Anyone have a link to a site that has the players who will be free agents next year?

I'm not sure if that's "all-all" but it's pretty close.

Hmmm ...

Givens, Brown, Davis and Dwight are all UFA.

I'd love to see us take a shot at Azumah and as much as white defensive backs annoy me, Archuleta wouldn't be a bad addition either.

Hey, hey, Jerry Azumah.

Saint-Peter Marian High product (Worcester).

My cousin is good friends with him from their SPM football days.

Thanks Pats1. Much appreciated.

Antonio Bryant hasn't distinguished himself, and the Browns have boatloads of money to spend, but the Patriots were said to have wanted Bryant in 2002 and settled for Deion Branch when the Cowboys took Bryant two picks ahead of the Patriots. Don't know if it's true but if Bryant makes it to free agency they may go after him. He's not as dependable catching as Givens but is more explosive. It's also interesting, looking at that draft, seeing that Andre Davis was taken 18 picks ahead of Branch.

Why do white d backs annoy you? Is your last name Farrakhan?

Positions that I think the Pats will look at during free agency:
RB: There are a few big names (Alexander, Foster, James) and a lot of #3 types. Pats may go here or the draft http://www.theredzone.org/2006/freea...sp?Position=RB

LB: This year is pretty deep in LB in both free agency and in the draft. Chatham and Davis are UFA. TBC and Chad Brown haven't panned out. The Pats could use some journeymen help behind McGinest, Vrabel, Bruschi, Colvin, Beisel and Claridge. http://www.theredzone.org/2006/freea...sp?Position=LB

OT: Gorin isn't very good. Ashworth is versatile and can play both LT and RT, but he's a free agent and may not be back if he gets a good offer from another team. http://www.theredzone.org/2006/freea...sp?Position=OT

OG: Stephen Neal is getting noticed in the league and could get offered a big Payday because the pickings are thin. http://www.theredzone.org/2006/freea...sp?Position=OG

WR: I'd love to see Givens back and there is some talent out there with Wayne, Morgan, Price, Burleson, Curtis, and Jurevicious. A deal similar to T.J. Houshmandzedah is in order. Pats will NEED to sign at least 2 WR besides drafting 1 or 2. http://www.theredzone.org/2006/freea...sp?Position=WR

Safety: Some big names here with Archuleta, Tank Williams, Will Demps, Lance Schulters and Keion Carpenter here. http://www.theredzone.org/2006/freea...asp?Position=S

CB: Biggest names here will be Ty Law and Charles Woodson. Law won't get the money he wants. I don't think Woodson will either. Jerry Azumah and Juran Boldan are #2/#3 type CBs who will be available. http://www.theredzone.org/2006/freea...sp?Position=CB

i looked through all the positions and here is my list of players i would like to get (with my favs with stars)

cbs:
charles woodson*
deshea townsend*
jamar fletcher
jerry azumah* (RFA)
juran bolden
leigh bodden* (RFA)
nate clements*
rw mcquarters*
will allen*

i see townsend and clements as the most likely possibilities

safeties:
adam archuleta
dexter jackson
keion carpenter
lance shulters
omar stoutmire
will demps

dont really love anyone here

lbs:
akin ayodele*
david thornton
julian peterson*

bb loves peterson's athleticism, no great ilbs in the fa group this yr (possible cap casualties?)

de:
anthony weaver
aaron kampman*
john abraham*
kalimba edwards*
kimo von oelhoffen
kyle vanden bosch
raheem brock*
nd kalu
orpheus roye
robert mathis* (RFA)

prob wont get anyone here, but if we do maybe brock or edwards-cheaper alternatives to the others

rbs:
chester taylor*
ahman green
edgerrin james
shaun alexander
deshaun foster
jonathan wells*
maurice morris*
michael bennet
najeh davenport*

i would love to get davenport (even though he crapped in a grls dorm at umiami-my sisters alma mater), but he has some great upside, there are some great rbs, but im sure foster will stay in car, and edge and shaun if they leave will get more money than we can afford

qbs(we really need a backup here):
damon huard*
jamie martin*
jon kitna*
josh mccown
todd collins

bb loved huard's practice ability, being the scout qb, could he return?

ot:
ephraim salaam
jeff backus*
jon runyan
tom ashworth*
(i could see us going gorin and light next yr)

og:
stephen neal*
steve hutchinson*

(i love both these guys, althouh i could see us go with mankins and hochstein as our starting two next yr, if neal wants a lot of money)

te(will let fauria go, so would like a number three here):
aaron shea*-versatile
brandon manamaleuna*
jerame tuman
daniel wilcox(RFA)
Matt schobel
zach hilton (rfa)

wrs:
antonio bryant*
antwaan randle el

kevin curtis (RFA)
nate burleson (RFA)
peter warrick
quincy morgan
reche caldwell*
reggie wayne*

if we dont re-sign givens (which i think is a must, we should get one of these guys)
