FA Recap W/ Grades Part 3

89 Star HB Aaron Jones: Saints: 1 year, 4.5M Salary, 4.5M Bonus: B- 9M for a RB is a lot but jones should actually really help New Orleans’ offense and it’s just a 1 year deal

84 Star FS John Johnson III: Packers: 1 year, 4M Salary, 2.7M Bonus: D+ I don’t care that he’s solid overall, he has 84 speed and isn’t even a mentor, I don’t know how he contributes

82 Normal FS Eddie Jackson: Commanders: 1 year, 1.7M Salary, 2M Bonus: C Good contract but another safety that I don’t see contributing at all, maybe in a dime package.

81 Normal CB Marcus Peters: Packers: 2 years, 6.4M Salary, 4.8M Bonus: C+ the contract is good and he isn’t that bad even though he is slow now. Mentor tag also for the greatest CB Duo ahead of him in Jaire and PS2

80 Normal WR Robert Woods: Jets: 1 year, 3.7M Salary, 2.5M Bonus: C not a big contributor but he’ll mentor Jets receivers and can probably make a couple plays in the slot if he has to

79 Normal LE Jadeveon Clowney: Packers: 1 year, 6.7M Salary, 4.3M Bonus: B+ the contract is a little expensive but his attributes are very solid and he’s a mentor so I like this signing

77 Normal DT David Onyemata: Raiders: 1 year, 2M Salary, 2.3M Bonus: B+ good 1 year contract for a solid veteran who can play or just be a depth piece. Smart signing

77 Normal CB Ahkello Witherspoon: Raiders: 1 year, 2M Salary, 1M Bonus: B- good 1 year deal but despite being 6’2 and having solid attributes, he can’t keep up with anyone on the field. Trust me I had him last year.

76 Normal SS Tre Flowers: Eagles: 1 year, 1.9M Salary, 900k Bonus: B+ cheap contract for a safety who can still be relied on if he’s on the field, big and not slow. If only he had the mentor tag this would be an A+

76 Normal SS Chuck Clark: Seahawks: 1 year, 2M Salary, 900k Bonus: C+ doesn’t move the needle at all but the contract and player are fine. Should’ve just gone after Flowers

76 Normal FS Brandon Stephens: Browns: 2 years, 3.2M Salary, 2.4M Bonus: A- Browns are making the most of little cap room and this is a nice FS who can start if need be for the rest of the cycle.

75 Normal DT Davon Hamilton: Raiders: 1 year, 1.9M Salary, 1.7M Bonus: B- you can never have too much depth and the contract is good just a little unnecessary after the Onyemata signing.

75 Normal CB Emmanuel Moseley: Saints: 1 year, 1.6M Salary, 1.2M Bonus: B good nickel corner who isn’t good at anything but isn’t bad at anything either. Would struggle if he has to play outside though.

75 Normal HB Tyler Badie: Eagles: 4 years, 7.2M Salary, 3.6M Bonus: C time will tell if Derrick Henry is actually moving or staying in Philly but if he stays, Badie is a fine backup, if he goes, Badie is a carbon copy of Will Shipley pretty much which means the backfield doesn’t have much diversity.

75 Normal WR Tim Patrick: Raiders: 1 year, 2.5M Salary, 900k Bonus: B+ Las Vegas traded for a speedy jump ball threat but why not add a more standard jump ball threat in case they want to really freak out defenses. The Raiders now have a good balance of speed and size in their receiver room.

74 Normal RE Robert Quinn: Falcons: 1 year, 2.7M Salary, 2.9M Bonus: C the contract is pretty big for a guy like quinn but the mentor tag justifies it. He won’t produce if he steps on the field in my opinion.

74 Normal RE Romeo Okwara: Eagles: 1 year, 2.4M Salary, 2.6M Bonus: C+ not as bad of a contract as Quinn got and he’s a better player but he doesn’t have the mentor tag and he still isn’t good

74 Normal LOLB David Long Jr: Colts: 2 years, 5M Salary, 3M Bonus: C- pretty expensive for a guy who comes on as the 5th best inside linebacker on the team, isn’t especially athletic either.

73 Normal ROLB Jaylon Smith: Colts: 1 year, 1.5M Salary, 1.5M Bonus: C+ fine contract since it’s 1 year and more athletic and capable than his overall shows. Still, he’s now the 6th best inside linebacker.

73 Normal DT Neville Gallimore: Vikings: 1 year, 1.6M Salary, 1.3M Bonus: D I have no problem with the contract but the Vikings are missing several key position starters and this is what they’re doing. Signing 84 strength defensive tackle backups.

73 Normal C Mark Glowinski: Chargers: 1 year, 1.5M Salary, 1.1M Bonus: A- contract is good for a backup and he is a mentor now with still very solid attributes. Smart move from the Chargers

73 Normal CB Michael Davis: Lions: 1 year, 1.8M Salary, 500k Bonus: A small 1 year contract for a tall corner who has 91 speed. Good move with no downside and a ton of potential upside

73 Normal LE Da’Shawn Hand: Patriots: 1 year, 3.5M Salary, 2.5M Bonus: C+ he’s honestly a solid 3-4 defensive end but the contract is more expensive than it should be, do the pros outweigh the contract?

72 Normal RG Chukwuma Okorafor: Chargers: 1 year, 1.8M Salary, 800k Bonus: B- capable backup on a reasonable contract who can plug and play anywhere. Protecting Herbert even if there’s an injury

72 Normal WR Jalen Guyton: Raiders: 2 years, 3.8M Salary, 1.2M Bonus: C he’s good and I’d like this a whole lot more if they weren’t signing so many depth receivers knowing at least 1 one of them is probably going to have to be cut.

72 Normal RT Joseph Noteboom: Bears: 1 year, 1.7M Salary, 1.1M Bonus: B+ beyond reasonable contract for a high quality backup who doesn’t have any glaring weaknesses.

72 Normal LOLB Julian Okwara: Steelers: 2 years, 4M Salary, 1.6M Bonus: A great contract for a depth edge rusher who looks very solid and is still 27 so he can be progressed into a capable rotational piece if need be.

71 Normal P Pressley Harvin III: Cardinals: 2 years, 2M Salary, 200k Bonus: B minimum contract for a fine punter, this is how special teams should be handled.

70 Normal TE JJ Arcega-Whiteside: Jets: 2 years, 3.4M Salary, 4M Bonus: B+ honestly surprised it took him so long to get signed as an 89 speed tight end even at just 6’2. Makes the tight end room shorter but if Claypool goes down again he plays very similarly.

70 Normal LE Demonte Capehart: Raiders: 1 year, 3M Salary, 2.4M Bonus: A a bit expensive of a contract but he’s 22 years old and has the makings of a good 3-4 defensive end. Can honestly contribute even as a low overall

68 Normal FS Tre’Vez Johnson: Falcons: 3 years, 3M Salary, 300k Bonus: B+ minimum contract for a 92 speed safety is a good move for most teams, also only 23 so he may be able to develop a bit.

67 Normal FB Jason Cabinda: Eagles: 1 year, 900k Salary, 400k Bonus: A+ cheap contract for a beyond capable fullback and I love fullbacks especially when they are used well.

65 Normal QB Kaidon Salter: Colts: 4 years, 9.2M Salary, 7.2M Bonus: D probably could have gotten a player of this caliber, including the 86 speed and 94 throw power, in a later round of the draft for a fraction of the price. The Colts also now have 4 quarterbacks under contract after this signing and Blaine Gabbert earlier.
