Continue reading →: Washington Redskins sign DE Stephen Paea
Paea was Pro Football Focus’ 11th ranked defensive tackle in 2014, but he was a one-year wonder as the 2011 2nd round pick graded out below average in each of his first 3 seasons in the NFL from 2011-2013. That being said, this deal is an appropriate value for him,…

Continue reading →: Oakland Raiders sign C Rodney Hudson
The Raiders made Rodney Hudson the highest paid center in the NFL with this move, giving him 44.5 million over 5 years. Last off-season, Alex Mack and Maurkice Pouncey got 42 and 44 million respectively over the same time period in then record breaking deals. Hudson is a good center,…

Continue reading →: New England Patriots re-sign S Devin McCourty
The Patriots were unable to re-sign Darrelle Revis, but they did well to bring back Devin McCourty before the start of free agency. It was a weak safety market so McCourty easily could have been overpaid, but this deal, which pays him 47.5 million over 5 years with 28.5 million…

Continue reading →: New York Jets sign CB Darrelle Revis
Revis was reportedly going to give the Patriots the right to match any offer he got elsewhere, so we can safely assume that the Patriots’ final offer was less than this 5-year, 70 million dollar deal with 39 million guaranteed that Revis got from his former team, the New York…

Continue reading →: Jacksonville Jaguars sign OT Jeremy Parnell
In the Cowboys’ off-season preview, I mentioned that they could re-sign Parnell instead of Doug Free if they saw Pernell as a younger, cheaper option at right tackle. So much for that. Free got 15 million over 3 years from the Cowboys with 6 million guaranteed. Pernell got almost as…

Trade for Saints: I think you can say this is the most surprising move of the day. With probably the least financial flexibility of any team in the NFL, the Saints came up with a creative way to get under the cap for this year and give them added flexibility…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts sign OLB Trent Cole
The Eagles cut Cole earlier this month, but that doesn’t mean he can’t still play well. He was cut because he was owed 10.025 million in cash and the Eagles freed up 8.425 million in cap space by letting him go. Freeing up cap space has been a big theme…

Continue reading →: Buffalo Bills re-sign OLB Jerry Hughes
Jerry Hughes was a bust in Indianapolis as a first round pick in 2010, playing a combined 240 snaps in 2010 and 2011 and then struggling in his first serious action in 2012, grading out 25th out of 34 eligible 3-4 outside linebackers. The Bills acquired him after that season for…

Continue reading →: Philadelphia Eagles re-sign OLB Brandon Graham
The Eagles have whiffed on a few free agents this off-season, but they finally found someone to take some of their massive amount of cap space, re-signing Brandon Graham. It’s a good move. Graham is seen as not being able to play in a 3-4, but, while he’s probably better…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears sign OLB Pernell McPhee
McPhee was a risky signing this off-season. On one hand, he graded out as Pro Football Focus’ #2 ranked 3-4 outside linebacker in 2014 despite playing just 540 snaps. He was 2nd in the NFL behind only JJ Watt with 21 quarterback hits. He’s not a one year wonder as that…
