NFC Offseason Ledger

NFL Free Agency officially opened last Wednesday afternoon. Most of the top free agents found new teams or re-signed with their old teams before then. That's how it's been since the league instituted the "legal tampering" window six years ago. The free agency pickings were getting slim before the weekend. There's still some talent out there. Ndamukong Suh, Bashaud Breeland (if he can pass a physical), Terrelle Pryor, Jonathan Hankins, Eric Reid, Morgan Burnett, and Kenny Vaccaro. Actually, the safety market hasn't really been touched. There might even be some hidden gems out there. After some of the dust of more than five days of frantic free agency spending here's a look at the NFC Free Agency Ledger.
