We're halfway through the 2018 NFL regular season http://www.brownsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-austin-seibert-jersey , and we now have an idea as to which teams will be Super Bowl/playoff contenders, and which ones are destined to disappoint us in 2018.We also have seen more than enough to determine which offseason free agent signings have panned out, and which ones have been major flops. some of the low-key and cheap signings have turned out to be major steals, while some of the most high-profile and expensive free agent acquisitions have simply flopped.The 2018 market was highlighted by a bundle of potential starting quarterbacks - Kirk Cousins, Sam Bradford and Case Keenum. Teddy Bridgewater, Josh McCown and Robert Griffin III also landed contracts, though none of them have wound up starting this season Trysten Hill Jersey , and they probably won't see the playing time they had hoped for.This year's market was also big for offensive linemen and wide receivers, and a handful of slightly above-average players got paid like they were Pro Bowlers. Unsurprisingly, the bulk of these signings have simply failed, and it shouldn't surprise anybody if some of them wind up being cut after this season.There are no more short sample sizes. We've seen more than enough from the top free agent signings of 2018 to determine if they've been successful or if they've been disappointments. And thanks to the wonderful people at Pro Football focus, we have the grade scales and data to determine if they've been of good value or not.Here are 10 free agent signings that have thrived, and 10 that have been major flops. LANDOVER, Md. (AP)Allowing 68 points over the past two games was just what the Washington Redskins’ defense needed to get fired up. Motivated after two consecutive efforts players called embarrassing, the Redskins kept the Arizona Cardinals out of the end zone in a 20-15 victory on Sunday. Linebacker Preston Smith and second-year defensive lineman Anthony Lanier led the defensive effort by bothering Arizona quarterback Blaine Gabbert with sacks http://www.cowboysauthorizedshops.com/authentic-connor-mcgovern-jersey , forced fumbles and interceptions.Article continues below ... ”We all were going extra hard because we were so disappointed,” said Lanier, who sacked Gabbert twice and batted down three passes. ”Everybody has been talking about it all year about how we have to come together. Today we came together and we overcame the odds of everybody thinking we were out of it.” Gabbert was 16 of 41 for 189 yards with the interception and a fumble he recovered himself in the fourth quarter. Arizona (6-8), which got all its points on field goals by Phil Dawson, went 0 for 6 in the red zone and 4 for 19 on third down as it was eliminated from playoff contention. ”It was just a game of missed opportunities,” Gabbert said. ”That falls on me. The lack of execution from me all day, that just can’t happen. We were inches away on a bunch of plays, but at the end of the day I have to make those. We have to score touchdowns in the red zone. We can’t come away with field goals like that.” Quarterback Kirk Cousins was 18 of 26 for 196 yards with touchdown passes to Jamison Crowder and new running back Kapri Bibbs as Washington (6-8) ended its two-game skid. Coach Jay Gruden said Cousins was fine after talking a few hard hits late. The Redskins’ defense delivered big hits on Gabbert all game long. Smith recovered Gabbert’s fumble and had an interception in what was a redemptive performance after losses to the Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams. ”The Dallas game and the L.A. game were both pretty darn bad defensively Tony Pollard Jersey ,” linebacker Ryan Kerrigan said. ”We didn’t hardly see their punter till the second half last week. This week was much-needed. Good on us for not allowing them in the end zone.” DRIVE FOR FIVE Dawson made all five of his field goal attempts, connecting from 40, 35, 19, 34 and 32 yards. Dawson has scored the Cardinals’ past 30 points going back to their Dec. 3 game against the Rams. ”That is a lot,” Dawson said. ”I didn’t realize that. But that’s life.” RECOVERED KICK Even though coach Bruce Arians didn’t call for an onside kick to start the second half, the Cardinals got the ball back in excellent field position. Dawson’s kickoff bounced deep in Washington territory and when no Redskins player fielded it, Budda Baker recovered at the 22. ”Uh Noah Fant Jersey , I mean, it’s not that good of odds,” Baker said. ”But Phil’s a great kicker, and that’s a great kick. So initially we were just going to lob it to the left and see if they catch it. But they didn’t catch it.” Gruden said special teams ace Niles Paul thought the ball would bounce to him, but went the other way. SACKMASTER JONES Arizona linebacker Chandler Jones earned his NFL-leading 15th sack of the season during the first half as he continued to make a case to be NFL Defensive Player of the Year. With two games remaining, he’s two shy of setting the franchise record for sacks in a season. INJURIES Cardinals: WR Brittan Golden broke his right arm on a punt return. … DL Robert Nkemdiche left with a wrist injury. … LB Karlos Dansby suffered a calf injury. … DL Josh Mauro was inactive with an ankle injury.

QUOTABLE Cardinals coach Bruce Arians: ”We’re not playing for the playoffs, we’re playing for each other.” Gruden: ”I never really want to use 8-8 as motivation.” UP NEXT Cardinals: Host the New York Giants next Sunday. Redskins: Host the Denver Broncos next Sunday. —
