Top remaining NFL free agents: Danielle Hunter, Calvin Ridley headline list

There are still plenty of star-quality players available after a wild opening to the NFL’s free agency period.

Danielle Hunter, Calvin Ridley, Tyron Smith, Stephon Gilmore and Kendall Fuller are among the talented players who hadn’t reached contract agreements as of early Tuesday afternoon.

4. Kendall Fuller, cornerback, Washington Commanders: He’s a versatile defensive back with the ability to play outside, in the slot or at safety.

5. Stephon Gilmore, cornerback, Dallas Cowboys: The 2019 NFL Defensive Player of the Year has played for four teams in the past four seasons but is still among the top guys at his position.
