NFL free agents 2017: Notable restricted players
These players with three accrued NFL seasons are unlikely to move,
because their current teams can protect them with tenders of draft picks
that will make it more difficult for other teams to provide the
necessary compensation.


Here are 20 restricted players of note across all positions. They
are led by Bengals QB AJ McCarron, who almost was traded during the
season. He’s now making his case vs. his team to become an unrestricted
free agent, a status that will be decided Feb. 5 in arbitration.

AJ McCarron, QB, Bengals
Chris Boswell, K, Steelers
Mike Davis, RB, Seahawks
Thomas Rawls, RB, Seahawks
Quincy Enunwa, WR, Jets
Cameron Meredith, WR, Bears
Adam Humphries, WR, Buccaneers
Willie Snead, WR, Saints
Brandon Coleman, WR, Saints
Tyrell Williams, WR, Chargers
Eli Rogers, WR, Steelers
Cameron Brate, TE, Buccaneers
Matt Paradis, C, Broncos
David Irving, DT, Cowboyss
Dion Jordan, DE, Seahawks
Joe Thomas, LB, Packers
Shaquil Barrett, LB, Broncos
Brian Peters, LB, Texans
Delvin Breaux, CB, Saints
Ricardo Allen, S, Falcons

The article says McCarron's case would be settled Feb. 5 but it has not been yet; some reports say a ruling will be given this week, possibly today. If he is confirmed as a RFA, it might generate some movement in the QB market, if the Bengals want to trade him. Obtaining McCarron might take someone like Denver, Cleveland, Jets, or Arizona out of competition for Cousins.
