Top NFL Free Agents (Defense)

One thing that hasn’t been talked about much is the current free agent system as we know it will end after the 2010 season. It’s very complicated and I am not going to try and cover it, instead I will post a link to a very informative article on free agency. So it’s too early to tell how the upcoming “uncapped” years will play into next year’s contract, what I will predict however is a lot of these top players will be scooped up with huge contracts. The contracts will include large signing bonuses and the beef of the money will extended out well past 2010. So without further ado, I will finish my list of the best NFL free agents for next year, some of these players are signing contracts as we speak, for example, the Giants signed CB Cory Webster last week and the Cowboys just signed RT Marc Columbo. The cream of this crop is DT Albert Haynesworth, who might emerge as the highest paid defensive player in the NFL. Last week I covered the offensive players and this week I will cover the defense.
