# Gregg Rosenthal: Rosenthal unveils his ranking of the top 101 free agents of 2026, headlined by Malik Willis at No. 1, George Pickens second and Jaelan Phillips third, and running all the way down to Jadeveon Clowney at No. 101. He also expects Quincy Williams to sign in Tennessee, thinks Wyatt Teller will start somewhere in 2026, and wouldn't be surprised if David Onyemata is picked up by Dennis Allen's defense. **Claimed:** Feb 20, 2026 **Pundit:** Gregg Rosenthal — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/gregg-rosenthal **Outlet:** Around the NFL (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/around-the-nfl-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/nfl-daily/the-top-101-free-agents-of-2026 4 checkable claims — 2 trade and signing calls, 1 depth chart call and 1 top player list — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.
