21. TE Zach Miller (Oakland)- signed in Seattle 5 years 34 million 17 million guaranteed
In 4 seasons, Zach Miller has caught 226 balls for 2712 yards and 12 scores. Not bad considering how terrible Oakland’s quarterbacks have been in those 4 years. He’s one of the best young tight ends in the game.
22. OLB/RLB Kamerion Wimbley (Oakland) resigned 5 years 48 million 29 million guaranteed
I was doubtful about how effective he’d be in a 4-3 in his first year in Oakland, but as a hybrid defensive end and outside linebacker, Wimbley led the team with 9.5 sacks and was a good strong side linebacker against the run to boot.
23. NT Paul Solial (Miami)- Franchised
With Jason Ferguson out of the picture, Solial proved to be one of the best young nose tackles in the game. He was the rock in the middle of their defense and that’s why their run defense was one of the best in the league. He’ll get his money.
24. MLB Paul Posluszky (Buffalo)- signed with Jacksonville 6 years 42 million
Posluszky had 155 tackles last year, 2nd most in the league, and has 375 tackles in 3 years as a starter. He also has experience in a 3-4 and a 4-3.
25. DE Ray Edwards (Minnesota)- signed with Atlanta 5 years 30 million 11 million guaranteed
How will he do without Jared Allen and the Williams Wall? We may find out this offseason. The Vikings seem prepared to let Edwards, who has 16.5 sacks in the last 2 seasons and who dominated in their run to the NFC Championship game in 2009, walk this offseason. I have my doubts about him as a #1 pass rusher, but I have a feeling someone will overpay him.
26. DT Barry Cofield (NY Giants)- signed with Washington 6 years 36 million 12.5 million guaranteed
A dominating run stuffer, Cofield had a career sack 4 sacks this year as well. He’s only 27 this offseason and has a fine future ahead of him.
27. RB Ahmad Bradshaw (NY Giants)- Resigned 4 years 18 million 9 million guaranteed
Bradshaw had 1549 total yards and 8 total touchdowns this year, but there are major concerns about his ability to hold onto the football (7 fumbles this year) and about his ability to carry the load and stay healthy.
28. OT Jammal Brown (Washington)- Resigned 5 years 27.5 million 8 million guaranteed
Brown missed all of 2009 with an injury and struggled early in 2010 before settling down late in the season. He was one of the best left tackles in the league in 2008 before he got hurt.
29. DT/NT Brandon Mebane (Seattle)- Resigned 5 years 25 million 9 million guaranteed
One of the best run stuffers in the league as the Seahawks run defense was noticeably worse when he was out of the lineup. He also has 11 sacks in 4 seasons so he can do that a little as well.
30. S Eric Weddle (San Diego)- resigned 5 years 40 million 19 million guaranteed
A stat sheet stuffer with 358 tackles, 4 sacks, and 6 picks in 4 seasons with the Chargers.
