The NFL playoff picture is tightening as the regular season comes to a close, with teams like the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles securing their spots. However, injuries have left some teams vulnerable, prompting them to consider veteran free agents who could bolster their rosters for the postseason.

Among the notable free agents are Yannick Ngakoue, recently released by the New England Patriots, and Ezekiel Elliott, who was let go by the Dallas Cowboys. Both players, despite their struggles this season, could provide valuable depth and experience to playoff contenders. Teams like the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles are eyeing these veterans to enhance their chances in the playoffs.
