One player that hasn't drawn that interest however is Nick Cousins, who remains a free agent after proving in 2023/24 that he is the dirtiest player in the league.

For Zach Wilson, life in the NFL has been a real roller coaster ride of disappointment. Drafted second overall in the 2021 Draft by the New York Jets, the former BYU Cougar was supplanted as the starter in the "City That Never Sleeps" when the team signed Aaron Rodgers.
