The 2012 NFL Free Agency period begins in 23 days. Today we continue our look at players expected to become free agents on March 13. This list, as with the free agent quarterbacks and free agent running backs lists, before it, does not project players that could get the franchise tag (Wes Welker), nor does it anticipate players who could be released by the team. This is simply a list of players with expiring contracts.
