With the Pro football offseason getting close to an end and the NFL odds getting hotter and hotter – it’s time to start looking at some of the biggest offseason trades and cuts that will impact the league’s teams the most.
This year, he’s back together with Darrelle Revis, returning to the New York Jets on a four-year, $32 million deal. The hope is that the Jets’ defense will make it less necessary for the team to rely on quarterback Geno Smith to have to win games on his own. This is just one move in the AFC East that will make it one of the most intriguing in the league.

DeMarco Murray
Murray set a Dallas Cowboys franchise rushing yards record in 2014 and won the NFC Offensive Player of the Year award, but it wasn’t enough to get the contract that he thought he deserved from team owner Jerry Jones. It’s true that the Cowboys have an offensive line that makes holes that could help a lot of running backs prosper, and it’s also true that running backs with the sort of workload that Murray undertook often have a dropoff the next season.So the Cowboys didn’t pony up the huge extension…and Murray got on the phone with Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly. Kelly found the money to get the deal done, and now Murray is an Eagle. Will Murray run roughshod over the NFC again and take revenge on Dallas, or will his production drop off, either because of a lesser O-line in Philly or because of the effects of a hard season? It remains to be seen.Antonio Cromartie
In 2014, Cromartie was part of a stalwart passing defense in Arizona – a unit that helped the team out to a 9-1 record in its first ten games – and to win two of its last six games despite the need to start the team’s third-string quarterback in those games.
