Top 10 Free Agents (Not included any of the veteran stars who are in the pool but may have 1-2 years left - they are all good but you need to decide if you need 2-3 year player or one who can anchor for 5 plus years)
1) Thomas Starner - OC he is true center... only knock is his strength (78 which nothing to be shy off) but he makes it up with smarts and discipline plus good stat to show his performance on the field too. He will be anchor of the line for team that signs him but will not be cheap as he will get maximum teams trying to sign him.
2) J. Cox, CB - He is star and only reason here is due to some salary cap management for the former team and his lack to killer speed but he is total package who can lead the secondary for some young team..... he will not come cheap but will be good addition to team.
3) S.Espy, DE - He is star .... perfect LDE for any team... he will cost premium.... but he is monster who can collapse any pocket..... so get him and plug him on the line and he will not disappoint you.
4) Edward Peres - DT/DE - He is true DLine with good acceleration and decent strength.... put him as LDE and he will perform even better once he loose the weight. He will not be cheap but will be 5 year starter and good performer to lead the D-Line
5) Billy Becker, SS - He is not going to thrill you due to his lack of speed but he has good game time speed and can help team as the good hitting safety who will not be glamorous but will do his job.... he will 100% bring all he has to field and will be good contributor to some team.
7) R. Swader,LB - He is non glamorous .... no speed.... but true gutty player who will put all on field and produce.... he should be good SLB who will cover and produce week in week out for a team.
6) D.Williams, SS - He lacks speed but makes it up with great acceleration... he is great player overall who will just keep making play after play..... media will never glorify but opposing coaches and QB's know and they always steer away from him. He will be great addition to right team.
8) Chris Moore - Knock on him is the he is slow but i feel he is been played out of position... try him as WLB/LDE and he will produce ..... dont break the bank but decent contributor
9) Steve Heaton, RG or Heath Husman, LG - This is true toss up and depend on what you play ... but if you want mauler who is good run blocker go for Steve but if you want overall decent LG than go for Husman ... frankly both are liability and one should not break the bank to sign them but they can be decent adds
10) Some Veteran who are just too good..... will be 2-3 year rental with may be 1 year starting capability left but they are good to be left out of the list...
R. Bourdon, CB - He is aging veteran but he is monster or island by him self... 23 INT in last 2 years.... he will aid some team to make the playoff or deeper push ..... but he will not be cheap... as i am sure there will be bidding war for him.
N.Course, RB - He is playmaker and constant producer .he can single hand lead the Rushing attack ....
R. Boiling, WR/RB/KR/PR - he is true team leader and he will make any team better period.
J..Jafferson, RB - He is just pure RB who will make your team better....
T.White, CB - He is good coverage CB who can also be moved in to be starting FS ... great leader...
R. Hamlin,CB - Never got his due as leader but great producer who is going to make some team happy to be on their roster.
****** This is solely one GM's view ... so use it accordingly but wanted to point out some good players who can help team rebuild .....
******** Please spend wisely dont mortgage your teams future for short term gain....
Good Luck all..... lets get those phone ringing....... needs to go as i have FA on the line :)
