Top 50 Free Agents

The NFL Trade Rumors.co ran it's updated Top 50 Free Agents list over the weekend. Free agency doesn't get a lot of buzz this time of the year. So here's a little buzz.

Rank Player Pos. 2016 Team Age
1 Branden Albert JAC 32
2 Colin Kaepernick QB SF 29
3 Ryan Matthews  RB PHI 29

10 Orlando Franklin G NO 29
11 Ladarius Green TE PIT 27
12 Sam Shields CB GB 29
13 Aaron Williams S BUF 27

41 Dorial Green-Beckham WR PHI 24
42 Rashad Jennings RB NYG 32
43 Kendall Reyes DE KC 27
44 Kendall Langford DE IND 31
45 Sean Weatherspoon LB ATL 29
46 Eddie Royal WR CHI 31
47 Cullen Jenkins DE WAS 36
48 Quinton Patton WR NYJ 27
49 Donald Butler LB MIA 27
50 Eugene Sims DE LAR 31

Colin Kaepernick shouldn't be on this list. He should have a quarterback job somewhere in the league but that sad situation continues to be a black mark on the league. There are some intriguing names on this list. Many would've been "day-one-of-free-agency" targets 2-3 years ago. Now, they are waiting by the phone during the last weeks of August. Maybe they'll get a call soon as players with jobs get injured or falter. Tyson Jackson worked out with the San Francisco 49ers yesterday. Maybe he comes off this list soon.
