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…

Continue reading →: New York Giants re-sign MLB Jon Beason
Jon Beason was a decent linebacker, drafted in the 1st round in 2007, but he was massively overpaid going into the contract year of his rookie year on a 5-year, 50 million dollar deal. Making things even worse, he missed 27 of 32 games from 2011-2012 with a variety of…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins re-sign CB Brent Grimes
This year’s cornerback free agent class was hyped as one of the better in recent memory and there are valid arguments for that, but each of the top cornerbacks had their warts (except cap casualty Darrelle Revis). Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Vontae Davis all have been inconsistent in their careers, before…

Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals sign OT Jared Veldheer
There might not have been a team needier for offensive tackles than the Cardinals, not just because of their lack of talent at the position last year, but because of their lack of talent at the position for many years. It’s been seemingly forever since they had competent offensive tackle…

Continue reading →: Baltimore Ravens re-sign MLB Daryl Smith
Daryl Smith was Pro Football Focus’ 2nd ranked 4-3 outside linebacker in 2011, but missed most of the 2012 season with injury and was undervalued on the open market, coming from Jacksonville and going into his age 31 season. The Ravens wisely snatched him up and plugged him in at…

Continue reading →: Baltimore Ravens re-sign OT Eugene Monroe
It’s crazy how much the league seems to undervalue Eugene Monroe. The Ravens were able to steal him from the Jaguars for a mid-round pick this season, probably the equivalent to what they would have gotten in a compensation pick had he just left as a free agent this off-season.…

Continue reading →: Cleveland Browns sign MLB Karlos Dansby
This was a fairly strong free agent class overall, but the one position where it was weak was at middle linebacker. Middle linebacker in general was a weak position in the NFL last season, as only 16 of 55 eligible middle linebackers on Pro Football Focus graded out positively last…
