NEW IN TOWN 10
who have changed teams
1. BRANDON MARSHALL (Giants)
A two-year, $11 million bargain desperate to play in his first playoff game and the perfect complement to Odell Beckham Jr. and big target Eli Manning craves.
2. BRANDIN COOKS (Patriots)
The blazing vertical threat, the most dangerous Tom Brady has had at his disposal since Randy Moss, who will open up the shorter and intermediate routes for Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski, and Dwayne Allen, too.
3. STEPHON GILMORE (Patriots)
Bill Belichick kills two birds with this one stone, prying him away from the Bills and landing a big cornerback not yet 27 to match up against the likes of Julio Jones, Mike Evans, Demaryius Thomas, Amari Cooper and former teammate Sammy Watkins.
4. ALSHON JEFFERY (Eagles)
Because of his injury history, he is on a one-year, $9.5 million show-me deal, but if he can stay on the field, he will be Carson Wentz’s go-to receiver.
5. MARTELLUS BENNETT (Packers)
The self-proclaimed “Black Unicorn” won a Super Bowl ring with Brady, and now he tries for another with Aaron Rodgers thanks to his three-year, $21 million contract.
6. JEREMY MACLIN (Ravens)
Joe Flacco desperately needed a replacement for retired Steve Smith, and the ex-Chief should return to his 1,000-yard form in the slot if healthy and earn his two-year, $11 million deal.
7. KEVIN ZEITLER (Browns)
The Bengals will miss the best guard in the game, who joins left tackle Joe Thomas on a formidable offensive line on a five-year, $60 million deal ($31.5 million guaranteed).
8. TERRELLE PRYOR (Redskins)
The freakish former Browns receiver enjoyed a 1,007-yard, four-TD season and was signed to a one-year, $8 million deal to help replace Pierre Garçon (and DeSean Jackson).
9. DONTARI POE (Falcons)
A bidding war ended when the ex-Chief 350-plus pound defensive tackle was signed to a oneyear, $8 million deal to upgrade a pedestrian run defense.
10. ADRIAN PETERSON (Saints)
No one is certain how much the artist formerly known as All Day has left at 32, but it will be intriguing to watch how Sean Payton will utilize his two-year, $7 million toy in tandem with Mark Ingram and rookie Alvin Kamara. Peterson’s first game as a Saint? “Monday Night Football” in Minnesota.
