Team by Team free Agent Grades

[Kevin Greene]

ST play isn't gravy. There was no stability in the return game last year. He completely ignored bringing in Ginn immediately makes the return game better. What he brings as a receiver is the gravy. Ginn was brought here to be the return guy.

 

 

OK, true and true.

What was the guy who made the article suppose to say? that we won free agency?

 

He obviously doesn't read the Huddle.

I will be honest.  To me, losing in free agency--the way he seems to view it--is a good thing. Not the way Dallas did it, but the way we lost.  I personally think Gettlemen was masterful this year.  When you see Oher's turnaround--and I see why they feel good about it---and you see the special teams' improvement, you can thank DG.

 

The bottom line is this:  This is a team game.  You rarely know how a player is going to fit in with the players, coaches, and system.  Often the high-priced guys are perfect fits where they are, or have spent 3-4 years learning the system and teammates.  Why pay for that?  High-end free agency is for the desperate.

Hope were still considering bringing in some of these names in to battle at the (Safety and Strong Side Backer) positions along the rookies and current players we have for the final 53....were a couple players off of having a 2000 ravens type defense...

Seems to me that many times those who finish higher in these ratings meaning that they spent a ton to bring in big name guys, finish near the bottom in regular season rankings. Last years big winner was Tampa, Lol.

Looking at some of the teams with great FA grades last year, I am happy to not be on that list. 

 

Buccaneers A (2-14)

Redskins A- (3-13)

Giants B+ (6-10)

Vikings B+ (7-9)

Falcons B+ (6-10)

Jaguars B (3-13)

Raiders B (3-13)

Is this the list where they grade us on how many big named free agents we signed?

Of course we failed, Gettleman was going to sign any of those guys.

Gipson is a stud but the Browns slapped a 2nd-RD tender on him before FA even started and no team bit.  They're now working out a long term deal apparently but it's been quiet.

I was wondering if someone would look that up.

Seriously who cares about free agent grades.  It's been proven year after year the draft makes a way bigger difference to your team.

Teams getting horrible grades for not overpaying Big Names while other Teams get Top Grades for spending Tiffany Money on Trader Joe players - I give this slideshow an F

I think Rolando McClain might be back out of the NFL shortly. I think he's getting investigated for arson, burning his own house down for cash.

 

Don't know what happened to Stevie Brown, he was definitely an up and comer. Gman would know tho. Maybe his injury slowed him down some.

Hell, I alluded to that in the third post. I guess that one flew over people's heads.

These lists are stupid for multiple reasons. Without covering a specific team, it's hard for anyone to know a whole lot about each one of them.

He says the Saints seemed like they changed just to change, with no really plan. Sean Payton clearly said you don't want to change just to change at the end of the year. He said it in his press conference. It's very clear the Saints want to improve their offensive line and defense. Not sure how that slipped by the author.
