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…

Continue reading →: New York Giants sign G Geoff Schwartz
Geoff Schwartz is one of the most underrated players in football. He played well in 2010 with the Panthers, in 11 games at guard and 5 games at tackle. His composite grade would have been 5th among guard and 13th among tackles on Pro Football Focus. However, he missed the entire 2011…

Continue reading →: Seattle Seahawks sign DT Tony McDaniel
This is very similar to the deal that the Buccaneers gave Clinton McDonald. Like McDonald, Tony McDaniel was a little thought of defensive tackle before this season, playing 590 snaps in 2011 and 2012 combined, but broke out this season with the Seahawks (though McDaniel came from Miami, while McDonald…

Continue reading →: Tampa Bay Buccaneers sign DT Clinton McDonald
Clinton McDonald was a 7th round pick in 2009 and played just 794 snaps in his career before this season. He was actually cut by the Seahawks in final cuts and re-signed in mid-September. Given that, it might seem weird that McDonald is getting a 12 million dollar deal over…

Continue reading →: New York Jets sign QB Michael Vick
Michael Vick has been on the decline in every season since 2010, which makes sense considering how reliant he is on his legs and how many injuries he’s suffered in the past. He put up decent numbers in 7 games last season, completing 54.6% of his passes for an average…

Continue reading →: Pittsburgh Steelers sign S Mike Mitchell
Mike Mitchell was a 2nd round pick of the Raiders in 2009 based on his freakish athleticism (4.39 40 at 6-1 216), but he never really put it together in Oakland, playing an average of 394 snaps per season, maxing out at 508 snaps, and grading out below average on…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts sign WR Hakeem Nicks
Hakeem Nicks, a 2009 1st round pick, looked like one of the best young receivers in the NFL from 2009-2011. He ranked 8th in yards per route run in both 2009 and 2010, doing so on just 344 routes run as a rookie and then developing into a starter with…

Continue reading →: New England Patriots re-sign WR Julian Edelman
I thought that Julian Edelman should have been higher on the Patriots’ off-season to do list than Aqib Talib. Talib is an overrated player who can’t stay healthy and was sure to be overpaid on the open market. A cornerback trio of Alfonzo Dennard, Logan Ryan, and Kyle Arrington would…

Continue reading →: Green Bay Packers sign OLB Julius Peppers
This contract is officially 26 million over 3 years (with another 4 million available through incentives), which seems pretty weird for a player going into his age 34 season. However, this deal has no guaranteed money after the first year, in which he’ll make 8.5 million. The Packers can easily…

Continue reading →: Oakland Raiders sign OT Austin Howard
This is an overpay for Austin Howard, who has been a solid, but unspectacular right tackle for the Jets in 2 seasons as a starter, grading out 31st among offensive tackles on Pro Football Focus in 2012 and 47th in 2013. Giving him 30 million over 5 years with 15…
