Normally, one wouldn’t expect any real talent to be available on the NFL free agent market a few weeks before training camp begins.
However, as of right now, there are a number of players available who are viable players, if not outright stars, and are just waiting for a team to sign them.
Insider Dov Kleiman posted a list on Twitter of just a few of the currently available free agents, and there are some serious talent on that list.
Some of the NFL free agents are still available:
R.B. Dalvin Cook
WR DeAndre Hopkins
QB Carson Wentz
CB Eli Manzana
WR Julio Jones
OT Taylor Lewan
L.B. Will Compton
OL DJ Fluker
RB Ezekiel Elliott
WR Jarvis Landry
C.B. Marcus Peters
QB Matt Ryan
LB Kwon Alejandro
WR Kenny Golladay

Topping the list is running back Dalvin Cook, who made the Pro Bowl by rushing for more than 1,100 yards in each of the past four seasons.
Many feel that he will end up signing with the Miami Dolphins, especially since he is originally from Miami, but the Denver Broncos have also been linked to him.
Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, a five-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro First Team selection, is also available after the Arizona Cardinals released him earlier this offseason.
He has reportedly met with the Tennessee Titans and New England Patriots, but no decision appears to be imminent.
Also, a three-time Pro Bowl running back named Ezekiel Elliott is available after seven seasons as the lynchpin of the Dallas Cowboys’ offense.
He appears to be on a slow decline, but if he accepts a diminished role or even a backup spot, he could bring a lot of value to some team.
Another interesting running back who is available and still appears to be viable is Kareem Hunt, who led the NFL in rushing yards as a rookie and recently became a free agent.
