NFL Free Agency Signings

Thursday, March 13, 2014

Day 1 of free agency signings in the National Football League proved to be a busy day. Some of the top free agents have already agreed to terms with teams or have already signed. These names include Darrelle Revis (CB), Eric Decker (WR), Demarcus Ware (DE), and Rashad Jennings (RB).

The most recent was Eric Decker agreeing to terms with the New York Jets with a 36.25 million dollar contract over five years. Eric Decker proved to be an elite wide receiver last year with Peyton Manning as his quarterback. With the Jets and Geno Smith, Eric Decker may not be as much of a threat. The Jets have seemed to be interested in Michael Vick, which would really help Eric Decker become more affective and their offense as a whole.

Darrelle Revis has signed with his ex-rival team the New England Patriots to a one-year 12 million dollar contract. It is no secret that New England's defense has struggled over the past couple of seasons. Bringing in an elite cornerback in Darrelle Revis, the New England Patriots will be more of a threat then they have been in the past. The Patriots have expressed interest in Darrelle Revis for a long term deal. 

Demarcus Ware, former Dallas Cowboy Defensive End, has signed with the Denver Broncos with a three-year deal worth 30 million dollars with 20 million dollars being guaranteed money. The Broncos defense last season was by no means bad, but they did collapse during the most important game of the year—the super bowl. Demarcus Ware will bring more consistency to the Broncos defense and make the Broncos a serious threat come next season. 

Rashad Jennings, former Oakland Raiders' Running Back, has signed with the New York Giants to a one-year 1.75 million dollar deal. Rashad Jennings had a pretty solid season running behind Darren McFadden. He will continue his success with the Giants and will have a break-out season next season. The giants running game has struggled since losing Ahmad Bradshaw, and landing a player like Rashad Jennings will help the Giants become a playoff contender next season.
