2010 Free Agency Preveiw: Defensive Ends

Without a salary cap, the 2010 crop of free agents looks bleak, but there could be more players available for trades, and more players will be released. Here is a list of the top ten defensive ends scheduled to be unrestricted free agents at the start of free agency.

  1. Julius Peppers - Peppers has been rumored to be heading to either New England, Philadelphia, Chicago, Seattle, or Cleveland. Has one of the most talented skill sets in the NFL.
  2. Aaron Kampman - The biggest name out there right now for Kampman is the Bears. I dount he will play in a 3-4 scheme in 2010, after he was not as successful playing there in 2009.
  3. Kyle Vanden Bosh - The Titans have reached out to Vanden Bosh, but I don't think he will stay in Tennessee. Again the Eagles could target Vanden Bosch. Is a poor man's Jared Allen.
  4. Adewale Ogunleye - The Bears don't want him back at the price he is looking for. I think he will stay a while on the market and end up having to lower his demands. Might end up re-signing with the Bears.
  5. Leonard Little - Some around the league think he can still get ten sack seasons. The Panthers and the Redskins among others have been rumored to be interested in Little.
  6. Vonnie Holliday - Holliday did a great job in his first season in Denver, but the Broncos may decide to let Holliday walk and pass the reigns to second year Robert Ayers.
  7. Derrick Burgess - His first season in New England did not work out. If he is used correctly, I think he can succeed.
  8. Cory Redding - After playing defensive tackle in Detroit, Redding switched to defensive end in 2009.
  9. James Hall - Had another solid season in 2009. Is an ideal third defensive end, with versatility to play defensive tackle on passing downs.
  10. Jimmy Wilkerson - Was a pleasant surprise the first couple of weeks in the 2009 season, but faded away as the year went by.

Quarterbacks - Running Backs -Tight Ends - Wide Receivers - Offensive Tackles - Offensive Guards - Centers - Defensive Ends - Defensive Tackles - Outside Linebackers - Inside Linebackers - Cornerbacks - Safeties - Kickers - Punters - Long Snappers
