NFL Free Agency: Top 5 Offensive Players Remaining

We are well into NFL free agency with dozens of moves already completed, however, there still remains plenty of offensive talent on the market.

The initial wave of NFL free agency is over but there still remains plenty of drama.

To say that the 2022 NFL offseason has been unpredictable would be quite an understatement. There have now been 10 head coaching changes this year, the latest the surprising retirement of Bruce Arians in Tampa Bay and Todd Bowles promoted to take over.

There have been some huge trades. Quarterback Russell Wilson is now with the Denver Broncos. Wide receivers Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill and now members of the Las Vegas Raiders and Miami Dolphins, respectively. And a few NFL clubs have spent their share of money trying to get better.

Meanwhile, there is still a lot of talent available to be signed. Here’s a look at five standout offensive players that are currently on the open market.

Top 5 Offensive Players Still Available

5. TE Rob Gronkowski (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)

He appears to be contemplating his football future. And common sense indicates that is the prolific tight end returns to the field, it would be for a third season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and friend Tom Brady. Rob Gronkowski seemingly never drops a pass. There are 621 career regular-season grabs, 92 for touchdowns. And in 22 postseason outings, 15 of his 98 receptions resulted in scores.

4. WR Jarvis Landry (Released by Cleveland Browns)

Kevin Stefanski’s Browns have a new starting quarterback in Deshaun Watson (when will he take the field?) and a new standout wide receiver in talented Amari Cooper. Meanwhile, five-time Pro Bowler Jarvis Landry comes off a year in which he managed season lows in game played (12) and receptions (52). The eight-year veteran figures to find a new home sooner than later.

3. T Daryl Williams (Released by Buffalo Bills)

The defending AFC East champions have done some reshaping of both their offensive and defensive lines. This offseason, Buffalo released guard Jon Feliciano and right tackle Daryl Williams. The former latched on with the Giants and former Bills’ offensive coordinator/turned Big Blue head coach Brian Daboll. In two years with Sean McDermott’s club, Daryl Williams started every game for the team.

2. WR Julio Jones (Released by Tennessee Titans)

Injuries hampered him during his final year with Atlanta and his only season in Nashville. But the key here may be the fact that wide receiver Julio Jones, who missed eight regular-season games with the Tennessee Titans this past year returned to play in the Titans’ playoff matchup with the Bengals. The seven-time Pro Bowler has 879 regular-season receptions, 61 for scores, in 11 NFL campaigns.

1. RB Melvin Gordon (Denver Broncos)

The one-time first-round draft choice of the Chargers spent the past two seasons in the Mile High City. Melvin Gordon has always had a nose for the end zone and in each of his two years with the Broncos, he scored 10 total touchdowns. Rookie Davonte Williams proved to be a big-time find for Denver a year ago so Gordon, who has totaled 10-plus TDs in five of his eight NFL seasons, could wind up elsewhere soon.
