The Top 50 Free Agents of 2009
1. Albert Haynesworth, DT, Tennessee Titans – SIGNED BY THE REDSKINS 7YRS/$100 MIL, $41 MIL GUARANTEED 2. T.J. Houshmandzadeh, WR, Cincinnati Bengals -- SIGNED BY THE SEAHAWKS 5YRS 3. Kurt Warner, QB, Arizona Cardinals -- RE-SIGNED WITH THE CARDINALS 2YRS/$23 MIL, $19 MIL GUARANTEED 4. Bart Scott, LB, Baltimore Ravens – SIGNED BY THE JETS 6YRS/$48 MIL 5. Ray Lewis, LB, Baltimore Ravens -- Someone is buying a legend and he brings a lot to the table, but he is better off staying in Baltimore. Teams can't buy leadership.
6.
Derrick Ward, RB, New York Giants
-- SIGNED BY THE BUCCANEERS 4YRS/$17 MIL, $6 MIL GUARANTEED
7. Jason Brown, C, Baltimore Ravens -- SIGNED BY THE RAMS 5YRS/$37.5 MIL, $20 MIL GUARANTEED 8. Antonio Smith, DE, Arizona Cardinals -- SIGNED BY THE TEXANS 5YRS/$35 MIL/$12.5 MIL GUARANTEED 9. Fred Taylor, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars -- SIGNED BY THE PATRIOTS 10. Jeff Saturday, C, Indianapolis Colts -- RE-SIGNED BY THE COLTS 3YRS 11. Chris Canty, DE, Dallas Cowboys -- SIGNED BY THE GIANTS 6YRS/$42 MIL, $17.5 MIL GUARANTEED. 12. Kerry Collins, QB, Tennessee Titans – RE-SIGNED BY THE TITANS 13. Brian Dawkins, S, Philadelphia Eagles – SIGNED BY THE BRONCOS 5YRS/$17 MIL, $7.2 MIL GUARANTEED 14. Marvin Harrison, WR, Indianapolis Colts -- Harrison refused to take a pay cut and found himself on the street this week. It is hard to imagine him playing outside in the cold with an inexperienced QB. 15. Laveranues Coles, WR, New York Jets -- SIGNED BY THE BENGALS 4YRS/$28 MIL 16. Jermaine Phillips, S, Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- RE-SIGNED BY THE BUCCANEERS 17. Bryant McFadden, CB, Pittsburgh Steelers -- The Steelers need McFadden back and may get him resigned. When Nnamdi Asomugha, Dunta Robinson, Kelvin Hayden and Joselio Hanson were taken off the market, McFadden's stock went up. 18. Nate Washington, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers -- SIGNED BY THE TITANS 19. Jabari Greer, CB, Buffalo Bills -- SIGNED BY THE SAINTS 4YRS/$23 MIL 20. Matt Birk, C, Minnesota Vikings -- SIGNED BY THE RAVENS 21. Igor Olshansky, DE, San Diego Chargers -- SIGNED BY THE COWBOYS 4YRS/$18 MIL, $8 MIL GUARANTEED 22. Chris Baker, TE, New York Jets -- SIGNED BY THE PATRIOTS 23. Michael Boley, LB, Atlanta Falcons -- SIGNED BY THE GIANTS 5YRS/$25 MIL 24. Jonathan Vilma, LB, New Orleans Saints -- RE-SIGNED BY THE SAINTS. 5YRS/$34 MIL 25. Brandon Moore, OG, New York Jets -- RE-SIGNED BY THE JETS 4YRS/$16 MIL, $10 MIL GUARANTEED 26. Khalif Barnes, OT, Jacksonville Jaguars -- The Jaguars ran the ball behind Barnes with success. He's better suited for the right side, and as you may have noticed there aren't many tackles in free agency. 27. Mark Tauscher, OT, Green Bay Packers -- Tauscher is another tackle looking for a big payday. He needs his home team to be after him to drum up business. 28. Domonique Foxworth, CB, Atlanta Falcons -- SIGNED BY THE RAVENS 4YRS/$28 MIL 29. Sean Jones, S, Cleveland Browns -- SIGNED BY THE EAGLES 1YR 30. Maurice Morris, RB, Seattle Seahawks -- SIGNED BY THE LIONS 3YRS/$7 MIL 31. Takeo Spikes, LB, San Franciso 49ers -- RE-SIGNED BY THE 49'ERS 32. Phillip Buchanon, CB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- SIGNED BY THE LIONS 2YRS/$8.5 MIL 33. Jeff Garcia, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- Every player I spoke with who defended Garcia this year said he still has plenty of spin on the ball. Some coaches are reluctant to bring him in because they are afraid he couldn't function as a backup if he lost the competition. He may want to wait for a critical injury, rather than sign a low-ball deal this winter. 34. Keith Brooking, LB, Atlanta Falcons -- SIGNED BY THE COWBOYS 3YRS 35. Chris Kemoeatu, OG, Pittsburgh Steelers -- RE-SIGNED BY THE STEELERS 5YRS/$20 MIL 36. Devery Henderson, WR, New Orleans Saints -- RE-SIGNED BY THE SAINTS 4YRS 37. Mike Brown, S, Chicago Bears -- Another guy who struggles with his medical situation. He can still play, come up and hit or play half-field coverage. 38. Rocky Bernard, DT, Seattle Seahawks -- SIGNED BY THE GIANTS 4YRS/$16 MIL 39. Mike Goff, OG, San Diego Chargers -- Goff has missed just three games in nine years. He probably gets re-signed. 40. Demetric Evans, DE, Washington Redskins -- SIGNED BY THE 49'ERS 2YRS/$3.8 MIL 41. Bertrand Berry, DE, Arizona Cardinals -- At 33 years of age and some medical history, he probably should not be in the top 50. However, his five sacks in limited playing time keeps him alive for now. 42. Jon Stinchcomb, OT, New Orleans Saints -- RE-SIGNED BY THE SAINTS 5YRS 43. Leigh Bodden, CB, Detroit Lions -- Bodden had a contract that forced him out in Detroit. He played a lot better as a Cleveland Brown two years ago, but his contract demands got him traded to Detroit. He doesn't command the big money, but he could win a job on a number of teams. 44. Dre Bly, CB, Denver Broncos -- He took a lot of heat in Denver, but any guy playing opposite Champ Bailey is going to see most of the balls coming his way. Much like Aaron Glenn in the last few years of his career, Bly is backup insurance. He should realize the veteran minimum is waiting for him. 45. Marvel Smith, OT, Pittsburgh Steelers -- Smith swore to me that he is healthy and ready to go. Not sure he is, but if team doctors agree with him, then he moves up this board because there simply aren't many left tackles in free agency. 46. Andre Goodman, CB, Miami Dolphins -- SIGNED BY THE BRONCOS 5YRS/$25 MIL/, $10 MIL GUARANTEED 47. Stacy Andrews, OT, Cincinnati Bengals – SIGNED BY THE EAGLES 48. Correll Buckhalter, RB, Philadelphia Eagles -- SIGNED BY THE BRONCOS 4YRS 49. Derrick Brooks, LB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- I would hope Brooks retires after being cut this week, but he can still make a few plays in a game. Teams will shy away from him at this point, but out of respect he's in my top 50. 50. Derrick Dockery, OG, Buffalo Bills -- SIGNED BY THE REDSKINS 5YRS/$26 MIL, $8.5 MIL GUARANTEED
