At this point in the year, each NFL team knows -- Brian Dawkins Jersey for the most part -- what it will be working with as it moves toward finalizing its roster for the 2015 campaign. Coaches have been hired; free agents have been signed; prospects have been drafted.As the dust settles following a busy few months of transactions and acquisitions, what stands out as your favorite offseason move thus far? Loved the appeasing with . I know, I know -- extensions aren't typically headline-grabbers. But with Lynch, it's different. For starters, he's the best player on the , whether or not ends up making $100 million. Secondly, no one ever really knows how close he is to walking out the door. Why give him an excuse by underpaying him (per market value)? While I thought was a smart under-the-radar move -- -- it's not as impactful as Seattle having Lynch around longer. Travis Fulgham Jersey #BeastMode I like the wisely re-signing their own, crafting . After watching New Orleans and , Ingram looms as the centerpiece of an aggre sive, ground-heavy attack for the . When healthy, the former first-round pick looked as good as any runner in the NFL last season, showing great vision and punishing power. Pairing Ingram with free-agent acquisition gives the one of the most intriguing backfield combinations in the league. The ' from the was arguably the biggest splash of -- and could be the most impactful, as well. Graham will bring an entirely different dimension to a offense that is already tricky to defend. The mismatch nightmare will prove to be a major weapon for quarterback . The Graham acquisition also allowed Seattle to focus on other areas in the draft, as (Kansas State WR ) was devoted to a pa s catcher. Three moves stick out to me ... How about the rebuilding their cornerback position by bringing back a pair of old friends, and ? They went from having one of the worst CB situations in the NFL to one of the best. And the did well in swapping out for (... even if that wasn't quite the plan from the beginning). I think Murray is an upgrade over McCoy, particularly in Chip Kelly's north-south ground game.

Spiller was one of the NFL's most dynamic players in 2012, slashing defenses with his explosive lateral agility and 4.3 long speed. New Orleans is getting him at a discounted rate because his production suffered due to a 2013 high-ankle sprain, a 2014 broken collarbone and the failure of Doug Marrone's coaching staff to get him the ball in space. Sean Payton, on the other hand, has gotten the best out Brett Toth Jersey of playmaking "satellite" backs such as and . This is a match made in heaven. I really liked the signing special teams dynamo away from the . He's a sure-handed punt returner and kick returner, and he can make plays Alex Singleton Jersey in the pa sing game as a third or fourth receiver. In one move, the landed someone who can fill a bunch of roles. As a bonus, they pilfered a key piece -- Harris was probably Dallas' best special teams player last season -- away from an NFC East rival. from New Orleans stands out. Graham has been a machine the past four seasons, averaging 89 receptions and 12 touchdowns. His addition immediately shores up Seattle's pa sing attack, which wasn't that bad to begin with despite not having a true go-to receiver. Seattle also added wideout in the third round.
