Pro Football Focus had a good breakdown of the impending free agents in the NFC North. There are a number of good players likely to hit free agency from this group, but most of them are restricted free agents, and those free agents haven't been changing teams in recent years.

But, Sanders was released, so he might be attainable for a good price. I like the skill set he could bring to this
