Aaron Rodgers continues to keep football fans on the edge of their seats, wondering when he will make a decision on his playing future. Just kidding, we have better things to do right now (like planning summer vacations, or wishing we were still on one!).
However, the frontman for the 2025 NFL offseason's lamest storyline isn't the only notable veteran player still available via free agency. Think your team needs an experienced wide receiver? Amari Cooper and Keenan Allen surprisingly are unsigned. As are safeties Justin Simmons and Julian Blackmon. With many players you've heard of still available (for the right price!), Paste BN Sports' Tyler Dragon explores the best landing spots for the top 10 remaining free agents.

9️⃣4️⃣ days until kickoff of 2025 NFL season ⏳
There are fewer than 100 days until the 2025 NFL season opens with the Kickoff Game between the Dallas Cowboys and defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 4.
With 94 days to go until the 2025 season opener, here's a look at the greatest-ever NFL players to wear No. 94:
- DeMarcus Ware: Ware was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2023. A vital cog on the Denver Broncos' Super Bowl 50-winning team, Ware twice led the league in sacks and had eight double-digit sacks seasons over his 12-year NFL career.
- Cameron Jordan: The eight-time Pro Bowler who has registered six double-digit sack seasons for the New Orleans Saints is a sure-fire Hall of Famer when he calls it a career.
- Charles Haley: Disruptive defensive force for five Super Bowl-winning teams – he was the first player to collect five Super Bowl rings. Haley was a 2015 Hall of Fame inductee.
- Chad Brown: Hall of Very Good player was a standout linebacker in the 1990s for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks.
- Dana Stubblefield: Won Defensive Rookie of the Year honors in 1993, won a Super Bowl with the San Francisco 49ers during the 1994 season and earned Defensive Player of the Year honors in 1997.
NFL classics: Straight from the YouTube algorithm 🏈🎞️
This is where we reprise some NFL lore and recall classic, memorable moments from yesteryear.
While we're on the number 94, let's turn back the clock to 1994, which was the NFL's 75th anniversary season.
Some notable things that happened that season:
- An absolutely loaded San Francisco 49ers team boat raced the San Diego Chargers in Super Bowl 29. You will not see this one getting replayed on "NFL Classics" on NFL Network.
- 49ers WR Jerry Rice set the record for most career touchdown receptions on "Monday Night Football."
- The Phoenix Cardinals changed their name to the Arizona Cardinals.
- This was the Raiders' final season in Los Angeles.
- The two-point conversion finally was adopted by the NFL.
- And, the salary cap came into effect this season.
