The NFL free agency period is winding down after a fast start and on the offensive line, names like Eric Winston and Richie Incognito are still available for teams and clubs like the Philadelphia Eagles, Arizona Cardinals, Chicago Bears, Oakland Raiders, NY Jets and Green Bay Packers could be in the mix for those free agents as spring workouts begin in the coming weeks.
Winston went through a similar situation last year when he remained on the market through the spring before signing with the Cardinals, while Incognito is dealing with the fallout from what happened in Miami last season. According to ESPN.com, Incognito expressed a desire to return to the Dolphins, but the team has no intention of bringing him back and they feel that a clean break from what happened with Jonathan Martin is the only way to move forward. The website added that the Oakland Raiders are a possible destination for Incognito, as Mark Davis said the team may consider the option if Reggie McKenzie thinks the fit is a good move.
Winston is on the market as a right tackle, but he can play multiple positions and after playing for the Chiefs and the Cardinals the past two years, he is waiting for the right deal to come along. Someone will sign him eventually, whether it be over the summer or before training camp and after getting worried last season, Winston said to ESPN.com that he isn't concerned this time around. Last season Winston gave up just seven sacks in 16 games and he could be a fit with a number of teams, including the Raiders as well as the Dallas Cowboys, NY Jets and Philadelphia Eagles.
The Miami Dolphins led the league last season while giving up nearly 60 sacks and now they are trying to rework their offensive line after signing Branden Albert at left tackle. The Jaguars, Browns, Bills, Ravens, Jets and Eagles all were in the top 10 in sacks give up last season and that could lead to one of those teams adding one of these players. The NFL draft will give teams a chance to snag and OL, with Greg Robinson and Jake Matthews as the top rated players right now.
