When CBA Gets Settled, Plenty of Safeties Will Be Available

When it comes to the draft, safeties often are afterthoughts. This weekend, several teams made it clear that it's not much different when it comes to free agency.

Week 12 IDP Rankings: Defensive Backs

While I don't recommend dropping a top DB like Washington safety LaRon Landry, freak-of-the-week DeAngelo Hall (oh my goodness), Eagles safety Quintin Mikell or...
