Perfect landing spots for the 10 best remaining free agents
We are now into the second wave of NFL Free Agency, and these 10 players could be perfect fits for the right team.
Most of the big money has been spent in the NFL’s Free Agency period, but the second wave of signings can often be just as impactful. Players slip through the cracks for a variety of reasons, creating value opportunities for smart organizations.
FanSided has taken a look at the remaining free agents and found the perfect fit for ten of the best players left on the open market. Let’s start with former Seahawks’ offensive tackle Germain Ifedi.
10. OT Germain Ifedi
Perfect Fit: Arizona Cardinals
The best way to help a young quarterback is to bolster the offensive line, and the Arizona Cardinals could use some help up front. Arizona is expected to grab a tackle in the draft, but they do need an insurance policy in case that pick isn’t ready to start in Week 1.
One of the best options out there is Germain Ifedi, who isn’t an elite tackle but can be a serviceable starter at right tackle. Ifedi would give the Cardinals stability at right tackle and an insurance policy if whoever they draft needs more time.
9. TE Jordan Reed
Perfect Fit: Dallas Cowboys
The market has virtually dried up for Jordan Reed, which isn’t a surprise given his injury history. Reed has barely played for the Washington Redskins over the past few years due to injuries, leaving him in need of a one-year prove-it deal to rebuild his value.
The best place for that to happen is with the Dallas Cowboys, who could use an extra body at tight end with Jason Witten off to Las Vegas. Reed would be a low-risk move with massive upside if he can stay healthy, potentially giving Dak Prescott a huge weapon over the middle.
