891 | PFF grade: 49.6

Dugger joined the Steelers as a mid-season trade acquisition, although a change of scenery didn't offer tremendous benefits. Dugger sported a 48.3 overall PFF grade in Pittsburgh, and his season-long 41.7 PFF coverage grade was the sixth-worst among qualified safeties. The former Patriot can still make plays as a downhill defender, but his play against the pass could constrain his interest.

Snaps: 512 | PFF grade: 58.3

Slay was ticketed as a major addition by the Steelers but only played 498 snaps before being released. The former Eagle registered a 58.6 PFF coverage grade — his worst since 2019 — and missed 16.3% of his tackles. The 35-year-old was excellent during Philadelphia's Super Bowl run in 2024, but he may have played his last snap in the NFL.

Snaps: 631 | PFF grade: 72.4

Even as a fullback, Gilliam has been a key part of the Bills' offense over the last few years. He peaked in 2025 with a 72.4 overall PFF grade, the best of his career. Gilliam was instrumental as a blocker with an 89.5 PFF pass-blocking mark and a 75.1 PFF run-blocking grade. The second-most-valuable full back by PFF Wins Above Replacement over the last two years, Gilliam is helping keep a unique position alive and well.

Snaps: 551 | PFF grade: 69.8

Joining the Chiefs didn't alter much about Brown‘s performance. Over the last two years, he's earned a 70.2 PFF receiving grade with 37 first downs gained. Although he isn't necessarily an uber dynamic wideout, Brown is reliable, having dropped just two passes since the start of 2024. The former first-round pick projects as a lower-level contributor in a receiving room needing options.

Snaps: 251 | PFF grade: 60.2

Although the Jets invested in Justin Fields last offseason, Taylor still played 251 snaps for New York. Over six games, he tossed two big-time throws and committed seven turnover-worthy plays, good for a 57.6 PFF passing grade. The 36-year-old is seemingly everlasting in the backup role, which he could find once again if he decides to keep playing in 2026.

Waller recorded an 87.6 PFF receiving grade with 1.75 yards per route run and a 135.2 passer rating when targeted, although he played in just nine games while battling a pec injury. The 33-year-old's future is unknown, but he showed capabilities of still being a high-end receiving tight end last year.

151. T Jonah Williams, Arizona Cardinals

Snaps: 612 | PFF grade: 55.4

Following a promising initial season in Arizona, Williams struggled in 2025 with a 55.4 overall PFF grade. The former first-round pick allowed four of his 22 pressures to be converted into sacks, and he finished below the 35th in percentile in both gap and zone PFF run-blocking grade. On top of that, Williams has combined to play just 935 snaps over the past two seasons. The 28-year-old will likely be considered a flier at tackle for teams potentially needing a starter.

Snaps: 80 | PFF grade: 48.4

Pickett underwhelmed in a limited sample size as the Raiders' backup in 2025, registering a 47.3 PFF passing grade with three turnover-worthy plays across just 56 dropbacks. Having attempted just 88 passes over the last two years, Pickett's career has diminished after being a first-round pick just four years ago. The 27-year-old could be the backup on his fourth team in only five career seasons.

153. LB Alex Singleton, Denver Broncos

Snaps: 1,171 | PFF grade: 72.0

Singleton's 2025 season was a remarkable success story. After missing time while undergoing treatment for testicular cancer, the linebacker didn't just return — he delivered. Singleton sported a 72.0 overall PFF grade with an 88.5 PFF run-defense mark, the seventh-best among qualified linebackers. While Singleton has been less effective in coverage, the 32-year-old has been strong against the run throughout his career.

154. WR Brandin Cooks, Buffalo Bills

Snaps: 612 | PFF grade: 57.4

After a short reunion with the Saints, Cooks joined the Bills midseason and was thrust into a borderline starting role. There, Cooks churned out a 63.0 PFF receiving grade with 1.64 yards per route run. Having failed to reach a 70.0 receiving grade in each of the last two years, the 32-year-old represents borderline depth at this point in his 13-year career.

155. ED Preston Smith, Washington Commanders

Snaps: 283 | PFF grade: 66.9

Smith returned to Washington in 2025 and offered occasional impacts. While Smith accounted for 17 pressures, he wasn't efficient with a 57.7 PFF pass-rushing grade, although his 13.3% pass-rush win rate sat in the 67th percentile. Smith projects as run-defending edge rusher depth, earning at least a 64.0 PFF run-defense grade in each of the last eight years.

156. CB Eric Stokes, Las Vegas Raiders

Snaps: 1,037 | PFF grade: 73.6

Stokes took a one-year deal with the Raiders and flourished, notching a career-high 73.6 overall PFF grade. The former Packer dominated in coverage with a 73.5 PFF coverage grade, a 77.2 passer rating when targeted and a 12.0% forced incompletion rate. Still just 26, Stokes could garner a multi-year deal — but he'll have to prove that it wasn't a flash in the pan.

157. CB James Pierre, Pittsburgh Steelers

Snaps: 577 | PFF grade: 86.2

Pierre unexpectedly stepped into a starting role with the Steelers and became a high-end cover option for Pittsburgh. The former undrafted free agent shined with an 88.9 PFF coverage grade across 255 snaps, tallying a whopping nine pass breakups while allowing only 45.7% of his targets to be caught. Teams interested in Pierre will have to weigh how replicable his 2025 results are given his underwhelming past, not to mention playing only 408 total snaps last season.

158. G Zion Johnson, Los Angeles Chargers

Snaps: 1,211 | PFF grade: 56.5

A 2022 first-round pick, Johnson never reached the heights he was expected to achieve in Los Angeles. The former Boston College Eagle produced a 61.5 overall PFF grade across his four years with the Chargers, allowing at least four sacks in every one. The 26-year-old will hope to better translate his talents in 2026, potentially on a short-term deal.

159. G Daniel Faalele, Baltimore Ravens

Snaps: 1,091 | PFF grade: 56.8

Even at a hulking 6-foot-8, Faalele briskly stepped into a starting guard role for the Ravens. However, that transition was a steep learning curve for the former fourth-round pick, who received a 57.5 overall PFF grade over the last four campaigns. Faalele's massive frame will almost certainly warrant a flier, but he's yet to marry his traits and production at the pro level.

160. CB Cobie Durant, Los Angeles Rams

Snaps: 1,087 | PFF grade: 65.5

Durant played a career-high 985 snaps during the Rams' run to the 2025 NFC Championship Game, although his results were inconsistent. While he snagged six interceptions, he also allowed eight touchdowns in coverage, tied for the second-most among any defensive player. Owning a 64.0 overall PFF grade since 2023, the 28-year-old Durant could be a cheap starting option at cornerback.

161. TE Austin Hooper, New England Patriots

Snaps: 730 | PFF grade: 65.3

Hooper's time with the Patriots helped rejuvenate his career. Across two years in New England's tight end-heavy offense, Hooper earned a 72.1 overall PFF grade along with a 73.9 PFF receiving grade. While Hooper has been less impactful as a run-blocker, his receiving prowess is still enough to attract suitors, even at age 31.

162. C Ethan Pocic, Cleveland Browns

Snaps: 835 | PFF grade: 63.8

While Pocic was a stout center for the Browns from 2022-23, his performance waned from 2024-25 with a 65.2 overall PFF grade. At the same time, Pocic's 42 pressures given up are tied for the seventh-fewest among qualified centers. Having played over 800 snaps in each of the last four years, the 30-year-old Pocic could be a veteran center addition for teams seeking a starter.

163. LB Elandon Roberts, Las Vegas Raiders

Snaps: 654 | PFF grade: 57.2

Roberts has leveraged his hard-hitting ability into being one of the better run-defending linebackers in football. Indeed, his 90.0 PFF run-defense grade is the ninth-best among qualified linebackers since 2024, and his 60 run stops are 11th. While Roberts has been problematic in coverage, his downhill skills could help round out a unit.

Snaps: 376 | PFF grade: 77.7

Although Jenkins played just 324 snaps with the Browns, he impressed with a 77.7 overall PFF grade that was buoyed by a 79.1 PFF run-blocking mark. On-field ability has rarely been in question with Jenkins, sitting above a 72.5 overall grade in each of the last four years, but he's played only 2,369 snaps in that span. Turning 28 before the new league year, Jenkins could attract teams who want to take a swing on his talent.

165. S Jonathan Owens, Chicago Bears

Snaps: 341 | PFF grade: 48.6

Owens played only 47 defensive snaps for the Bears in 2025, his fewest since his rookie season in 2020. He underperformed in that very constricted sample with a 48.6 overall PFF grade and a 50.4 PFF coverage mark. But Owens was strong on special teams, as his 90.1 special teams grade was the sixth-best among qualified players. Owens' playing time on defense is tenuous moving forward, but he can still be an asset in the third phase of the game.

Snaps: 18 | PFF grade: 55.6

Garoppolo has appeared on only 84 snaps for the Rams since joining the team in 2024, with his last pass being thrown in Week 18 of 2024. Garoppolo's last starting opportunity came with the Raiders in 2023, where he played to a 65.0 PFF passing grade with 13 big-time throws and nine turnover-worthy plays before being benched. The 34-year-old could compete to start for a team seeking a bridge option in 2026.

167. HB Jerome Ford, Cleveland Browns

Snaps: 298 | PFF grade: 55.4

After accumulating 213 carries in 2023, Ford's workload has fallen over the last two seasons. In the Browns' crowded backfield in 2025, Ford toted the ball just 24 times for 73 yards on a 59.5 PFF rushing grade. But in 2024, Ford was impressive with an 80.3 rushing mark and 3.50 yards after contact per carry. The 26-year-old could be a buy-low candidate for organizations looking for more depth at running back.

Snaps: – | PFF grade: –

Wilkins went unsigned after being surprisingly released by the Raiders before the start of the 2025 season. In his first year with Las Vegas, Wilkins produced a strong 80.2 PFF run-defense grade but appeared on only 246 snaps due to a season-ending foot injury. The 30-year-old faces major questions about his health as he looks to return to the field.

Snaps: – | PFF grade: –

After a promising 2024 season, Onwuzurike missed all of 2025 due to a torn ACL suffered in the training camp. The year before, Onwuzurike secured a career-high 47 pressures on a 66.2 PFF pass-rushing grade, and he also added a 66.5 PFF run-defense grade. While his health will need to be tested, Onwuruzike could be an intriguing find given his age (28) and past production.

170. T Kendall Lamm, Miami Dolphins

Snaps: 59 | PFF grade: 53.5

Lamm played only seven snaps with the Dolphins last season, with six of them coming in the run game. The year before, he was a strong pass protector at both left and right tackle with an 83.1 PFF pass-blocking grade over 336 pass-blocking snaps. Having played over 615 snaps just one time in his career, Lamm will likely find a home as swing depth at tackle.

171. S P.J. Locke, Denver Broncos

Snaps: 505 | PFF grade: 63.7

Part of Denver‘s fearsome defense, Locke tallied a 63.7 overall PFF grade across only 302 total snaps. Locke filled in decently when starter Brandon Jones got hurt, notching a 62.0 overall grade with a 69.3 PFF run-defense mark. The 29-year-old could be a camp flier given his upside as a run-defending safety, though his coverage performance has left plenty to be desired.

172. G Dillon Radunz, Tennessee Titans

Snaps: 764 | PFF grade: 48.5

Radunz's lone season with the Saints was suboptimal, as he recorded a 48.5 overall PFF grade that ranked 59th out of 61 qualified guards. Although his run-blocking was poor, Radunz was solid in pass protection with a 64.3 PFF pass-blocking grade while giving up just one sack. The former second-round pick could net a cheap deal due to his pro experience at four offensive line slots.

173. DI Shelby Harris, Cleveland Browns

Snaps: 597 | PFF grade: 61.9

Harris' production over the last two years has not matched the heights he reached early in his career. Since 2024, Harris has totaled just 40 pressures on a 7.2% pass-rush win rate. At the same time, he's been solid against the run with a 67.4 PFF run-defense grade. If the 34-year-old comes back for another season, it will likely be as a rotational run-defending defensive lineman.

174. WR Olamide Zaccheaus, Chicago Bears

Snaps: 619 | PFF grade: 55.7

Zaccheaus' flashes with the Commanders galvanized a one-year deal with the Bears, but the veteran didn't mirror his past performance. Zaccheaus accounted for a 56.3 PFF receiving grade with 0.92 yards per route run during his stint in Chicago, as he failed to reach more than two targets anytime beyond Week 9. The 28-year-old's short-area receiving ability could still add complementary elements to a receiving room as a WR3 or beyond.

Snaps: 615 | PFF grade: 68.9

After being cut by the Panthers, Thompson reunited with Sean McDermott in Buffalo and performed solidly. Thompson's 72.2 PFF coverage grade was his best since 2021, although his PFF run-defense grade fell to 60.7. Turning 32 in April, Thompson can still constitute part of a starting linebacker corps, although he may not be a primary option anymore.

Snaps: 501 | PFF grade: 67.4

A career journeyman, Tonga settled in nicely to his niche role on the Patriots. The interior defender offered a career-high 17 pressures on a 73.9 PFF pass-rush grade, and he even moonlighted on 18 offensive snaps. The 29-year-old could be given a larger role given his pass-rushing chops from 2025.

The 31-year-old has excelled against the run of late with a 77.0 PFF run-defense grade, but that's come on just 67 run-defense snaps.

Snaps: 801 | PFF grade: 61.0

Mays had his number called in 2025, playing a career-high 793 snaps at center for the Panthers. He was solid as a pass-blocker with a 67.6 PFF pass-blocking grade, and he hasn't allowed a sack in either of the last two seasons. However, he placed in the 20th percentile of negatively graded run-blocking plays last season. The 26-year-old profiles as a versatile lineman who could be unlocked in future years.

179. S Marcus Epps, Philadelphia Eagles

Snaps: 427 | PFF grade: 51.8

Epps returned to the Eagles last year as depth, seeing 308 snaps — the bulk of which came after Andrew Mukuba got injured. While Epps excelled against the run with an 80.9 PFF run-defense grade, his 45.3 PFF coverage grade placed 86th ouf of 99 qualified safeties. The 30-year-old will likely serve as a depth piece in 2026, especially having compiled 484 snaps over the last two years.

Snaps: 1,023 | PFF grade: 52.6

David played arguably the worst season of his career in 2025, finishing with a 52.6 overall PFF grade. He was especially liable in coverage with a 45.1 PFF coverage grade, 85.3% completion percentage allowed and 133.0 passer rating when targeted. Yet David was still solid in run defense with a 66.2 PFF run-defense grade. If the 36-year-old returns, it'll likely be in Tampa Bay, but he may be more of a sub-package option at this stage.

Snaps: 996 | PFF grade: 57.4

Otton has played 3,951 snaps over the last four seasons, the second-most among tight ends. His availability hasn't necessarily correlated with individual success, compiling a 59.7 overall PFF grade with a 58.7 PFF receiving grade. Otton's best usage may be in pass protection, as his 71.3 PFF pass-blocking grade was the sixth-highest among qualified tight ends in 2025.

Bourne returned to the Bay Area in 2025, playing 639 snaps for the 49ers — his most since 2020. The veteran proved solid with a 64.1 PFF receiving grade, but his 15.9% drop rate was the worst among any receiver with at least 50 targets. The 30-year-old can still help fill out a receiver room, but he hasn't been an above-average target in several seasons.

Wylie's Commanders tenure started well in 2023, but his play has since plummeted. Over the last two years, Wylie has garnered a 59.1 overall PFF grade with a 48.8 PFF run-blocking mark. Yet Wylie has been better in pass protection, allowing one sack and just six quarterback hits over the last two years. The 31-year-old has seen over 2,250 snaps at right guard and tackle, but his issues in the run game may be tough to overcome.

However, he's never played more than 373 snaps in a full season. The 27-year-old Uche has potential but will likely be on his fourth team in three years come 2026, yet to find a home or starting role.

The 32-year-old is unlikely to be within a team's top-three receivers but does provide a veteran presence at receiver.

Snaps: 397 | PFF grade: 71.2

Carter's career pattern of alternating production continued in 2025, yielding a 71.2 PFF rushing grade with five runs of 10 or more yards on 100 snaps. He also showed growth as a receiver with a 67.6 PFF receiving mark and 1.18 yards per route run. As alluded to, the big question for the 26-year-old will be consistency, which likely sets him up for a committee or backup type of role.

After two years of starting in Tennessee, Brunskill was a backup in Miami in 2025. He appeared on 176 offensive snaps but underwhelmed with a 60.6 overall PFF grade, allowing three pressures on 49 pass-blocking opportunities. The 32-year-old has suited up at all five offensive line spots, but he's expected to be another depth piece in 2026.

His minimal production matched his career output this far of 0.94 yards per route run and a 60.6 PFF receiving grade. The upcoming 27-year-old former third-rounder will look to break out if he leaves Dallas, especially in pursuit of a larger opportunity.

The ageless wonder Lewis worked his way onto the field in 2025, playing 81 snaps with the Broncos. However, he's been highly ineffective over the last two years with a 53.1 overall PFF grade. If Lewis comes back at age 42, it will presumably be as a practice squad member and/or third-string option.

Paul earned his first starting opportunity in 2025, and it came with mixed results. On one hand, he dominated in pass protection with a 78.2 PFF pass-blocking grade, giving up just 17 pressures and two sacks on 485 opportunities. But on the other hand, he was a liability in the run game with a 23rd-percentile negatively graded run-blocking figure. Still only 27, Paul's work in pass pro should offer another full-time gig with the chance to develop further in the ground game.

Snaps: 202 | PFF grade: 56.9

After three solid years to open his career, Atwell wasn't quite the same player in 2025. His PFF receiving grade fell to 57.3, and his 1.22 yards per route run were also a career low. Likewise, Atwell has played just 630 total snaps over the last two years, largely due to coaching decisions. Atwell's potential is still discernible at 26, but any team signing him will have to reignite his prior play.

Skule not only permitted seven sacks, but also finished in the 36th percentile in negatively graded run plays. Expect the 29-year-old to find himself in a similar backup spot in 2026.

Davis' journey to Miami didn't yield favorable results, as he ended the year with a 51.1 overall PFF grade and sub-55.0 marks in every major category. At the same time, he earned a 74.5 overall grade from 2023 to 2024 with the Jets. That prior body of work should be sufficient to at least earn another shot as a starter.

His best work came against the run, notching a 74.7 PFF run-defense grade with a 7.4% run stop rate. While Holcomb held up in coverage last year (65.6 PFF coverage grade), he profiles as a likely run-defending-oriented linebacker in 2026.

However, Van Noy was good against the run with a 72.5 PFF run-defense grade. If Van Noy decides to keep playing at age 35, teams will have to evaluate how much left he has in his pass-rush skills.

Snaps: 75 | PFF grade: 52.8

Griffin appeared on only 75 defensive snaps in his second stint with Seattle during the team's run to the Super Bowl. Moreover, he didn't play any snaps on special teams. Griffin was below average during his last full-time role with the Vikings in 2024, garnering a 61.6 PFF coverage grade. The 30-year-old may not find any starting slots in 2026 but could be veteran depth.

201. TE Chris Manhertz, New York Giants

Snaps: 426 | PFF grade: 72.7

Manhertz has operated as the Giants' third tight end over the last two seasons, but he's been good in his constrained role. In that window, he's been responsible for a 72.1 overall PFF grade.
