PFW’s 10 free agents to watch
Nov. 13, 2007
Not all free agents are created equal. In the cutthroat world of the NFL, some are looked on as franchise cornerstones, while others are merely footnotes on a transactions page. From athletic marvels to legal deviants to consummate professionals, no two players offer an identical package. As voted on by the PFW editors, here are the 10 most intriguing free agents-to-be, all of whom bear following as the season progresses.
1. WR Randy Moss, New England Patriots
New England won’t shell out top dollar for Moss, but he may decide to remain with the Pats, regardless.
2. SS Bob Sanders, Indianapolis Colts
Look no further than a healthy Sanders as the biggest reason for the Colts’ defensive turnaround.
3. DT Albert Haynesworth, Tennessee Titans
Vilified in 2006 for cleating Andre Gurode’s face, Haynesworth is now abusing O-linemen the right way.
4. CB Asante Samuel , New England Patriots
Immune to being franchised again, Samuel will have a hoard of suitors longing for his signature.
5. LB Lance Briggs, Chicago Bears
Equally abusive to ballcarriers and automobiles, Briggs has been better than teammate Brian Urlacher in ’07.
6. RB Michael Turner, San Diego Chargers
LaDainian Tomlinson’s understudy is too explosive to remain a No. 2 option in San Diego.
7. OG Alan Faneca, Pittsburgh Steelers
Faneca didn’t get the extension he was seeking in Pittsburgh, so it’s nearly certain he’s gone in 2008.
8. TE Dallas Clark, Indianapolis Colts
The versatile Clark is a better bet to receive a long-term deal in Indy than teammate Bob Sanders.
9. LB Terrell Suggs, Baltimore Ravens
Despite sagging sack numbers, Suggs is on pace to set a career high in tackles.
10. CB Nnamdi Asomugha, Oakland Raiders
Rarely tested by opposing quarterbacks, Asomugha has yet to nab an interception after eight picks in ’06.
