Quarterback
Aaron Brooks - He finally had a tryout recently. You would think with all
of the bad quarterback play this season (see Carolina Panthers) that he would
draw more interest.
Jeff George - Despite being rebuffed by the Minnesota Vikings recently,
he still wants to play. But then again, he hasn't thrown a pass in a regular
season game since the 2001 season.
Jay Fiedler - He hasn't thrown a pass in a game since 2005 but if healthy
he would certainly be worth a shot.
Craig Nall - Was waived by the Houston Texans recently. Could fill a No.
2 role for a team.
Doug Johnson - Serviceable as a No. 2. Had a tryout for the Jacksonville
Jaguars recently.
Chris Weinke - Not sure how much he has left--not that he had much to
begin with. He did have a tryout for the Minnesota Vikings recently. Oh, and the
Panthers have no interest in bringing him back for another round.
Rob Johnson - Was with the New York Giants in the 2006 off-season but he
hasn't thrown a pass in an NFL game since 2003.
Mike McMahon - More of an athlete than a quarterback at this point. Had a
tryout for the Miami Dolphins recently.
Shane Matthews - He last got in a game during the 2004 season and could
be a serviceable No. 3 man at this juncture.
Rohan Davey - Strong-armed passer but lacks touch. Had a tryout for the
Green Bay Packers.
Drew Henson - Played just one season in the NFL with 18 passes attempted.
Had a tryout with the Jacksonville Jaguars recently.
David Greene - Very productive collegiate signal whose talent hasn't
projected to the NFL level very well. Had tryouts with the Buffalo Bills, Dallas
Cowboys, and Tennessee Titans this season.
Koy Detmer - Has starting experience and can hold for kicks. Best used in
No. 3 role. Was signed by the Minnesota Vikings recently but was waived after a
few days. Also can hold for kicks.
Running Back
Corey Dillon - Just started working out recently and is leaning toward
playing again this season but time is running out.
Kevan Barlow - He had tryouts for the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay
Buccaneers recently. Could fill No. 2 role for a team.
Domanick Williams - The versatile back's future is clouded because of
knee problems and surprisingly he hasn't had a single workout for any team this
season.
Wali Lundy - Was the starting back to open the 2006 for the Houston
Texans yet is out of a job. Had tryouts for the Denver Broncos, Seattle
Seahawks, St. Louis Rams, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season.
Verron Haynes - Has value as a third back for a team and can also play
fullback if needed. Had tryouts with the Houston Texans, New Orleans Saints,
Seattle Seahawks, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season.
Eric Shelton - The former underachieving second-round pick of the
Carolina Panthers offers size at the position and had tryouts for the Atlanta
Falcons, Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Texans, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers this
season.
Ciatrick Fason - The straight line runner and former fifth round pick of
the Minnesota Vikings offers some size and had tryouts with the Houston Texans,
Seattle Seahawks, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Tony Hollings - Was once a promising back but injuries and average
performances have kept him from signing on again. He still turns just 26 years
old in early December.
Shaud Williams - The diminutive but speedy back had tryouts for the St.
Louis Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season.
Lionel Gates - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers waived him recently.
Josh Scobey - He can return kicks as well handle a No. 3 role for a team.
He had tryouts for the New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks this season.
Cedric Cobbs - The talented but injury prone back could handle a No. 3
role for a team. He hasn't had any tryouts for teams this season.
Jamal Robertson - He can return kicks and could handle a No. 3 role.
Tony Fisher - The veteran back offers some size and versatility and had
tryouts for the Houston Texans and Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season.
Fullback
Cory Schlesinger - He was a surprising final cut of the Miami Dolphins in
September when the rosters were set. He can still be a lead blocker for a team
for the short-term.
Daimon Shelton - He's a solid blocker and could start if needed for a
team that required him for that role.
Zack Crockett - The veteran short-yardage blocking back blocked for
Stanford University head coach Jim Harbaugh back in 1995 when the two were with
the Indianapolis Colts. He was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Fred Beasley - He's coming toward the end of his career but has value as
a backup.
Troy Fleming - He had extensive starting experience earlier in his career
with the Tennessee Titans.
Josh Parry - The former collegiate linebacker had tryouts with the
Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, Seattle Seahawks, and Tennessee Titans this
season.
James Hodgins - Known as a solid blocker at this position who can still
start.

Tennessee Titans recently.

and the ability to stretch the field. Had tryouts with the Buffalo Bills,
Oakland Raiders, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season.
Antonio Bryant - Played most recently with the San Francisco 49ers in
2006.
Charles Rogers - Yet another disappointing former first-round pick of the
Detroit Lions yet is very talented. He has yet to have a tryout for a team this
season.
Corey Bradford - Journeyman receiver could fill a No. 3 or No. 4 role for
a team.
Az-Zahir Hakim - The oft-injured veteran could fill a slot role or return
punts.
David Boston - The troubled receiver still is only 29 years old.
Rod Gardner - The journeyman receiver offers some size at the position
but has been with four teams since 2004. Had a tryout with the Oakland Raiders
this season.
Todd Pinkston - Was once a promising receiver who could get down field
well before he suffered a torn Achilles back in training camp of the 2005 season
with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Billy McMullen - Has played in the West Coast offense previously and
offers value for depth due to his size. He had a tryout for the Tennessee Titans
recently.
Clarence Moore - Tall receiver who is a red zone option and could fill a
No. 4 role for a team.
Courtney Roby - Was waived by the Cincinnati Bengals recently but could
fill a No. 4 role for a team. Had tryouts with the Buffalo Bills, Houston
Texans, Kansas City Chiefs, and Oakland Raiders this season.
Kevin Kasper - The journeyman receiver had a tryout with the Cleveland
Browns this season. He can return kicks and fill a No. 4 role.

in 2006 has value as a punt or kick returner. He's had tryouts with the Carolina
Panthers, Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders, and Tampa Bay
Buccaneers this season.
Bethel Johnson - The former second-round pick has bounced around over the
last few years but offers value as a kick returner. He had tryouts with the
Cincinnati Bengals, St. Louis Rams, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season.
David Terrell - An underachieving former first-round pick who still
offers a team value as a No. 4 or No. 5 receiver.
Randy Hymes - Good sized receiver who has some upside as a No. 4
receiver.
Alex Bannister - Very solid special teams player and former Pro Bowl
player in that role.
Cortez Hankton - Solid special teams player but offers little else. Had
tryouts with the Houston Texans and Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season.
Terrence Wilkins - Could return kicks or punts. He had a tryout with the
Baltimore Ravens recently.
Tight End
Erron Kinney - A very solid blocking tight end but had microfracture
surgery late last season and hasn't played ever since.
Doug Jolley - Athletic tight end who could fill a No. 2 role. Had a
tryout with the Buffalo Bills recently.
Ernie Conwell - Oft-injured but productive player who could fill a No. 2
role for a team. Had a tryout with the Detroit Lions this season.
Jermaine Wiggins - Journeyman who could fill a no. 2 role.
Marcellus Rivers - Was recently waived by the New England Patriots and
had a tryout for the Detroit Lions recently.
Darnell Sanders - Strictly a No. 3 tight end.

out for the New Orleans Saints recently.
Zach Hilton - Former undrafted free agent has bounced the last year or so
but brings some size to the position. Had tryouts with the Baltimore Ravens and
Miami Dolphins this season.
Center
Chukky Okobi - Was released by the Arizona Cardinals earlier this season
but could be a solid backup at the position for a team.
Guard
Jeno James - Had had knee problems but if healthy certainly could be a
solid backup or spot starter for a team.
Rick Demulling - Was waived by the Washington Redskins recently. Decent
backup.
Zach Piller - He has solid starting experience and could be a solid
backup or starter if needed for a team.
Toniu Fonoti - Weight is constantly is an issue with him but if he can
control it, he could be a productive starter for a team.
Chris Villarrial - Injuries have been an issue in his career but if
signed, he could least be insurance for a team.
Rex Tucker - He can play guard or tackle but would be best signed as a
backup at this point in his career.
Cosey Coleman - Has extensive starting experience and could be solid
insurance for a team. Had a tryout for the St. Louis Rams this season.
Marco Rivera - Back problems could prevent him from playing again. If
healthy, certainly could be solid insurance.
Kendyl Jacox - Has some starting experience but would be solid depth if
signed.
Ross Verba - Probably at the end of the line but if he has anything left,
could be short-term backup insurance.
Bennie Anderson - Was last with the Miami Dolphins and has some starting
experience.
Offensive Tackle
Zach Wiegert - Has played both tackle spots and could be insurance for a
team.
Adam Meadows - Veteran right tackle who played last year after being out
of the league for a few seasons.
Kenyatta Walker - Was with the Carolina Panthers earlier this year. Could
provide depth.

tryout with the New Orleans Saints this season.

young kickers.

Orleans Saints and New York Giants this season.

year. Had tryouts with the Atlanta Falcons, Detroit Lions, and Pittsburgh

this season.
