With free agency set to begin in just a few weeks, we'll all line up to declare winners and losers before the ink is dry on all the new deals. But time and time again, the teams who actually 'win' free agency are the ones looking for fairly-priced, complementary pieces on the open market and not players who will fill a gaping void on offense or defense. Think the Patriots, not the Bills. Think the Broncos and Panthers, not the Dolphins.

So who are these complementary pieces, you ask? Here is a primer on some of the defensive players at each position who will come at a good bargain with a high upside, assuming they are not tagged or re-signed before the market opens. Bargain is a relative term in this context, as some players will inevitably command a higher price tag than others.

On Tuesday, we tackled offense. Now, it's time for the defense.

our significant FA signings the past 2-3 years:

Coleman - a journeyman that no one even had as a lock to make the squad = probowl snub
Orr - everyone was clowning us for putting trust in him during the offseason = redeemed him Blindside name
Ginn - great PR/KR but no one thought he would be a starting WR = shut everyone up, even Rodney Harrison
Harper - everyone thought he could have retired 2 years ago and no one would blame him = locker room leader
Cotchery - ALL didnt even realize he was still in the league until this year = given the best nickname on the team - Clutchery
Finnegan - on the couch one week = saving our defense the next few weeks
Remmers - could've throw in the towel on his career after 3 season with San Diego = turned into a solid starter
Tillman - probably our biggest most lucrative FA signing = 1 yr @ $3 mill deal :)

Mike Mitchell - turned him from a decent player to a top 3 FS in 1 year
