NFL Off-Season Guide: #6

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! We are officially into the new NFL league year which means all transactions are finally legal and man, did we ever see a quick start to free agency or what? When 1 P.M. hit on Tuesday afternoon, the NFL was sent into a tailspin. We had trades galore (Jimmy Graham to Seahawks!?!? Haloti Ngata to Lions?!?!?!), free agents signing with unexpected teams (Maclin to KC?!?!), and NFL fans heads' exploding all over the United States, almost in unison. If you want proof that the NFL is the #1 sport in the United States, look no further than what happened on Tuesday. Absolutely bonkers.

Anyway, with all that happened this week, it's almost impossible to keep up with it all. That's why this column is here. Below, you will find every transaction made by every single NFL team this week. Why? Because I love you and I'm looking out for you.

Before we begin, just a quick note:

-"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.
