In terms of sheer talent, Nnamdi Asomugha will by far be the hottest commodity of players who are expected to be available in the NFL free-agent market.

Fantasy owners should remember the name Greg Little on draft day — the Browns rookie wideout could become a very nice sleeper in 2011.

With all the news lately about players putting their feet in their mouths via Twitter, be sure to tune into “NFL Total Access” on NFL Network tonight. Their in-studio guest will be none other than Buffalo Bills receiver Stevie Johnson.

One could argue there’s a perception building that the role of free agency will be an afterthought in how teams build their defenses to get after the quarterback next season. But that perception might be wrong.

It’s safe to say former Titans coach Jeff Fisher knows Vince Young — the player and the person — as well as anyone, mentoring the former No. 3 overall pick during all five of his seasons in Tennessee.

Ignoring his price tag and the stumbling block his contract represents, what type of receiever would a team be getting in Steve Smith, who hasn’t had more than 70 receptions or 1,000 yards in two seasons?

Reggie Bush should probably stay away from Twitter for a while. After tweeting about his potential final days in New Orleans during the draft, Bush ruffled some feathers by making fun of being locked out. Saying that he was enjoying his time on the beach instead of, you know, trying to get better at football.

I also don’t see Cam Newton as much of a fantasy option, at least not as a rookie. If Newton does beat out Jimmy Clausen for the top spot on Carolina’s depth chart, he’ll be worth a late-round flier in deeper, seasonal leagues. But that’s about the extend of his fantasy value.
