Sports Pickle Poll
Who is the best available NFL free agent?
- Julius Peppers, DE -- he can rush the passer and also help on the offensive glass
- Thomas Jones, RB -- Jones has played for the Cardinals, Bears and Jets; he probably just really wants to win now
- Chester Taylor, RB -- Taylor doesn't have the gaudy fumbling numbers of teammate Adrian Peterson, but he's very productive
- Aaron Kampman, DE -- Kampman is white and plays for the Packers. Let's assume he's "tough", has "a lot of heart" and is a "great teammate".
- Darren Sharper, S -- Sharper led the NFL in interceptions last year with the Saints, although he did get to play in the same division as Jake Delhomme
- LaBrian Tomlinbrook, RB -- he's no longer in his prime, but he'll definitely sell some tickets to a team's dumber fans
