Jason Verrett

Somehow, Jason Verrett isn’t even 30-years-old yet despite it feeling like he’s been around forever. After spending his first four years with the Chargers, he’s played for the San Francisco 49ers over the past two seasons.

The downside to Verrett is his injury history. He has yet to play in all 16 games in any year of his six-year career and has only played in double-digit contests on two occasions. And with him creeping up toward 30, that could come back to bite him in a big way.

However, when he is healthy, he’s a great cornerback and someone who can be a difference-maker in the secondary. If he’s able to stay on the field throughout his next contract, he could be a huge steal for the Packers or whoever signs him.
