Here's a look at the top 5 players at each position as free agency gets underway ...
Top Five Running Backs
Pos.
Name
Info
1
Derrick Ward
Ran for more than 1,000 yards despite being a backup. Ward has a good combination of size and elusiveness. Should be a solid starter for some team.
2
Fred Taylor
Veteran runner struggled in 2008 after having strong seasons the prior two years. Should be a good fit for a team that uses a rotation.
3
Cedric Benson
Former top five pick had some good games for the Bengals down the stretch. Forget about him ever being an elite player, but Benson can be an effective starter.
4
Warrick Dunn
Dunn is now 34 and no longer a workhorse. He was a very effective backup for Tampa this year, racking up more than 1,000 total yards.
5
Correll Buckhalter
Longtime backup would love a chance to start or at least play in a run-heavy offense.
