NFL Off-Season Guide #2

It's officially the off-season in the NFL, so in order to keep everyone up-to-date on all the transactions going on in the league, I present to you.....the Ultimate Football Blog's NFL Off-Season Guide!

Before we begin, just a few quick notes:

-NFL free agency doesn't start until March 10th, so teams that are signing guys at the moment are usually signing guys that they plan on bringing in for training camp and other small purposes only. These guys are not currently under contract in any way with another NFL team, so they are able to sign wherever they wish. Once March 10th hits, that's when this column will really become important and stacked.

-When you see the words "PFF Grade", that is in regard to the players grade given to them by ProFootballFocus.com. It's a pretty simple formula to follow. Negative points are not good and the more negative points you have, the worse the player is (for instance, a score of -20.4 means the player was absolutely AWFUL). Players without negative points are obviously good at their craft. See, I told you it was easy to understand.
