Today was the last day for teams to place franchise and transition tags on players, otherwise leaving them unrestricted free agents. A few big-ish names even got released.

Of course, the big news is that Edgerrin James is to be a free man, while Steve Hutchinson, DeShaun Foster, Jeff Backus, John Abraham, Nate Clements, and Brian Williams all got tagged. Hitting the free market:

Shaun Alexander
Edgerrin James
Terrell Owens
Adam Vinatieri
Julian Peterson
Jamal Lewis
Ty Law
Charles Woodson
Drew Brees

That's definitely the most exciting FA crop I can think of in years. Two notable releases today were CB Ahmed Plummer, and 2002 4th-overall pick, OL Mike Williams.
