2013 NFL Free Agents: Safeties




2013 NFL Free Agent Positions:
QB | RB | FB | WR | TE | OT | G | C | DE | DT | OLB | ILB | CB | S | K/P | FA Grades | Winners/Losers



2013 NFL Free Agency: Star rating is out of five. Age listing as of Sept. 1, 2013.
Follow me @walterfootball for updates.

  1. Jairus Byrd, S, Bills. Age: 26.
    Franchised by Bills

    Jairus Byrd is one of the top safeties in football. He shuts everything down in coverage - he was responsible for no touchdowns all year - and he constantly comes up with turnovers. He's also decent in run support and is seldom penalized. He deserves a massive contact.

  2. Dashon Goldson, S, 49ers. Age: 28.
    Signed with Buccaneers (5 years)

    Dashon Goldson had some issues in coverage back in 2011, but did what he needed to do to correct them this past season. Goldson made the Pro Bowl for good reason.



  3. Louis Delmas, S, Lions. Age: 26.
    Re-signed with Lions (2 years)

    Louis Delmas is one of the most talented safeties in the NFL, but he just can't stay healthy. He's missed 13 games in the past two seasons.

  4. Glover Quin, S, Texans. Age: 27.
    Signed with Lions

    A converted cornerback, Glover Quin has starred in his new safety role over the past couple of years. He was particularly sound in 2012, so he deserves a nice contract.

  5. William Moore, S, Falcons. Age: 28.
    Re-signed with Falcons (5 years, $30 million)

    William Moore missed the final quarter of the season with a hamstring injury, but he performed extremely well in all facets otherwise.

  6. Kerry Rhodes, S, Cardinals. Age: 31.
    Kerry Rhodes has had an up-and-down career, and it was definitely up last year. Rhodes was great in 2012 in all facets of the game. Unfortunately for him, he'll be 31 in August, so his best days are behind him.

  7. Kenny Phillips, S, Giants. Age: 26.
    Signed with Eagles

    Kenny Phillips is one of the better safeties when healthy, but he missed most of 2012 with a knee injury.

  8. Ed Reed, S, Ravens. Age: 34.
    Signed with Texans (2 years)

    Ed Reed will turn 35 in September, but he still played at a high level for the Ravens this past season despite battling an injury.



  9. Stevie Brown (RFA), S, Giants. Age: 26.
    Re-signed with Giants (1 year, $2 million)

    Stevie Brown was impressive in relief of an injured Kenny Phillips, picking off eight passes. His one weakness is run support.

  10. LaRon Landry, S, Jets. Age: 28.
    Signed with Colts (4 years)

    No one wanted LaRon Landry last offseason. He was considered an injury waiting to happen. Well, he proved everyone wrong with a solid 2012 campaign. He should still be considered fragile, but he has definitely earned himself a nice contract.

  11. Quintin Mikell, S, Rams. Age: 32.
    Quintin Mikell will be 33 in mid-September, but he's still a very solid safety. He was released because he was due $6 million. He can still start.

  12. Gerald Sensabaugh, S, Cowboys. Age: 30.
    Cutting Gerald Sensabugh saved the Cowboys just $1.4 million in cap space, so this was a strange move. Sensabaugh isn't very good in run support, but he's pretty solid in coverage. He can be a good starter for some team, though he'll have to fight through a very competitive free-agent safety class.

  13. Bernard Pollard, S, Ravens. Age: 28.
    Signed with Titans (1 year)

    Bernard Pollard isn't particularly good in coverage, but he's awesome in run support and has a knack for knocking out opposing players - especially if they happen to be New England Patriots.

  14. Charles Woodson, S/CB, Packers. Age: 36.
    Signed with Raiders (1 year)

    Charles Woodson was released because of financial reasons, so it's not like the Packers don't think he can't play anymore. While Woodson isn't nearly the elite defensive back he used to be, he can still get the job done as a soon-to-be 37-year-old (in October).

  15. George Wilson, S, Bills. Age: 32.
    Signed with Titans

    George Wilson has been an underrated safety for the Bills over the years. He played well this past season, but was deemed expendable when he suffered a neck injury and 2011 fourth-rounder Da'Norris Searcy played well in his place.

  16. Chris Clemons, S, Dolphins. Age: 27.
    Re-signed with Dolphins (1 year)

    Chris Clemons proved to be a quality starting safety for the Dolphins this past year. He was penalized only twice, though he had trouble tackling on occasion.

  17. Patrick Chung, S, Patriots. Age: 26.
    Signed with Eagles (3 years)

    Patrick Chung missed several weeks in 2012 with multiple injuries, but he performed well when he was healthy, particularly in run support.

  18. Michael Huff, S, Raiders. Age: 30.
    Signed with Ravens

    Michael Huff is a cap casualty; the Raiders couldn't afford his $4 million salary in 2013. Huff is still a quality safety who is versatile enough to play cornerback effectively.

  19. Nate Clements, S/CB, Bengals. Age: 33.
    Nate Clements, who turned 33 in December, had to play safety this past year because Taylor Mays was such a liability in coverage. He'll probably have to stay at safety given his declining skills.



  20. Ronde Barber, S, Buccaneers. Age: 38.
    Announced retirement

    It's remarkable that Ronde Barber was able to perform on such a high level this past season as a 37-year-old. He could retire though.

  21. Chris Crocker, S, Bengals. Age: 33.
    Chris Crocker is still an OK starting safety, but he'll be 33 in March. His best days are behind him.

  22. Adrian Wilson, S, Cardinals. Age: 33.
    Signed with Patriots

    Adrian Wilson is a former Pro Bowler, but he didn't play very well in 2012. In fact, he was demoted out of nickel packages. His starting days could be over.

  23. Colt Anderson (RFA), S, Eagles. Age: 27.
    Colt Anderson is not very physically gifted, but he's an instinctive safety who performed well for the Eagles down the stretch. He's also great on special teams.

  24. Corey Lynch, S, Chargers. Age: 28.
    Corey Lynch is an awesome special-teamer who performed well as a starting safety down the stretch in place of an injured Atari Bigby.

  25. Yeremiah Bell, S, Jets. Age: 35.
    Signed with Cardinals

    Yeremiah Bell had a surprisingly decent year for the Jets, but he'll be 35 in March.

  26. Dawan Landry, S, Jaguars. Age: 30.
    Signed with Jets

    Dawan Landry is a pretty mediocre safety who is decent in run support. He's not a massive liability, but he probably shouldn't be a starter.

I thought I read the Ed Reed deal was three years. Could be wrong and I don't think it really matters as I think Reed plays 2013 and maybe 2014 but I doubt any more than that anyway.

I say ask Delmas to take a pay cut to try and sign someone to pair him with and if he says no say fine and go for Moore, and pair him with Bell on the back end

Surprised at Landry getting 3 stars, he was able to keep healthy and saw one of his best seasons where everything else around him in the Jets organization was disastrous.

I promise you he will not be the 10th most pursued Safety

Not as obsessed with Walt to follow his website every-year as you are... Or should I say as Walt is? Hi Walt! In fact, it's the first year I've ever really looked at this garbage site, or the Walt's "intelligent" rankings of college players and/or free agents.

Are you eating Millen's kielbasa? Patrick Chung is a *** star safety? He is so bad he lost his job to Steve Grgeroy and is behind Tavon Wilson, a rookie, on the depth chart. He has a lwo football IQ and the only things he can do consistently are get flagged for penalties and leave the game with an injury. Do you even watch the Patriots play?

He's not doing all positions on the same day, he's rolling out a couple positions at a time. Which you should have noticed, also you should have noticed he's included kickers every year so again common sense would preclude you from making your statement.

@Inconsistancy from Walt as usual

So by that logic, Tom Brady is a nobody 6th round pick... Right?

Last year, Walt said that Isaac Sopoaga and Ray McDonald were backup caliber players...and now they are part of the amazing front seven Goldson has in front of him.
