Most notable free agent from each NFL team who remains unsigned in 2023

Our NFL Wire editors identified the most notable free agent from each team who remains unsigned.

We’ve reached the dead portion of the 2023 NFL offseason, where teams are wrapping up their offseason programs with mandatory minicamp before breaking for the summer.

As teams ready their training camp rosters, there are still some notable free agents on the open market who could help shore up positions of need. That includes wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney, kicker Robbie Gould and (unofficially) running back Dalvin Cook.

Our NFL Wire editors identified the most notable free agent from each NFL team who remains unsigned (at the time of publication) ahead of training camp.

Panthers carrying 5th-most dead money into 2023 season

The Panthers are currently carrying over the fifth-highest amount of dead money into the 2023 season. Here’s why:

The Carolina Panthers may be carrying around the second-most salary cap space in the NFL right now, but they’re also carrying something else—a load of dead money.

As we enter June, the Panthers are being charged with $51.5 million of dead money for the 2023 campaign. That total ranks fifth in the league.

So, with the help of Spotrac, let’s see how they got to that bulky number.

2023 Panthers free agents who remain unsigned

The Carolina Panthers re-signed two of their own free agents before closing out the month of May—offensive tackle Cameron Erving and guard Michael Jordan. But there remains a handful of the team’s players from the 2022 roster who are currently out on the open market.

Here are those seven free agents . . .

Browns: DTs and pass rushers still available in NFL free agency

The Browns could look for more front-four players. Here are some still on the market.

The Cleveland Browns used two picks in the middle rounds of the 2023 NFL draft to bulk up the front four of their defensive line. First, they selected the big Baylor defensive tackle Siaki Ika with pick no. 98 in the draft, then they went to the edge by selecting Missouri pass rusher Isaiah McGuire in the fourth round.

However, given the nature of the Browns’ putrid run defense from a year ago, could they and defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz still look for added upgrades to the room despite adding six new faces to the roster this offseason?

Here are some interior defensive linemen and edge defenders that are still available on the open market.

11 veteran free agents the Rams should consider signing following the 2023 NFL draft

The 2023 NFL draft has passed and the Rams could still sign these veterans to fill the remaining holes on their roster.

The 2023 NFL draft is now behind us, with the Los Angeles Rams making 14 total selections in the seven rounds. After the draft was completed, the Rams have also proceeded to sign 26 undrafted rookies to deals.

Besides adding first-year players via the draft, the Rams will likely use free agency to shape the rest of their roster this offseason. With the draft passing by, teams in the NFL can now sign veterans without it affecting their compensatory pick status.

So with the Rams having an opportunity to choose from the remaining free agents, here are 11 veterans they should consider signing this offseason to fill the rest of the holes on the roster.

Which defensive tackle could the Browns target next?

The Browns may still be in the market for another defensive tackle. Who are the best still on the market?

They have already added Dalvin Tomlinson, Maurice Hurst, and Trysten Hill at the defensive tackle position in NFL free agency. However, the Cleveland Browns are potentially still in the market for one more sturdy veteran to add to their roster as the defensive tackle market has plateaued a bit.

Lucky for the Browns, there are a handful of veterans who have played valuable football in recent years still on the market. Who are the best remaining defensive tackles still on the market? Here are a dozen names to keep an eye on as free agency continues with the 2023 NFL Draft left less than a month away.

1 pending free agent Chargers could target from each NFL team

Here’s a look at one pending free agent from each NFL team that could interest the Chargers.

The Chargers won’t be as aggressive as they have been in recent years regarding signing free agents.

Even after making moves to get cap compliant before the new league year begins on Wednesday, Los Angeles’ priorities will be to re-sign some of their players and extend Justin Herbert.

After that, they should have some spendings available to sign some low-cost players.

That said, here is one pending free agent from each team in the NFL that could be a realistic target for L.A.

The Chargers won’t be as aggressive as they have been in recent years when it comes to signing free agents.

While they’re cash-strapped, general manager Tom Telesco will likely make some moves to have some spendings available to them so they can sign some low-cost players.

That said, I will list one pending free agent from each team in the NFL that could be a realistic target for L.A.

Next up is the NFC South.

During his introductory press conference on Thursday afternoon, Carolina Panthers assistant head coach and running backs coach Duce Staley gave us a sneak peek into his free agent priority list. Well, it actually wasn’t a list—it was more of a ringing endorsement for running back D’Onta Foreman.

So, let’s keep connecting some dots and make a list of our own.
