Really Good Article About Free Agents - Abbreviated Version

Scramble: Where will these free agents go?

Al Bogdan and Vivek Ramgopal / FootballOutsiders.com

For our final column of the season, we're going to talk about where some key free agents or possible salary cap casualties will end up next season.

Aaron Brooks
Al: He'll be backing up his cousin in Atlanta next season. Matt Leinart and Leigh Steinberg were doing everything but begging the Saints to draft him at number two this past week. Leinart and Steinberg couldn't stop talking about how Leinart would be extremely happy to play for New Orleans and how he would never turn his back on a city that has been hurt by the devastation that Katrina brought to the city. If New Orleans does draft and sign Leinart, there's little reason for them to keep Brooks and the $12 million he is owed over the next two seasons.

Vivek: I'm not as quick as Al to jettison Brooks from New Orleans, at least this winter. Keeping Brooks gives the Saints some time to bring along Leinart — whether that is one game, four games or a full season.

RE: Really Good Article About Free Agents

I think what was said in reference to Leinart is very promising. It almost implies that he would consider it an honer to be the face of a franchise that has gone through so much difficulty.

I wonder who will be the first with a "Well, what is he supposed to say? It's only February" response.
