With just over a week of NFL Free Agency behind us here's a look at some of my favorite free agent additions for each team.
Minnesota Vikings
Kirk Cousins, QB
The Vikings have been looking for consistency at quarterback since Fran Tarkenton retired. Cousins might be their best chance to find it.
Green Bay Packers
Muhammad Wilkerson, DE
Wilkerson joins Mike Daniels and Kenny Clark to form what could be one of the more disruptive defensive fronts in the league. As a Vikings fan, many I don't like this one so much.
Detroit Lions
LeGarrette Blount, RB
Add Blount. Win a Super Bowl. Blount has joined the Super Bowl winning team each of the last two seasons.
Chicago Bears
Trey Burton, TE
A tight end can be a young quarterback's best friend. Mitchell Trubiski needs a best friend.
New York Giants
Nate Solder, T
The Giants overspent but they needed Solder perhaps more than any other team needed a player. Especially after they lost out on the Andrew Norwell sweepstakes.
Philadelphia Eagles
Michael Bennett, DL
Bennett has been one of the most disruptive defensive linemen in the league for a while. He's closer to the end of his career than the beginning but the Eagles terrific rotation should keep him fresh.
Washington Redskins
Paul Richardson, WR
I expected Richardson to break in each of the last three seasons. He didn't do so in Seattle. Perhaps he will in Washington.
Dallas Cowboys
Joe Thomas (the linebacker not the now retired, future Hall of Fame tackle) or Deonte Thompson? The Cowboys haven't done enough to pick a favorite.
New Orleans Saints
Demario Davis, LB
Davis should help a Saints defense that made great strides in 2017.
Atlanta Falcons
Justin Bethel, CB
I've been a fan of Bethel since I saw him play what looked like all 11 positions against Cal for itty-bitty Presbyterian College. He was all over the field that day and I've followed his career ever since.
Carolina Panthers
Torey Smith, WR
Cam Newton needed more pass-catchers. Smith has the speed to give the Panthers what they had with Ted Ginn a couple years ago.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jason Pierre-Paul, DE
In adding Pierre-Paul, Vinny Curry, and Beau Allen, the Buccaneers attacked the defensive line in free agnecy.
San Francisco 49ers
Jerick McKinnon, RB
I hated to see McKinnon leave Minnesota but he deserves a shot at being at the top of the depth chart.
Los Angeles Rams
Marcus Peters, CB
Despite his gambling ways Peters gets his hands on the football a lot.
Arizona Cardinals
Sam Bradford, QB
Bradford has to stay on the field. When he's on the field he's a lot of fun.
Seattle Seahawks
Ed Dickson, TE
The only thing that's kept Dickson from making more of an impact was playing in the shadow of Greg Olsen. He has a chance to shine in Seattle.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Morgan Burnett, S
The Steelers needed to replace Mike Mitchell.
Baltimore Ravens
John Brown, WR
It's between Brown and Michael Crabtree. I'll go with Brown
Cleveland Browns
Damarious Randall, S
I've liked Randall since his Arizona State days.
Cincinnati Bengals
Cordy Glenn, T
The Bengals dropped back in the first round to get the tackle that they desperately needed.
New England Patriots
Jason McCourty, CB
The twins are back together.
New York Jets
Teddy Bridgewater, QB
The Jets are poised to take one of the top quarterbacks in the draft so Bridgewater's stay in New York could be short. I just want to see him get a legit shot.
Buffalo Bills
Star Lotulelei, DT
The Bills essentially swapped Marcel Dareus for Lotulelei. I'd take Lotulelei.
Miami Dolphins
Josh Sitton, G
It's tough to understand the Dolphins moves in recent offseasons but adding Sitton is a good one.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Andrew Norwell, WR
The Jaguars added the best guard on the market.
Houston Texans
Tyrann Mathieu, S
If Matthieu is completely recovered from injuries this could be one of the best signings of the offseason. Certainly the best bargain.
Tennessee Titans
Malcolm Butler, CB
If you can forget his strange benching in the Super Bowl Butler has been a terrific cornerback.
Indianapolis Colts
Eric Ebron, TE
If Ebron can play to the talent that made him the tenth pick in the 2014 NFL Draft the Colts might have found a gem.
Kansas City Chiefs
Kendall Fuller, CB
Fuller was an emerging corner for Washington. His addition made the subtraction of Marcus Peters a little easier.
Denver Broncos
Case Keenum, QB
Keenum was a lot of fun for the Vikings last season. It would be great if he can bring that fun to Denver.
Oakland Raiders
Jordy Nelson, WR
It's going to be really strange to see Nelson in something other than Packer green.
Los Angeles Chargers
Mike Pouncey, C
Pouncey is a little bit of a puzzle but he's a good football player.
