Three best NFL free agents over 30 years old

3. Riley Reiff, OT

Another consistent and reliable player is longtime NFL tackle Riley Reiff.

Reiff was with the Bengals in 2021, appearing in 12 games. Looking at his career, Reiff is good to miss a game or two per season but has been largely reliable his entire career.

He also has position versatility, being able to play both tackle spots.

I think Reiff can start for a few teams, but he may not sign until an injury pops up for a team.

Reiff turns 34 during the 2022 season, so still not exactly that old for a tackle by any means.

In 711 offensive snaps for the Bengals this season, Reiff got called for just one penalty and allowed four sacks, both respectable numbers.

In 2020, Reiff’s PFF grade was a solid 71.4 as he allowed just one sack over 1,003 offensive snaps played.

The offensive line NFL free agents are largely still very quality. Reiff is a part of that. Look for Reiff to probably sign with a team on one year deal soon after the NFL Draft or when a team suffers an unfortunate injury.
