All-Remaining Free Agents Team

This is a great exercise when there's still a month until the NFL Draft. Picking a football from the players that have yet to sign with an NFL team. It's actually the brilliant idea of Around the NFL's Dan Hanzus. He calls his team "the Greybeards." My team is less cleverly referred to as the All-Remaining Free Agent Team.

Offense

WR Michael Floyd
T Ryan Clady
G Jahri Evans
C Nick Mangold
G Chris Chester
T King Dunlap
TE Larry Donnell
WR Anquan Boldin
QB Colin Kaepernick
RB Adrian Peterson
RB Jamaal Charles

Defense


DE Mario Williams
DT Jonathan Hankins
DT Jared Odrick
DE Dwight Freeney
LB DeAndre Levy
LB Zach Brown
LB Gerald Hodges
CB Darrelle Revis
CB Leon Hall
S Jairus Byrd
S Lardarius Webb

This will be a running team. No punting or field goal attempts.

This team might win a game or two. There are some terrific players. Adrian Peterson and Darrelle Revis will be honored in Canton five years after they retire. Arguments can be made that Nick Mangold, Anquan Boldin, and Dwight Freeney should join them. Many on the team are past their best days, that's why they're still unsigned, but I have faith that they still have some gas in the tank. Maybe they'll get the chance to continue their football careers soon.

Update: Moments after seeing his presence on this team guard Chris Chester retired.
