*Need a pa s rusher, running back or top-level wide receiver? This is a great free agency period for your team. Just don't expect to find a quarterback, safety or offensive tackle. *Ranked below are our top 101 unrestricted free agents. We have removed all the potential free agents that have since . We also keep removing players like that re-signed with their own team. Keep checking our list because salary cap casualties could be added before free agency Joe Kerridge Jersey starts. Based on who's available, these are the players we'd want to sign:Tier 1: Difference-makers1. , DT, : Outside of quarterbacks and the two unanimous All-Pros (, ), Suh and are the two unique talents around whom we would most like to build a franchise. A double-team defeater against the run as well as the pa s, Suh is on a Hall-of-Fame career path. He appears headed for Miami when free agency starts.2. , TE, : The two-time selection isn't much of a blocker and has struggled with ankle injuries in multiple seasons. Those concerns are trumped by a rare skill set as a mismatch creating space in the middle of the field, excelling after the catch and posting up in the red zone. Thomas is a difference-making talent in the prime of his career.3. , RB, : Murray was a tackle-breaking monster for the first three months of the season en route to Offensive Player of the Year honors. The No. 1 concern for potential suitors isn't the benefit of the ' dominant offensive line. It's that Murray was saddled up for a back-breaking 497 touches. He wasn't as elusive in December and January.Tier 2: Impact Starters4. , G, : He has been among the best maulers in the run game at guard in the entire league throughout his career. But Iupati is not great in pa s protection and isn't coming off his best season. 5. , DE, : Hardy is not available to be signed until he comes off the Commi sioner's Exempt List, and he could be facing further suspension. But his talent, production and age are worth ranking in the top five here. Someone will give him a chance.6. , CB, : He's the best option in a relatively thin cornerback crop. That makes him a candidate to be overpaid, but he'd fit well with former a sistants Gus Bradley or Dan Quinn.7. , WR, : Speed kills. Smith has averaged nearly 17 yards per catch for his career and regularly draws long pa s interference penalties. Just don't expect him to be a true No. 1 receiver.8. , LB, : He doesn't always finish plays with sacks, but Worilds consistently pre sures the quarterback. He will get paid. 9. , OLB/DE, : He can rush standing up from the outside or play defensive tackle. But plenty of defenders have struggled away from Baltimore. 10. , WR, : He might not be as productive away from Chip Kelly's system. Unle s he goes to Andy Reid's system.11. , DT, : A boom-or-bust pickup, Fairley can be one of the best at his position when motivated. 12. , T, : In a tackle-thin market, Bulaga offers rock solid starter status on the right side.13. , DT, : Quality, versatile defensive line starters are not easy to find in free agency. That's why the are set to give him big money.14. , DT, : One of the NFL's premier run-stuffers, Knighton has played for new coach Jack Del Rio in every one of his six seasons. He's a better scheme fit in Oakland than Denver.15. , C, : There are whispers that Hudson's goal is to become the NFL's highest-paid center. We aren't quite as high on him as we were on last year. Hudson looks headed to Oakland.Tier 3: Starters with questions16. , DE, : Much like Graham, Morgan gets more pre sures than sacks. He's also best utilized as a defensive end in a 4-3 scheme. He went to college in Atlanta. It's no secret that the ' top need is pa s rusher.17. , OLB, : Prior to getting hit with the franchise tag early last March, Orakpo held down a top-10 spot on our list -- only to go down with his third career torn pectoral injury. The were reportedly hot on his trail at this time in 2014.18. , WR, : Crabtree denied playing through a foot injury last season, but the game film suggests otherwise. Any team signing him will have to hope he can recover the impre sive pre-Achilles tear form that helped propel the into XLVII.19. , RB, : While injury prone, Mathews is one of the hardest-running early-down backs in the league. He's a perfect player to pair with a pa s-catching back in the draft. 20. , WR, : We think AJ has Devin Funchess Jersey more left in the tank than did when he left Carolina last season. Smith turned out to be a solid free agent value, and Johnson could be even better as a No. 2 option.21. , RB, : Chris We seling wanted to rank Spiller much higher, but "peak Spiller" has only come out once in five seasons. He's a great complementary part, not a foundation to build around. 22. , TE, : More of a versatile H-back than a big-bodied tight end, Clay is reportedly seeking $6 million annually. The want to keep him, but they'll have competition from the and others. Clay is not technically a free agent because the on him, meaning they can match any offer sheet he signs elsewhere.23. , DE, : Often overlooked and overrated, Sheard can provide solid starter snaps at a reasonable price. 24. , G/T, : He excelled as a guard last season, and Franklin's versatility to help out at right tackle will earn him money in a thin offensive line market. He's expected to land in San Diego.25. , CB, : He hasn't been the most consistent player throughout his career and he previously suffered a torn ACL, but Culliver has loads of talent. He's coming off a strong season and has a high ceiling.26. , S, : Forget against Baltimore. Moore has developed into a quality starting safety, and he's only 25 years old. 27. , NT, : Williams has improved every season since getting taken in the first round during the Whisenhunt/Graves era. There are way more 3-4 defenses in the NFL than there are true nose tackles like Williams.28. , TE, : If this list came out a year ago, Cameron would have ranked in the top 15 because he's a matchup nightmare. Concu sion woes now jeopardize Cameron's future.29. , RB, : The Inconvenient Truth can still block, catch and turn a 1-yard stuff into a 4-yard gain like a bo s. He's a nice veteran short-term pickup for a team seeking a title like Philadelphia.30. , DT, : 2013 was an off year. 2014 was an injury year. The talent is there, but it's been a while since we've seen it. 31. , DE/OLB, : Cole, 32, hasn't topped eight sacks since 2011, but was still bringing the heat via hits and hurries last season. He's a better fit as a 4-3 defensive end.32. , C, : Wisniewski is a solid starter in his prime. So why are the being linked to Hudson as his replacement?33. , CB, : House is seeking a starting job after four years as a sub-package corner in Green Bay. Don't be surprised if the re-sign him and allow Michigan Wolverines College Jersey to walk.34. , CB, : Williams was an above-average starter last season, but he turns 32 years old next month. He will have to settle for a short-term contract.35. , DT, : The have struggled up front against the run, but Paea did emerge as a disruptive pocket pusher last season. Washington is known to have strong interest.36. , DT, : A Rosenthal favorite, Melton was effective for the majority of last season as an interior pa s rusher.37. , LB, : Spikes has a niche skill-set as a premier two-down run-stuffer.38. , CB, : Still a quality starter, Cromartie seems likely to follow Todd Bowles to New York for a reunion with the .39. , LB, : Weatherspoon was the ' top defender before Lisfranc, knee and Achilles injuries limited him to 20 of a po sible 48 games over the last three seasons.40. , WR, : Similar to a few years back, Shorts is a strong after-the-catch threat whose explosivene s has been sapped by lingering soft-ti sue injuries. Word around the campfire is that he is interested in a Cleveland homecoming.41. , RB, : The Gronk generation's answer to Kevin Faulk in New England, Vereen is basically a younger version of at this point. 42. , S, : The weekly #hottakes on his radio appearances are more consistent than his pa s coverage.43. , LB, : Does any team want to bet on lightning striking twice without any more drama? McClain probably has more value to the than any other team. 44. , CB, : Something is in the water in San Francisco, where the have coached up a lot of cornerbacks to career years. Cox played like a pick for much of last season. 45. , G, : True starting guards like Boling usually get paid big money on the open market. 46. , LB, : He's a league average starter who is known as a good leader in the locker room.47. , QB, : Accuracy and durability are i sues, but Locker has a higher ceiling than any of the other quarterback options in free agency. At best, he should compete to start. 48. , RB, : Don't expect a big contract after Forsett's big season, but he's a nice fit for any team running zone blocking. 49. , S, : With few quality safeties out there, Searcy looks like a smart value pickup. 50. , T, : You can plug him in to start at right tackle. 51. , WR, : The good: Britt established a career-high with 48 receptions last season. The bad: He topped 70 yards in just two games.52. , OG, : Too often a liability in pa s protection, Carpenter hasn't lived up to his first-round draft pedigree.Tier 4: Needs the right role53. , G, : He has been a solid starter throughout his career, but is on the wrong side of 30. He'll have suitors. 54. , CB, : Thurmond was a highly effective slot corner in 2013, but that is the only season in which he has stayed healthy.55. , CB, : Playing opposite , Skrine has been targeted more than any cornerback in the league over the past two years. At 5-foot-9 and 185 pounds, he might be viewed as an inside corner on the open market.56. , S, : Lewis salvaged his value by emerging as one of the most consistent Delano Hill Jersey defensive backs in Houston after a subpar showing with the in 2013.57. , QB, : If the goal is to hold the fort for a raw rookie, teams could do a lot worse than Hoyer. If the goal is to contend for the playoffs with Hoyer under center, his limitations will be exposed -- just as they were down the stretch last season.58. , LB, : Foster didn't fit Lovie Smith's defense, but looked like a decent young starter in 2013. Perhaps he could join old friend Raheem Morris in Atlanta. 59. , LB/DE, : Freeney is strictly a situational pa s rusher now, although he can still be effective.60. , RB, : For the right price (one-year, $3.5 million), Bush can still help teams as a pa sing-down threat. 61. , LB, : Carter makes plenty of big plays, but he gives them up as well. 62. , DE, : Aside from , Redding was outplaying anyone on the ' defense in the playoffs last season. 63. , LB, : Peter King once predicted Reed would win Defensive Player of the Year. That should be worth something. 64. , DT, : Quality rotation defensive linemen are not easy to find. Langford was only cut because he was paid big money and was backing up . 65. , TE, : He's a below average starter and an above average backup. 66. , DE, : Jenkins never made the leap as a second-round draft pick billed as the prototype 3-4 defensive end.67. , S, : Adams exceeded expectations as a late-period free-agent signing, solidifying the back end of the ' defense. Will there be much interest in a 34-year-old safety?68. , LB, : Ayers played a key role for the champions after the 2-14 couldn't find a spot for him.69. , WR, : Nicks regained a semblance of his playmaking form down the stretch last season, but the didn't think highly enough of him to bench an obviously struggling .70. , DE, We see Klug as a situational pa s rusher who could surprise with six to eight sacks in a 4-3 defense like Seattle's.71. , S, : Branch was a quality starter in his prime, but severe lower-leg injuries have limited him to just five of 32 games over the past two years. We don't know how he will bounce back at age 28.72. , DT, :He's coming off an injury-plagued season, but run stuffing nose tackles are very hard to find.73. , RB, : Ridley is an interesting power back, albeit one coming off ACL surgery.74. , RB, : Helu might have overtaken as the best screen-pa s specialist in the league last year.75. , RB, : Bradshaw is effective whenever he plays. Unfortunately, that seems to be roughly a half-dozen times per year. One of the most hard-charging backs in the league has been betrayed by his lower legs.76. , DT, : Rubin once had a reputation as a premier run-plugger. The had the league's worst run defense in 2014.77. , DE, : The No. 20 overall pick in the 2011 ended up playing just 36 games in four years with the Bucs. Even when healthy, Clayborn hasn't been disruptive as a pa s rusher.78. , C, : The former er won't work on most teams, but a zone-blocking team needing a starter could do a lot worse. Hello, Gary Kubiak.79. , CB, : Former coach Marc Trestman believed that Tillman was playing at a level early last season. On the other hand, Tillman is a 34-year-old cornerback coming off a second torn triceps injury.80. , LB, : The seven-time selection isn't going to hang with tight ends in coverage in his mid-thirties, but he can still provide solid run defense with a move inside if the opt to bring him back for a 13th season.81. , TE, : Housler is one of the NFL's speediest tight ends, but Bruce Arians doesn't have any use for that species if they don't block. He needs a change of scenery.82. , WR, : A perennial tease.83. , DT, : A late bloomer, Mosley is coming off the most effective season of his 10-year career.84. , RB, Thomas is a role player, but he still does that role (pa sing downs) well. 85. , CB, : An oft-burned first-round draft bust through four seasons, Robinson was noticeably stingier in coverage last year.86. , S, : A career special teamer, Parker started 15 games last season, splitting his time between cornerback and safety. That versatility has value.87. , DE, : Returning from microfracture surgery, Spencer struggled to make an impact before coming on in late December.88. , WR, : He had two recent 1,000-yard seasons and he's not yet 30, but Hartline is best used as a third receiver.89. , DE, : Schofield flashed as a rotational pa s rusher on a team.90. , LB, : Smith went from MVP to benchwarmer in one calendar year. Perhaps Dan Quinn will recruit him to Atlanta.91. , WR, :Only one season removed from a 1,000-yard campaign, Douglas can upgrade plenty of No. 3 receiver slots out there.92. , S, : He's a playmaker at a position that looks awfully thin in this market. 93. , DT, : The longtime stalwart looked reborn as a situational run-stuffer in Seattle last season.94. , FS, : Delmas has struggled with injuries in recent years, but was dependable in Braylon Edwards Jersey the 13 games he appeared in before tearing his ACL in December.95. , SS, : Landry had one of his better seasons in 2014, but isn't a ballhawking safety. A good fit in a Rex Ryan-type of scheme.96. , RB, : Moreno showed his ability in his final season in Denver, but the recurring injury bug bit him again in 2014 in Miami, sidelining him for all but three games.97. , SS, : He never played a ton of snaps in Seattle because the position is so deep, but he's an intriguing talent that could evolve into a starter.98. , DE, : Released by the before last season, Kelly showed a surprising amount of gas left in the tank in Arizona.99. , SS, : He has positional flexibility and the size that teams are looking for in defensive backs.100. , RB, : Rodgers might not do anything that well, but he can catch pa ses, handle short yardage, and do all the little things teams want in a third down back.101. , QB, : We still believed Vick could help a team last offseason, but his heart didn't seem to be in the one-year stint.The " Podcast" is now available on iTunes! to listen and subscribe.
