Biggest 3 names still in the free agent market

It has been a wild first three days of NFL free agency. While the new league year began on Wednesday, the legal tampering period started on Monday. In those first 72 hours, there were numerous trades and multiple free agents came off of the market by agreeing to contracts with new teams.

While many of the most covered and coveted free agents are off the board now, there are still some very high-quality players still available. Betting markets have been at a fever pitch, and the best offshore football sportsbooks have some bigtime money coming in during the start of NFL Free Agency.

Quarterback Kyler Murray

On Wednesday, the Arizona Cardinals formally released quarterback Kyler Murray. He hits the market with two Pro Bowls under his belt and seven seasons of experience.

While he is widely expected to sign with the Minnesota Vikings, he is also keeping his options open.

What’s more, whatever contract Murray signs this season is going to be a one-year deal. The teams he is meeting with now will also have a chance to sign him next off-season if they do not land him this time around. If he is able to re-establish himself wherever he goes in 2026, he could be the most sought-after quarterback on next year’s market.

Left tackle Rasheed Walker

For weeks, many believed that former Green Bay Packers left tackle Rasheed Walker was going to be one of the hottest names on the free agent market. However, it has been more than three days and he has not found a new home.

While Walker struggles in run defense, he has proven in the past that he is a more than capable pass protector. What is more, he has stayed healthy over the course of his career. Just 25 years old, he can be a long-time building block for any NFL team.

A former seventh round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Walker was forced into starting duty in 2023 when David Bakhtiari went down with a career-ending knee injury. Walker held the job in Green Bay since that time, though the Packers’ selection of Jordan Morgan in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft signaled that he would not be retained by the team.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers

Will he retire or will he come back for another season? That is the question that has surrounded Rodgers for the last several years dating back to the end of his time in Green Bay.

The fact of the matter, though, is that he still played at a relatively high level in 2025 with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Should he want to come back for another run in 2026, the Steelers would obviously be interested, especially since they have hired his old head coach in Green Bay, Mike McCarthy.

But there are a handful of other teams that may be in need of a starting quarterback for a year, and Rodgers has to be considered one of the better ones on the market until he officially takes his name off of it.
