WHO'S POTENTIALLY OUT THERE?


NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal released his list of the top 101 potential free agents, which has been updated multiple times and has seven safeties as of Monday, before the legal tampering period started, including Harris:


23. John Johnson III, 37. Anthony Harris, 57. Jaquiski Tartt, 64. Xavier Woods, 68. Keanu Neal, 85. Malik Hooker and 99. Rayshawn Jenkins


A third-round pick in 2017, Johnson has spent the past four seasons with the Rams. He started all 16 games for the Los Angeles Rams last season and racked up 105 tackles (league stats); he also added two tackles for loss, eight passes defensed and his eighth career interception.


Tartt has spent all six seasons of his career thus far in San Francisco, but he has yet to play all 16 games in a season. He started all seven of the games he played in 2020 and snagged an interception and four passes defensed, but turf toe sent Tartt to Injured Reserve in November.


The 2020 season marked Woods' fourth with the Cowboys – and first without an interception. He had a down year stats-wise, despite starting 15 games for a Dallas defense that struggled.


Neal was highly touted as the 17th overall draft pick by Atlanta in 2016, but he's also missed significant time due to injury. He totaled just four games in 2018 and 2019 but started 14 of 15 games played last season. He recorded 100 tackles (league stats), an interception, 1.0 sack, nine tackles for loss, two passes defensed and a fumble recovery.


Hooker played in just two games for the Colts in 2020, totaling seven tackles. He was added to Injured Reserve after rupturing his Achilles against the Vikings. The 2017 first-round pick will turn 25 on April 2.


A fourth-round pick in 2017, Jenkins became a starter in 2019 and recorded three interceptions. He added two more last season and has recorded four passes defensed in each of the past two seasons.
