NFL top remaining free agents to watch out for in 2022 ft. Odell Beckham Jr. & Will Fuller
NFL free agency is not only something for the offseason. No, the process continues during the year as well and gets ramped up a notch as the NFL season nears its final months.
Playoff contenders are taking shape, injuries are piling up, and teams are in need of reinforcements. So when it comes to available players, who are the top free agents that fans should watch out for in November and December?
Without further ado, let's dive in.
1. Odell Beckham Jr., WR
Odell Beckham Jr. is going to headline every single NFL free agent list out there. And rightfully so, as he was on his way to being named last season's Super Bowl MVP before an ACL injury knocked him out of the game. The injury put him on a recovery timetable that extended well into this season.
The star receiver is now nearing a return and could be a coup for a contending team in need of receiver help. A team like the Dallas Cowboys could add a dynamic weapon to enhance an already strong unit on offense.
2. Will Fuller, WR
Will Fuller is an intriguing player because he has not played in a full-time capacity since the 2020-21 NFL season. While retirement seems to be his path, he is still only 28 years old and that means teams should be in contact.
Fuller has been linked to the Cleveland Browns for quite a while, especially when Deshaun Watson returns. The two spent several years together with the Houston Texans, with the receiver even posting eight touchdowns in 2020. Cleveland could use the help and will likely do anything Watson wants given their slow start.
3. Ndamukong Suh, DT
Ndamukong Suh played all 17 games last season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, recording six sacks. Yet he entered free agency and is still without a team. At this point, he may limit himself to only the top Super Bowl contenders.
Suh is 35 years old and is a five-time Pro Bowler. Yes, he is past his prime, but he can bring experience to a defensive line rotation.
4. TY Hilton, WR
TY Hilton is yet another NFL receiver on this list. The former Indianapolis Colts star quietly hit free agency this offseason after an injury-impacted season in 2021. He already has a decade in the league, so it may take a fantastic offer to get him back on a team. However, a chance at Super Bowl glory could help sway his decision.
5. Eric Fisher, LT
Eric Fisher is a former NFL No. 1 overall pick who signed a one-year deal with the Colts last year. He went the entire offseason without a new deal and sits on the open market for a team in need of offensive line help. Fisher was a Pro Bowler as recently as the 2020 season and may want one more shot at glory before calling it a career.
