2026 NFL Draft: Best Undrafted Free Agent Signings

Kansas City Chiefs: Jeff Caldwell, WR, Cincinnati

The Kansas City Chiefs are signing Cincinnati wide receiver Jeff Caldwell, per source. The 6-foot-5 Caldwell ran 4.31 at the NFL Combine and leaped a 42-inch vertical and 11-foot-2 broad jump. The Chiefs are taking a chance on a supremely athletic wideout who must develop the technical aspects of his game.

Chicago Bears: Caden Barnett, Wyoming, OL

The Chicago Bears signed Wyoming offensive lineman Caden Barnett, sources confirmed to SI. Barnett, nicknamed 'The Vanilla Gorilla,' is an athletic and versatile blocker. He'll compete for a role in training camp.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jalon Daniels, Kansas, QB

Former Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels is a competitive player with an energetic spirit. Well-liked by his teammates, he's joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent. Daniels' deal with the Bucs carries a $247,000 base salary guarantee with a $25,000 signing bonus, per Tom Pelissero.

Miami Dolphins: Rene Konga, DT, Louisville

Louisville defensive tackle Rene Konga is a raw prospect that is still scratching the surface of his potential. An athletic specimen with a nasty pass-rush-win-rate, the Miami Dolphins signed him to a deal containing $287,500 in guarantees, sources told On SI. Konga joins a rebuilding roster looking for talents worth developing.

Tennessee Titans: Latrell McCutchin, CB, Houston

The Tennessee Titans did not draft a cornerback. They then pursued former Houston cornerback Latrell McCutchin in undrafted free agency, signing him to a lucrative deal, sources confirmed. The big-bodied boundary cornerback had nine pass breakups this past campaign.

Detroit Lions: Luke Altmyer, QB, Illinois

Former Illinois quarterback Luke Altmyer is joining the Detroit Lions. He's a pro-ready signal caller with a legitimate opportunity to win a job in camp. The Lions lack terrific quarterback depth behind Jared Goff, offering Altmyer a shot to compete for a 53-man roster spot in preseason.

Kansas City Chiefs: Wesley Bissainthe, LB, Miami

The Kansas City Chiefs have a strong record with undrafted free agents. Among their signings is former Miami Hurricanes linebacker Wesley Bissainthe. A three-year starter, he had a career-high 71 tackles this past season. He also projects as a potentially strong special teamer.

Cleveland Browns: Logan Fano, EDGE, Utah

The Cleveland Browns drafted offensive tackle Spencer Fano in the first round. Now, they're signing his brother, Utah defensive end Logan Fano, as an undrafted free agent. What an outstanding story. Fano is a pro-ready defender with desired size and strength.
