5 best NFL free agents still up for grabs featuring Odell Beckham Jr. and Todd Gurley

5 Best available NFL free agents

#3 - OL Mitchell Schwartz

There are several free agents who could help out on the offensive line, but Mitchell Schwartz is among the best of the bunch. He is currently recovering from back surgery but is reportedly close to full health again.

He would perhaps already be signed if it weren't for the injury.

Mitchell Schwartz has always been an excellent blocker. He played on the offensive line for both the Cleveland Browns and Kansas City Chiefs, demonstrated versatility and durability.

If he is fully recovered from injury, he shouldn't be on the list of free agents much longer.

#2 - QB Cam Newton

Cam Newton was one of the most surprising cuts prior to the start of the 2021 NFL season. The New England Patriots named rookie Mac Jones their starting quarterback and decided to release Cam Newton rather than keep him on their roster and he remains one of the top available free agents.

Cam Newton is past his peak years but is still an effective player. His arm leaves more to be desired at this point in his career, but he is still a dominant rusher from the quarterback position.

A team with injuries at quarterback, or one that wants to create special offensive packages for his talents should seriously consider signing Newton.

#1 - WR Odell Beckham Jr.

One of the best of all available free agents is also one of the most recently added to the list. Odell Beckham Jr. was recently released by the Cleveland Browns after the former star wide receiver was unable to provide any consistent production.

His relationship with Baker Mayfield appears to have suffered a bit as time went on.

Odell Beckham Jr. is still a talented wide receiver with deep threat abilities. In the right situation, he can still be a serious weapon for an offense.

Playoff contenders searching through free agents for an offensive edge could consider signing Beckham for the stretch run.
