Name Some NFL Free Agents Who Had Significant Impacts On Turning Their New Team Around

HacheMan · Aug 21, 2010

Whether the factors had to do with skill, leadership, or just plain coincidence, which players seemed to have an impact on helping turn their new NFL team around after signing on as free agents?

Seems like most dont pan out. Best are usually linemen like Gary Zimmerman or Reggie White. Steve Hutchinson was a great pickup.

Reggie White, Priest Holmes.

Worst ever: Scott Mitchell

LB Hardy Nickerson

First big free agent Tampa Bay landed in years when they signed him away from Pittsburgh and he was one of, if not the biggest factor in helping turn the Bucs around with that dominant Defense for so many years....

Curtis Martin, NYJ

You could argue that Parcells was the main reason for the turn-around, but Martin was a huge factor as well.

drew brees

After the Chargers refused to increase their offer, Brees met with other teams. The New Orleans Saints and the Miami Dolphins were interested. New Orleans made an offer that included $10 million in guaranteed money the first year and a $12 million option the second year. Miami was unsure if Brees' shoulder was completely healed and did not offer the money Brees was seeking. The Dolphins ended negotiations and traded for Minnesota Vikings QB Daunte Culpepper instead. Brees signed a 6-year, $60 million deal with the Saints on March 14, 2006.

jason cambell with the raiders

mark it down

TomGshotput · Aug 22, 2010

Rich Gannon is one of the best

Bad before he got there, Super Bowl with him, Detroit Lions level once he was done

Jstack34 · Aug 22, 2010

Randolph Moss helped turn around the Patriots offense, at least from a ground it out offense to a record setting passing attack

Oakland was very fun to watch that year. I remember a Sunday night game vs Pitt, where he had an insane about of completions in the 1st half.

Randolph Moss

a decent trade...

He was traded, 4th rounder I believe.

Jason Campbell was not a free agent.

1995 Deion Sanders, Cowboys
The Skinny: A star in two sports, football and baseball, Deon shrugged off talk of his retirement with the signing of a huge deal with the Cowboys. Sanders went on to have five stand-out seasons with Dallas, including one that gained him an additional SuperBowl ring.
The Green: Seven Years, $25 Million

Deion Sanders was a FA signed by Dallas I believe.

Forgot Moss was a trade

Deion Sanders signed by the Washington Redskins
