2011 NFL Free Agent Positions:
QB | RB | FB | WR | TE | OT | G | C | DE | DT | OLB | ILB | CB | S | K/P | Recap

2011 Free Agency: Star rating is out of five. Age listing as of Sept. 1, 2011.

Owen Daniels, TE, Texans. Age: 27.
Re-signed with Texans

Clearly over his ACL tear, Owen Daniels caught 22 passes for 271 yards and two touchdowns in the final four weeks of the season.
Zach Miller, TE, Raiders. Age: 25.
Signed with Seahawks

Zach Miller has caught at least 56 passes in each of the previous three years. I’d like to see what he could do in a more potent passing attack.
Marcedes Lewis, TE, Jaguars. Age: 27.
Re-signed with Jaguars (5 years, $35 million; $18 million guaranteed)

Marcedes Lewis finally lived up to expectations, catching 58 balls for 700 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2010. Isn’t it a bit convenient though that he finally played well when he was in his contract year? Be careful, Jags.
Kevin Boss, TE, Giants. Age: 27.
Signed with Raiders (4 years, $16 million)

Kevin Boss is a decent end zone target (16 TDs last 3 years) and a solid blocker.
Todd Heap, TE, Ravens. Age: 31.
Signed with Cardinals (2 years)

Todd Heap could be brought back to Baltimore at a cheaper price, but he’s obviously a declining player who will only lose time to Ed Dickson and Dennis Pitta despite the fact that he hauled in 10 receptions in a victory over Kansas City in the playoffs.
Alge Crumpler, TE, Patriots. Age: 33.
Alge Crumpler provides very little in the passing game, but he’s a very good blocking tight end despite the fact that he’s 33 years old.
Evan Moore (ERFA), TE, Browns. Age: 29.
Tendered by Browns

Evan Moore caught 16 balls for 322 yards and a touchdown this year, averaging 20.1 yards per reception. A former college basketball player, Moore wasn’t used nearly enough in 2010.
