As mini camps and rookie symposiums begin there is a lot of veteran talent still on the wavier wire. The position of wide receiver is busting at the seams with talent. Players like Marvin Harrison, Armani Toomer and Ike Hilliard are still looking for jobs.
Just as flush with talent is the Running Back corps of free agency with Edgerrin James, Warrick Dunn, Deuce McAllister, Rudi Johnson and Tatum Bell collecting unemployment checks.
If that wasn’t enough we have 2 free agent Quarterbacks sitting around shining their Superbowl rings, Brett Farve and Brad Johnson. Looks like a lot of teams are relying on their rookie squads this year. Expect a faster, harder NFL 2009 season.
