The Ravens have had very little time to bask in the glory of winning the Super Bowl. Within thirty days, the Ravens had to take steps to re-sign impending free agent, Super Bowl MVP quarterback, Joe Flacco. In doing so, they made him the highest paid player in the NFL! Now, with a key player back in the fold, the Ravens were expected to have a tough time re-signing other key free agent players, most of who were in high demand. The team’s biggest unrestricted free agents included FS Ed Reed, LB Dannell Continue reading →

The Rams came so far under new head coach Jeff Fischer whose team improved from a league worst 2-14, to a respectable 7-8-1. The Rams not just a team on the rise, but a team being transformed. This off-season, more work remained for the Rams. Both wide receivers Danny Amendola and Brandon Gibsonwere unrestricted free agents. It was also about time to protectSam Bradfordand improve upon a Rams rushing attack ranked nineteenth in terms of yardage. With running backSteven Jacksonmoving on Continue reading →
The Titans had a lot of work to do this off-season. The Titans finished the 2012 season with one of the worst offenses (tenth least in points scored) and defenses (most points allowed) in the league. Much like 2011, the Titans lacked defensive and offensive consistency. The Titans pass protection struggled, allowing the twelfth most sacks at 39. Suffice it to say, the Titans needs entering free agency were aplenty. Continue reading →
After a terrible start, the Saints salvaged their 2012 season, finishing 7-9. This was despite the fact the Saints defense was one of the league’s worst in points allowed and yards allowed (total, passing,and rushing). On defense, the Saints never quite found themselves last season. Upon being reinstated by the league, and shortly after rejoining the team, Sean Payton took immediate steps to Continue reading →

Even though the Bears finished the 2012 season with a 10-6 record, the Bears offensive line was exposed again in 2012, allowing 44 sacks, eighth most among all teams. In addition, when free agency was about to begin, there was a need at the guard position where the starting right guard, and back-up right guard and left guard are all free agents, along with the back-up right tackle. One way or another, the Bears needed to add Continue reading →

On paper, the Cowboys look like one of the most promising teams in the league, a team that should at least make the playoffs. The Cowboys could take the field tomorrow with a full roster. So, this off-season was about upgrades for the Cowboys and building quality depth. This off-season was about trying to get back to what made this team great. It’s about getting back to not only believing you’re the best, or saying you’re the best, but being the best. Continue reading →
The Dolphins finished the 2012 season with a 7-9 win/loss record. Yet, the Dolphins could be a team on the cusp of turning things around! Entering free agency, the Dolphins had roughly $40-plus million in salary cap space. But, the Dolphins had seven starters that were free agents on March 12th including, among others, RB Reggie Bush, LT Jake Long, WR Brian Hartline, and DB Sean Smith. Like 2011, the Dolphins defense had its moments where it looked like one of the better defenses in the league, especially their rush defense. The Dolphins defense was also top-ten in least points allowed at 19.8 per game. The offense, on the other hand Continue reading →
