**Each list will be continually updated as players are signed and released throughout the offseason.**
1. Jacquizz Rodgers, Atlanta, 24
Rodgers has been a third down back but is capable of more. While being a feature back is probably out the question, at 24, Rodgers could share the load for a number of teams. The Falcons will want to keep him of course.
2. Daniel Thomas, Miami, 27
Thomas had a strong rookie year but never quite got a solid grip on the starting job. He's a big, powerful runner with speed. He lacks the goal line vision to complement his frame in the red zone, and he's not shifty either. Thomas is still a viable backup and is probably a bargain this offseason.

3. Stevan Ridley, New England, 27
Here’s a quality back with one huge setback. He isn’t the best at ball security. Ridley is especially dangerous in goal line situations because of his vision and compact frame. He’ll be a lukewarm commodity for teams looking for depth.
4. Pierre Thomas, New Orleans, 30
Thomas has been a mainstay in New Orleans. Other than injuries, he's been a productive back. He's been used in the red zone, between the tackles and was deadly when deployed in the Saints screen game. At 30, teams will wonder how much is left in the tank.

5. Chris Polk, Philadlelphia (RFA), 25
6. Knowshon Moreno, Miami, 27
Moreno has never lived up to the hype. He only has one 1,000 yard season (2013 with the Broncos) in his career. Last year, like so many Moreno's injuries cut out a chunk of his season. He only played in three games carrying the ball 31 times for 148 yards.
7. Ben Tate, Pittsburgh, 27
8. John Kuhn (FB), Green Bay, 32
Kuhn has found niche in Green Bay's offense as a red zone weapon. He can carry in short yardage situations, catch out of the backfield and even being a blocking back in pass protection. The Packers could look to bring him back on a one-year deal at the minimum unless he gets interest in other places.
9. Jonathan Dwyer, Arizona, 26
