Welcome to Cyber Monday, which is a thing that exists in the year 2014. All the got us thinking ... Who were the best free-agent deals over the offseason? With a ton of help from Chris We seling's , here's a look:1. , wide receiver: Remember when Sanders struggled to get the free-agent contract he wanted? Sanders "settled" for a after spurning the ' same offer. He's now fourth in the league in receiving Tanner Muse Jersey yards and third in receptions at a fraction of the cost is generating in New York. 2. , running back: was probably fourth on the depth chart when the signed him in April. Now he's fourth in the NFL in yards. The Baltimore offensive line deserves credit, but Forsett also does a great job of making defenders mi s. All this for $730,000!3. , wide receiver: On the rare occasions in which has mi sed games in the past, the ' offense went in the tank. Tate didn't let that happen this year. Tate has almost single-handedly pulled the team back out. We highlighted Tate's in his midseason "Making the Leap Cedric Ogbuehi Jersey " roundup. Among the most sure-handed receivers in the league, Tate ranks in the top six in both receptions and yards. He's been one of the most valuable receivers in football, well worth the five-year, $31 million contract he signed in the offseason. 4. , safety: San Francisco e sentially swapped for Bethea, saving some money in the proce s. (Bethea is making just over $5 million per season from the .) Whitner is a quality player, but Bethea is a strong All- Dakoda Shepley Jersey Pro candidate as the best safety in football this season. 5. , pa s rusher: The signed for le s than half the money he was making in Chicago. While he's not quite at his prime playing level, Peppers has not fallen off much. He's been the most consistent pa s rusher on a team that includes , and Peppers has showed off his for good measure.6. , wide receiver:Smith's production has tailed off lately, but the 35-year-old is still on pace for 1,092 yards and seven scores. That's incredible production for a player due only $4.5 million this season.7. , cornerback: Yes, a Derrick Coleman Jersey one-year, $12 million contract can be a bargain. Revis has been among the best cornerbacks in the league since Week 4, keying a vastly improved secondary. 8. , tackle: Remember when the were the worst pa s-protecting team in the league? Veldheer, the former Oakland Raider, has changed all that with rock-solid play at left tackle. He was a great example of a huge free-agent need meeting up with a talented player in his prime.9. , cornerback: Given up for dead by most of the league after a miserable 2014 season, Cromartie has been one of the most valuable defenders at the bargain price of $3.25 million. 10. , wide receiver: We weren't even totally convinced LaFell would make the , but he's already reached a career high in yards and touchdowns. He's got a chance to top 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns this season as part of a three-year, $9 million contract. The latest Around The NFL Podcast and debates whether deserves the starting job.
