Brian Hartline is in contract year. He may be in a better offensive system in 2013 (Pats?). At 25, he's a speculative stash.

Good posting. Uncanny how often that works out for a guy.

Now that redrafts are long out of the way, I think this is interesting information for dynasty/keeper leagues.

In dynasty, keeper, or contract leagues, it's often a good idea to keep an eye on players who may be in different situations next year or backups who may have a chance at a starting job.

I've struck out players who have signed deals with their current teams. I've added a couple players to the original list in italics.

So from what it looks like the following teams will have a hole to fill if the current starter is not re-signed or franchised:

QB: Baltimore

RB: Miami, Pittsburgh, New York Jets, St. Louis

WR 1: Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Green Bay, Miami, & New England (if you consider Welker a WR1), & New York Giants (if you're worried about Cruz's restricted free agency status)

TE: Tennessee, Washington, New York Jets

Edit: formatting

 

[Young 8]

RB: Miami, Pittsburgh, New York Jets, St. Louis

They already have Richardson & Pead for the post-Sjax era

 

[FF Ninja]

I don't think it would be shocking if they grabbed another guy if Pead isn't looking legit. Fisher likes RBs.

You can also add Dwyer and Redman as RFAs.

Giants will resign Cruz before end of season most likely.
