Jets - QB Mike Vick 1-year/$5M
Patriots - CB Darrelle Revis 2-years/$32M
10) Colts - WR Hakeem Nicks 1-year/$3.5M - It wasn’t long ago that Hakeem Nicks was putting up back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons and 11 TDs in 2010. Nicks appeared destined to become one of the top WRs in the NFL, but injuries and inconsistency prevented him from reaching his full potential as a New York Giant. The 1-year deal is increasing in today’s NFL and the Colts hit one out of the park with Nicks. He will offer insurance to Reggie Wayne as he rehabs from injury with the potential as a long-term solution to the aging Wayne if he improves his consistency with Andrew Luck & Company.
