Combining a week free agency pool, a substantial salary cap increase, and desperate general managers has resulted in marginal players making Pro Bowler money after NFL Free Agency's first week. Here's a look at the top players who have signed with new teams so far. Several solid players, such as QB Matt Schaub, RB Corey Dillon, WR Kevin Curtis, TE Daniel Graham and WLB Cato June, among others -- are being heavily courted by new teams but have not signed new deals just yet. Important to note: Several, now perhaps most, of these write-ups have been copied verbatim from RotoWorld.com

1. Adalius Thomas, OLB, New England -- Baltimore loses one of the best members of its defense. Thomas, who starred in college at Southern Miss under Jeff Bower, gives the Patriots' defense an immediate boost. He supposedly signed for less money with the Patriots (5 years, $35 million with $20 million in guaranteed money) that he could have gotten from a team like the 49ers, who instead signed ... Thomas also opposes the Iraq War.
2. Nate Clements, CB, San Francisco -- The former Buffalo Bills corner received one of the biggest contracts in NFL history to join Mike Nolan's 49ers. He'll team up with former Mississippi State great Walt Harris to form one of the NFL's best cornerback tandems. But still, the guy is no Champ Bailey is there's no reason to expect the 49ers defense won't remain terrible in 2007.
3. Joey Porter, OLB, Miami -- Dolphins agreed to terms with LB Joey Porter on a five-year, $32 million contract. The deal includes a $12 million signing bonus, and $20 million in guaranteed money. He had 55 tackles, 7 sacks, and scored a touchdown on an interception return last year for Pittsburgh.
4. Patrick Kerney, DE, Seattle - Seahawks agreed to terms with Patrick Kerney, a UVA graduate, on a six-year, $39.5 million contract. The deal will guarantee him $19.5 million.
Kerney's 2006 season was cut short by a torn pectorals muscle but he'll instantly upgrade the Seahawks' front seven. Kerney, 30, probably is past his prime but was the focus of Seattle's efforts in free agency. The signing could make the Seahawks' other overpaid white defensive end Grant Wistrom, due $3.5 million in 2007, expendable to Seattle, or allow Wistrom to be more effective with limited snaps.
5. Eric Steinbach, G, Cleveland -- The Browns overpaid for this above-average offensive guard who has spent several seasons in Cincinnati. Steinbach goes from blocking for Carson Palmer and Rudi Johnson to Charlie Frye and Reuben Droughns, but as T.O's (former) publicist might say, "Eric has got 49 million reasons to sign with Cleveland."
6. Jeff Garcia, QB, Tampa Bay -- Old quarterbacks like Rich Gannon and Brad Johnson have worked for Jon Gruden in the past, so the Buccaneers head man gets another chance to win with a past-his-prime signal caller. Garcia showed some flash and fire in his one season in Philadelphia, and he should be a reliable stand-in while the team continues to search for Chris Simms's spleen.
7. London Fletcher, MLB, Washington -- Brent's distant cousin is a welcome addition for the defensive starved Redskins. Fletcher, liked Clements, played for the Buffalo Bills last season.
8. Daniel Graham, TE, Denver -- he Broncos and Daniel Graham have agreed to terms on a five-year, $30 million contract, with $15 million guaranteed. Of course Graham doesn't deserve a better deal than Antonio Gates and Todd Heap, but he is a perfect fit in Denver. The Broncos will use Graham's excellent blocking to bolster their running game and red zone offense. He has improved as a pass-catcher and should see his offensive numbers rise.
9. Travis Henry, RB, Denver -- Broncos signed RB Travis Henry to a five-year, $22.5 million contract. The deal includes $12 million in guaranteed money. Denver can turn any back into a star, so the money may be unnecessary. That said, Henry's strengths (decisiveness, blocking, and yards-after-contact) will play very well in Denver. While he'll probably face some competition from a rookie, Henry should be the overwhelming favorite to start, be the goal-line runner, and the next 1,300-yard Denver running back.
10. Leonard Davis, RT, Dallas -- Leonard Davis was part of The Buzzsaw's notoriously bad offensive line. But the former No.2 overall pick, who attended Texas, still received a deal reportedly to be worth $50 million. You have to give Jerry Jones credit. At least he is trying. The Dallas Cowboys offensive line was wretched last year. They might as well tried me and Andy Keuter on the offensive line, because no one else was getting it done.
11. Derrick Dockery, G, Buffalo -- Free agents will sign with Buffalo after all. Buffalo lured Dockery away from the Redskins with a big contract. He'll be a decent starter and a huge upgrade from what Buffalo had before.
12. Jamal Lewis, RB, Cleveland -- The length of the deal indicates Cleveland could still consider drafting Adrian Peterson. This is still a curious move by Browns GM Phil Savage, primarily because Lewis has averaged 3.47 yards per-carry the last two seasons since leaving jail. Lewis runs tentatively and has poor long speed. A shaky Browns offensive line won't help matters.
13. Ahman Green, RB, Houston -- Bolstering their case for the worst franchise in the NFL, the Texans inked mediocre Packers RB Ahman Green to a $24-million dollar contract. While Green is an improvement over Chris Taylor, UVA's Wali Lundy, and former Heisman Trophy winner Ron Dayne, he's probably not worth the money and they could have gotten an equally average runner like Travis Henry Jamal Lewis for less.
14. Luke Petitgout, LT, Tampa Bay -- Bucs agreed to terms with left tackle Luke Petitgout on a three year, $15 million contract. The deal includes a $3 million signing bonus.This is a high-risk signing for Tampa, but this one potentially has a high reward. Petitgout is one of the top run-blocking tackles in the league, and he won't have to protect the blind side if Chris Simms wins the starting job. He is coming off a broken leg and has a history of back troubles, so annual roster bonuses were built into the deal.
15. Ovie Mughelli, FB, Atlanta -- Falcons signed fullback Ovie Mughelli to a six-year, $18 million contract. The deal includes a $5 million signing bonus. This is the first step as Bobby Petrino installs a power-based running system in Atlanta. Mughelli is a punishing lead blocker and seemed to really develop as a receiver late in 2006, catching 20 passes from Week 10 on.
16. Tony Pashos, OT, Jacksonville -- Jaguars signed former Ravens T Tony Pashos to a five-year, $24 million contract. The deal included a $10 million signing bonus. Pashos is a solid NFL starter. He'll take over as Jacksonville's starter on the right side, as Jack Del Rio hinted he wanted better pass protection there. Former starter Maurice Williams will compete with Khalif Barnes on the left side.
17. Michael Lewis, S, San Francisco -- Not to be confused with the author of Moneyball, this former Philadelphia Eagles performer gives the 49ers another crucial addition to its secondary and puts them one step closer to a return to playoff glaaaawwwry ....
18. Drew Bennett, WR, St. Louis -- In one of the weakest wide receiver free agents markets in years, the Rams got possibly the best of the bunch, signing the former Tennessee Titans wide receiver to a 6-year, 30 million dollar deal and allows the franchise to fill its need for the token white wide receiver after Kevin Curtis filed for free agency.
19. Napoleon Harris, LB, Kansas City -- Chiefs signed MLB Napoleon Harris to a six-year contract. NFL.com's Adam Schefter reports the deal is worth $24.5, with $7.5 million guaranteed. Harris will reportedly get $13 million in the first three years. He'll replace Kawika Mitchell in the middle.
20. Wes Welker, WR/KR, New England -- The Patriots acquired Wes Welker for second and seventh-round draft picks in the 2007 draft. Welker was a restricted free agent before the trade. Welker provides the Patriots a versatile receiver who stands a good chance at starting. He'll also return punts. Don't be surprised if Welker's solid 2006 numbers improve.
21. Fred Smoot, CB, Washington -- Smoot is another Jackson native headed to DC this summer. The former Mississippi State cornerback once said 3/4ths of the world is covered by water, the rest is covered by Smoot. Well, Smoot didn't seem to quite cover the rest last season in Minnesota, but he's still an upgrade for Washington and is returning to familiar territory. Smoot's five-year contract with Washington is worth $21 million. It guarantees $7-8 million.
22. Damion McIntosh, LT, Kansas City -- No one will confuse McIntosh with Willie Roaf, but he's expected to keep Trent Green Damon Huard from getting decapitated next season.
23. Langston Walker, RT, Buffalo -- If anyone on the Raiders' woeful offensive line was in line for a pay raise, it was Walker, an excellent run-blocker.
24. Joe Horn, WR, Atlanta -- Joe Horn's groin has not been as solid as Joe Horn's mouth the last few years, but the verbose former New Orleans Saint will be an upgrade over Michael Jenkins and Roddy White in Atlanta and if healthy, could make the Saints regret releasing him
25. Kevin Carter, DE, Tampa Bay -- The Buccaneers signed the former University of Florida standout to a four-year, $25 million contract. The deal will pay Carter salaries of $5.2 million in 2007 and $5.8 million in 2008. Of all the wacky deals signed this off-season, this is the hardest to defend. Carter is a versatile and useful player, but his best days were behind him two teams ago.
26. Dewayne White, DE, Detroit -- Dewayne White played for Rob Marinelli in Tampa Bay. Detroit was desperate for a good defensive end. White isn't necessarily good, but he is serviceable.
27. Aubrayo Franklin, NT, San Francisco -- The 49ers signed Franklin to a three-year, $6 million contract. The deal includes a $3 million signing bonus. A fifth-round pick while now-Niners coach Mike Nolan was in Baltimore, Franklin is considered an aggressive, pure nose. He'll likely push Ronald Fields to start in training camp and, at worst, stay busy in the rotation.
28. Eric Johnson, TE, New Orleans - The only Yale graduate on the New Orleans Saints, Johnson gives Drew Brees a viable target at the tight end position. Like Joe Horn, if Johnson can stay healthy, expect him to be a productive addition for his new club.
29. Brad Johnson, QB, Dallas - A slow, aging pocket passer with a Super Bowl ring is brought in to replace a slow, aging pocket passer with a Super Bowl ring.
30. Brian Simmons, LB, New Orleans - Saints signed LB Brian Simmons to a three-year contract. New Orleans got away with signing journeymen linebackers last year, and now has added a proven vet to the mix. Simmons, 31, is a natural weak-side linebacker who spent last season in Cincinnati, could push Mark Simoneau in the middle if he's recovered from arthroscopic knee surgery in time for training camp.
31. Ashley Lelie, WR, 49ers -- Considering Alex Smith's inability to throw a good deep ball, it's a wonder why the 49ers would care to acquire a deep threat specialist like Lelie. But they got him for good money, and with the lack of options at wideout in San Francisco, Lelie could end up starting.
32. Kenyon Coleman, DE, New York Jets - Bill Parcells probably gave his buddies in the New York organization a good review of Coleman, who had four sacks last season as a reserve.
33. Montrae Holland, G, Denver -- The Broncos signed former Saints G Montrae Holland to a one-year, $1 million contract. The 6-2/322-pounder doesn't seem perfect for Denver's zone scheme at first glance, but apparently will push Chris Kuper at right guard.
34. Sammy Morris, RB, New England -- Morris, probably a familiar name for fantasy GMs who were desperate for a running back late last season, will take over Corey Dillon's spot as the No.2 running back in New England.
35. Danny Clark, OLB, Houston -- Clark, a former Jaguar, Raider and Saint, led Oakland in tackles in 2004 and 2005, but struggled last season in a reserve role after joining the New Orleans. The seven-year veteran had 29 tackles while appearing in 16 games. He'll be expected to play a greater role in Houston.
36. Patrick Ramsey, QB, Denver -- The Broncos signed QB Patrick Ramsey to a two-year, $4.5 million contract. The deal includes $1.5 million guaranteed. Mike Shanahan's old protege Gary Kubiak didn't act quickly enough, so Denver signed the former Tulane great and Ruston native to back up Jay Cutler. It's a great situation for Ramsey, who gets a fine QB teacher in Shanahan and a solid system should he ever get in the lineup due to injury.
37. Bobby Wade, WR, Minnesota -- Vikings signed former Titans WR Bobby Wade to a five-year, $15 million contract. "Wade can help on returns and is coming off a 33-catch season, but he has inconsistent hands at best. Minnesota should use him as their slot receiver and continue to add talent to the position this off-season." Meanwhile, Tennessee looks very thin at wide receiver (not Nicole Richie thin, but thin)
38. Tully Banta-Cain, OLB, San Francisco -- The 49ers signed former Patriots OLB Tully Banta-Cain to a three-year, $8.7 million contract. The deal included a $2.9 million signing bonus. Banta-Cain is great on special teams and can be an effective situational pass-rusher, but he barely played for three seasons and was benched in the AFC Championship for a reason - he doesn't hold up against the run. The contract totals indicate Banta-Cain will be a reserve, although he'll earn up to $12.25 million if he reaches certain milestones.
39. Andy Lee, P, Pittsburgh -- The six-year offer is worth $7.1 million, according to the Pittsburgh Press-Gazette. It includes a $1.66 million signing bonus. Lee is considered an up-and-coming punter in the league.
40. David Martin, TE, Miami -- David Martin's contract with Miami is for three years and $3.6 million. Martin got about $1 million to sign a very fair deal. This is a small gamble to take on a player who could probably more than replace the drop-prone Randy McMichael if he can somehow stay healthy for 16 games.
41. Patrick Chukwurah, DE, Tampa Bay -- The Bucs signed this former Bronco to a five-year, $5.5 million contract. Chukwurah, who had five sacks last year but is mostly a special teamer, gives the Bucs another undersized defensive end.
42. B.J. Askew, FB, Tampa Bay -- Askew played for Bucs assistant Paul Hackett in the New York Jets organization. Askew has intriguing all-around abilities but wants to be a full-time tailback. He'll take playing time from Mike Alstott in 2007.
43. Kenny Wright, CB, Cleveland - The Browns signed Wright, formerly of the Redskins, to a three-year contract. Wright didn't have a great season in Washington, but was solid for the Jaguars in 2005. Cleveland needs some depth and Wright can play the nickel.
44. Jeremy Newberry, C, Raiders -- The Raiders found someone willing to play for them! Newberry inked a one-year, $1.5 million contract. The former 49er will have to stay healthy enough to make the team in training camp, which is no guarantee.
45. Kyle Brady, TE, New England - While Brady never developed into the Hall of Fame player after joining the NFL from Penn State over a decade ago, he's a reliable blocker and an adequate replacement for Daniel Graham in New England. Brady played for the Hoodie in New York back in the mid 1990s, so he already knows the system.
46. Dennis Northcutt, WR, Jacksonville -- Northcutt joins an ever-expanding fleet of mediocre wide receivers in Jacksonville.
47. Visanthe Shiancoe, TE, Minnesota -- Apparently this was Jeremy Shockey's backup in New York and now will be a starter in Minnesota. Who knew?
48. Travis Minor, RB, St. Louis -- The Rams are hoping to find relief for Steven Jackson, but we hope they don't stop here. Minor can help out on third downs occasionally and special teams, but St. Louis is still looking for a backup.
49. Jason Whittle, G/C, Buffalo -- The Bills signed Whittle to a one-year, $720,000 contract with a $40,000 signing bonus. Whittle will provide quality depth at multiple positions on Buffalo's line.
50. Paul Smith, FB, Denver -- Smith signed a three-year contract. He began last season as the Rams' starter before losing his job due to injuries. Denver currently has five fullbacks on its active roster.
51. B.J. Sander, P. St. Louis - St. Louis might still bring back free agent Matt Turk, but Sander, a former third-round bust, is the lone punter on the Rams' roster currently.
