Top 10 Most Intriguing NFL Free Agents

After just over a week without football, I already miss it. Hockey and Basketball are cool and all, but there's nothing quite like football to me. Thankfully for me, the always exciting free agency period starts exactly one month from today on March 12th. As usual, there are a lot of quality players hitting the open market and a lot of intriguing possibilities as to where they might end up. Here are my picks for the 10 most intriguing free agents available this offseason.
Note: I'm excluding guys like Joe Flacco and Victor Cruz because there is pretty much no chance they leave their respective current teams. This list is strictly guys that could realistically be leaving their current teams in free agency.

10.Brent Grimes, cornerback (Current team: Atlanta Falcons)
Grimes missed all of 2012 after tearing his Achilles in the season opener, but that shouldn't deter Atlanta from re-signing him. Grimes is a vastly underrated corner whose absence exposed just how essential he is to Atlanta's secondary. Atlanta could very well see his injury too much of a red flag to re-sign him, but I do believe there are pretty good odds he returns to the Falcons.
Possible Destinations: Atlanta Falcons, New England Patriots, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Philadelphia Eagles,Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions  

9.Ed Reed, free safety (Current team: Baltimore Ravens)
Clearly if this was five years ago, Ed Reed would be at or near the top of this list. Now at 34, the future hall-of-famer has undeniably lost a step. That being said, Reed still has a couple quality years left in him and his veteran presence could help out teams with young secondaries. The Ravens would like to keep him if they could, but the asking price could be too much with the amount of key free agents they are looking to re-sign.
Possible Destinations: Baltimore Ravens, New England Patriots, New York Giants, Buffalo Bills

8.Ahmad Bradshaw, running back (Current team: N/A)
Ahmad Bradshaw was just released by the New York Giants to clear cap space to re-sign Victor Cruz and possibly make a run at some other free agents. Despite his injury problems, He's only 26 and he did rush for just over 1,000 yards last season while playing hurt and splitting carries with Andre Brown and David Wilson. Bradshaw could make an excellent power back compliment to a speedy back like Chris Johnson in Tennessee or provide a team like Green Bay with a proven starter who can run the ball consistently. There are a lot of teams that could use Bradshaw's services and while he not might be the most purely talented player on the market, his versatility definitely makes him one of the more interesting ones.
Possible Destinations: Tennessee Titans, Green Bay Packers, St.Louis Rams (if Steven Jackson retires/does not return), New York Jets, Indianapolis Colts, Pittsburgh Steelers, Miami Dolphins

7.Reggie Bush, running back (Current team: Miami Dolphins)
Reggie Bush finally reached his potential during his two years in Miami. It would make complete sense for him to stay in Miami solely for the fact that he's finally putting up solid numbers and has become a much better back as a member of the Dolphins. The problem is that Bush might be too expensive for the Dolphins to retain if they want to pick up a marquee wide receiver like Greg Jennings or Mike Wallace in free agency. If Bush keeps his price tag within reason, I see him staying in Miami. Otherwise, he'll be leaving South Beach and the team that gave his first taste of true success as a running back.
Possible Destinations: Miami Dolphins, Green Bay Packers, New York Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers, St. Louis Rams

6.Jarius Byrd, free safety (Current team: Buffalo Bills)
Jarius Byrd is one of the most underrated players in the NFL. The two-time Pro Bowler has been one of the few bright spots on an otherwise pretty dismal Buffalo defense. Byrd has already developed into one of the league's premier free safeties in only four seasons in the league and the Bills can not afford  to let a talent like leave him in free agency. Unfortunately for Buffalo, There are sure to be a lot of contenders that want this underrated talent on their roster.
Possible Destinations: Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, New England Patriots, New York Giants, Carolina Panthers

5.Mike Wallace, wide receiver (Current team: Pittsburgh Steelers)
Mike Wallace is one of the more promising young receivers. His hands could use some work, but his blistering speed alone make him one of the most dangerous deep threats in the league. After the Steelers failed to negotiate a long-term deal with him last year, I'd say his odds of returning to Pittsburgh this season are slim. With more consistent play and the right system, Wallace could flourish into one of the best wideouts in the league.
Possible Destinations: San Fransisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, Pittsburgh Steelers, Washington Redskins, Chicago Bears    

4.Jake Long, tackle (Current team: Miami Dolphins)
Despite an injury-plagued 2012, There is no question that former number one overall draft pick in 2008 is one of the best tackles in the league. If Miami makes it a priority to re-sign Reggie Bush, they need to also re-sign Long, who was a key part of Bush's first 1,000-yard rushing season in 2011. Long is guaranteed to get a ton of offers from various teams in this otherwise weak free agency class for offensive lineman which could very well lead to him leaving Miami.
Possible Destinations: Miami Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles, Arizona Cardinals, Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys

3.Wes Welker, wide receiver (Current team: New England Patriots)
A lot of people will call me crazy for not having Welker at the top of the list, but his success level is largely attributed to playing with Tom Brady. Welker is clearly a perfect fit for the Patriots system and they will probably re-sign him, but Welker could very well get more money elsewhere and there are slot receivers  like Brian Hartline available for less money who could be a good fit for the Patriots as well.
Possible Destinations: New England Patriots, San Diego Chargers, Minnesota Vikings, Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals

2.Dwayne Bowe, wide receiver (Current team: Kansas City Chiefs)
Dwayne Bowe might end up being the biggest steal of the whole 2013 free agency class. He's got all the tools to be an elite wide receiver in the league, the only thing holding him back has been the lack of anyone to get him the ball in Kansas City. The only way I see him staying in Kansas City is if they get a quarterback like Alex Smith or Matt Flynn via trade otherwise he's probably going to go to a team with a proven, consistent quarterback.
Possible Destinations: Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers, Chicago Bears, New England Patriots, St. Louis Rams, Washington Redskins, Seattle Seahawks, San Diego Chargers, San Fransisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins

1.Greg Jennings, wide receiver (Current team: Green Bay Packers)
Greg Jennings is still a top-flight wideout in this league, Green Bay just has no shortage of them and they aren't going to want to have pay Jennings along with blossoming young wideouts Randall Cobb and James Jones and fellow veteran Jordy Nelson. Jennings is craving for a feature role again and there are plenty of teams out there that could use his services (Miami looks like the frontrunner at the moment, Jennings has expressed an interest to reunite with former Packers offensive coordinator, Joe Philbin, who is now the Dolphins head coach.) I expect Jennings to be the most valuable catch (no pun intended) of this free agency period.
Possible Destinations: Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers, San Diego Chargers, Kansas City Chiefs, St.Louis Rams, Chicago Bears
