The NFL schedule is moving into Week 3 and some teams may look at adding free agents and some names on the market include Montee Ball, Terrelle Pryor, Ray Rice, Hakeem Nicks, Trent Richardson, Steven Jackson, Wes Welker and Felix Jones. The Dallas Cowboys, Cleveland Browns, Oakland Raiders, Chicago Bears, Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots all could look at adding players, as they are dealing with injuries and/or depth issues this week.
After Week 2 some teams have been dealing with injuries and that could spark some interest in the free agents on the market. Most teams have solid depth options to step up for injured players, but others are not so lucky and that could get some players in for workouts. The Cowboys have Dez Bryant out for at least eight weeks and it could be longer and that could lead to the team adding another wide receiver.
The Cowboys appear set at running back after adding Christine Michael from the Seahawks and while Brice Butler was a good addition from the Raiders, they could be looking to add more depth. The latest reports have Dez Bryant out for at least 10 weeks and if that's the case, the Cowboys could look at signing someone they worked out last week. According to the Dallas Morning News, Hakeem Nicks worked out with the team last week along with Austin Pettis, Clyde Gates and Nick Toon.
Terrell Pryor was let go by the Browns and he has been getting attention from teams, as NFL.com reports that Pryor has worked out for the Patriots. The report says that Pryor has more workouts on the horizon, including with the NY Jets and the Seattle Seahawks. Both teams could use some depth at wide receiver and Pryor also can be an emergency QB option if injuries happen.
The Browns got a nice win on Sunday against the Titans and the team could continue to look for another running back with Robert Turbin out with an injury. Isaiah Crowell and Duke Johnson are solid options along with Shaun Draughn, but the Browns may want some more depth at the position moving forward. According to NFL.com, the team has been linked with both Ray Rice and Montee Ball this season, but no deal is close to happening as of right now. Ball was let go by the Broncos before the season started and he also could be a fit for the Raiders and the Atlanta Falcons.
Tevin Coleman is dealing with an injury for Atlanta and according to Pro Football Talk, the Falcons were one of the first teams to show interest in Ball when he was waived. The team has Devonta Freeman and they like his potential, but if Coleman is banged up they may want to add another player to the mix. According to the Denver Post, the Falcons showed interest in Ball earlier in the month and if Coleman is out, they could bring him in for a workout. Trent Richardson has not received much attention since getting released by the Raiders.
