If you were a free agent, what would your top 3 team choices be?

If you were a free agent you would not want to play for Pats??????????????

It is true players don't care a bout winning only money!!!

Real NFL players (I don't) see them having MN as a top 3 team they want to go to.
Sure MN fans that wish they were players would pick MN.

Man, that's a good and complex question. As I sit here with ridiculous amounts of time as a half dozen 12 year old girls invade my house for my daughter's birthday (all of whom have better phones than I do) I will ponder...

..and say Minnesota because i'm a fan and I actually like the area--well run org, great music scene, Sugar Maples in the fall. #2 Patriots. Love the Boston area for a number of reasons, and you can't argue with their success. Denver should be up there because I love this city, but man I hate the Donkeys. So #3, I will say New Orleans. Successful org and a city with a great soul and spirit.

I am looking at as a fan and teams I do not like.  Only reason I said highest bidder is because to prove how much i dislike those teams.  To be honest if I was that good I would want to go to a team on the brink of making it if not the Vikings.   I would feel better if I turned out to be one of the missing pieces to bring home a championship to team that has not gotten one.  As long as it is not one of the ones I mentioned earlier.

Well, I've been a fan  since 1968 so Minnesota is an easy choice...plus Minneapolis is a pretty cool city...

Carolina because I like the area...

Seattle because it's the closest to the Canadian Rockies...

I would throw Tampa in the mix, just cause of the synergy Arians brings, weather and no income tax.

MN: Too cold for too long, taxes are too high, not as friendly/easy a place to live for people of color vs the south

Positives: Great schools, health care, can leave when the season is over, easy to avoid mn tax, 4 seasons, midwest culture

I think it all depends where I am in my career.  Is winning still the main goal?  Most money? Or place to raise my family?

If I had to choose, I would go with Minnesota, Carolina and Houston.

Being totally honest here....looking to maximize the financial impact of free agency, I'd avoid any state/city with high taxes.  No CA, NY teams...

Houston, Dallas or Tampa....in that order.

The key word in the question to me is "YOU". As in I.
I would want to play for my favorite team. I can't speak for those who might actually be getting a phone call.

Edit: Then maybe Atlanta or Tampa.
