Scout.com's Senior NFL Reporter Adam Caplan provides you with the latest update of the best available NFL free agents from the offensive side of the ball.
Quarterback
Aaron Brooks - He finally had a tryout recently with the Green Bay Packers. You would think with all of the bad quarterback play this season (see Carolina Panthers) that he would draw more interest.
Todd Bouman - Was waived by the St. Louis Rams recently and could handle the No. 2 role for certain systems.
Jay Fiedler - He hasn't thrown a pass in a game since 2005 but if healthy he would certainly be worth a shot.
Doug Johnson - Serviceable as a No. 2. Had a tryout for the Jacksonville Jaguars recently.
Rob Johnson - Was with the New York Giants in the 2006 off-season but he hasn't thrown a pass in an NFL game since 2003.
Mike McMahon - More of an athlete than a quarterback at this point. Had a tryout for the Miami Dolphins recently.
Shane Matthews - He last got in a game during the 2004 season and could be a serviceable No. 3 man at this juncture.
Rohan Davey - Strong-armed passer but lacks touch. Had a tryout for the Green Bay Packers.
Drew Henson - Played just one season in the NFL with 18 passes attempted. Had a tryout with the Jacksonville Jaguars recently.
Koy Detmer - Has starting experience and can hold for kicks. Best used in No. 3 role. Was signed by the Minnesota Vikings recently but was waived after a few days. Also can hold on kicks.
Running Back
Corey Dillon - Just started working out recently and is leaning toward playing again this season but time is running out.
Kevan Barlow - He had tryouts for the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers recently. Could fill No. 2 role for a team.
Domanick Williams - The versatile back's future is clouded because of knee problems and surprisingly he hasn't had a single workout for any team this season.
Wali Lundy - Was the starting back to open the 2006 for the Houston Texans yet is out of a job. Had tryouts for the Denver Broncos, Seattle Seahawks, St. Louis Rams, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season.
Verron Haynes - Has value as a third back for a team and can also play fullback if needed. Had tryouts with the Houston Texans, New Orleans Saints, Pittsburgh Steelers, Seattle Seahawks, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season.
Eric Shelton - The former underachieving second-round pick of the Carolina Panthers offers size at the position and had tryouts for the Atlanta Falcons, Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Texans, New York Giants, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season.
Artose Pinner - Was waived by the Atlanta Falcons recently. Powerfully built back who has decent speed.
Ciatrick Fason - The straight line runner and former fifth round pick of the Minnesota Vikings offers some size and had tryouts with the Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Tony Fisher - The veteran back offers some size and versatility and had tryouts for the Houston Texans and Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season.
Fullback
Cory Schlesinger - He was a surprising final cut of the Miami Dolphins in September when the rosters were set. He can still be a lead blocker for a team for the short-term.

Kyle Johnson - Was with the Denver Broncos earlier this season and had a tryout with the Buffalo Bills.
Troy Fleming - He had extensive starting experience earlier in his career with the Tennessee Titans.

Rod Gardner - The journeyman receiver offers some size at the position but has been with four teams since 2004. Had a tryout with the Oakland Raiders this season.
Todd Pinkston - Was once a promising receiver who could get down field well before he suffered a torn Achilles back in training camp of the 2005 season with the Philadelphia Eagles.
