NFL Rumor Wire: Big Names Still Available

It's almost time for the second weekend in NFL free agency, and a few big names are still on the market.

Most of these names are only available through trade, but other players are still free agents.

Here are the latest rumors...

 
DeAngelo Hall 

Trade talks in recent days have died down from their original frenzy, but Hall remains on the market for anyone interested.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are unofficially out of the race after they signed Drayton Florence to a $6 million yearly contract.

Hall, who is entering the final year of his contract, has sparked the attention of the New York Giants.

 
Larry Fitzgerald 

Some reports say that Fitzgerald will stay in Arizona, but other sources have him exploring a trade.

The Philadelphia Eagles have expressed interest in trading for Fitzgerald, if he doesn't agree to a restructured deal with the Cardinals. Other teams are interested as well.

If the Eagles can't get their hands on Fitzgerald, they will most likely settle for Torry Holt or Roy Williams.

 
Mark Brunell 

With the recent retirement of Brett Favre, the Packers are looking to add a veteran quarterback to back-up and mentor young Aaron Rodgers.

According to Brunell's agent, five teams have shown interest in signing Brunell.

Interestingly, Brunell began his career in 1993 as Brett Favre's backup in Green Bay.

 
Pacman Jones 

The end of Jones' season-long suspension has come, and he is expressing interest in returning to the NFL.

Although there is no word out of Dallas, Jones has expressed his desire to play for the Dallas Cowboys, or, as he calls it, "America's Team".

 
Julius Jones 

Jones is a hot commodity these days. He is fresh off visits to Detroit, Seattle, and Tennessee, and is planning trips to Chicago and Philadelphia soon.

Jones is widely considered to be the best running back available through free agency.
