Free‑agency ledger: big names unsigned

Aaron Rodgers remains one of the top unsigned names on the market as of this week, listed among ESPN’s best remaining free agents. (espn.com) The 42‑year‑old finished the 2025 season with 3,322 passing yards and 24 touchdowns for Pittsburgh, and multiple outlets report he has not yet decided whether he will play in 2026 while staying in contact with the Steelers. (nfl.com) Deebo Samuel is also still available after a 2025 campaign that produced 72 receptions for 727 yards and five touchdowns, leaving him on the open market entering free agency’s later waves. (espn.com) Contract evaluators put Samuel’s market value near $15.8 million and national outlets have repeatedly listed the Giants, Broncos, Panthers, Falcons and Vikings among his likeliest landing spots. (sportingnews.com) The Colts removed their biggest offseason question by re‑signing Daniel Jones to a reported two‑year, $88 million deal that includes roughly $50 million fully guaranteed at signing after the team had placed the transition tag on him. (espn.com) Indianapolis also locked up Alec Pierce on a multiyear deal (reported as four years, roughly $114–116 million), a pair of commitments that come while the Colts enter the draft without a first‑round pick and will shift the club’s draft plan toward later‑round needs. (nfl.com) The Saints signed Travis Etienne Jr. to a four‑year, $52 million contract, a move New Orleans framed as bringing a Louisiana native home and one that has prompted league coverage about Alvin Kamara’s future and a reduced urgency to draft a feature back.
