2026 NFL free agency tracker: Von Miller to join Cowboys; four of top 100 free agents still unsigned
Several notable veterans remain on the market as the NFL offseason continues through the summer months
The top 3
- Top 3 Free Agent Signings Leading to Super Bowl Wins: Deion Sanders' moves to the 49ers (1994) and Cowboys (1995) resulted in back-to-back Super Bowl victories, while Peyton Manning (2012) led the Broncos to a Super Bowl win, and Tom Brady (2020) immediately delivered a Super Bowl LV title to the Buccaneers.
- Teams with Super Bowl Runs After Aggressive Free Agent Spending: While overspending in free agency can be risky, the 2026 New England Patriots spent over $364 million and the Seattle Seahawks over $205 million, both reaching the Super Bowl, demonstrating that aggressive, strategic spending can lead to immediate success.
- Highest-Paid Free Agents Delivering Super Bowls: Peyton Manning's $96 million contract with the Broncos (2012) and Milton Williams' $104 million deal with the Patriots (2025) are examples of highly compensated free agents who significantly contributed to their teams' Super Bowl appearances or wins.
