OT Jermon Bushrod On the surface, Bushrod is a valuable member of the Saints’ offense. He has allowed just 7 sacks in the last 2 seasons on one of the league’s most pass heavy offenses and made the Pro-Bowl last year. Pro-Bowl offensive tackles are rarely allowed to hit the…

OLB Erin Henderson Erin Henderson was one of the best linebackers in the league last year, albeit only a two-down run stuffer. However, this season, he’ll get an every down role and could have the type of breakout season that gets his name mentioned with the best linebackers in the…

DE Cliff Avril The Lions franchised Avril this offseason, giving him 10.6 million guaranteed, but failed to reach a long term agreement with him, after he rejected their 3 year, 30 million dollar deal, with 20 million guaranteed. Avril skipped the early part of Training Camp in protest. Avril is…

DT Henry Melton Henry Melton had a breakout year in 2012, registering 7 sacks, 9 quarterback hits, and 23 quarterback pressures and graded out as ProFootballFocus’ 17th ranked defensive tackle. Heading into his 4th year in the league and a contract year, Melton, a 2009 4th rounder, is expected to…

In what I find to be one of the funniest NFL stories I’ve read in a while, summing up the Jaguars’ ineptitude, Jacksonville Jaguars’ first year Head Coach Mike Mularkey and star running back Maurice Jones Drew have still never met each other. That’s right. The Jaguars Head Coach has…

After going fully with a youth approach at the running back position this offseason, the Packers have finally caved and signed a veteran back, signing Cedric Benson, formerly of the Cincinnati Bengals, to a one year contract. Prior to Benson’s signing, the idea was to have James Starks, a 2010…

WR Greg Jennings Jennings seems like a natural fit for the franchise tag. He’s one of the best players heading into a contract year in the league this season and he doesn’t face much, if any, competition from teammates for the franchise tag. They’ll want to make sure they can…

OLB Anthony Spencer Anthony Spencer was franchised this offseason, at the rate of 8.8 million, which was surprising because he’s never managed more than 6 sacks in a season. However, a closer look at his statistics shows that he is a very good player. Though he only had 6 sacks…

CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie While I like DRC, a 2009 Pro-Bowler and 2008 1st round pick, to have a bounce back year in 2012, now that he’s no longer playing the slot and now that he’s motivated financially, the cornerback tender is one of the most expensive tenders in the league,…

TE Fred Davis Players aren’t franchised two years in a row very often and Davis was franchised this offseason, but he does make sense as an exception. The tight end franchise tag value is still relatively cheap, the cheapest of any non-special teamer (5.4 million in 2012). The Redskins could…
