With the 2014 NFL Season some 50 days down the road we will take a look at the Ten Players that played in the 2014 Pro Bowl who have now changed teams for this upcoming NFL season. The ten player signed deals for a combined total of $128 million in guaranteed salaries. Some teams were willing to pay for the Pro Bowl selection and the Redskins opted for two.
The critical factor in the negotiating for a player who has played on another team is a risk as the player is with a different roster and playing a different scheme of football with the new team.
There is always risk involved when you pay a player for what he has done on another roster in another scheme, and now you are hoping your club gets a Pro Bowl season out of its new addition, and the teams keep their fingers crossed that all works well.
