Top 10 free agents on the market after roster cuts
#6 - David DeCastro, G
Speaking of great offensive linemen available, how is DeCastro still a free agent? The former Pittsburgh Steelers guard has been a model of consistency over the last decade, starting at least 13 games every season since 2013.

At the age of 31, DeCastro is no long-term solution, but his quality as a pass blocker can be really useful for contenders and teams with a rookie quarterback who needs to be protected.
#5 - Rick Wagner, OT
Yes, you guessed it, another veteran offensive lineman who's still a free agent, God knows why.
Wagner is a solid player who's coming off an above-average season with the Green Bay Packers, and he was only released for cap purposes. Any team with a rookie quarterback should look at him, even if it's just a short-term fix.
#4 - Benardrick McKinney, LB
The Miami Dolphins traded for McKinney at the start of the offseason and then released him during the final cuts. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but at the end of the day, a quality veteran is available on the market for what would be a small price.
McKinney was selected to the All-Pro (2016) and the Pro Bowl (2018) during his time with the Houston Texans. He's coming off a shoulder injury that kept him out for most of the 2020 season, but the free agent should have no problem returning to those levels.
