The 2012 NFL Free agency period begins in 26 days. As such, it's time to start looking at the free agents that will hit the market this year, assuming franchise tags are not applied (like Drew Brees). This also does not include someone like Peyton Manning, who is not a free agent unless he does get released; these are the players with expiring contracts.
To start this off, we will start where everything starts for the NFL. The quarterbacks:
