While this year\u2019s class features a mix of starters and depth options, several players have already inked deals with new teams. Here\u2019s a look at the top available centers, the latest signings, and how these moves could impact the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Top Available Centers in Free Agency<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite many signings, a few notable names remain available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Brock Hoffman<\/strong> \u2013 A solid depth option still looking for a new home.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trystan Colon-Castillo<\/strong> \u2013 Has shown potential but remains unsigned.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Michael Dieter<\/strong> \u2013 A versatile lineman awaiting an offer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nick Harris<\/strong> \u2013 An experienced center who could provide a strong backup option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ryan Neuzil (RFA)<\/strong> \u2013 Tendered by the Falcons but can negotiate with other teams.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Robert Hainsey<\/strong> \u2013 Recently linked with multiple teams.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wesley French<\/strong> \u2013 Colts opted to bring him back.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Josh Myers<\/strong> \u2013 Signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal but remains a key name in discussions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ranking the Top Free Agent Centers (Before Signings)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Connor McGovern (New York Jets)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>McGovern has had an up-and-down career. After signing a lucrative three-year, $27 million contract in 2020, he played on a vet minimum deal in 2024. Despite bouncing between teams, he remains a valuable depth piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Evan Brown (Arizona Cardinals)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A versatile lineman who can play both guard and center, Brown has started 56 games over the last four seasons. His reliability made him a hot commodity before he re-signed with the Cardinals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Bradley Bozeman (Los Angeles Chargers)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A dependable presence, Bozeman has played every game since 2019 and excels as a pass blocker. He previously signed a three-year, $18 million deal but was released after one season. He has since re-signed with the Chargers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Coleman Shelton (Chicago Bears)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Shelton spent a year with the Bears after starting his career with the Rams. A strong run blocker, he signed with the Rams in free agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Ryan Kelly (Indianapolis Colts)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A multiple-time Pro Bowler, Kelly has been a force in the league for nearly a decade. Despite an injury-plagued 2024 season, he secured a two-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Drew Dalman (Atlanta Falcons)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Dalman has been a rock for the Falcons since 2022. Though he missed half of 2024 due to an ankle injury, his value remained high, and he signed a three-year deal with the Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Recently Released Centers Entering Free Agency<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Andre James<\/strong> (Raiders) \u2013 Released due to a guaranteed salary clause. Likely to be a high-end reserve rather than a Day 1 starter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>David Andrews<\/strong> (Patriots) \u2013 A nine-year veteran contemplating retirement after injuries limited him to four games in 2024.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garrett Bradbury<\/strong> (Vikings) \u2013 Minnesota moved on from Bradbury after failing to trade him, making way for their new signing, Ryan Kelly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Free Agent Centers Who Have Signed New Deals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Austin Corbett<\/strong> \u2013 One-year extension with the Panthers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Drew Dalman<\/strong> \u2013 Three-year contract with the Chicago Bears.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Evan Brown<\/strong> \u2013 Two-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Robert Hainsey<\/strong> \u2013 Signed with the Jaguars.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ryan Kelly<\/strong> \u2013 Two-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wesley French<\/strong> \u2013 Re-signed with the Indianapolis Colts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Coleman Shelton<\/strong> \u2013 Signed with the Los Angeles Rams.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brady Christensen<\/strong> \u2013 Re-upped with the Panthers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Danny Pinter<\/strong> \u2013 One-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ryan Neuzil<\/strong> \u2013 Tendered by the Falcons but still exploring options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Josh Myers<\/strong> \u2013 One-year, $3.5 million contract.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Will Clapp<\/strong> \u2013 Joined the Saints on a one-year deal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dakoda Shepley<\/strong> \u2013 Signed a two-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Corey Levin<\/strong> \u2013 Signed with the Tennessee Titans.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nate Herbig<\/strong> \u2013 Signed with the Washington Commanders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With teams finalizing their rosters ahead of training camp, the center market is becoming more competitive. While some veteran free agents are still looking for deals, key signings like Ryan Kelly to the Vikings and Drew Dalman to the Bears have shaped the landscape.
