March has long been one of the most anticipated months on the NFL calendar, with player transactions a daily topic of discussion and debate. But with the players decertifying and the owners enacting a lockout, everything has been put on hold for now. We have no idea when free agency will start, what the new rules of labor engagement will be, and what exactly will comprise a new deal (Franchise players? Rookie cap?). Uncertainty reigns.

But in boardrooms and meeting rooms around the NFL, execs, coaches and scouts are still trying to prepare for possible scenarios. Many of them I've been in contact with are assuming that whenever we do have a new CBA, free agency will most likely go back to more of the norm we've seen (three or four or possibly five accrued seasons, depending on draft position), and not the six-year threshold used for the 2010 season under the uncapped rules that were in place.

NFL officials, in making the case for the need for a new agreement prior to the expiration on Frday of last deal, had pointed to the nearly 500 players who were banking on becoming free agents this March, and all of the millions in compensation for them that will be put on hold until we do have a new CBA.

Here's a look, by position, at what the free-agency class of 2011 would look like (assuming three or four years required for free agency), even if it could be quite some time before they hit the market.

Quarterbacks

This is not a position of strength in free agency. Players like Kevin Kolb and Kyle Orton becoming available via trade could spice it up some. And Vince Young and Donovan McNabb, who have yet to be released but are fully expected to eventually be so, are not included, since they remain under contract at this point. Even with their additions it's not a star-studded group. JaMarcus Russell, who I expect to be on someone's roster in 2011, is not listed either, as he was not in the NFL in 2010. Like the rest of much of this list, he'd be seen as a backup at best for the start of next season. Tyler Thigpen could end up getting some play with the Eagles should Philly trade Kolb.

As for big names, we already know Michael Vick and Peyton Manning aren't going anywhere with their exclusive franchise tags (players listed below with 2010 teams).

Running backs/fullbacks

There is some quality to be had here, although most teams have learned that free agency and running backs -- with such short primes of their careers -- isn't often a good match. The Panthers are unlikely to franchise DeAngelo Williams, according to a league source, but could work to re-sign him on the open market. Injuries have been a problem for Pierre Thomas (the Saints won't be franchising him). The Giants do not intend to franchise Ahmad Bradshaw, either, according to a league source, but again, are expected to re-sign him at some point (and he, too, is coming off offseason surgery, and durability over the long haul could be a question). Leon Washington began working his way back from the horrific injury he suffered in 2009, and without those concerns would be sitting on a big deal by now, given his special teams prowess. He won't be franchised either, sources said.

Joseph Addai, when healthy, has been effective and is the best all-around back on the Colts roster. The Bengals would like to keep Cedric Benson, but unless they franchise him, that might not end up happening.

I don't expect a ton of action at fullback, though John Kuhn and ers Le'Ron McClain and Vonta Leach could make sense for someone to pursue.

Tight ends

The two most intriguing prospects here, Marcedes Lewis and Zach Miller, might not be going anywhere. The Jags are working hard to sign Lewis and, short of that, will franchise him, according to a league source. The Raiders are unlikely to use the franchise tag on anyone, according to a source. Miller would get lots of action on the open market. If Owen Daniels was not coming off a major injury he might as well. Kevin Boss has emerged as a fine cog in the Giants' offense.

I would look for David Thomas to get plenty of looks as well. He has flashed good ability with the Saints, but with rookie Jimmy Graham poised to continue taking a prominent role there, Thomas could end up finding better value on the open market.

禄 Kevin Boss, Giants
禄 Daniel Coats, Bengals
禄 Owen Daniels, Texans

Wide receivers

Two former Bengals, Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco, will get plenty of attention. You won't find Chad Johnson listed here, as he remains under contract, but I fully expect him to be released at some point, with the Bengals disinclined to pay him $6 million to return. A pair of Jets will add flash to this list -- Braylon Edwards and Santonio Holmes; league sources expect Holmes to be New York's priority to re-sign.

Oh, and Randy Moss. Remember him? He could be in for the kind of offseason wait that T.O. dealt with last year before he finds a new home. Between Chad and T.O., I have a feeling at least one of them ends up in Oakland. Steve Smith (Giants) and Brad Smith (Jets) would be in demand for various reasons. Mike Sims-Walker (Jags) might be able to be pried away from a small-market team, some execs would believe. And if the Vikings don't franchise Sidney Rice he could be the jewel of the entire position group. Overall, receiver is one of the deepest groups in 2011.

Oh yeah, and Plaxico Burress isn't listed here as well, but he will be a subject of significant interest in June when he is no longer incarcerated. No position will generate more headlines in free agency than this group.

Offensive tackles

Not a bevy of top options here. Jermon Bushrod made Jammal Brown expendable in New Orleans. The Falcons do a nice job of wrapping up their own and though they won't be franchising Tyson Clabo, he might not be going anywhere once we get a new CBA.

Jared Gaither is someone the Ravens would like to get signed; despite his inconsistencies and lack of full-determination at times, and the fact that he missed all of 2010 with a back injury the team thought might have been dubious. There is no question that the offensive line, with him at left tackle in 2009 and Michael Oher on the right side, was far superior than Baltimore's group from 2010. Even though he missed all of last season, he would create considerable interest, I imagine. Similarly, Willie Colon missed all of 2010 for the Steelers, but could be looking at a major deal on the open market. Doug Free did well stepping in for Flozell Adams in Dallas last season.

Guards

Marshal Yanda proved himself as a fearsome interior blocker, then excelled at right tackle for the Ravens in 2010 with Gaither out. Baltimore had best find a way to keep him. And the Ravens have serious concerns about aging center Matt Birk's productivity as well, which could lead them to more seriously consider keeping center/guard swingman Chris Chester on the roster. Richie Incognito is coming off his best season, and he managed to stay out of trouble and control his temper with the Dolphins. A pair of Eagles could be in line for nice paydays, too, and Robert Gallery was reportedly upset the Raiders let go of offensive line guru Tom Cable as head coach. Logan Mankins would have been prized, but getting franchised ends that.

Centers

The Panthers are seriously considering using the franchise tag, and if they do, young center Ryan Kalil would be a safe bet to be the one getting tagged. He would be the cream of this crop. It's hard to imagine Olin Kreutz leaving Chicago at this point in his career.

禄 David Baas, 49ers

禄 Lyle Sendlein, Cardinals
禄 Chris Spencer, Seahawks
禄 Casey Wiegmann, Chiefs

Defensive ends

This is a position that tends to do well in free agency. Pass rushers are always in need and earn top dollar. A talented, young end gets to market, and, much like with a left tackle, that's a rarity that will result in big bucks. Ray Edwards is highly unlikely to re-sign with the Vikings. He's made major strides the past few years and would do quite well in free agency. The Packers are unlikely to franchise Cullen Jenkins at over $12 million -- teams will covet him as a hybrid DT/DE.

Charles Johnson quietly did some very nice things helping to fill some of the void left by Julius Peppers departing Carolina. Mathias Kiwanuka has a unique skill set and could be a versatile piece for several teams if he leaves the Giants.

Defensive tackles

Haloti Ngata would have been the most coveted player here, but he has been franchised and the Ravens will make him among the highest paid defenders in the NFL once we get a new CBA. Paul Soliai had a quiet breakout season for the Dolphins, and talks aimed at an extension did not result in a deal. Barry Cofield was nearly dealt to the Saints at the draft last year, and New Orleans could be in market for reinforcements along the line. Meanwhile, New Orleans free agent Anthony Hargrove, an amazing story in the run to the , will be looked at by some teams as more of an end.

The 49ers franchised Aubrayo Franklin, an elite 3-4 defensive tackle, a year ago, but team sources said it is very unlikely they would do so again this year. He will command heavy market interest. Brandon Mebane is going to be tough for the Seahawks to retain, and he too will be coveted. Richard Seymour would have added even more power to a quality free agent group of tackles, but to stay in Oakland. But Shaun Rogers has already been released by the Browns and is getting free agent sniffs, and options abound.

Inside/middle linebackers

With the Packers extending Desmond Bishop and the Jets franchising David Harris, this group lost some luster. Barrett Ruud had on-and-off contract talks with the Bucs for the past few years but was never able to strike a deal in that Bart Scott/$9-million a year range. He'll take his chances on the open market if he gets there. Injuries robbed Stewart Bradley and Omar Gaither of the Eagles of full seasons in recent years. The 49ers could like to retain veteran leader Takeo Spikes.

Outside linebackers

LaMarr Woodley and Tamba Hali will both eventually be making DeMarcus Ware-type money. For now, though, they will have to settle with the franchise tag that is coming for both. They would be extremely sought after on the open market. Chad Greenway, who has the ability to be a factor in a 3-4 or 4-3, however, could well hit the market and the Vikings would hate to lose him. Will Herring could end up departing the Seahawks. Clint Session is a great fit in a Tampa-2 scheme, and the Colts would love to keep him, but there might not be too much cash left over given the Manning situation.

Cornerbacks

Nnamdi Asomugha will be as heavily pursued as any free agent, I figure. Many big-spending teams need a corner (Dallas, Washington, Houston) and he is clearly the best available. Champ Bailey is aging (but could give someone a year or two for sure). I can't fathom Ronde Barber leaving the Bucs and his good friend, their coach Raheem Morris. Johnathan Joseph has been part of one of the elite corner tandems in the NFL with the Bengals, but they could be hard-pressed to keep him. In fact, given the interest he is likely to draw, I don't see the Bengals being able to compete financially to keep him. The Jets would like to retain Antonio Cromartie, but finding the right price could be tricky. Stanford Routt of the Raiders and Chris Carr of the Ravens can be very effective in the slot. With so many teams deadset on spreading defenses these days, you cannot have too many slot corners.

Safeties

Roman Harper made the for the Saints, though more people will remember the horrific game he had at Seattle in the playoffs. Darren Sharper's age and health will limit the interest in him, as the Saints secondary is now led by Malcolm Jenkins. If Tanard Jackson can put his off-field issues behind him, he could end up making some general manager very happy, whether staying in Tampa or departing. Eric Weddle has developed very well for the Chargers and is in line for a hefty, hefty raise.

Bob Sanders appears to be at the end, and has for quite some time, so the Colts would love to re-sign Melvin Bullitt rather than see him end up walking in free agency. But Bullitt himself is coming off a season in which he spent most of the year on IR.

Dawan Landry is a quality starter at a position where the Ravens have let players walk before.

Special teams

There are a few standout kickers and punters who could become available. Mason Crosby won a with Green Bay. Jeff Reed has had some big highs with the Steelers over the years.
