Injuries Bite Hard for Top Prospects After Just One Week

Yahoo Sports

The big money has ended. Plenty of veterans are still available.

The first big wave of free agency has ended. The second wave has, too. As the dollars settle on last week's spending spree, plenty of big names are still on the board.

Receiver Stefon Diggs had a very good year in his first season back from a torn ACL, notching his seventh 1,000-yard season. The Patriots opted not to continue his contract, which added him to the group of available players. He remains on the market.

So does receiver Jauan Jennings, who landed at No. 23 on the PFT Top 100 list of free agents. He failed to parlay an unexpectedly productive 2024 into an extension with the 49ers.

The fact that he didn't sign quickly after free agency opened suggests that he wanted more than the market will bear. Receiver Deebo Samuel, No. 29 on the PFT list, also waits for his next team.
