The free agent market has slowed down considerably since the new league year has started. Teams are now picking through the players who are still out there and looking for good deals. Some players are still asking for too much money from teams, others have injury concerns, and others have perceived attitude problems. Here is a list of top ten players who, for one reason or another, are still out on the market:

10. Jake Long

Long is coming off another torn ACL but has the skill to be a quality starter in this league. Long is good at both pass blocking and run blocking but excels in his run blocking. In 2013 when the Rams ran behind left tackle their running backs had a PFF grade of 16.1. That year he only allowed six sacks, four quarterback hits, and 22 quarterback hurries in 872 total snaps. Again, the key for Long going forward will be how he recovers from this injury.

9. Greg Jennings

Greg Jennings didn’t start the new league year as a free agent, he was cut the day after the Minnesota Vikings acquired Mike Wallace. Although Jennings is a bit on the older side (he will be 32 in September) he still has something to offer teams. He still has some speed left and has reliable hands. He has also been in the league for a long time and would be able to teach some things to a team that has a young receiving corps. Jennings has taken his time signing with a new team (whether that’s his choice or the market playing itself out) but when he does his new team will certainly be acquiring a potentially valuable asset.

8. Red Bryant

Bryant is another player who is certainly in the latter part of his career but can still contribute a great deal to a team. Bryant plays the defensive end position in a 4-3 defense but isn’t your typical end. He can’t be an every down player because he plays a position that is counted on for a pass rush, something Bryant doesn’t consistently have. However, Bryant is a very good run defender and that’s where teams will find their value. He can be of tremendous value for a team who may have a defensive end who specializes in rushing the passer but lacks good run defense.

7. Hakeem Nicks

Nicks had a pretty bad season in 2014. He managed to only catch 38 passes for 405 yards and only four touchdowns. Nicks had a breakout season 2010 with the New York Giants and has shown the potential to be a quality wide receiver is there. What Nicks is going to have to do is take another one-year “prove it” deal like he did last offseason with the Colts and hope he has a better season. Like I said, the potential is there, he just has to go out there and show everyone he can still do it.

6. Denarius Moore

Denarius Moore only played in ten games last season and only caught 12 passes for 115 yards and no touchdowns. Not impressive at all. What Moore has going for him is his age and speed. Moore runs a sub 4.5 40-yard dash and has already shown in his young career that he’s able to contribute at the professional level. In Moore’s first three seasons he was able to catch a combined 130 passes for 2,054 yards and 17 touchdowns. With his speed and ability to make acrobatic catches, he should be able to find a nice spot on a team’s roster.

5. Joe Barksdale

Barksdale is coming off a season where most people think it was much worse than it actually was. While Barksdale allowed seven quarterback sacks, four quarterback hits, and 40 quarterback hurries, not all of them were his fault. He was blocking for two quarterbacks, Shaun Hill and Austin Davis, who held on to the ball slightly longer than most quarterbacks. Barksdale is certainly one of the 32 best right tackles in the NFL right now and kind find himself another starting job somewhere else.

4. Rolando McClain

McClain had quite a rebirth in the league in 2014. He did everything at a high level last season, whether it be in run defense, rushing the passer, or even in pass coverage. He did everything the Cowboys asked him to do. McClain led all qualifying inside linebackers in run stop percentage and third in the league in pass rush productivity. Yet, he still doesn’t have a job. Most teams are likely approaching him with much trepidation due to his past but if 2014 is any indication, he’s a new player.

3. Brandon Spikes

Spikes is an inside linebacker who loves to play downhill against the run and will punish running backs. Where Spikes runs into trouble at is if he gets stuck in coverage at all or is asked to create any kind of a pass rush. However, if he lands on a team who already has an inside linebacker who can do everything and will take any and all snaps in the nickel package, Spikes can have amazing value on first and second downs when he’ll primarily be asked to stop the run.

2. Stefan Wisniewski

Wisniewski is a solid center and is still young. In over 1,000 total snaps this season, Wisniewski only allowed one quarterback sack, three quarterback hits, and 12 quarterback hurries. Out of all the centers in the league, he was third in pass blocking efficiency. While he was extremely proficient in pass blocking, he was even more proficient in the run game. When the Raiders ran behind center, the running backs’ combined PFF (subscription) rushing grade was 3.7, twice as much as anywhere else on the line.

1. Michael Crabtree

Michael Crabtree suffered a major injury two offseasons ago when he ruptured his Achilles tendon. You could easily argue he hasn’t been the same since. However, this will be his second full season after being back from the injury and some experts have said it takes a full season after a player comes back for them to get back into their old form. Despite having a high number of drops last season, Crabtree usually has very reliable hands and provides his quarterback a big, reliable target on third downs. An underrated part of his game is his ability to get yards after the catch and fight for extra yards on every play. While I don’t think Crabtree is fit to be the number one receiver on a team, he would certainly be one of the best second wide receivers on any team.
