11. G Logan Mankins (New England)- resigned 6 years, 51 million, 30 million guaranteed
Mankins was thrown right into the action midseason after finally signing his tender and he still looked like one of the best interior linemen in the game. He’ll get paid somewhere eventually.
12. MLB David Harris (NY Jets)- resigned 4 years 36 million 29.5 million guaranteed
Harris is one of the better inside linebackers in the game. In 4 years with the Jets he has 428 tackles and 14.5 sacks.
13. CB Jonathan Joseph (Cincinnati)- signed with Houston 5 years 48.75 million 23.5 million guaranteed
Joseph is one of the most underrated shutdown corners in the league when healthy and could be a #1 guy in a lot of places, but he had trouble staying healthy last year. He also indicated he wanted a longterm extension in Cincinnati.
14. C Ryan Kalil (Carolina)- resigned 6 years 49 million 28 million guaranteed
This is the best center in the game. Hands down.
15. DE Charles Johnson (Carolina)- resigned 6 years 72 million 30 million guaranteed
Johnson, a 2007 3rd round pick, finally lived up to his potential in 2010 after Julius Peppers left, with 11.5 sacks. Just in time to leave Carolina. That sound you just heard was a bunch of Panthers fans jumping off a bridge.
16. OLB Chad Greenway (Minnesota)- Franchised
Greenway was all over the place last year with 144 tackles, good for 4th most in the league. He has 463 tackles and 6.5 sacks in 4 seasons.
17. OT/G Willie Colon (Pittsburgh)- resigned with Pittsburgh 5 years 29 million
He was hurt all season in 2010, but this is the best pure run blocking right tackle in the league when healthy.
18. 3-4 DE/DT Shaun Ellis (NY Jets)- signed with New England 1 year 4 million
Ellis turned in another fine season in 2010 and dominated New England’s line in their AFC Divisional win, but he’s 34 in June and the Jets have other free agent needs.
19. WR Vincent Jackson (San Diego)- Franchised
He has character and attitude issues, but he had 1000+ yard seasons in 2008 and 2009 and was dominant in short bursts this season, in between injuries and contract disputes.
20. MLB Stephen Tulloch (Tennessee)- Signed with Detroit 1 year 3.35 million 1.8 million guaranteed
Tulloch broke out in 2009 and has 280 tackles in the last 2 tackles. He was 2nd in the league with 159 this year. He struggles in coverage occasionally, but I’m nitpicking.
