With about a month and a half left to the 2014 NFL season, we will take a look at some free agent moves that helped teams out and some moves that did not help.

The 2014 NFL season is about a month and a half from the end. It seems like yesterday that the Seattle Seahawks beat the Green Bay Packers to start the season.

As teams look to the end of the season, some are holding on to playoff dreams, while others are wondering what happened to their season.

The reason some teams are competing for the second season and other teams are just waiting for the season to end could be the same — their free agency moves.

Some teams hit the free agent market and made their teams over and are contenders. Others made critical mistakes and ended up with underperforming players with bad contracts.

We will go over the best and worst free agent signings of 2014. Is your team on this list?
