Continue reading →: Dallas Cowboys sign DT Henry Melton
The Cowboys desperately needed defensive line help this off-season, especially defensive tackle help. After losing Jason Hatcher to the Redskins, there might not have been a single team needier for any single position than the Cowboys were for a defensive tackle. Things were so desperate for the Cowboys at defensive…

A lot of cornerbacks have been overpaid this off-season, Aqib Talib (57 million over 6 years), Vontae Davis (39 million over 4 years), and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (35 million over 5 years). However, I’m shocked that Sam Shields was also overpaid (39 million over 4 years) for two reasons. One, the…

Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings re-sign DE Everson Griffen
This move was made right before the start of free agency and it was a real head scratcher. However, I’ve held off on grading it until now because there was a chance that the increased salary cap meant we might see a lot of head scratching deals this off-season and…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears sign DE Willie Young
This was one of the underrated moves of the off-season and the Bears are having an underrated off-season, re-signing their own guys at reasonable rates (Charles Tillman, Tim Jennings, Jay Cutler, Roberto Garza, Matt Slauson) and overhauling the defensive end position, which was much needed. They got a fair amount…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears sign DE LaMarr Houston
The Bears had a desperate need for defensive line help after they cut Julius Peppers. With Corey Wootton and Henry Melton set to hit free agency, the Bears needed new starters at 3 of 4 defensive line positions, in addition to fixing the complete lack of depth that showed last…

Tarell Brown has been an above average starter for the 49ers in each of the past 3 seasons, grading out above average on Pro Football Focus in each of the last 3 seasons, maxing out at 13th overall in 2012, including 4th in pure coverage grade. However, the worst of…

Continue reading →: New York Giants sign CB Walter Thurmond
Walter Thurmond had has a significant history of injuries, but he graded out as Pro Football Focus’ 31st ranked cornerback last season on just 480 snaps. He dominated on the slot, ranking 7th in the NFL among eligible cornerbacks, allowing 0.85 yards per coverage snap on the slot on 229…

Continue reading →: New York Giants sign CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie has a very interesting history. A 2008 1st round pick, DRC made the Pro-Bowl in 2009 and looked on his way towards cementing his place as one of the league’s best cornerbacks, grading out as Pro Football Focus’ 4th ranked cornerback that year. However, 2010 was the exact…

Continue reading →: Denver Broncos sign CB Aqib Talib
I really don’t understand giving top cornerback money to Aqib Talib. This contract is worth 57 million over 6 years, an average annual salary of 9.5 million, making him the 5th highest paid cornerback in the NFL in that regard. I don’t get the appeal. He’s never made it through…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts re-sign CB Vontae Davis
Vontae Davis had a dominant contract year, grading out as Pro Football Focus’ 3rd ranked cornerback and 2nd in terms of coverage grade. However, the Colts are overpaying him based on his contract year. He has an inconsistent past and the Colts are paying high, giving him a 36 million…
