I'll go first. Love getting James Casey and Owen Daniels. Feel pretty confident that the two of them will far out produce the highest paid TE in the league, who now resides in Jacksonville.

Interesting. You may end up being right even if your TEs give you very little....or maybe not, health for that high price TE is the key IMO.

For the Seahawks, hard for me to decide, extending Lynch or trading for Graham. If they extend Wilson before the draft, that gets my vote.

Dumping 2 DB's that for $25 million, helped produce the 25th rated pass defense by comp %....
Sending the oldest DB salary to division rival to hamper their efforts to improve long-term.
Sitting patiently while division rivals spend money like a teenage girl at the mall with a credit card.....

Can't imagine that Wilson doesn't get a new deal. Getting Lynch back and acquiring Graham are both potentially huge.

He'll get a new deal, but to tell the truth, I not sure it happens this off season. Check out the Seahawks board on why.

Not re-signing Murray.

That's a tough call, in my opinion. He was badassed last season. I know that the Dallas o-line had a lot to do with that and that singing Murray presented cap trouble for Cowboys, but I'm not so sure that he is as easily replaceable as some might think. Interesting story this season.

Not re-signing Murray.

At the end and If it would have taken a deal like Philly gave him, then yes I agree. That would have been stupid. But, what if we could have signed him for less if we offered it up a month earlier?

For the Broncos I really liked the two DT/DE's that they brought in. Antonio Smith graded out as one of the best pass rushing DT's in the NFL last year and for the Broncos that was one of the biggest problems on defense is if Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware didn't get pressure there really wasn't a whole lot and especially down the middle it just was a major concern. Vance Walker presents a nice rotational piece that can play both NT and DE in our new 3-4 defense and graded out as one of the Chiefs best defensive players.

As it stands right now this gives the Broncos a very versatile group for the front-3 on defense. They now can have Austin/Jackson/Smith when they are more trying for the pass rush and Williams/Wolfe/Walker when they are needing to bulk up and stop the run. This is probably now one of the most versatile DL's I have ever seen the Broncos have.

I'm not convinced that he was worth even close to the money Philly gave him.
Then again, I'm notoriously tight.....

Wilson will get his deal.
Marshawn just wanted a raise and by being mercurial, he got his.
Getting JG is the big deal that will open Seattle's offense while The Seahawks remain a run 1st team.

I really don't believe Jerry wanted to re-sign him based on his history of injuries.

There is no clue what the result will be from all the moves. Some might be considered genious or disaster by season's end.

About the only one where there is some limited confidence in being judged the best move is signing Maxwell. And that says more about the disaster that was - and arguably still is - the Eagles' secondary than anything else.

Extending Bennett (3rd best pass rusher in the league according to PFF in 2014, 7th in 2013) for < $10M per year. Hell it was less than 8... 4 years $28.5M, just a little over $7M.

Don't care that it was over a year ago. That is by far the most ridiculous screw over any franchise has pulled on a player salary/bonus wise in NFL history.

Signing a potentially elite pass rusher in Greg Hardy. Gives the team much more flexibility at the draft.
