Most of the top free agents have signed contracts with new teams and even some of the 2nd tier free agents have signed. So the question is, can we still fill our needs with what's left? We can, but we may have to overpay. Check out the list of what's still out there (using the rankings from ESPN) Starting with offensive line, seeing how that was SUPPOSED to be a priority.
Offensive Tackle
1. Jon Runyan (Eagles) - Will be 33 this year and he wants to be paid, but is still a damn good OT.
3. Tom Ashworth (Patriots) - 28 years old, and is a pretty good player.
4. Brad Hopkins (Titans) - Will be 36 this year, but is still a good tackle, has a nice mean streak in him too.
5. Mike Pearson (Jaguars) - 26 years old, has had problems staying healthy, but is a very good athlete.
6. Anthony Clement (49ers) - Will be 30 this year, but is a good run blocking tackle.
7. Ephraim Salaam (Jaguars) - Will be 30 this year, and is more of a depth player.
Offensive Guard
1. Vince Manuwai (Jaguars) - 25 years old, Is a restricted FA and would cost a 3rd round draft pick but is worth it.
2. Reggie Wells (Cardinals) - 25 years old and is a up and coming player (RFA), but the Cardinals would most likely match the offer.
3. Stephen Neal (Patriots) - Will be 30 this year, but is a solid guard and would help improve this young OL.
4. Derrick Dockery (Redskins) - 25 years old, is a road grader and has good footwork. Could turn into a solid guard in the future.
5. Matt Stinchcomb (Buccaneers) - 28 years old, if he can stay healthy, he is a good player.
Center
1. Jeff Mitchell (Panthers) - 32 years old, is a pretty good player, but is slowing down.
2. Mike Flanagan (Packers) - Will be 33 years old, is a solid center and would be a good player to mentor a rookie or Duke Preston.
3. Seth McKinney (Dolphins) - 26 years old, is a solid center, but is coming off a season ending injury.
4. Melvin Fowler (Vikings) - 26 years old, can move to guard in a pinch, does a good job at center.
Defensive Tackle
2. Grady Jackson (Packers) - 33 years old, is starting to fade, but is still a solid run stuffer.
3. Ron Edwards (Bills) - 26 years old, Is a solid run stopper, but has problems staying healthy
4. Lance Legree (Jets) - 28 years old, is more of a depth player, but could be a solid NT.
5. Lional Dalton (Chiefs) - 31 years old, Is a good two gap run stopper, but tends to wear down towards the end of the game.
Safety
1. Tank Williams (Titans) - 25 years old, very physical player, who is good at run support. Can play over the top in a Cover 2 scheme, but is often late breaking to the ball.
2. Tebucky Jones (Dolphins) - Will be 32 years old, is slowing down and not as physical as he used to be.
3. Derrick Gibson (Raiders) - 26 years old, Is a tough, physical player versus the run, but he is coming off a season ending injury.
4. Joseph Jefferson (Colts) - 26 years old, has good size and good running ability, and has good range, is capable of playing over the top in a Cover 2 scheme.
5. Idrees Bashir (Panthers) - 27 years old, is a strong sure tackler. He has adequate range in Cover 2 and can run with most tight ends and backs in man-to-man coverage.
