I cannot find if he will be a RFA or UFA.
Anyone know?

Maroney is the Tony Allen of the Patriots. All physical potential. Some truly sparkling moments that puncuate a less than stellar career. Ultimately disappointing. The Pats brass will let him walk like Ainge let TA. Buh-Bye.
I'd be willing to bet that the RB position gets the same attention in next years draft that the back eight of the Defense got in the last 2 drafts. They're going to devote at least 2 high picks (Rds 1-3) to that position. Kevin Faulk will need to groom his replacement. Taylor and Morris will be long gone. BJGE will be too, I'd bet. Time for a transfusion of young blood at RB.

We do have Oakland's #1 next year.
Who are the stud running backs projected to be coming out in 2011?
If the two sides do not reach an agreement on a new CBA, 2011 would be another uncapped year. The service time to become a free agent in 2011 would be five years, rather than the six years there was this year, or the four years there was in 2009 and prior. Of course, that may be a moot point as a lockout or strike would probably be more likely in the event there is not a new CBA by then.
So the bottom line is that Maroney will be an unrestricted free agent in 2011 - as will Fred Taylor, Sammy Morris, and Kevin Faulk. BJGE would be a RFA.
NFL.com news: Uncapped years would actually limit free agency
If/when a new CBA is agreed upon, Floyd Reese is going to be a busy man working on new contracts. Here is a list of players with contracts expiring after the 2010 season that would be unrestricted free agents in 2011:
Tom Brady
Randy Moss
Matt Light
Fred Taylor
Laurence Maroney
Kevin Faulk
Sammy Morris
Alge Crumpler
Stephen Gostkowski
Derrick Burgess
Brandon McGowan
Pierre Woods
Torry Holt
Damione Lewis
Gerard Warren
Eric Alexander
David Patten

He won't be much of anything if there isn't a new CBA.
Not necessarily, unless I understand the situarion incorrectly. There could be a strike or there could be a lockout but AFAIK, barring action by the union or owners they could still play.if there is no CBA by next year there will be no football
I know that would be a sexy pick, but I highly doubt BB uses a high 1st rounder on a RB. Maybe if the rest of the team was stacked, but as I see it now we have present and future openings on both lines, which is the safer option with high picks. We could potentially draft the next Seymour, or Light's replacement, or a Mayo-caliber OLB, all would be better uses of the pick than a RB, IMO.
