In an introductory article, I explained the concept of texture to try to gain a better understanding on how an NFL roster is built. With this article, I will take a look at the texture of all 32 teams from 2014 so we can see some real life examples of what I have in mind. […]
Due to the fact that rosters will remain mostly static between now and the preseason, I thought that this would be a good time to provide an update as to the status of the players for whom we provided a 2015 expected outcome earlier in the offseason. As a reminder, we ran the Expected Contract […]

According to Joel Corry that is exactly what happened, as Tampa Bay paid Goldson $4 million before the trade occured in the form of a $4 […]
Rather than update the long posts from last week, I will just link to those previous posts and then list the contracts for which we obtained details over the past week. The pace of signings has clearly slowed significantly, and there are not many noteworthy free agents who remain unsigned. I am not going to […]
NOTE: Tomorrow (Thursday, March 19) at approximately 9:30-10:00 PM ET, I’ll be joining Jason on Twitter to answer any questions about the compensatory picks (either 2015 or 2016) for those who prefer to tweet. Any questions specific to that subject should be tweeted @nickkorte. Sometime during the NFL’s Annual Meeting next week (probably on Monday), […]
I’m jumping the gun a day early in adding in a few players for tracking the 2016 compensatory draft picks, but since the teams themselves have jumped the gun themselves in free agency (and caused the NFL to issue a strongly worded letter telling them how very, very angry it was), I figured it wouldn’t […]
