Best remaining free agents: Offense
It takes about a week for free agency to lose steam around the NFL. T.O.'s release gave it life again yesterday, but the majority of the best talent available is off the shelves. The remaining players are picked over, but there are still some bargains to be found. Let's look at my top ten offensive players
1. Terrell Owens, WR: Maybe you've heard of him.
2. Lance Moore, WR (Restricted free agent): He'll cost a second-round pick to acquire, but it may be worth it for this Wes Welker clone.
3. Byron Leftwich, QB: The quarterback market has included surprises, like Dan Orlovsky and J.T. O'Sullivan getting jobs before Leftwich. Maybe he's pushing hard for a chance to start.
4. Tra Thomas, T: With Khalif Barnes expected to sign with Oakland, Thomas may be the only starting-caliber tackle left. He's probably only good for another year or two, but there is value here.
5. Ronald Curry, WR: This highly athletic 29-year-old gained 1,444 receiving yards on some terrible Oakland teams between 2006-2007. He could be a dynamic third receiver.
6. D.J. Hackett, WR: The talented former Seahawk can't stay healthy, but he has a high ceiling in a West Coast system.
7. Marvin Harrison, WR: Only makes sense on the Colts; may retire.
8. Kevin Jones, RB: It's hard to tell if this former first-round talent has anything left after multiple surgeries, but he's worth a low-risk gamble.
9. Rex Grossman, QB: One of many first-round quarterbacks looking for work.
10. Bobby Engram, WR: Could still help teams move the chains.
