\"NFL\"The NFL free agent signing period is right around the corner.\u00a0 Beginning March 10th, some of the biggest names in professional football will be sporting new colors and maybe even filling swimming pools with cash because\u2026 why not?\u00a0 It\u2019s time for teams who have taken good care of their salary cap to start throwing around great big piles of cash.\u00a0 Will these players be overpaid?\u00a0 Sure, but if they wind up being a contributing piece to a Super Bowl run, no one will be complaining about the price tag.<\/p>\n

As such, many of the best USA sportsbooks<\/a> like Bovada have released several player props as to which jerseys they will take the field in come week one of the NFL season.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most intriguing case this NFL offseason is that of Minnesota Vikings<\/a> running back Adrian Peterson.\u00a0 While conventional wisdom is that the running back position has been de-valued, there is always the exception that proves the rule and in the case of Peterson, even though he\u2019s not even technically a free agent, there should be a long line of interested suitors.<\/p>\n

Following an ugly legal situation which led to a year-long suspension for Peterson, speculations of a trade heated up once the regular season ended.\u00a0 Even so, the Vikings are the favorite to hang onto him for the time being with odds of 5\/6.\u00a0 The Dallas Cowboys<\/a> (9\/4) have been public about courting Peterson, and are seen as the most likely landing spot if Peterson were to run out of town.\u00a0 Also in play are the Indianapolis Colts<\/a> (5\/1,) Arizona Cardinals<\/a>, (9\/1) and San Diego Chargers<\/a> and Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a>.\u00a0 A bet on either of those longshots would warrant a $10 profit for every $1 wagered.<\/p>\n

\"Bovada<\/a>The most interesting free agent who will technically hit the market is Ndamukong Suh.\u00a0 It\u2019s rare a player of Suh\u2019s caliber ever hits the open market, and come mid-March, he will surely be one of the highest paid players in the league.\u00a0 While the Detroit Lions<\/a> are still technically in the running to retain his services, Bovada doesn\u2019t think it very likely.\u00a0 The line on Suh remaining in Detroit is (+200,) or 2\/1 in fractional odds.<\/p>\n

Other high profile free agents in this class are DeMarco Murray who led the NFL in rushing last year.\u00a0 He is a slight favorite to leave home with a line of (-140) to leave, and even odds to be on the Cowboys roster come week one of the regular season.\u00a0 One more free agent betting line is for current Green Bay Packers<\/a> slot receiver Randall Cobb.\u00a0 He is an overwhelming favorite to stay in Green Bay with is hall-of-fame caliber quarterback (-300) versus leaving, (+200) but the beautiful thing about the salary cap era in the NFL is you can never really tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
