Miami Dolphins Sign Wide Receiver Greg Jennings

After shipping Mike Wallace off to Minnesota, the Miami Dolphins have signed Greg Jennings to a two-year contract worth $8 million. Which essentially means Mike Wallace and Greg Jennings were inadvertently traded for each other via wonky means. The Dolphins have been anything but quiet this off-season, acquiring the likes of star defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, tight end... Read More

Tennessee Titans Sign Wide Receiver Hakeem Nicks

If you're as big of a Hakeem Nicks fan as I am then you'd know how frustrating it's been to watch him try to get back to his old self these last few seasons. Riddled with injuries in his last two years with the New York Giants, Nicks found his way to the Indianapolis Colts... Read More

Oakland Raiders Sign Wide Receiver Michael Crabtree

If any of you out there were waiting for a resurgence from Michael Crabtree upon leaving the San Francisco 49ers, keep on waiting.

Pittsburgh Steelers Running Back Le'Veon Bell Suspended 3 Games

The three game ban may seem hefty but we all knew the suspension was looming from 2014's incident with LeGarrette Blount. Bell will obviously be appealing the suspension but winning an appeal in the NFL is a rarity so expect the three game tag to stick. The Steelers signed DeAngelo Williams this off-season in a...

New York Jets Sign Running Back Stevan Ridley

The addition of running back Stevan Ridley to the New York Jets comes as a slight head-scratcher given the team’s current situation at the position. As it stands right now, both Chris Ivory and Bilal Powell remain on the roster, so it’s hard to envision a scenario where this becomes anything other than a three-headed monster... Read More

Cleveland Browns Sign Tight End Rob Housler

In a move that will likely be overlooked by both football fans and fantasy pundits alike, the Cleveland Browns acquired tight end Rob Housler to replace Jordan Cameron. Cameron left Cleveland for the Miami Dolphins over the off-season and although he's a much better player than Housler, this move is a little more significant than... Read More

Houston Texans Sign Wide Receiver Nate Washington

The specifics of the contract have yet to be confirmed but the Houston Texans did indeed acquire free agent wide receiver Nate Washington. Washington should come in as the number three receiver behind clear number one DeAndre Hopkins with recent signee Cecil Shorts being the number two. Washington had a decent enough tenure as part of... Read More

Philadelphia Eagles Sign Wide Receiver Miles Austin

With Jeremy Maclin leaving Philadelphia for Kansas City, it was expected that the Eagles would ultimately add another wide receiver to their depth chart either via free agency or the NFL Draft. The team opted to sign veteran Miles Austin to a one year deal worth $2.3 million that includes incentives. Austin has proven in... Read More

Carolina Panthers Sign Wide Receiver Jarrett Boykin

The Carolina Panthers are a team desperate for a legit number two wide receiver opposite Kelvin Benjamin. Jericho Cotchery was serviceable in that role in 2014 but he's not the type of player who would scare defenses enough to protect Benjamin. Cotchery's 48 receptions on 78 targets for 580 yards aren't exactly stellar. The signing... Read More

Atlanta Falcons Sign TE Jacob Tamme

The Falcons made a quiet yet sneaky move this week by signing free agent Tight End Jacob Tamme to a two-year contract. Tamme played with Peyton Manning's Denver Broncos last season while the Falcons struggled to get anything going at tight end. The move says quite a bit about how both teams feel about their respective... Read More
