Here is a collection of Android Nougat ROMs for Galaxy S5. Galaxy S5 being a legacy device may be getting official Android Nougat update later or may not even get it at all. But the Android’s open source nature and with the availability of so many Custom ROM options, you will still be getting latest Android updates almost as soon as the source code is released.
For now this list might be have a smaller collection but eventually will be updated according to the availability of new Nougat ROMs. This list will give all available Android *Nougat* ROMs for Galaxy S5. If you are looking for some legacy Marshmallow based ROMs then you may look into the Lineage OS 13 ROMs list or the CM13 ROMs list.
Out of all the Nougat ROMs list, Lineage OS 14.1 ROM is just a new avatar of CyanogenMod 14.1. Further there will be no CyanogenMod 14.1 (UNOFFICIAL or OFFICIAL) development will take place as all of the developers are more or less moved to Lineage OS code base. That’s why the CM based ROMs are marked as *deprecated*.

To install a custom ROM on the Galaxy S5 you need to have a Custom recovery, like a TWRP recovery. Here is how to install TWRP recovery on the Galaxy S5.
Google’s Android is open source but not the Applications and hence all these Nougat Custom ROMs come without any Google Applications installed because of some proprietary apps issue with Google. Although all the ROMs will have link to the Nougat Gapps but for quick access you can get here all the Android Nougat GApps.
This list will be updated when we will have some more Android Nougat Custom ROMs available for Galaxy S5. If you find a custom ROM based on Android Nougat for the Galaxy S5 which is not here then please place a link in the comments section and I will update that in this list of collection.
