Available Free Agents-Offense
Defensive Tackle
Rod Coleman - The Atlanta Falcons decided to go with younger players in his
place. He's had his share of injuries, but Coleman should have one more productive year
left in him.
Marcus Tubbs - The former first-round pick of the Seattle Seahawks needs to
prove he's over his injury problems.
Anthony McFarland - He's coming back from patella tendon surgery but the feeling

team recently due to an off the field issue.
Alvin McKinley
Tim Anderson

first-round pick of the St. Louis Rams.

least three free agent visits so far this year.

Defensive End
Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila - When a team like the Green Bay Packers that has
next to no depth at defensive end decides to release him, you have to wonder how
much Gbaja-Biamila has left in the tank.
Rosevelt Colvin (OLB in 3-4) - You have to wonder how much he has left in the tank
after a team that's hurting for sacks like the Houston Texans cut him. He did
work out for the Cleveland Browns recently.
N.D. Kalu - The veteran end was released by the Houston Texans recently.
Bryce Fisher - At this point in his career, he fits in as a
fourth end.

season since he's suspended for three games.

decent fit for a team that uses a 3-4.

Brandon Moore (WLB) - He's a solid backup that can play at a variety of
positions.

was released by the Minnesota Vikings.

and he's been suspended by the NFL for a year.
