Continuing the daily contract grades and analysis we look at the deals of game three. Don't be alarmed by excluding Jason Hatcher and Jameel McClain, we will cover them when their contract details are disclosed.
Winner and Losers of Free Agency: Day Three
Raiders sign DE/OLB LaMarr Woodley (2 years, $12 million): The Raiders are born again in free agency. Woodley is aging and has never played in the 4-3, but he is a great apes rusher. If he can stay healthy and learn to put his hand on the ground then this deal is a steal for the Raiders.
Grade: A-
Free Agency Contract Analysis: Day One
Free Agency Contract Analysis: Day Two
Vikings sign CB Captain Munnerlyn (3 years, $14.25M; $7M guaranteed): The Vikings were interested in Alterraun Verner and got a slightly less talent player for less. I like this move for the Vikings and agree with Mike Zimmers decisions. Munnerlyn will be a great addiction to the Viking secondary.
Grade: B+
Texans re-sign TE Garrett Graham (3 years, $11.25M; $4.5M guaranteed): I like Graham to the Texans, but I don't like the money. I said in his preview that he would benefit from being behind an establish veteran. Thats a lot of money for a guy who didn’t shine when given the opportunity last season.
Grade:C-
NFL Draft Team Preview: Denver Broncos
NFL Draft Team Preview: Seattle Seahawks
Raiders sign DE Justin Tuck (2 years, $11 million): Another great defensive signing for the Raiders. Yes, they let Lamarr Houston go and Tuck is not a great replacement, but Tuck has plenty to give for cheap. Oakland is building a pass rush for pennies and veterans. I like it.
Grade: B
Bears sign DE Willie Young (3 years, $9M; $3.95M guaranteed): I love this move. Young is one of the more underrated pass rushers in football and now he's paired with Houston in Chicago. I said earlier that I liked the Houston deal, but he isn’t the pass rusher Julius Peppers is, but adding young makes them better than 2013. save this article down this is the best signing of day three and top ten of the offseason.
Grade: A
