2014 NFL free agent rankings: Top remaining free agents at each position

Free agency is typically a fast start and a slow finish. With most of the big names off the market, the "second phase" of talent gets to lock up their deals. Most of the positions have seen large reductions in available talent, so agents are hoping that teams get a bit more desperate when it comes to adding to their rosters. However, there are still plenty of potential starters that could have to settle for one-year deals if they want to eventually cash in on their talent.

Here's a look at the latest free agency rankings for each position:

Quarterback

1. Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles

2. Josh Freeman, Minnesota Vikings

3. Matt Flynn, Green Bay Packers

4. Shaun Hill, Detroit Lions

5. Colt McCoy, San Francisco 49ers

Michael Vick continues to be the crown jewel of the quarterback market in free agency. He has yet to make a decision but the same can be said for Josh Freeman. The rest of the class features journeymen, veteran backups.

Running Back

1. Knowshon Moreno, Denver Broncos

2. Maurice Jones-Drew, Jacksonville Jaguars

3. LeGarrette Blount, New England Patriots

4. Andre Brown, New York Giants

5. LaRod Stephens-Howling, Pittsburgh Steelers

The running back class still has plenty of talent left on the market. Knowshon Moreno is the best option after his breakthrough season in Denver. Maurice Jones-Drew and LeGarrette Blount are also quality rotational backs that would thrive in a ground-and-pound offense.

Wide Receiver

1. Sidney Rice, Seattle Seahawks

2. Kenny Britt, Tennessee Titans

3. Jerricho Cotchery, Pittsburgh Steelers

4. Lance Moore, New Orleans Saints

5. Miles Austin, Dallas Cowboys

The remaining wide receivers in free agency all have question marks. Miles Austin, Sidney Rice and Kenny Britt all have injury concerns, while Jerricho Cotchery and Lance Moore are getting up their in age. Most, if not all, will settle for short-term deals.

Tight End

1. Jimmy Graham, New Orleans -- Franchise tag

2. Jermichael Finley, Green Bay Packers

3. Owen Daniels, Houston Texans

4. Dustin Keller, Miami Dolphins

5. Ed Dickson, Baltimore Ravens

Tight end may be the deepest available market in free agency. Jermichael Finley and Owen Daniels are very capable starters, who can still make a team better. It will be interesting to see how the franchise tag battle will end between Jimmy Graham and the Saints.

Offensive Line

1. Alex Mack, Cleveland Browns -- Transition tag

2. Travelle Wharton, Carolina Panthers

3. Brian De La Puente, New Orleans Saints

4. Charles Brown, New Orleans Saints

5. Davin Joseph, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The offensive line market has cooled a bit as most of the remaining talent features aging veterans and borderline starters. Brian De La Puente is easily the top center remaining on the market.

Defensive Tackle

1. Kevin Williams, Minnesota Vikings

2. Alex Carrington, Buffalo Bills

3. Pat Sims, Oakland Raiders

4. Ryan Pickett, Green Bay Packers

5. Terrence Cody, Baltimore Ravens

There are several teams that need a nose tackle or a three-technique. The good news is there are quality players still available. While they may all not be starters on this list, they can at least be used in a rotation with a draft pick.

Defensive End

1. Jared Allen, Minnesota Vikings

2. Corey Wootton, Chicago Bears
