In terms of value, I think Joseph was the best cornerback on the market. At 48.75 million dollars over 5 years and 23.5 million guaranteed, Joseph was a much better value than Asomugha at projected 80-85 million over the same amount of time. Joseph is one of the top cornerbacks in the league, but because he’s been stuck in Cincinnati next to Leon Hall, he’s very underrated. He’s also 3 years younger.

I think Houston is the most improved team this offseason and a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Offense wasn’t the problem for them last year with Arian Foster, Matt Schaub, Andre Johnson, and a great offensive line. Defense was. They’ve improved so much defensively this offseason. They added a legitimate starter through the draft in JJ Watt. They also got Brooks Reed, who will split time with Connor Barwin at rush linebacker, and Brandon Harris, who will be a valuable nickelback for them, through the draft.

They are also getting DeMeco Ryans make from injury. After a terrible rookie year, 2010 1^st round pick Kareem Jackson will be better in his 2^nd year. Glover Quin can’t possibly be a worse free safety than he was as a cornerback last year. They also added a great defensive coordinator in Wade Phillips. Now they add a legitimate #1 cornerback in free agency. Peyton Manning is hurting in Indy. Why can’t this team win the division and contend for a Super Bowl.
