Nolan Carroll has seen his snap count increase in each of the past 3 seasons, going from 330, to 653, to 809 snaps from 2011-2013. He’s been roughly an average player on Pro Football Focus the whole time and is now an average starter. Last season he graded out as Pro Football Focus’ 52nd ranked cornerback, right in the middle of the pack, allowing 47.8% completion, which was actually the 4^th lowest in the NFL among eligible cornerbacks.

He’s a good addition for a Philadelphia team that could use competition for Cary Williams at cornerback. He was Pro Football Focus’ 80^th ranked cornerback out of 110 eligible last season. His 4.75 million dollar salary for 2014 has already been guaranteed by virtue of him being on the roster on March 16^th, but Carroll comes as cheap competition (5.25 million over 2 years). This is a solid value.

Grade: A-
