1965 Free Agency Preview

1965 Free Agency Preview

This season’s free agency pool is certainly not the most game-changing, with mainly veterans being near the top, however, there are still some younger talents that will be available. DB Malik Davenport will enter his first-ever free agency window as the top target after helping the Blue Wings to a title last season. He should provide stability at a #2 or #3 option for teams. Jared Francis follows suit as a similar option, however, he is a couple of years older. LB Joe Larkin could be an interesting target as the 27-year-old is looking for a new home after the Mariners decided not to keep him protected. The LB did not get picked, but he believes the Mariners may not want him back anyway. There will be some solid offensive options for teams with QB Robert Humphrey and QB Rigobert St-Hilaire available for backup roles and WR Darryl Duke, RB Eddie Thompson, and TE Paul McDowell available as veteran pieces. There will be some younger pieces available with QB Joshua Nolan, who was a second-round pick, WR Stuart Smalls, and S Nick Dixon.
