Armed with another $10 million or so to spend thanks to the increased salary cap, NFL teams dive into free agency on Tuesday. ''Free agency in and of itself is an overpayment situation,'' says former NFL executive Bill Polian, who built three Super Bowl teams and now is an analyst for ESPN and SiriusXM. Some situations teams are forced to deal with, and you have to bite the bullet and do it.' '' While Polian makes the point that the really elite players don't ever become available in free agency, the 2014 class is filled with former All-Pros and Pro Bowlers. They come in all sizes for all jobs, from pass rushers Jared Allen, Justin Tuck and Antonio Smith to running backs Maurice Jones-Drew and Willis McGahee.

McAdoo wants Giants to play solid, smart offense (The Associated Press)

Ben McAdoo plans to mix and match what he learned with the Green Bay Packers with parts of the Kevin Gilbride's playbook in coming up with a new offense for the New York Giants. Speaking with media on Thursday for the first time since being appointed as the Giants' offensive coordinator last month, McAdoo sounded similar to coach Tom Coughlin in stressing the importance of playing smart, tough and error-free football. The 36-year-old former Packers quarterback coach didn't lay out much of his offense, in large part because the Giants (7-9) have so many question marks heading into next season. Green Bay's offense was third in the league in yards a game (400.3) and tied for eighth in scoring (26.1 points).

Combine Takeaways: Bortles stating No. 1 case (The SportsXchange)

INDIANAPOLIS -- Central Florida's Blake Bortles took advantage of the spotlight provided with the other high profile quarterbacks opting not to compete at the Scouting Combine, impressing with his poise, accuracy and arm strength during passing drills Sunday. His stellar throwing session could help vault him into the No. 1 overall pick held by the Houston Texans. Unfortunately, the workouts weren't as impressive for some other high profile players, including Arizona running back Ka'Deem Carey, who was officially clocked at 4.70 seconds in the 40-yard dash. Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins provided some quantitative evidence of his explosiveness, running the 40-yard dash in 4.43 seconds at 6-feet-1, 211 pounds.
