The 2014 NFL Free Agency brought some really good players from their previous team to their new team in order to resurrect their career or survive at least a year or two before call it quits. An example of that is Champ Bailey, a respected shutdown cornerback from Denver Broncos, got dumped by Broncos and hope to make a push for at least two years of his contract in his new team in New Orleans Saints that will make him team up with Drew Brees, Jimmy Graham, and newly acquired safety in Jairus Byrd. Saints and Broncos by the way, are two of the Super Bowl Favorites after the first wave of 2014 NFL Free Agency so let's where they stand around in Top 4 teams this off-season.
1. Seattle Seahawks - The reigning Super Bowl Champion brought back their free agent in Michael Bennett but eventually cut ties with Sidney Rice and Golden Tate. Seahawks still boast the best roster in spite of loses of some key players like Brandon Browner and Walter Thurmond, because their ability to find gems in later rounds of draft every single year makes them so completely dangerous in every aspect of their game.
2. Denver Broncos - John Elway and John Fox made big moves this off-season bringing perennial pro bowlers to their roster starting with T.J. Ward, DeMarcus Ware, Aqib Talib, and Emmanuel Sanders. Eric Decker role was filled by Sanders, DRC's with Talib, and good ol' Dumervil last season's shoe is now can be fill with Ware's productivity, and Ward will be an upgrade for the safety position. Overall, this newly acquired players could bring some confidence to Peyton Manning and Broncos Fans to keep believing that Elway and Fox will bring home the Lombardi Trophy for next seasons to come.
3. New England Patriots - Tom Brady's patience and time for another Super Bowl run could come close eventually if Bill Belichick and his staff could not bring any difference maker to this Patriots team. Bringing back Julian Edelman is a plus and replacing Aqib Talib with Darrelle Revis is an A+ move for Belichick even though his contract lasts for one year. Letting go of Brandon Spikes could hurt but retaining Vince Wilfork to his urging release in Patriots was now cool down and eventually gave him an extension to settle things down.
4. New Orleans Saints - Sean Payton and Drew Brees tandem is now back in full speed and that is evident to the chemistry they have in playing football games. This tandem attracts free agent superstars like Jairus Byrd and Champ Bailey to help them complete the puzzle in figuring out how to beat teams and win the Super Bowl for the second time for this franchise. Trading Darren Sproles to Eagles will hurt but bringing Jimmy Graham is their key move this off-season. Bringing back the best tight end in a football team makes them a perennial contender for the Super Bowl.
