Phew. How’s everyone doing after Day 1 of NFL free agency? Well, hopefully you go to bed early and get plenty of sleep because there still are plenty of intriguing players without contracts for next season.
If you put aside the rumors involving players that might get traded — Tony Romo, Malcolm Butler, etc. — perhaps the best available player is linebacker Dont’a Hightower. Oh, and if your favorite team is in need of a running back, there certainly are plenty of options.
