Free agent RT Eric Winston wants to sign with a team before the draft. As would all veteran players left on the market. Winston prefers to remain with the Cardinals but admits talks haven't been "super positive." Some believe Winston's new title as NFLPA president may be working against him.

Free agent RT Eric Winston said a few teams have expressed interest in him. Winston, 30, says he's being selective. Working against him is that he's a right tackle only and doesn't offer much versatility. The new NFLPA president started all 16 games on the right side for Arizona last season, surrendering seven sacks. At 6-foot-7 and 302 pounds, Winston is a natural in zone-blocking systems.

New NFLPA president Eric Winston guaranteed that an 18-game season will not happen under his watch. "It's a safety issue," Winston said. The free agent tackle did allow that he and the player union are open to the idea of adding one playoff team to each conference, thus creating six total games on Wild Card Weekend. That change appears likely to be implemented for the 2015 season.

Free agent RT Eric Winston has been elected the new president of the NFL Player union. Winston succeeds Domonique Foxworth, who did not seek reelection. Winston beat out free agent FS Ryan Clark and Saints TE Ben Watson for the position. The 30-year-old has been an active union member since 2010 and was a leading voice for the players during the 2011 lockout. Winston is currently our No. 5 free-agent tackle available. He started all 16 games for Arizona last season.

Cardinals RT Eric Winston is officially running with the first-team offense.

Cardinals agreed to terms with RT Eric Winston on a one-year contract. The top offensive tackle left on the street is finally off the board. Although the 29-year-old Winston has been released in each of the last two offseasons, he brings 103 NFL starts to the table and was a top-nine right tackle in Pro Football Focus' grades last year. He'll start at right tackle, allowing Bobby Massie to move inside to right guard. Nate Potter will enter a camp duel with consistently disappointing Levi Brown for the starting left tackle job. The Cardinals' offensive line is still a bottom-five unit, but they got better by adding Winston.

Profootballtalk.com reports the Cardinals are "closing in" on a one-year deal with free agent RT Eric Winston. Mike Florio adds that the deal could be completed within "the next 24 hours." The Cardinals' tackles were shoddy at best last season, and there have been recent reports that LT Levi Brown's play in the spring left a lot to be desired. Incumbent right tackle Bobby Massie has taken some reps on the left side this summer, and a Winston signing may be a way of putting Brown on notice.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution suggests free agent RT Eric Winston as a fit for the Falcons. Winston is battling a sharply deflated right tackle market, so perhaps he'll be willing to lower his contract demands soon. He's 30 years old and has been released in each of the last two offseasons. If the Falcons can get Matt Ryan a new contract and free up a little space, adding Winston would make some sense. Unproven incumbents Mike Johnson and Lamar Holmes are set to battle for the starting right tackle job in camp.

The Redskins "haven't shown any interest" in free agent RT Eric Winston. Winston has been linked to the Redskins in each of the last two offseasons because of his ties to Kyle Shanahan, but is still holding out for guaranteed money and hasn't generated any interest since before the draft. If he lowers his asking price, Winston could be an option for the Redskins as an upgrade over Tyler Polumbus.

The Redskins haven't made an effort to sign free agent RT Eric Winston this offseason. Winston has been linked to the 'Skins in each of the last two offseasons because he played for Kyle Shanahan in Houston. Now Shanahan is running the same blocking scheme in Washington. The Washington Post says that Winston's price tag seems to have a lot to do with their lack of interest right now.
