The off-season is an important time for NFL teams. It’s when they can start planning their strategies for the next season, draft in the rookies who they hope will become the future mainstays of their teams and generally get their houses in order. 

It’s also when plenty of free agents appear, floating around with the option of signing for a new franchise. While the very best are snapped up fairly quickly, plenty remain on the market.

There have been some good choices, and some not so good ones, in the past. But any of these ten could prove to be well worth snapping up.

Brandon Scherff

Even though he’s 34 now there may still be plenty left in the tank for Scherff. Last season he had a very respectable 93.8% pass block win rate for the Jacksonville Jaguars and the second highest of his decade-long career. He has managed to remain relatively injury free over the years – and let’s not forget that back in 2015 he was a top five pick in the draft.

Tyler Lockett

For many seasons Lockett has been a dependable, if unspectacular, part of the Seattle Seahawks set-up. But over the ten seasons he has played in at least 15 games a year. That said, his lightning speed of old may have dissipated slightly although he can still move round the field effectively enough to make himself available to the QB.

Mike Hilton

If you’re looking for a player who’s going to hang on in there and could even improve a team’s odds in the sports betting, you’ve found him in Mike Hilton. He’s a cornerback who always carries himself with a real sense of urgency. So while he may not be the biggest on the field, he’s always one of the hardest working. Last season he made 12 tackles for loss and eight pressures while his career record is 13 interceptions, 11.5 sacks and 34 pass break-ups.

Kyzir White

Linebackers who may be slightly past their prime aren’t always top of the shopping list but Kyzir White should be an exception. He’s long been an unsung hero for the Arizona Cardinals where coach Jonathan Gannon has certainly brought out the best in him after their relationship started back with the Philadelphia Eagles. Last season saw him notching up nine tackles and 2.5 sacks, more than enough to catch the eye of a prospective new coach.

J K Dobbins

With stats like 27 carries of ten yards or more and a 2024 season that saw him achieving 907 rushing yards Dobbins looks like a free agent who won’t be free for very long. The one question hanging over him is how long he can go without injury striking him down. His 2023 season started with a torn achilles and since then a knee problem sidelined him for four games. But when he’s fit he’s explosive, it’s just a question staying that way.

Rasul Douglas

Over his career Douglas has put in the hard yards for both the Green Bay Packers and his current team, the Buffalo Bills. He’s never been the fastest cornerback in the sport and 2024 saw him slowing down still further. But his skills as a major disrupter remain as many pass catchers have discovered to their cost. So there’s definitely a role for him as a perimeter player in a team.

Justin Simmons

In many ways Simmons typifies the journeyman player. He’s solid without ever being spectacular and that’s just how he’s spent his time with the Atlanta Falcons. He’ll be hoping to revive the sort of playing standard that has seen him making multiple interceptions over his nine-season career to date.

Asante Samuel Jr.

Here’s another free agent who might be wishing he had a better medical history. He was only good for four games last season thanks to a shoulder injury. But when he’s fit he’s fast and got great game awareness. He’s also hoping to follow in his father’s footsteps as a playmaker who makes a difference.

Amari Cooper

His stats alone make Cooper well worthy of consideration. Last season he caught 44 passes for 547 yards and made four touchdowns. He’s also made over the 1000-yard receiving mark in seven of his nine seasons.

Aaron Rodgers

He might never make MVP again and he has undoubtedly had a turbulent couple of seasons at the New York Jets. But once a great QB, always one worth watching. He might not even want to play, he is 42, after all. If he does, there are sure to be several teams who would be proud to have him on the roster.

So there they are. Ten great free agents – and as to where they could be heading we’ll just have to wait and see.

There are many color prediction games available which are quite simple to play and entertaining. But these are not the necessary keys to win frequently. The number of players who use AI tools increases, and these tools help them raise their chance. 

Well, how can you harness the power of an Artificial Intelligence bot in such games? Let’s explore in simple terms.

What is AI in Gaming?

AI, or Artificial Intelligence is a smart computer technology. It can detect patterns, infer what may happen in the future and adapt with regard to its previous behaviors. This is because, in color prediction games, AI can assist players to come up with much more accurate predictions after analyzing data and results of the previous predictions.

How AI Helps in Color Prediction Games

AI doesn’t guess randomly. Unlike other algorithms that use statistical probabilities on previous games to make a prediction, it arrives at a result based on logic. This makes it easier for the player to win a match. Some smart tools even provide detailed recommendations related to real-time updates.

It is, however, important to understand that when using AI, you do not always have to be a winner. But it can serve as a guide and make decision making easier for you instead of just taking random shots blindly.

Using Apps with AI Features

Most current gaming platforms are increasingly incorporating features associated with artificial intelligence assistance for the players. 

An example of the emerging players in this space is https://www.91-clubb.in, which not only has varied color prediction games but also various other sporting activities to make money. This makes it great for those who would like to engage in variety while playing a strategic game.

AI Helps with Smarter Time Management

AI also allows you to optimize your time better. AI tools can instead suggest skipping turns every round, rather than having to play every round. It saves you from any risks that are not beneficial. This selective play only improves over time. Second, it also makes discipline as important as choosing the right color.

Simple Ways to Use AI in Color Prediction

1. Pattern Recognition

AI can see patterns in the past outcomes. For instance, if an occurrence of a color occurs right after this sequence, AI will notice that.

2. Probability Checking

AI tools will calculate what the chances are of seeing each color next. This encourages players to play with more logic.

3. History Tracking

Your game history is kept track of, and the game suggestions are adjusted accordingly. It can help you to know what is going to work over time.

4. Avoiding Random Guesses

AI is based on data and not emotions. But this tends to result in better long-term outcomes.

Benefits of Using AI

• Smarter and faster decisions
• Reduced emotional betting
• A deeper understanding of game trends
• More control over your gaming strategy

Tips to Stay Ahead

• Always review past game results
• Don’t trust AI too much; use it as a hint
• Stick to a clear strategy
• Keep learning from each game

Using AI to predict colors in color prediction games can create smart moves from randomly guessed colors. It will not ensure you win, but it gives you a better chance at winning with logic and planning.

This is the season for NFL retirements.

Last week, two potential early retirements were announced, with Wide Receiver Julio Jones and Defensive Back Patrick Peterson hanging up their cleats.  Today, Offensive Tackle Tyron Smith signed a ceremonial deal with the Dallas Cowboys, the team that drafted him ninth overall in 2011, so he could retire in “Big D.” 

A Cowboy for the first 13 of his 14 seasons, Smith went to eight Pro Bowls, seven of which were consecutive (2013 to 2019).  He was also selected for two First Team All-Pros (2014 & 2016).  Smith, who started all 171 of his NFL games, was regarded as one of the football’s elite stoppers of pass-rushers and, had he not suffered a slew of injuries late in his career, could have been one of the best Tackles of all time.

Smith is eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2030, and in our pre-2024 Notinhalloffame Football monitor, he was ranked #22 overall.  Notably, he retires two months after his longtime lineman Zack Martin.

We here at notinhalloffame.com would wish Tyron Smith the best in his post-playing career.

It is with great pleasure that we are bringing back the Notinhalloffame MLB Regular Cup, and let us explain how this works:

For every regular-season game, we anointed the best five players with descending points, 5-4-3-2-1. 

We knew the following:

• The top players for the MLB NIHOF Cup are not always the best in the league, as injuries keep players out of games, and a premium on staying healthy can help pile up points. It also does not hurt to be a top player on an average or mediocre team, as they can amass Cup points easier than elite players on loaded squads.
• In Baseball, it is more common than in Basketball and Hockey for a player to accrue points with a single Home Run in a game, which favors position players. Starting Pitchers have a hard time with approximately 30-35 Starts and throwing fewer innings than in previous generations. This is also true for closers, which are not made for this process.
• Please remember, that this is NOT necessarily who we think were the best players this year, and does not reflect overall consistency. Treat this the way did, as a fun process and more of a compilation of temporary statistical domination.

Here is the current top ten after games concluded on April 13.
