Offense
QB: Brett Favre... Other options: Rex Grossmanand J.P. Losman.
RB: Edgerrin James – His once-great burst is gone, but he’s still workmanlike. Other options: Warrick Dunn, Deuce McAllisterand Rudi Johnson.
FB: Cecil Sapp – Better athlete than most fullbacks, but still nothing special.
TE: Ben Troupe – Best from a mediocre offering. Other options: Mark Campbell and Dan Campbell.
No. 1 WR: Plaxico Burress – Legal issues are holding him up, but he’ll play.
No. 2 WR: Amani Toomer – Only 16 months ago, Toomer and Burress helped win a Super Bowl. Other options: Marvin Harrison, Drew Bennett and Joe Jurevicius.
LT: Levi Jones – Injuries curtailed a nice career, but he’s still only 29.
LG: Mark Tauscher – He’s a tackle, but could easily switch inside.
C: Jeremy Newberry – His knees are bad, but they have been forever.
RG: Pete Kendall – Smart, tough, but a lot of mileage.
RT: Jon Runyan – Biggest if of an iffy group. His knee still isn’t healthy. Other O-line options: Fred Miller, Jonas Jennings, Wayne Gandy, Melvin Fowler and Jason Whittle.
Defense
DE: Kalimba Edwards– He’s 33 and banged up, but still has some pass-rush skill.
DE: Ebenezer Ekuban – Pretty nice pass rusher still out there on the market.
DT: Kevin Carter – Amazing longevity, productivity and versatility.
DT: Ellis Wyms – Has his limitations, but is a very tough player.Other D-line options: Dewayne Robertson, John Engelberger and La’Roi Glover.
LB: Morlon Greenwood – At 31, he’s one of the youngest starters.
LB: Pisa Tinoisamoa – A tackle machine, but he better play in a two-gap system.
LB: Derrick Brooks – Still can bring great leadership to a young defense. Other options: Napoleon Harris, Paris Lenon, Antwan Peek and Nate Webster.
CB: Chris McAlister – Coming off injury and has lost speed, but still very physical.
CB: Ty Law – Perennial late-signee can still make a couple of plays if the offense isn’t careful. Other options: Jason Craft, Dre Bly, Deltha O’Neal and Roderick Hood.
SS: Lawyer Milloy – Years of physical play have taken their toll, but he’s really smart.
FS: Dexter Jackson – Has lost a step, but who on this team hasn’t? Other safety options: Mike Brown, Michael Boulware, Kevin Kaesviharn and Will Demps.
