NFL Off-Season Guide #3

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.

-"2014 playing grade" is pretty self-explanatory. It's the grade I'm personally giving the player based entirely on what they did on-the-field last season. Get it? Got it? Good.
