After bouncing around to several different teams in his first two years in the league, James Harrison signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2004 free agency. It took him three more years to finally find consistent playing time, but when he did, he became one of the most feared pass rushers of all-time. He was named the 2008 Defensive Player of the Year and also helped the Steelers win two Super Bowl rings.

#4 - RB James Conner, Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals signed James Conner prior to the 2021 season for almost nothing. They gave him just a $1.75 million contract for one year. He ended up having a huge season while helping the Cardinals make the playoffs. He recorded 1,127 total yards and 18 touchdowns on his way to being selected to the Pro Bowl.

#5 - DE Michael Bennett, Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks signed Michael Bennett to a one-year contract worth less than five million dollars during the 2013 NFL free agency period. He would go on to turn that into a successful five-year run with the team. He was the leading pass rusher for the famous Legion of Boom defense, helping the Seahawks win two NFC Championships and a Super Bowl ring.
