Day 3 of free agency was a day of role players, and the remaining top targets found their homes. There are still top dollar free agents looking for their 2014 team and some solid veteran players. Looking at notable free agents to sign who were the winners and losers?
Winner and Losers of Free Agency: Day One
Winner and Losers of Free Agency: Day Two
Winners:
Oakland Raiders: It’s like ever since Rodger Saffold failed his physical the Raiders have a new lease on life. The signings of Justin Tuck and Lamarr Woodley have made this Raider pass rush one to be respected and they did it on the cheap. Look for the Raiders to be heavily interested in newly released Donald Penn to improve that OT situation.
Breaking Down Mel Kiper's Mock Draft 3.0
Philadelphia Eagles: Look at what the Eagles have done this season on both sides of the ball. They kept everyone in house under lock and key and then added a few players in places of need. They used a fifth-round pick they got from the Patriots and turned it into Darren Sproles, and added improvements to the defense. Nolan Carroll is a good signing for great money to help at corner and Malcolm Jenkins is not a great player but an improvement nonetheless. Chip Kelly still has the draft as well.
Jacksonville Jaguars: The Jaguars are still a dumpster fire, but they are going in the right direction. Everyone you ask in the NFL has nothing but great things to say about Gus Bradley. Bradley’s reviews are good through one season and now he is building his defense. The signing of Chris Clemons, Red Bryant and Jason Babin is a solid foundation, but signing Ziggy Hood is miserable and inexcusable. Bradley is building something and it’s starting to take shape.
Grading the Contracts of Free Agency: Day One
Grading the Contracts of Free Agency: Day Two
Losers:
Carolina Panthers: The Panthers are having a rough time and are a shell of their former self. Jordan Gross and half the offensive line retires and then they lost Captain Munnerlyn and Ted Ginn Jr. in the same day. The Panthers have holes everywhere now and have to act soon if they want to continue the pace they set last season. Oh and they angered one of the angriest players of all time in Steve Smith. I hope they play whatever team signs him
Dallas Cowboys: This is what happens when you have a terrible cap situation. The Cowboys are now left with 10 DL, seven of which are on their third team and the other three have a combined two career sacks. How the mighty have fallen. DeMarcus Ware is gone to Denver and now Jason Hatcher jumps to a division rival in Washington. It’s hard being America’s team.
