Best fits for big-name NFL free agents

Making a list of the best remaining NFL free agents in May is like trying to serve an ice cream sundae for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving. It's the wrong time of year, no one's hungry and there's almost nothing left to put on it.

There are some interesting names still looking for NFL work two months after free agency began and a week after the draft. And while the timing may seem weird, the calendar actually has some relevance here. Starting in the second week of May, free-agent signings no longer count against teams' compensatory pick formula for next year.
