Offseason player movements of note

As we settle in for what could be a very long, dry spell without significant fantasy football content, I thought the best service I could offer here is to keep a running tab of the offseason movement of key players.

The following list will be updated on an as-needed basis. If you notice that I've missed anything significant, please post a comment below and I will fix it.

As of March 11, the following players have been waived, traded or left their team via free agency:

RBs
Clinton Portis -- Cut by Redskins 2/28
Tiki Barber -- Un-retired 3/8. The Giants still hold his rights, but say they'll release him once the new CBA is settled. Who'll take a shot on him at 36 remains to be seen.

WRs
Mike Sims-Walker -- Cut by Jaguars 3/4.

TEs
Daniel Graham -- Cut by Broncos 3/2.
Donald Lee -- Cut by Packers 3/2.
Jeremy Shockey -- Released by Saints 2/2. Signed by Panthers 3/3.

Unrestricted Free Agents
Thanks to my colleague, Brad Pinkerton of the Sporting News, here's a list of likely unrestricted free agents we will be watching once the new CBA is in place:

QB Matt Hasselbeck

RBs DeAngelo Williams, Ahmad Bradshaw, Michael Bush, Cedric Benson, Joseph Addai, Ronnie Brown, Darren Sproles and Cadillac Williams

WRs Sidney Rice, Santonio Holmes, Braylon Edwards, Malcom Floyd, Steve Smith (NYG), Plaxico Burress, Mark Clayton, Jacoby Jones, James Jones, Randy Moss, Santana Moss and Terrell Owens

TEs Kevin Boss, Zach Miller (OAK)
