New England Patriots
Additions: Signed RB Leon Washington, WR Danny Amendola, WR Michael Jenkins, OT Will Svitek, DT Tommy Kelly, S Adrian Wilson; drafted OLB Jamie Collins, WR Aaron Dobson, CB Logan Ryan
Subtractions: RB Danny Woodhead, WR Brandon Lloyd, WR Wes Welker, TE Aaron Hernandez, G Donald Thomas, DT Kyle Love, DE Trevor Scott, S Patrick Chung
New England's offseason has been filled with drama, highlighted by Aaron Hernandez's murder charge, ruining the young man's career and leaving Rob Gronkowski a bigger role after many recent surgeries. Wes Welker was replaced with Danny Amendola at the slot, a very important position in head coach Bill Belichick's offense. Adrian Wilson is sure to be a good signing for New England, as the four-time All-Pro should be a good fit on defense.
Miami Dolphins
Additions: Signed WR Brandon Gibson, WR Mike Wallace, TE Dustin Keller, OT Tyson Clabo, G Lance Louis, DT Vaughn Martin, LB Dannell Ellerbe, OLB Phillip Wheeler, CB Brent Grimes; drafted DE Dion Jordan, CB Jamar Taylor, G Dallas Thomas, CB Will Davis, TE Dion Sims, RB Mike Gillislee
Subtractions: RB Reggie Bush, WR Davone Bess, TE Anthony Fasano, OT Jake Long, LB Karlos Dansby, OLB Kevin Burnett, CB Sean Smith
Overshadowing offensive losses that include Jake Long, Reggie Bush and Davone Bess, the Dolhins made headlines signing Mike Wallace, who was arguably the best receiver on the market. Wallace will be a great target for young quarterback Ryan Tannehill, whom Miami hopes will be a future star.
New York Jets
Additions: RB Mike Goodson, TE Kellen Winslow G/T Willie Colon, G Stephen Peterman, OLB Antwan Barnes, S Dawan Landry; traded for RB Chris Ivory; drafted CB Dee Milliner, DT Sheldon Richardson, QB Geno Smith, G Brian Winters
Subtractions: QB Tim Tebow, RB Shonn Greene, WR Chaz Schilens, TE Dustin Keller, OT Jason Smith, G Brandon Moore, G Matt Slauson, DE Mike DeVito, NT Sione Pouha, LB Bart Scott, CB Darrelle Revis, S Yeremiah Bell, S LaRon Landry, S Eric Smith
The loss of Darrelle Revis stings a team that has already had a real tough time of late, but first-round draft pick Dee Milliner seems to be a decent choice to fill his shoes. The subtraction of Tim Tebow will certainly create less media scrutiny, helping head Rex Ryan's team better focus on their task on the field, rather than off it.
Buffalo Bills
Additions: Signed QB Kevin Kolb, G Doug Legursky, DT Alan Branch; traded for OLB Jerry Hughes; drafted QB E.J. Manuel, WR Robert Woods, LB Kiko Alonso, WR Marquise Goodwin, S Duke Williams; hired head coach Doug Marrone, O.C. Nathaniel Hackett, D.C. Mike Pettine
Subtractions: QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB Tarvaris Jackson, WR Donald Jones, G Andy Levitre, DE Chris Kelsay, DE Shawne Merriman, DE Kyle Moore, LB Kelvin Sheppard, OLB Nick Barnett, S George Wilson
E.J. Manuel, the only passer selected in the first round, figures to be the future of this franchise. This seems like a good place to start, however the loss of Andy Levitre hurts this team's offensive line, necessary for a rookie QB (see Robert Griffin III).
