Continue reading →: Washington Redskins re-sign MLB Perry Riley
Perry Riley, a 2010 4th round pick, has been starting for the Redskins at middle linebacker for about 2 ½ years, since the middle of the 2011 season. He was about an average starter in both 2011 and 2012, for the first 1 ½ year and a half of his…

Continue reading →: Houston Texans sign QB Ryan Fitzpatrick
After pawning Matt Schaub’s fat contract off on the Raiders and somehow getting a draft pick out of it, the Texans were left without a veteran quarterback to compete with a quarterback they presumably will draft in May’s 2014 NFL Draft. Neither Case Keenum nor TJ Yates were viable options.…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins re-sign DT Randy Starks
Randy Starks is an underrated, undermentioned player who has graded out above average in each of the last 6 seasons from 2008-2013 since becoming a starter, maxing out as Pro Football Focus’ 2nd ranked 3-4 defensive end in 2009 and 7th ranked defensive tackle in 2013. He has scheme versatility at 6-3…

Continue reading →: New York Jets re-sign OLB Calvin Pace
Calvin Pace looked pretty done after the 2012 season, after recording 8 sacks in 2011 and 2012 combined and grading out as Pro Football Focus’ 3rd worst ranked 3-4 outside linebacker in 2012. The Jets cut Pace going into his age 33 season last off-season, but brought him back on a…

Continue reading →: New York Giants sign S Stevie Brown
Stevie Brown, a 2010 7th round pick by the Raiders, played a combined 163 snaps from 2010-2011, but broke out in 2012 with the Giants, intercepting 8 passes and playing 846 snaps. He wasn’t quite as good as the 8 interceptions would suggest because you can’t go just on pure…

Continue reading →: Philadelphia Eagles sign S Malcolm Jenkins
Malcolm Jenkins has had some decent years in his 5 year career, but ultimately he’s failed to live up to his billing as the 15th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. He struggled mightily as a slot cornerback as a rookie before being moved to safety, where he was…

Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings sign CB Captain Munnerlyn
The undersized Captain Munnerlyn (5-8 186) has been a late bloomer in his career, after struggling mightily early in his career after getting drafted in the 7th round in 2009. Very similar to the way the similarly sized Tim Jennings developed, Munnerlyn has emerged as an above average cornerback in…

Continue reading →: Washington Redskins sign DE Jason Hatcher
Jason Hatcher, now going into his age 32 season, has been a late bloomer in the NFL, but he’s a versatile defensive lineman who can really get after the quarterback. He graded out as Pro Football Focus’ 10th ranked 3-4 defensive end in 2011 as a talented reserve on 428…

Continue reading →: Jacksonville Jaguars sign G Zane Beadles
Every off-season it’s the same thing. Bad teams make bad moves and good teams make good moves. I understand that the Jaguars have to pay a premium to free agents to get them to sign with them, but this is still too much money for the inconsistent Beadles. The 6…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins sign CB Cortland Finnegan
I rarely give F’s for signings, but this one is an F. Actually, it’s more like a WTF. Cortland Finnegan was a train wreck last season with the Rams. He only played 367 snaps in 7 games for a variety of reasons, including injuries and poor performance, but he still…
