Continue reading →: Cleveland Browns sign RB Ben Tate
Ben Tate has certainly flashed the ability to be a feature back in the NFL. Tate was drafted in the 2nd round in 2010 by the Texans to be the starting running back, but broke his ankle in the pre-season, which opened the door for Arian Foster to emerge as…

These are some contracts given to right tackles over the past 2 off-seasons: Sebastian Vollmer (4 years, 17 million), Andre Smith (3 years, 18 million), Phil Loadholt (4 years, 25 million), Austin Howard (5 years, 30 million), and Michael Oher (4 years, 20 million). Given that, it’s a great value…

Continue reading →: Tennessee Titans sign OT Michael Oher
Michael Oher had the worst year of his 5-year career last year, as the 2009 1st round pick graded out as Pro Football Focus’ 68th ranked offensive tackle out of 76 eligible on the right side in Baltimore. Oher has actually regressed in almost every season as a pro. He…

Evan Dietrich-Smith took over as the starting center from Jeff Saturday late in the 2012 season and played solid in limited action and then graded out as Pro Football Focus’ 8th ranked center in 2013 in his first full season as a starter. He’s still just a one year wonder, but…

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…
