It's cutdown time, and a lot of big, medium and small names will be available to sign with any team in the next week or so. Here are some of the interesting -- maybe -- ones so far.
| QUARTERBACK |
|---|
| Kyle Orton |
| Thaddeus Lewis |
| Josh Freeman |
| Tyler Thigpen |
Orton seems most likely to get a call at some point. Lewis would be second. All quiet on the Freeman front.
| RUNNING BACK |
|---|
| Edwin Baker |
| Andre Brown |
| Michael Bush |
| Felix Jones |
Baker looked pretty good for the Browns down the stretch last season. I actually held onto the guy in dynasty for most of the offseason. One of these top three guys should get a chance with a team at some point this season, once injuries strike, as they always do.
| WIDE RECEIVER |
|---|
| Danario Alexander |
| Davone Bess |
| Earl Bennett |
| Jon Baldwin |
Uh, yeah, not much to see here. Alexander carries too much injury risk. The other guys either don't bring much to the table or simply can't play. I guess technically Chad Johnson (Ochocinco?) wants back into the league.
| TIGHT END |
|---|
| Jermichael Finley |
| Dustin Keller |
Finley can't get medically cleared, Keller recently admitted he's not 100 percent healthy. Still, maybe one of these guys gets a shot at some point. Keller seems like a better bet, with teams apparently wary of Finley's neck injury.
| KICKER |
|---|
| Jay Feely |
| Dustin Hopkins |
| Lawrence Tynes |
| David Akers |
I know, they're kickers, so who cares. Still, one of these guys may just end up kicking for Denver the first five weeks of the season, with Matt Prater suspended until Week 6 (Broncos have an early bye). Give Feely the edge.
