Ten remaining NFL free agents that could be steals

Nickell Robey-Coleman, cornerback, Buffalo Bills

One of the top slot corners in the NFL last season, it was utterly shocking to hear the news that Buffalo released Robey-Coleman. That likely came after the Bills decided that this former USC standout wouldn’t be a fit in Leslie Frazier’s defense this upcoming season.

Even then, there’s no real reason to believe Robey-Coleman can’t latch on with a team in need of an upgrade at the slot position. The 25-year-old corner recorded 30 tackles, seven passes defended, two interceptions and a touchdown last season. He also graded out as one of the top nickel cover guys in the NFL.

Surely, limited to playing inside has impacted Robey-Coleman’s market. It will also likely lead to a value contract, maybe even on a short-term deal. Pure conjecture here but the San Francisco 49ers under new defensive coordinator Robert Saleh could make a ton of sense.

The above-mentioned Dallas Cowboys have a need at corner as well after losing both Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne in free agency. Either way, expect Robey-Coleman’s market to play out prior to the NFL draft next month.
