Top three 2024 NFL free agents at every defensive position: Yannick Ngakoue, Justin Simmons best available

NFL free agency is essentially in the rearview mirror as teams depart for the summer. The top players have already signed, and the next crop of free agents have found a home for 2024. There are still some good players available, but the market has significantly dried up until training camp begins. 

Compensatory picks no longer factor into the equation, but some players will wait out offers until training camp starts. Players who should be rostered are still available for the taking. 

These are the top three free agents available at every position on defense. To see the top offensive players still available, click here. 

Edge rusher

The best pass rusher available, Ngakoue is coming off a down season by his standards. He finished with career lows in sacks (4.0), pressures (34) and pressure rate (8.7%), snapping a streak of seven consecutive seasons with 8+ sacks.

Ngakoue signed later in the summer last season, and appears to be doing the same in 2024. He’s still only 29 years old, and a bargain on a one-year deal.
