Below is a list of free agents (available or not). We could find a "Bandaid" for the interim where next years Draft class will be Safety strong. Some key things to note "UFA" means unrestricted free agent; "RFA" means restricted free agent; "FFA" means frachise free agent; "cut" means he became an unrestricted free agent after being released by his previous team. We did not have much depth at the safety position and although Jackson was not that great last year, he was the best safety we had and "sadly" we lost Sean Jones (sarcasm).
