Continue reading →: Atlanta Falcons sign OLB Justin Durant
Justin Durant was drafted in the 2nd round in 2007 and has quietly had a very solid career, grading out above average in 7 of the 8 seasons he’s been in the NFL. However, he’s averaged just 585 snaps per season, often playing as purely a two-down run stopper, a role…

Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals sign DE Corey Peters
Peters tore his Achilles in 2013 at the worst possible time, in a meaningless week 16 game, just before he was set to hit free agency. Peters was forced to settle for a cheap one year deal back in Atlanta in an attempt to rehab his value and he did…

Cory Redding was Pro Football Focus’ 18th ranked 3-4 defensive end in 2014 and their 11th ranked 3-4 defensive end in 2013. The problem is he’s going into his age 35 season, so it’s hard to trust him going forward. He ranked 27th out of 34 eligible in 2012 and could…

Continue reading →: Buffalo Bills sign WR Percy Harvin
I usually like one-year deals. They are obviously relatively low risk and they keep guys motivated. Often times, they can serve as wakeup calls to players as well. I think all three of those things are true of Percy Harvin’s deal with the Bills, but 6 million dollars on a…

Bush became a solid starter from 2011-2013 with the Dolphins and Lions, averaging 222 carries for 1026 yards and 5 touchdowns and 44 catches for 365 yards and 2 touchdowns over that time period. Those days appear behind him now though, as he heads into his age 30 season, coming off…

Continue reading →: San Diego Chargers sign S Jimmy Wilson
It’s hard to love this move as it likely means Jimmy Wilson will likely be the starter in the secondary for the Chargers in 2015. He’ll play Marcus Gilchrist’s old role as a hybrid safety/cornerback, moving to the slot in sub packages with Jahleel Addae coming in at safety. It…

Continue reading →: San Francisco 49ers sign CB Shareece Wright
The 49ers needed starting cornerback help after losing both Chris Culliver and Perrish Cox this off-season. The problem is that Wright has proven over the past 2 seasons that he’s not a starting caliber cornerback. Wright was a 3rd round pick in 2011 and barely played in his first 2…

Continue reading →: New York Jets sign S Marcus Gilchrist
The Jets’ plan this off-season was clearly to spend to fix their secondary. They added three new cornerbacks on big contracts, Darrelle Revis, Antonio Cromartie, and Buster Skrine, and also added Marcus Gilchrist on a big contract as a replacement for veteran free agent Dawan Landry as the starter next…

Continue reading →: New York Jets sign G James Carpenter
The Jets were in on all the big-time guards available in free agency this off-season, Mike Iupati, Orlando Franklin, and Clint Boling and for good reason. Right guard Willie Colon struggled last season, grading out as Pro Football Focus’ 66th ranked guard out of 78 eligible, and is now going into…

Continue reading →: Kansas City Chiefs sign S Tyvon Branch
Tyvon Branch will make 2.1 million this season with another 2 million available through incentives. This is a very smart, buy low, one-year prove it deal by the Chiefs. Branch has missed all but 4 games over the past 2 season with injuries, but he was once a solid safety,…
