Lets face it, he aint no Roaf.

There is literally a dozen FA tackles, that are as good or better than Bushrod, on the market this year.

I'd like to see that list. The 1st list I saw has Bushrod rated the number 1 free agent tackle in the entire league.

2013 NFL Free Agent Tracker

In the list you linked, he's listed number one in alphabetical order.

I used PPF's ranking. As papz pointed out the other day, they're not perfect and their rankings can be subjective but I think it shows there are quite a few good offensive tackles on the market this season. Hopefully, that will drive the market price down.

No, its not in alphabetical order, sort of. The top section lists the top 6 Free-agents at that position, then the next section is everyone else in alphabetical order...

The PFF list you linked is for both LT and RT and is ranked based on their 2012 performance. Some have less than 3 or 4 games.

According to Saints GM Mickey Loomis, re-signing unrestricted free agent left tackle Jermon Bushrod will be the biggest challenge facing the Saints front office this offseason, per Sheldon Mickles of the Baton Rouge Advocate.

“It’s going to be subject to what his perceived market is and what we’re able to do. He’s the No. 1 tough deal,” Loomis said of Bushrod.

As thing stand right now, the Saints are projected to be over the cap by $14.7 million next year (NFL Cap Space), so they’ll have to make some serious adjustments in the coming months if they hope to retain Bushrod.

The good news for the Saints is that there are a number of a quality offensive tackles on the market this year, which should really help to bring down the price of some of these players like Bushrod.

We have Bushrod ranked as the No. 28 best available player on our Top 50 Free Agents list.
