We are little over a week from free agency and there are numerous discussions about the top free agents but lets talk about some under the radar free agents, like Nick Fairley last year.
A guy I have my eye on is Datone Jones, DL/OLB of the Packers.
Jones was drafted in the 1st round of the 2013 draft and was expected to play DE in the Packers 3-4. He was a little undersized for the position and after two seasons the Packers moved him to OLB. He performed fairly well in a reserve role even after putting on weight. Now at 6'4" and 285 lbs. if seems he may be playing out of position in the 3-4 as an OLB and could transition into a 4-3 defensive end. Ted Thompson has reportedly been interested in re-signing him to a 1 year deal and he has mutual interest however I think ML/SP/DA can convince him he may be better off changing scenery and position again.
What do you think? Are there any other under the radar guys?
