Free Agent Updates

Saints resign WR Devery Henderson. Here's another receiver with deep speed who has trouble catching the ball. He can be, at times, a great big play guy, and at others a complete disappointment. He's young, and I'm hoping he can turn a corner. 

Carolina signs CB Ricardo Colclough. A long-time backup with the Steelers and then the Browns, Colclough adds depth and special teams ability. 

Eagles signed DE Chris Clemons. He had 8 sacks a situational pass rusher with the Raiders last season and I'm sure Jim Johnson can get something out of him. The Eagles are quietly building up a stockpile of DEs that could rival the Giants'. Watch for them to be a big contender next season. 

Falcons signed both FS Eric Coleman and CB Von Hutchins. Both of these are very good and very quiet moves. Finding someone to start opposite Lawyer Milloy has long been a problem for the Falcons and Coleman was a great starter for the Jets for three out of his four seasons there. Hutchins is also an underrated nickel corner in the league who quietly makes some big plays. He could probably be upgraded to play #2 CB in a pinch.
