The most recent draft class was skimpy and only a handful of undrafted players agreed to free-agent contracts. A glut of former Tigers are currently free agents hoping to land with a team for training camp, including former first-round pick Jeremy Maclin, who spent last season in Baltimore.
Other unsigned free agents include linebacker Andrew Gachkar, offensive lineman Tim Barnes, defensive end Jacquies Smith, linebackers Sean Weatherspoon and Zaviar Gooden, defensive tackle Josh Augusta and cornerback Aarion Penton.
