1. Cornerback Xavier Rhodes

Xavier Rhodes has had a long and successful career. Over his nine professional seasons, he has been fairly consistent and reliable. While this past season saw him play a career-low in snaps, that can be attributed to a few missed games. He finished the 2021 season with 13 games played. When he was on the field, he held his own.

Rhodes finished the season with 39 tackles, seven pass breakups and one interception. He was targeted 65 times, allowing 41 receptions and a total of 524 receiving yards. He went the whole season without allowing either 100+ receiving yards or more than five receptions in any game.

Rhodes looks as if he still has some solid football left in the tank. Even at nearly 32 years old, he is still playing at a good level. Expecting him to be a starter may be unrealistic, but he could prove quality depth.

Rhodes has managed to stay relatively healthy throughout his career. He has never missed more than four games in a season and has always been a solid starter. If he can still produce at a decent level, he could be a great addition.
