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…

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…
