Continue reading →: Tampa Bay Buccaneers sign DT Henry Melton
Henry Melton was Pro Football Focus’ 14th ranked defensive tackle in 2011 and 6th ranked in 2012, both seasons with the Bears, but he was limited to 125 snaps in 3 games in 2013 by a torn ACL. As he was playing on the franchise tag in 2013, he hit free agency…

Continue reading →: Oakland Raiders sign MLB Curtis Lofton
Curtis Lofton finished 4th in the NFL in tackles with 145 last season. Given the size of this deal, 18 million over 3 years with 10 million guaranteed, I assume the Raiders didn’t actually watch Lofton play last season and just looked at the tackle stats. His 22 missed tackles…

Continue reading →: Oakland Raiders sign DT Dan Williams
After it became clear that the Raiders, loaded with cap space and dealing with a huge hole at defensive tackle, would not land Ndamukong Suh, speculation immediately tied Terrance Knighton to the Raiders. It made sense given that Knighton had broken out as one of the better defensive tackles in…

So far this off-season, the Jaguars have given 32 million over 5 years to a guy who has been in the league 6 years and maxed out at 388 snaps in a season (Jeremy Parnell), 20.5 million over 5 years to a guy who has been in the league 6…

Continue reading →: Jacksonville Jaguars sign OLB Dan Skuta
What?!?! This deal has to be easily the most surprising deal of the off-season, as I never expected Skuta to get anything close to 20.5 million over 5 years and it’s hard to imagine the Jaguars were bidding against any team willing to offer Skuta even half of this money.…

This deal is a much better value than the 6-year, 114 million dollar deal with 60 million guaranteed that the Miami Dolphins gave to Ndamukong Suh, even for a team like Jacksonville with plenty of money to spend and the need to spend to get guys to play for a…

Continue reading →: Jacksonville Jaguars sign TE Julius Thomas
Julius Thomas played 50 snaps in his first 2 seasons in the league, catching 1 pass, after the incredibly athletic former basketball player was drafted in the 4th round in 2011. He broke out in 2013, catching 65 passes for 788 yards and 12 touchdowns, but he was limited by injuries…

Continue reading →: Green Bay Packers re-sign OT Bryan Bulaga
Bulaga has been a starter for the Packers since they drafted him in the 1st round in 2010, making his debut as a starter in week 5 of 2010. However, despite that, he’s only made 48 starts in 5 seasons, as he’s missed 30 games with injuries over that time period,…

Continue reading →: Tennessee Titans sign OLB Brian Orakpo
For a while, it looked like the Titans weren’t going to do much in free agency, despite a ton of cap space and holes all over a roster that went 2-14 last season. Turns out, they were just being patient and waiting for price tags to drop to where they…

Continue reading →: Tennessee Titans re-sign OLB Derrick Morgan
A rare first round hit by the Titans, Derrick Morgan’s career got off to a slow start as he was limited to 112 snaps by a torn ACL as a rookie in 2010 and struggled in his return from that injury in 2011, grading out as Pro Football Focus’ 64th ranked…
