Some big names remain unsigned late in NFL's odd offseason

Offseason shopping is still in full swing in the NFL.

Even with the status of the upcoming season uncertain because of the coronavirus pandemic, teams continue to tinker with their rosters by adding players they hope will help them win — whenever or if they actually play.

Virtual workouts are being held all around the league, with some facilities beginning to reopen but still closed to coaches and players. General managers work the phones and chat with agents and unsigned players through video conference calls.

During the last few weeks, Joe Flacco (Jets), Carlos Hyde (Seahawks), Frank Gore (Jets), Ty Montgomery (Saints), D.J. Fluker (Ravens) and Prince Amukamara (Raiders) have found new homes.

Other big names remain unsigned and could end up filling major needs for someone. Here's a look at some still waiting to find the right fit — or, in some cases, for quarantine restrictions to be lifted so they can make in-person visits before they or the teams make a decision:

CAM NEWTON, QB

The former Panthers star missed all but two games last season because of a foot injury and

JADEVEON CLOWNEY, DEFENSIVE END

Many believed Clowney would be snatched up quickly by a team desperate for a pass-rushing presence. And for big-time bucks. Instead, the 2014 No. 1 overall draft pick is still unsigned two months later and potentially looking at a one-year, prove-it deal. A return to Seattle isn't out of the question.

LARRY WARFORD, GUARD

After making the last three Pro Bowls, Warford was

EVERSON GRIFFEN, DEFENSIVE END

Minnesota's four-time Pro Bowl pick has 74 1/2 career sacks, including 26 1/2 the past three seasons, but he

LOGAN RYAN, CORNERBACK

Ryan, 29, played his first four NFL seasons with New England, helping the Patriots win two Super Bowls before signing a three-year, $30 million contract that included $12 million guaranteed with Tennessee in 2017. He set career highs with 105 total tackles, 18 passes defensed and 4½ sacks to go along with four interceptions last season, but

ERIC REID, SAFETY

JASON PETERS, LEFT TACKLE

The big man wants to keep going. Peters turned 38 in January and reportedly has told friends he has his sights on playing into his 40s. He had arthroscopic knee surgery that caused him to miss three games in the middle of 2019, but bounced back and was his usual solid self the rest of the way.

DARQUEZE DENNARD, CORNERBACK

It appeared

KELVIN BEACHUM, LEFT TACKLE

Arguably the Jets' most consistently solid offensive lineman during his three seasons in New York, Beachum, who turns 31 next month, has seen a complete overhaul on the O-line by GM Joe Douglas. Beachum's fate with the Jets was sealed after they drafted Louisville left tackle Mekhi Becton with the No. 11 overall pick. He's still a more-than-serviceable starter.

DEVONTA FREEMAN, RUNNING BACK

Freeman, one of the NFL's most productive backs during the 2015 and ‘16 seasons, rushed for 11 touchdowns and over 1,000 yards each year. He hasn’t been quite the same player since, with various injuries limiting him to two games in 2018 and only 656 yards rushing and two TDs in 14 games last year.
