Continue reading →: Houston Texans sign DT Vince Wilfork
The Patriots release Vince Wilfork earlier this off-season, but it wasn’t for lack of talent. Wilfork graded out as Pro Football Focus’ 13th ranked 3-4 defensive end last season, including 6th against the run, which is his specialty. He was released because he simply wasn’t worth his 8.5 million dollar…

Continue reading →: Cleveland Browns sign CB Tramon Williams
Given that we’re already going into the 2nd week of free agency, I did not expect Tramon Williams to get 7 million dollars annually. That doesn’t necessarily mean this is a bad deal. Williams is going into his age 32 season, but he should still be a solid starter next…

Continue reading →: Tampa Bay Buccaneers sign MLB Bruce Carter
Given the size of this deal, 17 million over 4 years with 4.2 million guaranteed, suggests that the Buccaneers view Carter as a starter and an every down player. I think that’s a mistake based on his career play. The Cowboys drafted Bruce Carter in the 2nd round in 2011 despite…

Continue reading →: Oakland Raiders sign RB Roy Helu
Roy Helu only has 255 carries in 4 seasons since the Redskins drafted him in the 4th round in 2011, but he’s averaged 4.44 yards per carry and where he really provides value is as a 3rd down back. In 48 career games, Helu has 129 catches for 1152 yards and 3…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins sign TE Jordan Cameron
Jordan Cameron had a breakout year in 2013, catching 80 passes for 917 yards and 7 touchdowns, after playing just 398 snaps and catching 26 passes in his first 2 seasons in the league. Cameron didn’t match that production in 2014 though, as he missed 6 games and caught just…

Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals sign MLB Sean Weatherspoon
The Cardinals will be hoping that Weatherspoon can provide insurance inside for Daryl Washington, who is still suspended by the NFL for drug use and domestic abuse. It’s been a steep drop off for Weatherspoon since he was Pro Football Focus’ 5th ranked 4-3 outside linebacker in his 2nd year in the…

Continue reading →: Atlanta Falcons sign DE Adrian Clayborn
Adrian Clayborn was a first round pick of the Buccaneers in 2011 and he had a decent rookie year, struggling mightily against the run, but getting good pass rush and overall grading out slightly below average on Pro Football Focus. The story of his career from there was injuries though,…

Continue reading →: Philadelphia Eagles sign CB Walter Thurmond
Walter Thurmond got a 1-year, 3.5 million dollar deal from the Giants last off-season, but only played 2 games because of injury. Despite that, the Eagles have given him the same contract this off-season. Thurmond isn’t a bad player (I loved the move by the Giants last off-season when they…

Continue reading →: Denver Broncos sign G Shelley Smith
This isn’t the Shelley Smith who is (used to be?) an unattractive female reporter for ESPN. This is the Shelley Smith that could easily be the Broncos’ starting left guard in 2015. The Broncos aren’t paying Smith much (5.65 million over 2 years), but it’s still too much for him…

Continue reading →: Atlanta Falcons sign OLB Brooks Reed
Brooks Reed will boost the Falcons’ run defense, but he’s not the edge rusher they need and the edge rusher they’re paying him like, giving him 22.5 million over 5 years with 9 million guaranteed. Reed, a 2011 2nd round pick, has graded out above average in 3 of the 4…
