*代表正從嚴重受傷或重大手術復健者

1. Albert Haynesworth, DT: Far and away the best free agent; $100 million
isn’t out of the question.

2. Kurt Warner, QB: Expect the deal to come in at two years, $22 million with
Arizona.

3. Jason Brown, C/G: Likely to become the top paid interior offensive lineman
in the game.

4. Ray Lewis, LB: Lots of talk about Dallas or the Jets, but look for him to
return to Baltimore.

5. T.J. Houshmandzadeh, WR: Bengals are delusional enough to think he might
return. Yeah, right.

6. Bart Scott, LB: No discounts for the Ravens this time probably means no
return to Baltimore.

7. Jermaine Phillips, S: The best defensive back available. A poor man’s
Ed Reed.

8. Bryant McFadden, CB: Best cornerback among a lot of mediocre ones on this
list.

9. Jabari Greer, CB: He’s going to get a lot of money ($7 million a year)
after two decent campaigns.

10. Phillip Buchanon, CB: Florida native likely to return to Tampa Bay.
Bucs have the cash.

11. Derrick Ward, RB: Former seventh-round pick hits the big time in a
shallow group of RBs.

12. Khalif Barnes, OT: Had issues in Jacksonville, but he has pretty serious
talent.

13. DeAngelo Hall, CB: SIGNED Signed a six-year contract with the
Washington Redskins for $54 million, including $22.5 million guaranteed
money.

14. Kerry Collins, QB: Wants to get the same deal as Warner. Probably will be
a little short.

15. Tra Thomas, OT: He’s old, but he can still play and left tackles aren’t
easy to get in free agency.

16. Brian Dawkins, S: Like Thomas, he’s old, but he can still play and the
Eagles love him.

17. Chris Kemoeatu, G: Like his brother Maake in 2006, he figures to hit the
jackpot.

18. Chris Canty, DE: There’s tremendous speculation he’ll go to Miami.
Terrific DL in a 3-4 scheme.

19. Jake Grove, C: Another guy who could easily end up in Miami.

*20. Stacy Andrews, G: Serious knee injury in season finale cost him millions.

21. Derrick Dockery, G: Massively overpaid by Buffalo.

*22. Mark Tauscher, OT: He’s old, but the Packers need to have their right
tackle back.

23. Jonathan Vilma, LB: Solid season with the Saints. Needs to be in a 4-3
scheme.

24. Gibril Wilson, S: SIGNED Signed a five-year $27.5 million deal with
the Miami Dolphins, including $8 million in guaranteed money.

25. Jon Stinchcomb, OT: Nice right tackle, but not a great player. Will be
overpaid.

26. Byron Leftwich, QB: Good guy, nice arm, wants to start. But that release
is still slow.

27. Matt Birk, C: Six-time Pro Bowler is getting up there, but he could bring
leadership to a developing line.

28. Drayton Florence, CB: He never fit in Jacksonville, but his age and
experience will make him a commodity again.

29. Darren Sharper, S: Veteran safety who can still hit, but his playmaking
skills may be on the decline.

30. Nate Washington, WR: He turns 26 this offseason and has big-play ability.
Should be ready to be a consistent No. 2 in a scheme with a big-armed
quarterback.

31. Devery Henderson, WR: Young and speedy. Can be a solid No. 2 in a
vertical scheme.

32. Fred Taylor, RB: Can be reliable for maybe two more years with a 12-15
carry load.

33. Laveranues Coles, WR: Moody, but the talent is there to be a top level
No. 2 for a few more years.

34. Marvin Harrison, WR: Could still be a solid No. 2 if he’s healthy, but
he’s falling off fast. One or two more years of solid production may
be it.

35. Marcus Washington, LB: Aging playmaker who has missed 12 regular season
games the last three years. Can still be a good starter.

36. Cedric Benson, RB: Finally showed some determined production in ’08, but
he’s still too risky for a major contractual commitment.

*37. Marvel Smith, OT: If his back trouble subsides, he’s on the fringe of
the league’s top 10 tackles. If it doesn’t, his career may be in
jeopardy.

*38. Chris McAlister, CB: He has lost a step and hasn’t been healthy since
2006, but still has a lot of value in a thin year at cornerback. Big
risk, moderate reward player.

39. Antonio Smith, DE: Has gotten better in each of his seasons in Arizona.
Could be a 7- or 8-sack player opposite an elite defensive end.

*40. Jon Runyan, OT: Has gone an astonishing 12 years without missing a game,
but had microfracture surgery this offseason. He’s just getting too old
to be a good risk.

41. Cato June, LB: His role in Tampa limited some of his numbers, but he
should be a quality starter in a 4-3 for another three years.

42. Jeff Garcia, QB: A solid one- or two-year stopgap for a West Coast scheme.

43. Joey Galloway, WR: He can round out a receiving core as a No. 2 for a
year or two.

44. Keith Brooking, LB: He’s more of a tackler than a playmaker at this
stage, but he can still be a solid starter in a 4-3 for several years.

45. Trai Essex, OT: He can play multiple positions and provide good depth.
He could still develop into a solid starter.

46. Sean Jones, S: A solid playmaker who will get a fat contract. He’s a
little overrated, but could be very good with a strong surrounding cast.

*47. Angelo Crowell, LB: Missed all of 2008 with a serious knee injury.
If he was healthy, he’d be one of the best linebackers in this class.

48. Mike Peterson, LB: Injuries and butting heads with coach Jack Del Rio
robbed him of three good years. Either there is very little left, or
he’s going to be a big bargain.

49. John St. Clair, OT: Another guy who isn’t a quality starter but who can
play multiple positions and give depth.

50. Andre’ Goodman, CB: Had arguably his best season in the NFL last year.
He turns 31 this year, but cornerbacks will be at a premium.

51. Chris Baker, TE: Balanced tight end who needs to do more on the offensive
end. Perennially overrated.

52. Derrick Brooks, LB: A shade of the player he once was. Can still bring
great leadership to a young defense.

53. Andra Davis, LB: A solid starter and not much more at this stage of his
career.

54. Russ Hochstein, G: Career backup who can start in a pinch. He’ll get a
surprising contract and start somewhere.

55. Lawyer Milloy, S: His best days are far behind him, but he’s serviceable
and can help bring along young players in the secondary.

56. J.P. Losman, QB: He’s got great tools but makes poor decisions. He’s a
Leftwich-type reclamation project at this point.

57. Rex Grossman, QB: A good arm and a terrible head. Another Leftwich-type
backup who might be able to be salvaged down the line.

58. Eugene Wilson, S: His last eight games of ’08 showed a player who can
still be a quality starter. He’s an underrated signing if he can stay
healthy.

59. Bertrand Berry, DE: He has missed 23 games in the last four years, but
he could be a good one- or two-year starter opposite an “elite” defensive
end in a 4-3.

60. Gerald Sensabaugh, S: A talented player who showed flashes of brilliance
last season. He’s been arrested twice in the past two years.

61. Geoff Hangartner, C/G: Should be a respectable starter at guard or center
wherever he signs. His next contract will surprise some people.

62. Eric Barton, LB: A solid tackler whose best playmaking days are behind him.
He might have two years left in him as a starter in a 3-4 system.

63. Rocky Bernard, DT: He never showed he could play as well as his great 2005
season, but he’s got three or four good starting years left.

64. Igor Olshansky, DT: A 3-4 end who looked like he was going to develop into
a very respectable player until the coaching staff soured on him last
season.

65. Michael Boley LB: Has skills but doesn’t always hold up against the run.
Big things were expected before he fell out of favor with Atlanta’s new
staff last season.

66. Kevin Carter DE/DT: He’s not a three-down player anymore, but he can still
play. A good veteran rotation player for the right price.

67. Deuce McAllister, RB: Still has a year or two left as a split-carry option
if he could stay healthy. That’s a big if.

68. Shaun Cody, DT: Has skills, but no sacks or forced fumbles in the last
three years. Could be a bargain if someone can motivate him, or an utter
bust if they can’t.

69. Jim Leonhard, S: Filled in nicely in injury situations and can be a solid
starter who makes the occasional play.

70. Jim Kleinsasser, TE: A superior blocker who won’t factor into the passing
game.

71. James Sanders, S: Could be a solid starter for a 3-4 team, particularly one
that needs someone who understands the alignment.

72. Mike Nugent, K: Best kicker on the market in terms of combination of youth
and skill. Might be more of a factor from 50-plus if he gets out of the
Meadowlands.

73. L.J. Smith, TE: Injuries halted his growth into a top tight end. When
healthy, he’s still young enough to contribute 40 receptions and 500 yards
to a passing game.

74. Pete Kendall, G: The sun is setting on his career, but he’s a good option
for a team needing a one- or two-year guard who can mentor some younger
players.

75. Ronald Fields, DT: He’s never really found his niche as a defensive end or
tackle in a 4-3. He could play nose in a 3-4 alignment.

76. Mike Wright, DT: A young 3-4 lineman who the Patriots liked enough last
season to assign a second-round tender to him. Could be a quality starter
for another team.

77. Corey Ivy, CB: Speed and size deficient. Could be a good signing for depth
in the Cover 2.

78. Jabar Gaffney,WR: Could be a solid No. 2 across from a dominant wideout,
but is more likely a good No. 3.

79. Zach Thomas, LB: His lack of size and speed has caught up to him. He’s
little more than a solid tackler at this point in his career.

80. LaMont Jordan, RB: On the downside of his career, but can still contribute
with 10 touches a game if he ever stays healthy.

81. Keiwan Ratliff, CB: Did a nice job after injuries forced him to play 13
games last season.

82. Ron Bartell, CB: Got a chance to play last season and did a solid job. Even
got three interceptions.

83. Justin Miller, CB: Failed top pick with Jets has nice return ability if
healthy.

84. Tyjuan Hagler, LB: Active, tough and good on special teams. Needs to be in
Tampa 2 defense.

85. Kenny Peterson, DE: Even after six years of inconsistency, he flashes
tempting ability.

86. Ronald Curry, WR: Injuries have hampered a promising career. Nice
all-around athlete.

87. Dan Orlovsky, QB: Looking for the safety of a No. 2 job where he won’t
run into safeties.

88. Ty Law, CB: Law doesn’t do training camp at this stage of his career.
Wait till September.

89. Kevin Burnett, LB: Durable and active, but hasn’t lived up to being a
second-round pick.

90. Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB: Expect him to return to the quiet safety of
Cincinnati for a backup job.

91. Chris Crocker, S: He actually did a nice job in two stops last season,
but safeties are easy to find.

92. Dominic Rhodes, RB: If he’s smart, he stays in Indianapolis no matter
what the cost.

93. Maurice Morris, RB: Passable backup who doesn’t complain about his role.

94. Warrick Dunn, RB: A serviceable No. 2 who may have two years left in that
role.

95. Amani Toomer, WR: Leading receiver in Giants history is a classy vet
playing out the string.

96. Bobby Engram, WR: Like Toomer, he’s at the end but is terrific in
third-down situations.

97. Rudi Johnson, RB: Might have some mileage left on his body if he can get
healthy.

98. Bryant Johnson, WR: Couldn’t make it with WR-desperate 49ers. That’s not
a good sign.

99. Jason Craft, CB: Typical CB who survives a decade in the league because he
knows the game.

100. J.J. Arrington, RB: Nice third-down back and backup. Not overly versatile.
