Continue reading →: Cleveland Browns extend DE John Hughes
Hughes was a 3rd round pick by the Browns in 2012. Hughes struggled as a rookie in a 4-3, grading out as Pro Football Focus’ 69th ranked defensive tackle out of 85 eligible on 530 snaps, but he’s done better over the past two seasons as a 3-4 defensive end.…

Continue reading →: Kansas City Chiefs extend G Ben Grubbs
The Chiefs traded a 5th round pick to the Saints for Ben Grubbs last week. I said it was a decent move for the guard needy Chiefs because, while Grubbs did grade below average last season and while he is going into his age 31 season, he graded out as…

Continue reading →: New Orleans Saints trade G Ben Grubbs to the Kansas City Chiefs
Trade for Saints: The Saints came into the off-season in rough shape cap wise. Getting rid of Grubbs hurts, but it’s an understandable move. Grubbs was a top-16 guard on Pro Football Focus for 5 straight seasons from 2009-2013, but graded out slightly below average last season and now he’s…

Continue reading →: New Orleans Saints sign RB CJ Spiller
This contract isn’t inappropriate for a player of Spiller’s skill set, as Spiller will make 18 million over 4 years with 9 million guaranteed. That’s the 2nd most a running back has gotten on the open market after DeMarco Murray this off-season, but you can make an argument that Spiller…

The Colts had a huge hole at running back. Trent Richardson didn’t pan out at all after the Colts traded a 1st round pick for him and was released this week. Ahmad Bradshaw is a free agent who has missed 25 games in the past 4 seasons combined and who…

Continue reading →: Baltimore Ravens re-sign RB Justin Forsett
Justin Forsett was one of the best running backs in the NFL in 2014. He took advantage of the Ray Rice situation and rushed for 1266 yards and 8 touchdowns on 235 carries (5.39 YPC), grading out as Pro Football Focus’ 6th ranked running back. However, he’s going into his age 30…

Continue reading →: Philadelphia Eagles sign RB Ryan Mathews
When I first saw these numbers, 11.5 million over 3 years with 5 million guaranteed, I thought it was a great deal for the Eagles. Mathews obviously has an injury history, playing all 16 games just once in 5 seasons, including missing 20 games combined, including 10 last season. However,…

Continue reading →: Philadelphia Eagles sign RB DeMarco Murray
People criticized the Eagles for trading LeSean McCoy for Kiko Alonso because Alonso isn’t as good of a player as McCoy is. However, two weeks later, the Eagles have found their replacement for McCoy, giving DeMarco Murray a 5-year, 40 million dollar deal with 21 million guaranteed, similar to the…

Continue reading →: Cleveland Browns sign WR Brian Hartline
Hartline was one of the worst wide receivers in the NFL in 2014, which led to his release from the Dolphins, a move that saved Miami 5.95 million in cash and 3.15 million on the cap. Hartline played all 16 games, but caught just 39 passes in 2014. He caught…

Continue reading →: San Diego Chargers sign G Orlando Franklin
Two off-seasons ago, the Broncos stole one of the Chargers’ offensive linemen, signing Louis Vasquez to a 4-year, 23.5 million dollar deal with 13 million guaranteed. That worked out well. This off-season, the Chargers return the favor by signing ex-Bronco Orlando Franklin to a 5-year, 36.5 million dollar deal with…
