Free Agency is about to start

While most teams will overpay for fading stars, someone is going to clean up by signing left tackle Luke Petitgout (formerly of the Giants) cheaply (seen as injury prone, but only 31) and laughing as he anchors their OL all year. Chance of the 49ers signing him: 4%. Blast.

Also remember the names Dewayne White (Bucs) and Juqua Thomas (Eagles) and be happy if your team signs one of these defensive ends without breaking the bank.

It is with these wise, depth building, low-publicity moves, not the headlining big money deals, that Super Bowl foundations are laid.
