Torrey Smith reportedly on the outs in San Francisco | ProFootballTalk

Possible vertical threat for Brees? Torrey is a fast guy that's for sure.

We all know the top tier FA agents people want

Who are the 3/4th tier FA that could be worth a look,depending on price

A few that interest me

Chris Thompson (RFA), RB, Redskins. Age: 26.
Chris Thompson has been one of the NFL's better third-down backs over the past couple of seasons. Though he doesn't carry the ball very much, Thompson caught 49 passes in 2016.

Rex Burkhead, RB, Bengals. Age: 27.
Rex Burkhead is a solid, pass-catching back who was given a chance to shine when Giovani Bernard was knocked out with an injury. He took full advantage of it, snatching four receptions in some games.


Andre Ellington, RB, Cardinals. Age: 28.
'Member when Andre Ellington was seen as a great, young running back for the Cardinals? Ellington was fantastic, but hasn't done much the past two years. However, he's been stuck behind David Johnson and Chris Johnson on the depth chart. He caught 46 passes in 2014, so perhaps he can serve as a third-down back for some team.


James Starks, RB, Packers. Age: 31
Ronnie Hillman, RB, Chargers. Age: 25.
Justin Forsett, RB, Broncos. Age: 31

Very cheap only,kick returner low roster WR
Cordarrelle Patterson, WR/KR, Vikings. Age: 26.
It's difficult to grade Cordarrelle Patterson. On one hand, he's been an absolute failure as a receiver. He was a first-round pick from the 2013 NFL Draft, and he just set a career-high in receptions with only 52. On the other hand, Patterson, just 26, still has tons of potential, and he's also a dynamic kick returner.


Torrey Smith, WR, 49ers. Age: 28.
It was obvious Torrey Smith was going to be a bust signing when he left a perennial playoff contender, taking the money and going to one of the worst organizations in professional sports. Smith was horrible, logging 53 receptions in two years. Granted, he had horrible quarterbacks throwing the ball to him, but his heart and effort were lacking. Smith could rebound in a new home, but I have to wonder if he has mentally checked out of football.

Robert Woods, WR, Bills. Age: 25.
Robert Woods has yet to live up to his second-round billing. He caught 10 passes for 162 yards in a game versus Seattle this past season, but has done nothing otherwise. He's still only 25 in April, so perhaps he'll be able to improve in the near future.

Same as Paterson
Ted Ginn, WR/KR, Panthers. Age: 32.
Ted Ginn eclipsed the 50-catch barrier for the Panthers this past season and still served as a dangerous kick returner. However, Ginn turns 32 in April, so he doesn't have much time remaining in the NFL.


Justin Hunter, WR, Bills. Age: 26



Vernon Davis TE





Luke Joeckel, G/OT, Jaguars. Age: 25.
I'm listing Luke Joeckel as a two-star free agent because he's only 25 and was once the second-overall pick in the draft. It's not inconceivable that he could turn his career around. Unfortunately, Joeckel has been an abomination thus far. He was slightly less worse at guard than tackle, so perhaps he'll have a future there like Robert Gallery once did. Probably not, though.

Chance Warmack, G, Titans. Age: 25.
Chance Warmack hasn't played like a two-star player; he's been awful. However, he was the No. 10 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, so he has some potential




Damontre Moore, DE, Seahawks. Age: 24
Andre Branch, DE, Dolphins. Age: 28.
Rob Ninkovich, DE, Patriots. Age: 33

Vet Min
Mario Williams,seems done as a rusher but always been good setting the edge




Duron Harmon, S, Patriots. Age: 26.
Duron Harmon, a former third-round pick, plays in the nickel and does a solid job. He's stuck behind Devin McCourty and Patrick Chung, however, so he could start for some other team.

Kevin Zeitler RG Cincinnati Bengals 26 / 6'4' / 320 / Rd. 1 (27) / CIN
The Bengals are in a tight cap situation, so allowing Zeitler hit the open market may be the necessary decision.. He excels in both run blocking and pass blocking. He’s improved as a run blocker each season and didn’t allow a single sack in 2015.
5 yr(s) / $50,000,000 lets go $11m

Johnathan Hankins NY Giants (25) / 6'2' / 320 2013 / Rd. 2 (49) / NYG
One of the better under the radar DT in the NFL? Better run stuffer than Nick. After signing players such as Olivier Vernon, Janoris Jenkins and Damon Harrison last offseason, the Giants don’t have much wiggle room to work with and Johnathan Hankins is likely to hit the free agent market. At only 24 years old, Hankins could prove to be one of the best value signings this upcoming offseason. He’s proven that he can make his presence known as an interior pass rusher and his play against the run can be stout at times. A great fit in 4-3 schemes. 8 mill

Micah Hyde FS/SS Green Bay Packers 26 / 6'0' / 197 / Rd. 5 (159) / GB
He is a dependable player who offers versatility. Hyde is capable of playing both free and strong safety. Hyde has showcased consistent football despite being trapped in a rotation with HaHa Clinton-Dix and Morgan Burnett in his tenure with the Packers. Hyde has racked up 227 tackles, 24 passes defensed, eight interceptions and four sacks in 63 career games. In addition, Hyde has punt return capabilities, recording three touchdowns throughout his career. He’ll most likely be searching for a starting opportunity. 8 mill

Duron Harmon, S, Patriots. Age: 26.
Duron Harmon, a former third-round pick, plays in the nickel and does a solid job. He's stuck behind Devin McCourty and Patrick Chung, however, so he could start for some other team. 8 mill

Jabaal Sheard, EDGE, New England Patriots (27) / 6'3' / 265 / Rd. 2 (37) / CLE
Sheard is a capable player against the run and pass, and can play across different schemes and roles. He may never be an All-Pro, but he can be a valuable part of a team’s defensive front. 8 mill

Rick Wagner RT Baltimore Ravens (26) / 6'6' / 310 / Wisconsin / 2013 / Rd. 5 (168) / BAL
Baltimore Ravens are in a tight cap situation. One of the league's better right tackles excels in both run blocking and pass blocking 6 mill

A.J. Klein MLB Carolina (25) / 6'1' / 240 / 2013 / Rd. 5 (148) / CAR / $675,000,
He might just escape and get a shot. He is one of the best reserve LB in the NFL. MLB is home but very comfortable at OLB also. smart as they come. 4 mill

RB
Rex Burkhead RB Bengals (26) / 5' 10" / 215 / RD 6 (190) / 2013 / Cincinnati
Rex is a solid, pass-catching back. Excels in both zone and man blocking schemes, as well as on third down. He was also a core special teamer for the Bengals in the past four seasons 4 mil
