Best Free Agents Available-Defense (4/2)

Here's a look at the updated list of the best available free agents on defense as of Monday.

Defensive End
Dwight Freeney/UFA (exclusive franchise player)
Justin Smith/UFA (franchise player)
Charles Grant/UFA (franchise player)
Jared Allen/RFA - He asked to be traded but that's unlikely to happen. Their pass rush isn't very good to begin with and they can't afford to deal Allen.
Grant Wistrom/UFA - Because the list of decent pass rushers is dwindling, Wistrom should be able to find a job as a third end or better for a team.
Bobby McCray/RFA - He's coming off of a very good season and should attract interest next year as a UFA.
Courtney Brown/UFA - This could be it for the oft-injured end.
Al Wallace/UFA
Josh Thomas/RFA
Darrion Scott/RFA
Spencer Johnson/RFA

Ian Scott/UFA - It looks like his choices are coming down to re-signing with Chicago or signing with Minnesota.
James Reed/UFA - He should be able to get a job as a fourth tackle.
Randy Starks/RFA
Lional Dalton/UFA - He should be able to get a job as a fourth tackle.
