Ten remaining NFL free agents that could be steals

Nick Mangold

A seven-time Pro Bowler, Mangold has been the most consistently good center in the NFL over the past decade-plus. Despite this, New York decided it was time to move on from the potential future Hall of Famer. What is the Jets’ loss could very well be a solid addition for contending teams out there.

Mangold, 33, missed half of last season due to injury. There’s definitely been a colder-than-expected market for him. That’s primarily due to his age and said injury. Though, it’s important to note that Mangold is just one year removed from earning a Pro Bowl spot and had played in at least 14 games in each of his first 10 seasons prior to last year. Talk about consistency.

As with pretty much everyone on this list, Mangold will only return to the NFL if he were to latch on with a contender. After trading Pro Bowler Jeremy Zuttah to the San Francisco 49ers last week, the Ravens seem to be a logical fit.

The same can be said for the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, both of whom are in need of upgrades at center. It’s just likely not going to be a long-term deal valued at the near $8 million he earned annually with the Jets.
