Continue reading →: Buffalo Bills extend S Aaron Williams
So the Bills won’t give Jairus Byrd 9 million per year, but giving Aaron Williams 6.5 million is fine? This makes Aaron Williams the 11th highest paid safety in the NFL in terms of average salary. Williams, a 2011 2nd round pick, was a bust at cornerback in 2011 and…

Continue reading →: Detroit Lions re-sign RB Joique Bell
3.1 million per year over 3 years might seem like too much money for a backup running back considering the way the running back position has been devalued, but Joique Bell, a restricted free agent, might have been the best running back on the open market if he were an…

Continue reading →: Denver Broncos sign S TJ Ward
This is an absolute steal. TJ Ward definitely took less money to join a contender in Denver because there’s no way 23 million over 4 years was the best offer Ward could get. He got 5 million dollars less over 4 years than Donte Whitner did to take Ward’s old…

Continue reading →: New Orleans Saints sign S Jairus Byrd
This contract makes Jairus Byrd the highest paid safety in the NFL, paying him 54 million over 6 years with 28 million guaranteed, but he deserves to be. Byrd has been the league 5 years, since being drafted in the 2nd round in 2009, and he’s been an above average…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins sign S Louis Delmas
The Dolphins had a need at safety after deciding to move on from Chris Clemons. I’m not entirely sure why they did that considering Clemons has been a solid starter over the past two seasons, but I’m not taking that into account in this grade. Signing Delmas was a pretty…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins sign DT Earl Mitchell
The Miami Dolphins had a need for a defensive tackle after losing Paul Soliai to the Falcons and I was actually intrigued to see Earl Mitchell sign with a 4-3 team going into the off-season. He was a 3rd round pick in 2010, but the 6-2 292 pounder was miscast…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins sign OT Branden Albert
The Dolphins obviously needed a blindside protector, possibly more than any team in the league, but this was a buyer’s market in terms of left tackles, which is a rarity considering top level blindside protectors rarely are allowed to hit the open market. However, this off-season Albert, Jared Veldheer, Eugene…

Continue reading →: Tampa Bay Buccaneers sign OT Anthony Collins
Many fans might not have heard of Anthony Collins, but the NFL sure knows who he is. He’s been the Bengals’ swing tackle for years and he’s always shown well when given the chance, grading out above average on Pro Football Focus in limited action in every season since 2009.…

Continue reading →: Tampa Bay Buccaneers sign DE Michael Johnson
The Buccaneers had a gaping hole at defensive end and filled it with Michael Johnson. Johnson is an incredibly athletic edge rusher who went in the 3rd round out of Georgia Tech in 2009 because a lot of his tape didn’t match his athleticism. He eventually put everything together in…

Continue reading →: Tampa Bay Buccaneers sign QB Josh McCown
I think the Buccaneers might be overrating Josh McCown. Going into last season, Josh McCown was a 34-year-old quarterback who hadn’t posted a quarterback rating of over 70 since 2006. McCown played very solid in limited action with the Bears last season, completing 66.5% of his passes for an average…
