We're over a month into NFL free agency, and all of the big name, blue chip targets have long since been acquired. Superstars like Darrelle Revis, Ndamukong Suh, CJ Spiller, and Jeremy Maclin have all found new homes. However, a host of quality, talented players remain on the market.
The most desperate teams are usually the ones that strike hot in the opening minutes of free agency. The smartest and most successful teams, however, are usually the ones that know they can add value as the spring crawls along.
Here are five free agents that are still available, for your favorite team or any other.
1. Reggie Wayne
The Colts' legend is 36, and the team doesn't seem to want him back after bringing aboard Andre Johnson to pair with TY Hilton. However, Wayne still has a lot of gas left in his tank, and he's smart, too; don't be surprised to see him excelling as a third down receiver on a good team in 2015.
2. Jake Long
Long has had two ACL tears, but when he's on the field he's one of the best lineman in the sport. He's an injury risk, but would come at a cheap price tag. That would make him a risk worth taking for some teams that struggle to protect their quarterback, like the Eagles and Bears.
3. Greg Jennings
Jennings put up a solid 742 yards on 59 catches with a rookie quarterback last season. But his cap figure was too much for the Vikings to pick up, so they released him to the open market. He's still only 31.
4. Jason Campbell
Campbell spent 2014 on the sidelines while Andy Dalton helmed the Cincinnati Bengals offense, but he still is a quarterback with 133 starts to his name. In an era where having a serviceable back-up is so essential, he'll find a new home fairly soon.
5. Chris Johnson
This running back was largely ineffective in his one season with the New York Jets, but he claims that was because he was misused in schemes, rather than Father Time. The fact that he sustained a gun shot wound this offseason is a big red flag for teams.
