The newcomers that arrived on their respective teams during the first major waves of free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft have settled into their new environments and will now spend the coming weeks gearing up for their debut seasons in new uniforms. As teams introduce their rookies to the pros and weave in their veteran pickups, they also continue to look to improve on the periphery. Not every roster hole was filled in March and April, after all, and there is a notable advantage to signing free agents after the NFL Draft: They no longer count against the NFL's compensatory picks formula.
That resulted in a slight uptick in the spring, but most of the post-draft signings will continue to trickle in this summer as still-unsigned vets start finding new homes during training camp. Each of the top 36 players on Pete Prisco's annual free agent ranking has signed, but there is still plenty of quality talent available as the NFL calendar moves through its quietest months. Sunday Aug. 16, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Von Miller is signing with the Cowboys.
Miller, 37, is a Texas native, and the Cowboys had been looking to bolster their pass rush. Miller's 138.5 career sacks are most of any active player and tied with former teammate DeMarcus Ware for ninth-most all time. An eight-time Pro Bowler, Miller is coming off a nine-sack season with the Commanders, though he ended up playing much more than even he expected due to injuries around him at pass rusher.
In Dallas, Miller joins an EDGE unit that included first-round rookie Malachi Lawrence, 2025 second-round pick Donovan Ezeiruaku and trade acquisition Rashan Gary, among others. Miller could slot into a role similar to that of Jadeveon Clowney's last year. We are keeping track of every top 100 signing below.
