Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings sign DT Linval Joseph
Linval Joseph, a 2nd round pick, has been a 3-year starter with the Giants from 2011-2013, grading out as Pro Football Focus’ 21st ranked defensive tackle in each of the last 2 seasons. Only 5 other players have graded out higher than him in both seasons (Gerald McCoy, Ndamukong Suh,…

Continue reading →: Pittsburgh Steelers sign RB LeGarrette Blount
LeGarrette Blount is a big name after what he did to the Colts in the playoffs, rushing for 166 yards and 4 touchdowns. However, people forget he had just 6 yards on 5 carries the following week in a loss in Denver. He averaged 5.19 yards per carry last season,…

Continue reading →: New England Patriots re-sign DT Vince Wilfork
The Patriots are ceding a lot in this extension. Rather than getting Vince Wilfork to take a pay cut, or outright cutting him, saving 8 million dollars and getting a comparable replacement like Kevin Williams for half that price, the Patriots have guaranteed 3 million dollars of Wilfork’s 2014 salary,…

Continue reading →: Houston Texans sign S Chris Clemons
The Texans are retooling the safety position this off-season, signing Kendrick Lewis, a mediocre starting/solid reserve safety, keeping Danieal Manning on a pay cut off of an injury, and now signing Chris Clemons. They also have DJ Swearinger and Shiloh Keo, who were their starters last season after Manning got…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears re-sign CB Tim Jennings
Tim Jennings led the NFL in interceptions in 2012 with 9 and graded out as Pro Football Focus’ 9th ranked cornerback. People dubbed this as his breakout year because they’re fixated on interception numbers and he had just 7 interceptions from 2008-2011, but he was actually very solid in 2010…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears re-sign C Roberto Garza
Roberto Garza, formerly a solid guard in his prime, struggled at center in 2010-2012, especially struggling in 2011, when he graded out as Pro Football Focus’ 2nd worst ranked center. However, he was actually pretty solid last season, grading out as Pro Football Focus’ 12th ranked center. There’s no guarantee…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears re-sign G Matt Slauson
Matt Slauson, a 6th round pick in 2009, made 48 starts for the Jets from 2010-2012, grading out slightly above average in each of those 3 seasons. The Bears were able to get him on a cheap one year deal last off-season and what started as a smart move paid…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears sign DE Jared Allen
I thought the Bears were going to be set at defensive end after signing LaMarr Houston and Willie Young, to go with Shea McClellin as an outside linebacker who rushes off the edge in sub packages. However, I guess they decided they needed to add another starting defensive end. I…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins sign RB Knowshon Moreno
Knowshon Moreno had over 1500 yards from scrimmage last season (1038 rushing and 548 receiving), but was still available about 3 weeks into free agency. However, there were reasons for that. The running back position has been strongly devalued in the NFL. We’re in an off-season where no running back…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears re-sign CB Charles Tillman
Charles Tillman was once a dominant cornerback, grading out 20th, 6th, and 3rd in 2010, 2011, and 2012 respectively. However, he struggled last year, grading out as Pro Football Focus’ 89th ranked cornerback out of 110 eligible on 438 snaps. The likely reasons for that are threefold. One is his…
