13. Matt Milano (LB)
Matt Milano Free Agent Profile
- Free Agent Type: UFA
- 2025 Team: Bills
- Age: 31
- Experience: 9 Years
A former First-Team All-Pro, Matt Milano stayed healthier in 2025 (12 games), but his trademark sideline-to-sideline range has waned after a gruelling series of injuries. He isn’t the every-down eraser he used to be, but in a league desperate for functional linebacker play, Milano still makes sense given his high football IQ.
1. Joey Bosa (EDGE)
Joey Bosa Free Agent Profile
- Free Agent Type: UFA
- 2025 Team: Bills
- Age: 30
- Experience: 10 Years
While he may no longer be the relentless, every-down terror we saw during his prime, Joey Bosa continues to prove he can still deliver game-altering splash plays. The veteran edge rusher actually led the entire league with five forced fumbles last season, despite playing a somewhat rotational role in Buffalo. Even amid recent whispers that he might be considering retirement to focus on his golf game, Bosa is an incredibly intriguing situational pass-rusher for any contender willing to manage his reps and unleash him on obvious passing downs.

2025 Season NFL Stats
- 5 sacks
- 17 tackles
- 5 forced fumbles
2. Taylor Decker (LT)
Taylor Decker Free Agent Profile
- Free Agent Type: UFA
- 2025 Team: Lions
- Age: 32
- Experience: 10 Years
After a distinguished decade protecting the blindside in Detroit, Taylor Decker suddenly hit the open market this spring when he requested his release rather than accept a substantial pay reduction. While 2025 game film showed signs of physical decline against bend-heavy edge rushers, capable offensive tackles remain incredibly scarce.

2025 Season NFL Stats
- 14 games started
- 893 snaps
3. Kevin Zeitler (RG)
Kevin Zeitler Free Agent Profile
- Free Agent Type: UFA
- 2025 Team: Titans
- Age: 36
- Experience: 14 Years
Kevin Zeitler is now 36, yet he remains incredibly reliable. While Zeitler's 2025 pass-blocking success rate of 92.4% was his lowest in five years, the 14-year veteran is still playing at a high level.

4. Haason Reddick (EDGE)
Haason Reddick Free Agent Profile
- Free Agent Type: UFA
- 2025 Team: Bucs
- Age: 31
- Experience: 8 Years
The past two seasons for Haason Reddick have been disappointing, but he does have a four-year run of double-digit sacks on his resume. At this stage of his career, Reddick is best utilized as a high-upside situational specialist who can still overwhelm tackles with his elite get-off.

2025 Season NFL Stats
- 31 Total Tackles
- 2.5 Sacks
- 1 Forced Fumble
- 1 Pass Defense
5. Bobby Wagner (LB)
Bobby Wagner Free Agent Profile
- Free Agent Type: UFA
- 2025 Team: Commanders
- Age: 35
- Experience: 14 Years
Even as he enters his age-36 season, Bobby Wagner continues to defy expectations. The future Hall of Famer recorded 162 tackles for the Commanders in 2025, becoming just the third player in NFL history to surpass 2,000 career combined tackles. Wagner no longer possesses the elite sideline-to-sideline speed of his prime, but his unparalleled instincts and locker-room leadership make him an ideal veteran for a championship contender.

2025 Season NFL Stats
- 162 Total Tackles
- 4.5 Sacks
- 2 Interceptions
6. Cam Robinson (LT)
Cam Robinson Free Agent Profile
- Free Agent Type: UFA
- 2025 Team: Texans/Browns
- Age: 30
- Experience: 9 Years
Once a highly touted first-round talent, Cam Robinson still finds himself on the open market after a turbulent 2025 season bouncing between the Texans and Browns. While Robinson's consistency has wavered over the years, finding a battle-tested left tackle with nearly a decade of experience is an absolute rarity at this stage of the offseason.

2025 Season NFL Stats
- 92.1% pass block win rate
7. Mekhi Becton (G)
Mekhi Becton Free Agent Profile
- Free Agent Type: UFA
- 2025 Team: Chargers
- Age: 27
- Experience: 6 Years
The mammoth 6-foot-7, 363-pound lineman is searching for a new home after the Chargers opted to release him in March to clear necessary cap space. Injuries and scheme fits have unfortunately defined Mekhi Becton's career thus far, and his brief stint in Los Angeles was a massive disappointment. Still, you cannot teach Becton's sheer size and power at the point of attack. If a team utilizes a gap-heavy blocking scheme, the former Louisville standout could be a fascinating lottery ticket for a front office willing to gamble on his elite physical traits.

2025 Season NFL Stats
- 91.2% Pass Block Win Rate
- 63.4% Run Block Win Rate
8. Jonah Williams (RT)
Jonah Williams Free Agent Profile
- Free Agent Type: UFA
- 2025 Team: Cardinals
- Age: 28
- Experience: 7 Years
Jonah Williams comes with a durability asterisk, and that is the main reason he is still sitting here. When healthy, though, Williams has proven to be a capable starting tackle. He makes sense as a high-reward, "prove-it" signing for a contender looking to bolster their offensive line depth before training camp kicks off.

2025 Season NFL Stats
- 90.0% Pass Block Win Rate
9. Donovan Wilson (S)
Donovan Wilson Free Agent Profile
- Free Agent Type: UFA
- 2025 Team: Cowboys
- Age: 31
- Experience: 8 Years
Physical, downhill safeties with real starting experience have value. The coverage questions around Donovan Wilson are fair, but if a defense lets him play closer to the line of scrimmage, he can still bring tone-setting tackling and veteran toughness.

2025 Season NFL Stats
- 71 Total Tackles
- 2 INT
- 5 PD
10. Marshon Lattimore (CB)
Marshon Lattimore Free Agent Profile
- Free Agent Type: UFA
- 2025 Team: Commanders
- Age: 29
- Experience: 8 Years
A four-time Pro Bowler, Marshon Lattimore struggled through nine games last season, posting career-low coverage metrics before suffering a torn ACL. A transition to a zone-heavy scheme on a low-risk, incentive-laden contract might be the exact recipe needed to revive his career.

2025 Season NFL Stats
- 27 Total Tackles
- 1 INT
- 7 Passes Defended
11. Tyreek Hill (WR)
Tyreek Hill Free Agent Profile
- Free Agent Type: UFA
- 2025 Team: Dolphins
- Age: 32
- Experience: 10 Years
The Dolphins released Tyreek Hill in February after his 2025 season was cut short by a devastating knee injury suffered in Week 4. Now 32, Hill’s market will hinge largely on medical evaluations.

2025 Season NFL Stats
- 21 receptions
- 255 yards
- 1 TDs
12. Austin Johnson (DT)
Austin Johnson Free Agent Profile
- Free Agent Type: UFA
- 2025 Team: Jaguars
- Age: 32
- Experience: 10 Years
A classic two-gapping run stuffer, Austin Johnson won’t generate much pass-rush pressure, but for undersized defensive fronts that get gashed on early downs, the 314-pounder is the exact heavy-handed space-eater to target on a veteran minimum deal.
13. Matt Milano (LB)
Matt Milano Free Agent Profile
- Free Agent Type: UFA
- 2025 Team: Bills
- Age: 31

A former First-Team All-Pro, Matt Milano stayed healthier in 2025 (12 games), but his trademark sideline-to-sideline range has waned after a gruelling series of injuries. He isn’t the every-down eraser he used to be, but in a league desperate for functional linebacker play, Milano still makes sense given his high football IQ.
