There are going to be names that dominate the discussion of this offseason's free agency period. DeSean Jackson, Aqib Talib and Darrelle Revis are all players who will get the headlines for commanding the most money in free agency and having the most talent. 

But, there were plenty of transactions that almost went unnoticed that in the long run, can end up paying bigger dividends than what the teams ever expected. 

5. Brandon Browner, CB, New England Patriots

The Patriots had the biggest move of free agency by signing Revis shortly after he was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Since they lost Talib to the Denver Broncos, the Pats wennt after Revis to be a No. 1 corner. 

But, their acquisition of Browner could end up being a huge value. Because Browner ended up being caught with a banned substance during his time in the CFL, he will reportedly have to sit out the first four games of the season. But as soon as he comes back, the tandem of Browner and Revis could easily be one of the best one-two defensive back punches in the league. 

In just three years in the league, Browner has 10 interceptions and three forced fumbles. Due to his substance issues with the league, Browner played in just eight games with the Seattle Seahawks last season, but he stilled helped the Seahawks become the best defense in the league. 

For just $2.95 million, Browner could end up being a top 10 corner in the league alongside Revis, a top five corner. 

4. Ben Tate, RB, Cleveland Browns

In a free agency period when the oft-injured Darren McFadden netted a one-year, $4 million contract and the untested Toby Gerhart got $3.5 million per year from the Jacksonville Jaguars, a $3.5 million per-year contract for Tate to the Browns is a huge value. 

For starters, it fills a huge need for the Browns. After trading Trent Richardson to the Indianapolis Colts only partially through last season, the Browns never got any sort of a running game going. Willis McGahee's age really showed, and other than McGahee, Cleveland only had Chris Ogbonnaya, Edwin Baker and Fozzy Whittaker. Ouch. 

Despite being behind Arian Foster for the first three years of his career, Tate has scored 10 touchdowns and averages 4.7 yards per carry. Tate will be an every-down guy for the Browns now for a very reasonable contract, and he will revel in the opportunity to be a No. 1 guy for a NFL team. 

3. Owen Daniels, TE, Baltimore Ravens

Talk about a signing that went unnoticed. Daniels left the mind of many football fans because he was out for most of last year, but this signing by the Ravens could really help Joe Flacco get back on tract. 

Daniels is only giving Baltimore a $1 million cap hit, yet is only one year removed from going for 716 yards and six touchdowns. He has reliable hands, and can be a No. 2 tight end behind stud Dennis Pitta. 

I got more in-depth on this in a separate piece, but Flacco will benefit from having two reliable tight ends. During the Ravens' Super Bowl run in 2012, Flacco completed over 62 percent of his passes in two-tight end sets, which was his highest completion percentage compared to any other combination of tight ends and wide recievers. 

Baltimore now has Torrey Smith and Steve Smith to stretch the field, which will open up Daniels and Pitta to work over the middle of the field. Daniels will get back to his numbers in 2012 when he was under Gary Kubiak, who is with the Ravens as offensive coordinator now, and it will only cost the Ravens $1 million.

2. Alterraun Verner, CB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

This contract isn't necessarily a huge value, but considering what other cornerbacks got this offseason, it was. Verner netted less than Talib, Revis, Vontae Davis and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie but could easily have a similar year to any of those guys. 

Verner is only 25 and still has plenty of time to grow, and the Bucs liked him so much they were comfortable with letting Revis go. New coach Lovie Smith is a defensive-minded guy, and Verner will fit in perfectly to Smith's scheme. 

In four years with the Tennessee Titans, Verner recorded 11 interceptions and five fumble recoveries, and defending 22 passes last year. The opposing quarterbacks that faced Verner also had a lower quarterback rating than the ones that faced Davis, Rodgers-Cromartie, Talib and Revis. 

This is a guy Tampa will be happy they signed before someone else could. 

1. Knowshon Moreno, RB, Miami Dolphins

Running backs have a decreased value in today's NFL, but you have to love this signing for the Dolphins for just $3 million for one year. 

Moreno will see this contract as his opportunity to prove to NFL teams that he is worthy of signing to a longer deal, after having a career year with the Broncos last season. However, his history of injury turned teams off from picking him up. 

Now in Miami, Moreno has plenty of opportunity to showcase his talents. Daniel Thomas and Lamar Miller are both underwhelming options to be a No. 1 back and Moreno will ge the majority of the caries as long as he can stay in the lineup. 

Even before Moreno was able to play under Peyton Manning in Denver, he averaged 4.8 yards per carry in 2011 and 4.3 in 2010. Despite being in the league for five years now, Moreno is still only 26 and just ran for 1,038 yards and 10 touchdowns. For just $3 million, the Dolphins would be happy with another 1,000-yard year and six touchdowns, which they will get as long as Moreno plays in at least 15 games.
