The 2024 NFL season will be here in roughly a week, as NFL teams have cut down their rosters to 53 players and are assembling practice squads for the year ahead.

While a lot of good players have made NFL rosters, some have been cut and must now find new homes for the 2024 season.

There really are still some good veterans still available as free agents right now, and we've decided to go through and pair them with teams we feel could use them.

Let's go through these 15 options and match them with their best fits, including a new quarterback for the New York Giants, a home for Kadarius Toney and a new receiver for the Atlanta Falcons.

QB Ryan Tannehill: New York Giants

The Giants are in trouble if quarterback Daniel Jones plays in the regular season like he did during the preseason. Brian Daboll enters his third season with the Giants with definite pressure to get wins, and that will be tough sledding with Jones under center if this is their reality. Tannehill might not be as good as he was in his second wind with the Tennessee Titans at this point, but the team should at least see if he'd be an upgrade. The NFC East won't be easy this fall, but that's no excuse to trot out bad quarterback play if Jones struggles. Adding Tannehill to the quarterback room feels like a smart way to have insurance at worst and a new starter at best.

WR Jamal Agnew: Atlanta Falcons

The Falcons only have five wide receivers on their 53-man roster, including rookie Casey Washington who might be inactive for the season as he develops for the future. Agnew is one of the best return artists in the game, and it's a bit surprising to still see him available with the league about to install the dynamic kickoff format from the XFL. Atlanta could use more juice on special teams and on offense, where Agnew could play a role in the passing and ground game.

WR Kadarius Toney: Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders should keep Toney in the division and give him a chance to prove Kansas City wrong. He remains an effective returner on special teams and could factor in to the Las Vegas offense as a unique gadget player. Toney might not be a monster in the passing game, but there is a role for him somewhere in the NFL. The Raiders feel like an ideal landing spot, as the team needs some added depth at the wide receiver position and another option in the return game.

TE C.J. Uzomah: Cincinnati Bengals

Sometimes it's good to go home. Uzomah should with the Bengals' practice squad and ramp back up to back to helping quarterback Joe Burrow in the passing game. The last time Uzomah was catching passes in a Cincinnati uniform, the team made the Super Bowl. We wonder if he would go right back to where he left off in a familiar offense with heightened quarterback play.

CB Desmond King: Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys lost Pro Bowl cornerback Daron Bland for an extended period with an injury, so Dallas might not hurt to look out in the free agency pool for secondary help. If the team wants its incumbent players to man the corner spots on the outside, King is a steady veteran slot cornerback with ball-hawking prowess who could slot in right away. It'd be a good fit for both sides.

S Kareem Jackson: Jacksonville Jaguars

Jackson has remained remarkably durable and consistent throughout his career, entering his 15th season in the NFL. He was cut by the Buffalo Bills but could still likely provide sound veteran play for any team with a need at safety. The Jaguars fit the bill here, as Jackson would be a nice fit in defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen's system, particularly as a dime safety. Jackson could go to a playoff contender in the Jaguars and help out at a position of need.

CB Caleb Farley: Carolina Panthers

The Panthers claimed a handful of cornerbacks off waivers on Wednesday, strongly hinting at uncertainty at the position. None of them have the upside that Farley does, who has struggled with injuries throughout his three-year career but still has a ton of untapped potential. Giving Farley a fresh start on the practice squad in a place with ample opportunity like Carolina would be smart.

RB Matt Breida: Cleveland Browns

With Nick Chubb still healing from his 2023 ACL tear, the Browns need extra help in the backfield. While the team may bring back Dont'a Foreman after cutting him earlier this week, maybe consider signing him and Breida and seeing which one makes the biggest impact on the field. If Cleveland is going to be a contender this year, its offense will have to consistently run the ball. Breida could help after his reunion with the San Francisco 49ers was cut short. He's still an option for a committee.

T David Bakhtiari: Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs should be the Super Bowl favorites until another team proves otherwise, but the team's situation at left tackle remains a bit perilous. Second-round rookie Kingsley Suamataia may well be the heir apparent at the position, but having him start 17 games and the playoffs to push for a three-peat feels like an avoidable risk. Bakhtiari is the proven veteran the Chiefs should take a look at, even if he's still not willing to play on turf surfaces. Suamataia could still get some starting reps this year with Bakhtiari taking the home games and away grass games, and we're sure the former Packers starter would play on whatever surface was necessary for a Super Bowl push.

CB Adoree' Jackson: Houston Texans

This is nothing against second-round rookie cornerback Kamari Lassiter, who could wind up being a strong starter for the Texans one day in the secondary. However, Jackson could upgrade the cornerback spot for Houston opposite Derek Stingley Jr. and give the Texans yet another formidable starter on defense. For a team trying to make a real push for the AFC title in quarterback C.J. Stroud's second season, adding Jackson would be a nice get at this point in the offseason.

DE Yannick Ngakoue: Indianapolis Colts

While the team does have rookie pass-rusher Laiatu Latu waiting in the wings, losing pass-rusher Samson Ebukam for the season was a tough blow for a Colts team that is trying to make it to the playoffs. Why not bring back Ngakoue, who had 9.5 sacks for Indy defensive coordinator Gus Bradley in 2022? This feels like an easy move for the Colts to make to bring back a player familiar with their scheme who can come off the bench and provide valuable pass-rushing snaps.

WR Michael Thomas: Denver Broncos

Broncos coach Sean Payton and offensive assistant Pete Carmichael oversaw the best stretch of Thomas' career with the New Orleans Saints, and it's very possible that a down season in Denver could prompt the team to trade wide receiver Courtland Sutton by the NF: trade deadline. If rookie quarterback Bo Nix hits the ground running and the Broncos look legit, they'll need more help at receiver to make this season as good as it can be. Either way, Thomas makes too much sense to reunite with his old Saints coaches. His health is just what it is at this point, but managing his snaps in a comfortable offense could provide Thomas with the best path to continue his career.

G Halapoulivaati Vaitai: Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens are taking a risk with starting second-year guard Andrew Vorhees on the left side of the offensive line, and they'd be wise to add a meaningful veteran option as insurance with Super Bowl aspirations in the air. Luckily for Baltimore, the team has a knack for adding veteran players during this time of the year, which is what Vaitai represents. He could start in a pinch for the Ravens and man the left guard spot, as he's coming off a solid season with the Detroit Lions. Even if he's just one of the best backup guards in the NFL, Vaitai could provide Baltimore a lot of value.

S Micah Hyde: Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles have one of the better rosters in the NFL, but the team could use a bit more help at safety. Hyde has some of the best experience of any free agents out there at the position, and he's got plenty of playoff reps from his days with the Buffalo Bills. On a one-year rental, the Eagles could do a lot worse than by signing Hyde to join their defensive back room.

T D.J. Humphries: New Orleans Saints

The Saints have a major question mark on the offensive line with how 2022 first-round tackle Trevor Penning will hold up as a starter this season. If New Orleans wants to give rookie tackle Taliese Fuaga reps on the right side of the line and let Penning serve as the swing tackle, signing a reliable veteran like Humphries would be a savvy move for the team to make. Maybe the jury isn't out on Penning just yet in New Orleans, but if it is, signing Humphries is a smart way to address it.
