Continue reading →: Tennessee Titans sign G Andy Levitre
I have never liked the idea of giving a guard a lot of money, but the Titans desperately needed guard help and Levitre will instantly turn the left guard position into a position of major strength. Plus, Levitre got less money than Davin Joseph (7 years, 52.5 million with 19…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins sign WR Mike Wallace
It always concerns me when a guy is obviously just chasing money. Wallace held out long into training camp last year rather than play out the final year of his rookie deal and, as a result, he had a poor year by his standards in 2012, with 64 catches for…

Continue reading →: Cleveland Browns sign OLB Paul Kruger
Paul Kruger was a very productive pass rusher down the stretch for the Ravens last year with 14 sacks, 14 hits, and 33 hurries in his final 12 games from week 10 on, but he didn’t really do anything until Terrell Suggs came back and had just 1 sack, 3…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts sign CB Greg Toler
Injuries have limited Greg Toler to 308 snaps over the last 2 seasons, but the Colts gave him 15 million over 3 years anyway. He’s always played pretty well when healthy and graded out above average on ProFootballFocus this season, on the strength of a game against Detroit in which…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts sign G Donald Thomas
Donald Thomas proved that he deserved a starting job in 2013 after playing very well for the Patriots in 7 spot starts in 2012. Despite his limited playing time, he still finished the year as ProFootballFocus’ 17th rated guard. He was a better run blocker than pass protector, but allowed…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins re-sign S Chris Clemons
Clemons is an unheralded player, but he graded out positively both against the run and in coverage last year. He barely played in 2011 and struggled in his first two years in the league after the Dolphins took him in the 5th round of the 2009 NFL Draft, so credit…

Continue reading →: St. Louis Rams sign TE Jared Cook
Jared Cook was underutilized in Tennessee and put up good per snap numbers as a receiver despite never really having great quarterback play. He has 1718 career receiving yards on 1057 career routes run, a rate of 1.63 yards per route run. For comparison, Owen Daniels had 1.63 yards per…

Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals sign QB Drew Stanton
I do like the setup of this contract a lot. It’s worth 8.2 million base, but up to 20 million after incentives and only 3 million guaranteed. Basically, if he becomes a starting quarterback for them, he’ll be paid like one and if not, he’ll be paid a reasonable salary…

Continue reading →: Denver Broncos sign G Louis Vasquez
I didn’t like a lot of moves today. That’s normally how the first day goes. The desperate teams make the big splash moves and don’t get any better as a result and end up cutting him 2 or 3 years into the deal, while the smart teams let things come…

Continue reading →: Tennessee Titans sign TE Delanie Walker
I really didn’t think anyone would sign Delanie Walker other than the 49ers. Because of his specific role in their system, he was more valuable to them as a 2nd tight end than to anyone else. Apparently the Titans disagreed as they outbid the 49ers for him and will pay…
