• The Broncos are quietly shopping disgruntled receiver Javon Walker, but they are finding few takers on the market for the former Pro Bowl receiver. According to a league source, teams are hesitant to make a serious play for Walker due to concerns about his knee and the possibility of additional surgery.

Although teams still regard Walker as an outstanding talent, it is unlikely that the Broncos will find a willing suitor to take on Walker at his current salary number. With Walker due a significant roster bonus ($3.5 million), look for the Broncos to simply part ways with the unhappy star if a team fails to meet their trade demands.

• Don't be surprised to see several teams make a strong run at free agent corner Drayton Florence. With Marcus Trufant and Nmandi Asomugha likely receiving franchise tags, Florence becomes the best available corner on the market after Asante Samuel. Florence, who finished the season with two interceptions and 10 break-ups, has man-to-man cover skills that several teams covet and his ability to slide inside to the nickel position makes him a hot commodity on the open market. Look for corner-starved teams, such as the Titans and Texans, to make a play for Florence. Other unheralded corners sure to generate strong interest on the market will include Jacque Reeves, Randall Gay, Benny Sapp and Travis Fisher.

• Despite the presence of Pro Bowl safety Ken Hamlin on the open market, several teams rank Gibril Wilson as the top safety prospect available in free agency. Wilson, who is coming off his best season as a pro (four interceptions), possesses the range, ball skills and awareness that teams covet from a deep-middle player.

Although Hamlin finished with five interceptions, teams voiced concerns about his awareness and discipline in coverage. According to one AFC scout, "Hamlin had an outstanding year, but Wilson is a more dependable and steady player in the back end." An NFC scout added, "Wilson was the glue that kept the Giants' secondary together when the injury bug bit them."

• Another unheralded free agent generating a lot of interest is OLB/DE Calvin Pace. After being shuttled back and forth between outside linebacker and defensive end during his first four seasons as a pro, Pace finally displayed the pass-rushing skills that made him the Cardinals' first round selection in 2003.

Pace finished the season with six-and-a-half sacks and is held in high regard due to his motor and versatility. Teams envision him blossoming into a double-digit sack artist in the right scheme.

Expect the Cardinals to make a strong attempt to re-sign him, but look for the Jets, Titans and Patriots to be among the bidders if he hits the open market.
