NFL Top Free Agents and Signings: CBs
As the NFL prepares for free agency to open on March 10, TSN.ca takes a look a the top free agents at each position. Today, the running back market, headlined by DeMarco Murray and Mark Ingram, is tackled.
Byron Maxwell
Age: 27

Maxwell didn't get a lot of attention playing opposite Richard Sherman in Seattle the past four years, but his time in the spotlight will come soon. The 27-year-old has quietly been a very good complement to Sherman on a strong Seahawks defence.
Antonio Cromartie
Age: 30

Cromartie is getting up there in age for a cornerback (30), but is still one of the best cover men in the league. He likely won't receive elite CB money, but could play near that level for a couple more seasons.
Brandon Flowers
Re-signed with Chargers (four years, $36 million)
2014 Stats
-

-

-
PD10

Flowers was a bit of a surprise cut by the Chiefs a year ago and after a decent season with the Chargers, could be looking for a longer stay with a team. At 29, he should still have a few strong seasons ahead of him.
Tramon Williams
Age: 31
2014 Stats
-
Tk71
-
Int3
-
PD13
-
FF0
Williams' age could hold his demand back a little, but the 31-year-old has missed just one game in his eight years with the Packers. His statistics have been steady and solid the whole time as well.
Kareem Jackson
Re-signed with Texans (four years, $34 million)
2014 Stats
-
Tk57
-
Int3
-
PD9
-
FF0
Jackson is slightly younger than most of the big names available at cornerback and should have plenty left to offer after five solid seasons with the Texans.
Buster Skrine
Age: 25
2014 Stats
-
Tk67
-
Int4
-
PD18
-
FF0
A former fifth-round selection, Skrine hits free agency after just four years of service. He's coming off a career year that included four interceptions.
Chris Culliver
Age: 26
2014 Stats
-
Tk45
-
Int4
-
PD15
-
FF1
Culliver returned from missing all of 2013 with a torn ACL to play well in 2014. His four interceptions and 15 pass defences were both career highs, proving he didn't lose a step to surgery.
