PFT’s All-Unemployed Team
These are all guys from the list that I think could be had at a decent price post draft.
Obviously all these options could be had in the draft , but if we miss a position inthe draft or feel what we have needs improvement.
They have been kicking the tires on Bradshaw
I think Henderson could be a decent deep threat for Ben
Not sure how much Dallas has left but he could be a cheap interim until Heath is back
If they think Worlids is not up to the challenge or needs a push, Shaun Phillips possibly could come cheap at his age and still have some motor left.
I would love to have Barnett are a fill in guy in the middle
And I think Jammer would be a nice experienced guy to throw in the mix at CB

Running back: Ahmad Bradshaw.
Durability looms as the major concern with Bradshaw, who has had foot issues.
Wide receiver: Brandon Lloyd, Devery Henderson.
Lloyd would be a fine short-term solution for a team looking for an outside receiver. Henderson is a complementary player in the passing game, but he runs well and has missed one game in the last six seasons.
Tight end: Dallas Clark.
The best receiving option at his position still left on the market. However, he turns 34 in June.
Outside linebacker: Shaun Phillips, Daryl Smith.
Phillips will be 32 in May, but he notched 9.5 sacks in 2012, so it’s not as if he couldn’t be of assistance to a defense that uses 3-4 looks. Smith was limited to two games a season ago with a groin injury, but he’s the best 4-3 outside linebacker available. Age could also be a concern with Smith, who turned 31 in March. Let’s also mention James Harrison, like Phillips an interesting short-term option for a club employing a “30” front.
Inside linebacker: Karlos Dansby, Brian Urlacher.
Dansby lost his job when the Dolphins added Dannell Ellerbe, but he comes off a 134-tackle season and has a long track record of success. There’s probably still a place for him in the league, and the Bengals are meeting with him on Wednesday. Urlacher fit best in Chicago, but the door seems to have closed on his return. Besides, he’ll be 35 in May. Honorable mention goes to Nick Barnett, who has notched more than 100 tackles in every season in which he’s played even close to 16 games.
Cornerback: Quentin Jammer, Jacob Lacey.
Reliability and availability are Jammer’s strengths at this stage of the game. He’s made 161 career starts and missed just four games in 11 NFL seasons, all with San Diego. Lacey, who has started at least eight games in all four of his pro seasons, will be just 26 at the start of the 2013 campaign.
