The 2025 NFL league year is underway with plenty of action as free agency officially kicks off.

With a flurry of moves continuing to come in courtesy of established insiders, there's almost too much for the average fan to keep track of. Fortunately for you, The 33rd Team is here with a full free agency tracker to grade all of the signings, trades, and top extensions for players returning to their respective teams.

Let's go ahead and dive into these grades as moves continue to come in.

All contract details are courtesy of NFL insiders via X.

Grading Every Free Agent Signing, Trade

Mekhi Becton signs with chargers

Grade: A

The Los Angeles Chargers get a massive upgrade to their offensive line by signing Mekhi Becton to a two-year deal.

Becton appears willing to stay inside at guard, where he took his game to a new level with the Philadelphia Eagles. That's a great landing spot for him to play alongside Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt, giving the Chargers one of the most physically imposing offensive lines in football.

Cooper Kupp signs with Seahawks

Grade: C-

The Seattle Seahawks are paying an awful lot of money to a player whose best years are more than likely behind him.

Cooper Kupp's separation ability has fallen off in recent years, yet the Seahawks were still willing to pay him a three-year, $45 million deal. On top of that being a lot of money for an aging veteran, it's also a bit redundant to sign a slot when they already have Jaxon Smith-Njigba already on their roster.

Kylen Granson signs with Eagles

Grade: B-

Kylen Granson lands with the defending Super Bowl champions on a one-year deal.

With Dallas Goedert reportedly on the trade block, Granson makes sense for the Philadelphia Eagles. He's a smaller tight end, but effective in the passing game and utilized in the slot, making him a decent backup plan in case the Eagles move on from their starting TE.

Dante Fowler signs with Cowboys

Grade: A

The Dallas Cowboys reunite with a pass-rushing mercenary in Dante Fowler, signing him to a one-year, $8 million contract.

Fowler is 30 years old, but continues to bring value as a dedicated pass rusher, generating 50 pressures and 10.5 sacks this past season for the Washington Commanders. He seems to have plenty left in the tank, and brings some nice value to play alongside Micah Parsons in 2025.

Nate Herbig signs with commanders

Grade: C

The Washington Commanders add depth to the interior of their offensive line by signing Nate Herbig to a one-year deal.

Herbig has only played 156 snaps over the last two seasons, but is a solid fill-in when called upon since coming into the league in 2019.

Marcus Epps signs with patriots

Grade: C+

Injuries cut Marcus Epps' season short in 2024, but he gets a one-year, $4.4 million deal to prove himself with the New England Patriots.

At 29 years old, the former Minnesota Vikings sixth-round pick has a chance to compete for a starting job at safety for a Patriots team looking to completely overhaul their defense.

Kareem hunt re-signs with chiefs

Grade: C+

Kareem Hunt might be immortal at this point.

The Kansas City Chiefs bring back the 29-year-old running back on a one-year, $2.5 million deal. He's not the flashiest player, but continues to play a key role in the Chiefs backfield.

Kendrick Green signs with bills

Grade: B-

While Kendrick Green hasn't been a starter the last couple of seasons, he'll make a find depth piece on the Buffalo Bills offensive line.

Jerry Tillery signs with Chiefs

Grade: B

After some brutal years earlier in his NFL career, Jerry Tillrey has turned things around the last couple of seasons. He gets a chance to play a key role with the Kansas City Chiefs on a one-year deal, playing on a strong defensive line where he could be a great value pickup.

Eric Wilson signs with Vikings

Grade: A-

Eric Wilson started his NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings, and now goes back to the franchise that took a chance on him.

Wilson spent the last couple of seasons with the Green Bay Packers, playing a key role on special teams with some solid flashes on defense. Assuming this is a cheap short-term deal, it's a great depth signing for the Vikings to get one of their former players.

Tim Patrick re-signs with lions

Grade: B+

The Detroit Lions announced that they are re-signing Tim Patrick.

Patrick is a big-bodied target who saw his first action last season since 2021. He'll likely continue to have a role in Detroit's offense after working his way into an outside role in 2025.

Bailey Zappe re-signs with chiefs

Grade: C

The Kansas City Chiefs bring back Bailey Zappe on a one-year deal.

It's a bit of a surprise to see the Chiefs add two veteran backups, but Zappe will likely serve as QB3 on a cheaper deal than Minshew.

Miles Sanders signs with cowboys

Grade: B-

The Dallas Cowboys continue to bring in veteran running backs for a committee approach, this time with a one-year deal for Miles Sanders.

Sanders and Javonte Williams both come in on one-year deals after disappointing 2024 seasons. There's still a chance the Cowboys take a rookie running back in the draft, but these two have potential to turn their careers around with a new team.

Kyle Allen signs with Lions

Grade: C

The Detroit Lions add a backup to Jared Goff by bringing in Kyle Allen.

Allen is definitely a quarterback.

taylor heinicke re-signs with chargers

Grade: C+

The Los Angeles Chargers bring back backup quarterback Taylor Heinicke on a one-year deal worth up to $6.25 million.

Stability at backup QB is important, and the Chargers keep a solid one who has had some decent experience as a fill-in starter over his career.

Laviska Shenault signs with Bills

Grade: C

The Buffalo Bills add a depth signing at receiver in Laviska Shenault, who will likely be a fill-in contributor, but will still need to earn a spot on the 53-man roster in training camp.

Olamide zaccheaus signs with bears

Grade: C+

The Chicago Bears add another slot receiver, signing Olamide Zaccheaus.

Keenan Allen is nearing retirement, so the move makes sense after Zaccheaus' career year in Washington. He's not a primary weapon, but should be a solid third or fourth option in the passing game.

K'lavon chaisson signs with patriots

Grade: B

Former LSU star K'Lavon Chaisson had the best year of his NFL in 2024, and the New England Patriots are hoping that momentum carries into 2025 on a one-year, $5 million deal.

The Patriots are banking on a solid rotational pass rusher, but the downside isn't that bad considering Chaisson is only on a one-year deal.

Gardner Minshew signs with Chiefs

Grade: A-

The Kansas City Chiefs have their QB2 for 2025, signing Gardner Minshew to a one-year deal.

Minshew has done an admirable job as a fill-in starter when being a backup, but struggled as the No. 1 guy. This is a great landing spot for him to sit behind one of the league's best QBs to try and make another run for a starting job in 2026.

adoree' jackson signs with eagles

Grade: B

The Philadelphia Eagles sign Adoree' Jackson to a one-year, $2.5 million deal.

With so many defensive departures, this is a solid move for the Eagles to add a steady presence in their secondary. Jackson isn't a ball-hawking star, but he's been consistently solid over his NFL career, and makes a nice depth signing.

Ben Skowronek re-signs with Steelers

Grade: B+

The Pittsburgh Steelers bring back Ben Skowronek on a one-year, $1.1 million deal.

While he's not a star wideout, Skowronek plays a very specific, physical role that teams covet in certain situations, so it's an awfully good deal for Pittsburgh to keep him in the building.

Ed INgram traded to texans

Vikings Grade: C+

Texans Grade: C-

The Houston Texans desperately needed some help in the trenches after trading away to offensive linemen in free agency. Ed Ingram should be able to help as a starting-caliber guard. While he's had his lumps over three NFL seasons, a fresh start could do him a lot of good.

Still, it's not the best solution to upgrading an already-struggling offensive line, regardless of the outgoing pick being a Day 3 selection in 2026. The Minnesota Vikings dump one of their struggling OL after upgrading up front for a draft pick, which feels like a small but noteworthy win.

Alexander Mattison signs with Dolphins

Grade: B

The Miami Dolphins find a Raheem Mostert replacement in Alexander Mattison, who signs a one-year deal.

Don't expect Mattison to be a featured back behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright, but he's a rock-solid veteran RB3.

Stone Smartt signs with Jets

Grade: C+

A quietly intriguing signing this free agent cycle, the New York Jets give tight end Stone Smartt a one-year deal.

Smartt has a solid season with the Los Angeles Chargers despite limited action, earning a solid 1.65 yards per route run while showing some effectiveness as a blocker. He could serve as a nice depth piece with upside for the rebuilding franchise.

da'shawn hand signs with chargers

Grade: B-

The Los Angeles Chargers get a promising rotational pice to their defensive line in the form of Da'Shawn Hand on a one-year, $3.35 million deal.

Hand is a reliable tackler in the trenches who can bring some run-stopping ability and occasional pass-rushing juice. It's a nice value for add in the trenches on a cheaper deal for an established player.

Harrison Bryant signs with Eagles

Grade: C

The Philadelphia Eagles get some tight end depth with a one-year, $2 million deal for Harrison Bryant, who will be fighting to make a 53-man roster spot as a backup.

Sheldon Day re-signs with Commanders

Grade: C

The Washington Commanders are bringing back another player on a one-year deal, this time with Sheldon Day.

While not a heavily featured player, Day brings some rotational depth to the defensive line.

Noah Brown re-signs with Commanders

Grade: B+

Unheralded wide receiver Noah Brown stays with the Washington Commanders on a one-year, $4.5 million contract.

Despite being a tertiary option in Washington's offense, Brown was still respectfully efficient in his opportunities, averaging a solid 1.63 yards per route run. He's still just 29 years old and will continue to be a solid rotational option in that receiving room on a cheaper deal.

Raheem Moster signs with Raiders

Grade: C+

The Las Vegas Raiders are giving Raheem Mostert a one-year deal.

The 32-year-old running back took a big step backwards in 2024 after leading the NFL in rushing touchdowns in 2023. He might not have much left in the tank, but brings a veteran presence to the Raiders' running back room, which could add a rookie in the draft.

Mason Rudolphs signs with steelers

Grade: B

The Pittsburgh Steelers are reuniting with Mason Rudolph on a two-year, $8 million deal.

As it currently stands, Rudolph would be Pittsburgh's starting quarterback. That's not the likely long-term plan, but at the very least the Steelers have a backup in place with familiarity with the franchise.

Isaac Yiadom signs with Saints

Grade: C+

Isaac Yiadom returns to the New Orleans Saints on a three-year deal, $9 million deal.

Yiadom played some of his best football of his NFL career in New Orleans, but the fact the Saints gave a fringe starter a three-year deal with their financial situation is shocking. He has a career passer rating allowed of 105.5 when targeted, and has 2,500 snaps played over seven seasons.

Still, at least it's a cheaper three-year deal with less than $5 million guaranteed.

Joshua Uche signs with Eagles

Grade: B

After losing so many defensive players this offseason, the Philadelphia Eagles bring some pass-rushing reinforcements in the form of Joshua Uche on a one-year deal.

Uche didn't get a lot of run last year, generating 14 pressures on 136 pass-rushing snaps. That's not a terrible rate for a rotational rusher, and should go up in a similar role with the talent around him in Philadelphia.

Anthony WAlker signs with Buccaneers

K.J. Britt signs with dolphins

Grades: C+

These two grades get lumped together because the deals happened at the same time for a pair of players who are literally swapping teams and taking over each other's roles. They're both established veterans with starting experience who will play rotational roles for their respective new teams on one-year deals.

Jack Stoll signs with Saints

Grade: C

The New Orleans Saints add some Juwan Johnson insurance by signing Jack Stoll to a one-year deal. He'll reunite with new head coach Kellen Moore while serving as a backup.

Jamin Davis signs with Jets

Grade: C

After being traded in the middle of the season last year, Jamin Davis finds a new home with the New York Jets.

Davis has made a switch from off-ball linebacker to EDGE recently, but only played in limited action for both Minnesota and Washington last year. It's unclear how the Jets plan to utilize the former first-round pick, but it's a decent flier on a one-year deal.

Neville Gallimore Signs with Colts

Grade: C

The Indianapolis Colts make a depth signing on their defensive line by signing Neville Gallimore to a one-year deal. The 28-year-old will provide depth, but likely not be a full-time starter up front.

Dalvin Tomlinson signs with Cardinals

Grade: B

The Arizona Cardinals address a defense needing an infusion of talent by paying big money to veteran DT Dalvin Tomlinson. He gets a two-year, $29 million deal.

That's a huge chunk of change, but the Cardinals are determined to add talent to a solid scheme. Tomlinson will provide a stable three-down presence capable of stopping the run and rushing the passer. That's a big addition to the middle of their defense.

Mac Jones signs with 49ers

Grade: A

Kyle Shanahan and Mac Jones finally get a chance to work together.

The San Francisco 49ers give Jones a two-year, $7 million deal to be an experienced backup behind Brock Purdy. With how poor the QB play looked when Purdy was out last season, the 49ers are hoping that Jones can bring a more stable presence in case of emergency.

Mike Williams signs with chargers

Grade: B+

Mike Williams reunites with the team that drafted him after being away for a few seasons, signing a one-year, $6 million contract.

Williams has struggled at other stops, but has a chance to be a legitimate contributor on a team looking for help at the wide receiver position.

Kyle Trask re-signs with buccaneers

Grade: C+

Kyle Trask stays with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a one-year, $2.8 million deal to stay as the backup for Baker Mayfield. It's a pretty standard deal, but allows Tampa Bay to explore other backup options in 2026.

Tylan Wallace re-signs with ravens

Grade: B+

The Baltimore Ravens retain wide receiver Tylan Wallace on a new deal.

Wallace had his best year as a pro in 2024, catching 13-of-15 targets for 241 yards and a touchdown. While he's not a key part of the offense, he stepped up when needed while playing a crucial special teams role. That's the kind of valuable player that the Ravens decided to reward, and deservedly so.

Cam Jordan re-Signs with Saints

Grade: A

Another franchise legend is lacing them up for at least one more year, with Cam Jordan re-signing with the New Orleans Saints.

Despite their cap situation, Jordan stays in New Orleans for his 15th NFL. Whenever he decides to retire, he'll sure have a place in the team's Ring of Honor as a three-time All-Pro and eight-time Pro Bowler.

Cam Sample re-signs with bengals

Grade: C

Cam Sample suffered a torn Achilles that caused him to miss the entire 2024 season, but the Cincinnati Bengals are bringing him back on a one-year deal in hopes that he can return to form as a rotational EDGE.

Harrison Smith re-signs with vikings

Grade: A

There will be a place in the Minnesota Vikings Ring of Honor for Harrison Smith once he retires, but he's giving it at least one more season with the franchise.

Even if he continues to take on a lesser role with Minnesota's defense, Smith's presence alone as a franchise legend is worth bringing him back on a one-year, $10.25 million.

Deatrich Wise signs with Commanders

Grade: C+

Injuries played a role in Deatrich Wise's lack of production in 2024, but he's hoping to turn that back around on a one-year, $5 million deal with the Washington Commanders.

Wise saw significant action over eight seasons with the New England Patriots. At the very least he'll provided a veteran presence in the locker room as a rotational player on the edge.

CAsey toohill signs with texans

Grade: C

The Houston Texans add a deep depth piece in EDGE Casey Toohill to a one-year deal.

Don't expect a major impact from Toohill on defense, but expect him to battle in training camp for a 53-man roster spot.

dre'mont jones signs with titans

Grade: A-

The Tennessee Titans bolster their pass rush with a Harold Landry replacement, signing Dre'Mont Jones to a one-year, $10 million deal.

Jones is still just 28 years old, and continues to be a consistent pass rusher on the edge. He has four straight seasons with at least 40 pressures, and should continue to provide value as a pass rusher for a team that needs some help on their defensive front.

Jonathan Jones signs with Commanders

Grade: A

The Washington Commanders land a key veteran addition to their secondary, securing Jonathan Jones on a one-year, $6.5 million deal.

The 31-year-old corner has spent his whole career with the New England Patriots, playing at a high level until this past season, allowing seven touchdowns with zero interceptions when targeted. The Commanders are hopeful that Jones will have a better season surrounded with more talent in Washington on a one-year, low-risk deal.

Rico Dowdle signs with Panthers

Grade: A-

The Carolina Panthers find a replacement to Miles Sanders in the form of Rico Dowdle, signing him to a one-year deal for up to $6.25 million.

Dowdle is a solid signing given his production in Dallas last year, rushing for for over 1,000 yards while catching 39 passes for another 249 yards and four total touchdowns last season. He should have plenty of opportunities to get touches in a committee with Chuba Hubbard.

L.J. Collier re-signs with Cardinals

Grade: C

A former first-round pick back in 2019, L.J. Collier stays with the Arizona Cardinals after agreeing to terms on a new contract for one year and $4 million.

Collier has never lived up to the first-round billing, but will play a rotational role on Arizona's defensive line.

Kevon Seymour re-signs with ravens

Grade: C

The Baltimore Ravens keep a long-time veteran in the building in Kevon Seymour. While he's not a starter or much of a rotational player, he's a respected veteran who will play a key role in Baltimore's locker room.

Josh Myers signs with Jets

Grade: A+

The New York Jets get a veteran center with plenty of starting experience, signing Josh Myers to a one-year, $3.5 million deal.

Myers reunites with his college quarterback in Justin Fields on a remarkably small deal for a player with his experience. It's a steal for the Jets and a signing that makes a lot of sense to bolster the interior of their offensive line.

AJ Dillon signs with Eagles

Grade: C

After being medically cleared, running back AJ Dillon signs a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The deal is most likely a one-year contract after Dillon's struggles prior to injury. He's a big-bodied power back, but balance and vision issues could hurt his ability to handle a larger workload beyond short-yardage situations.

Benjamin St-Juste signs with Chargers

Grade: C+

Benjamin St-Juste signs with the Los Angeles Chargers on a one-year deal.

He's a big-bodied corner at 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds with significant playing time over the last few seasons. Look for him to serve as a depth piece on a cheap deal who can compete for a starting job in training camp.

Isaiah Oliver re-signs with Jets

Grade: C

The New York Jets bring back Isaiah Oliver as a veteran depth piece to their secondary. No details were revealed about the contract, but it's a veteran presence on a talented secondary.

Kevin Zeitler signs with titans

Grade: A

It's a one-year, $9 million deal for Kevin Zeitler, who was arguably the best remaining free agent offensive lineman on the market.

Despite being 35 years old, Zeitler continued to be a steady presence at guard last season for the Detroit Lions. Expect him to immediately slot into a starting job for the Tennessee Titans on a good value deal for the franchise, which gets a recent Pro Bowler.

Khalil Herbert signs with Colts

Grade: B+

The Indianapolis Colts find a solid backup to Jonathan Taylor, signing Khalil Herbert to a one-year deal.

It was a down year for Herbert after being traded to the Cincinnati Bengals, but Herbert showed plenty of ability as a rotational running back with the Chicago Bears. He's 26 years old, and should be able to hold down some kind of backup role behind a workhorse like Taylor.

Kenneth Murray Jr. traded to cowboys

Cowboys Grade: C

Titans Grade: C

The Tennessee Titans and Dallas Cowboys swap late-round picks for linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr., who heads to Jerryworld.

Murray is a productive tackler and early-down contributor, but struggles mightily in coverage. Expect him to rotate in and compete with Dallas' younger off-ball linebackers.

Denzel Perryman re-signs with chargers

Grade: B+

Denzel Perryman runs it back with the Los Angeles Chargers on a one-year, $3.65 million deal.

One of the most experienced off-ball linebackers in the league continues in LA, where he will likely continue to get playing time as he nears the end of his career at 32 years old. He's a consistent veteran presence and a likely boost to the locker room on a cheap deal.

Demarcus Lawrence signs with seahawks

Grade: B

If healthy, the Seattle Seahawks are getting a steal with DeMarcus Lawrence.

The 32-year-old defensive end is a solid pass rusher and nearly top-tier run defender when healthy, playing with effort and technique. It's an awesome fit for Seattle to pair Lawrence with all of its young and talented pass rushers, but a three-year, $42 million contract is a lot of money to throw at a player who could start to decline with age sooner instead of later.

Darius Slay signs with Steelers

Grade: B-

The Pittsburgh Steelers sorely needed some secondary help, so they're taking a swing on an established star in Darius Slay.

It's a fully guaranteed one-year, $10 million deal for Slay. For as good as he is, that's a steep price for a player who could be the victim of serious age-related regression at 34 years old. Still, if healthy, he's a legitimate starter who can serve as a mentor to Joey Porter Jr. while boosting Pittsburgh's secondary.

Levi Onwuzurike re-signs with Lions

Grade: A

After a few days of waiting, Levi Onwuzurike returns to the Detroit Lions on a one-year, $5 million deal.

That's great value for a player who finally started to show off his full potential in 2024, generating 47 pressures and 20 defensive stops. He's a disruptive interior presence who will continue to play a key role up front for the Lions in 2025 on a great deal for Detroit.

Evan Engram signs with Broncos

Grade: A-

Tight end has widely been considered a likely first-round need for the Denver Broncos in the 2025 NFL Draft. The signing of Evan Engram might change that.

Engram gets a two-year deal with Denver after a disappointing final year in Jacksonville. Still, when at his best, Engram can serve as a volume slot tight end in the passing game to be a productive outlet for Bo Nix in his second NFL season.

Maliek Collins signs with Browns

Grade: B

The Cleveland Browns get even more pass-rush help with a sneaky-good signing for veteran DL Maliek Collins.

Collins will be 30 years old for the 2025 season, but continues to be an effective interior pass rusher, generating 45 pressures last season. He's an ideal pairing up front with Myles Garrett and Cleveland's other defenders to give them some extra disruptiveness on passing downs, even if it's on the more expensive side on a two-year, $20 million deal.

Jack Sanborn signs with Cowboys

Grade: A

Jack Sanborn is an underrated linebacker who was stuck behind two of the highest-paid ILBs in the NFL with the Chicago Bears. Now, he gets a chance to prove himself in 2025 with the Dallas Cowboys on a one-year deal.

Sanborn's tape shows an aggressive and fearless linebacker with some blitzing and coverage ability. He should be able to compete for a starting job, or at the very least a rotational spot on the Dallas defense while reuniting with Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus.

Eddie Goldman signs with Commanders

Grade: C-

The Washington Commanders are giving Eddie Goldman a one-year deal.

It's been years since Goldman's dominant stretch for the Chicago Bears, and at 31 years old, his best playing days seem well behind him. Don't expect him to have much of an impact with Washington after a negligible impact in 2024 for the Atlanta Falcons.

Kaiir Elam traded to the Cowboys

Bills Grade: C+

Cowboys Grade: C-

The Dallas Cowboys give up multiple Day 3 draft picks for Kaiir Elam, a former first-round pick who was struggled to be a reliable starting cornerback in the NFL.

While the move gives them CB depth, the Cowboys could have found that in the draft, and now they have fewer picks to work with upcoming drafts to add depth pieces at corner and other positions. As for the Buffalo Bills, they offload a struggling player for some draft capital in future seasons to continue adding depth in key areas.

Marcus Mariota re-signs with Commanders

Grade: B-

Marcus Mariota returns to the Washington Commanders on a one-year, $8 million deal.

Mariota makes a lot of sense as a backup to Jayden Daniels strictly off of play style. That feels like a lot of moeny for an aging veteran, however, but that's the price tag for backup quarterbacks nowadays with the increased salary cap.

Troy Dye re-signs with chargers

Grade: B-

The Los Angeles Chargers are bringing back linebacker Troy Dye on a two-year, $5.5 million deal after a solid 2024 season as a rotational LB.

Dye is a reliable tackler with a missed tackle rate of just 6.5 percent this past season. He wasn't asked to do a whole lot, but serves as a nice depth piece who can fill in when called upon.

Marquez Valdes-scantling signs with Seahawks

Grade: B

MVS finds his next home, this time signing with the Seattle Seahawks as a likely short-term DK Metcalf replacement.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling gets a one-year, $5.5 million deal to fill in as Seattle's vertical threat in 2025. He continued to generate explosive plays last season for the New Orleans Saints, and is quietly a nice stop-gap option as the Seahawks figure out how to rebuild their franchise going forward.

Darrick Forrest signs with Bills

Grade: C

It's a one-year deal for former Washington safety Darrick Forrest, who lands with the Buffalo Bills.

The Bills are having a busy 24 hours, this time adding a depth safety who has some rotational potential.

Mike Ford Signs with Falcons

Grade: C

The Atlanta Falcons sign a two-year, $4 million deal with backup cornerback Mike Ford.

Ford hasn't played more than 200 snaps in a season since his rookie year in 2018, so this is nothing more than a depth signing to bolster their cornerback room in case of emergency.

Greg Gaines re-signs with buccaneers

Grade: C+

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are giving Greg Gaines a one-year, $3.5 million deal to stay with the team.

A nice rotational big body in the middle of the defense, Gaines doesn't generate a ton of splash plays, but provides depth at a position where it's important to be two deep.

Damar Hamlin Re-signs with Bills

Grade: A+

There was nowhere else Damar Hamlin could have signed that would have felt right.

The Buffalo Bills get back one of their top free agents on a one-year deal. It was actually Hamlin's first year as a full-time starter in 2024, and he held his own with 62 total tackles, two interceptions, and five pass breakups. He'll have to earn his starting job again, but Bills fans will be thrilled to hear that Hamlin is staying put.

Justin strnad re-signs with Broncos

Grade: B-

The Denver Broncos retain a key special teams contributor in Justin Strnad on a one-year, $2.7 million contract.

Don't expect to see much of Strnad on defense, especially after the Broncos signed Dre Greenlaw, but special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi will be glad that the team is keeping such a key member of their "we-fense".

Van Jefferson signs with Titans

Grade: C

The Tennessee Titans take a flier on some receiver depth, signing Van Jefferson to a one-year, $2.5 million deal.

A former second-round pick, Jefferson has been waiting for his opportunity to be a reliable target again, but has been extremely inefficient the last two seasons, averaging 0.77 yards per route run in 2024 and 0.56 in 2023.

There's no guarantee that Jefferson makes the final roster, but the Titans receiver room is open enough to potentially make it a worthwhile signing.

Tyrel Dodson re-signs with dolphins

Grade: A

The Miami Dolphins are bringing back Tyrel Dodson, who they traded for before the deadline last year, on a two-year, $8.25 million deal.

On top of being a productive tackler, Dodson showed off legitimate coverage value in 2024, hauling in three interceptions while giving up zero touchdowns when targeted last season. He's still only 26 years old, and this deal allows him to continue to play a key role in Miami's defense while the Dolphins get a good deal for a starting-caliber player.

Larry Ogunjobi signs with Bills

Grade: B

After taking a big swing on Joey Bosa on Tuesday night, the Buffalo Bills followed it up on Wednesday morning with another big signing with Larry Ogunjobi, who gets a one-year, $8.3 million deal.

Ogunjobi has been a steady presence and a productive pass rusher as an interior defender, but that's still a sizable amount of money for a one-year deal. There might have been other more cost-effective option.

Roy Lopez signs with Lions

Grade: B+

The Detroit Lions find an interior defender to plug up rushing lanes, signing Roy Lopez to a one-year, $4.65 million deal.

That's good money for a solid rotational nose tackle. He's an ideal fit for what the Lions have built up front, and should hopefully help their run defense while providing some occasional pass-rush juice as an early-down defender.

Joey bosa signs with bills

Grade: A-

The departure of Von Miller meant that the Buffalo Bills needed another proven pass rusher, and they're banking on Joey Bosa to handle that role.

Bosa gets a one-year, $12.6 million deal to play for with a new team for the first time in his career. It's a fair deal for such a talented pass rusher, who generated 39 pressures on just 347 pass-rushing snaps this past season.

There's some risk with Bosa's extensive injury history, but a healthy version of the 29-year-old will bring legitimate value to Buffalo as they attempt to make a Super Bowl run.

Kenneth Gainwell signs with Steelers

Grade: C+

There was a void in the Pittsburgh Steelers backfield after losing Najee Harris, which Kenneth Gainwell is hoping to fill, at least for 2025.

Gainwell gets a one-year deal to prove himself after struggling to effectiveness as a backup with the Philadelphia Eagles last season, averaging just 3.8 yards per carry. He's been a useful back in previous seasons, however, and is still just 25 years old with the chance to play a key role in Pittsburgh's backfield this season.

Demarcus robinson signs with 49ers

Grade: B

The San Francisco 49ers could use some depth at outside receiver, and Demarcus Robinson is a pretty solid depth piece on a two-year, $9.5 million deal.

Robinson is coming off of a career year, catching 35 passes for 602 yards and seven touchdowns. He's not the most efficient receiver with a career 0.96 yards per route run, but he has a 200-plus pound frame to handle the physicality required to play on the outside.

Trent Sherfield signs with broncos

Grade: C+

The Denver Broncos have some promising young receivers to pair with Courtland Sutton, but lack depth at the position.

Trent Sherfield will provide some of that depth on a two-year, $8 million deal. He has a good frame at 6-foot-1 and 205 pounds, and has served in a backup role for a few other teams over the course of his seven-year NFL career.

Jason Pinnock signs with 49ers

Grade: C+

After losing Talanoa Hufanga in their secondary, the San Francisco 49ers are hopeful that Jason Pinnock can have some kind of impact on a fully-guaranteed one-year deal.

He'll have his work cut out for him against some younger safeties in the room, but could at least provide some rotational value.

Reggie Gilliam re-signs with Bills

Grade: A+

Fullbacks need to make a comeback with the way running backs are being valued again.

The Buffalo Bills bring Reggie Gilliam back on a one-year, $2 million deal to open up rushing lanes for James Cook and Ray Davis. It's an extremely cheap deal for a player that fills a very specific role for Buffalo, and that's enough to be a good signing.

Eric Stokes signs with Raiders

Grade: C-

Eric Stokes lands a one-year, $4 million deal to try and resurrect his NFL career with the Las Vegas Raiders.

After a strong rookie season, Stokes has struggled with injuries and production over the last few seasons. In fact, he hasn't registered an interception or pass breakup in 29 games over the last three seasons. The Raiders might have been able to get Stokes for a little cheaper, but there's still a chance he can turn it around as a starter for a new team.

Devin Bush re-signs with Browns

Grade: A

Devin Bush started playing some of the best football of his career at the tail end of last season for the Cleveland Browns, so they want to see if he can run that version of himself back in 2025.

It's only a one-year, $3.25 million deal for Bush to see if he has unlocked something in Cleveland to potentially earn an even bigger payday next offseason.

Xavier Woods Signs with Titans

Grade: B+

The Tennessee Titans sign one of the more reliable safeties of the last season in Xavier Woods, who gets a two-year, $10 million deal.

Woods played every snap for Carolina's defense last year. He'll turn 30 years old this season, but is a rock-solid and consistent option in Tennessee's secondary.

Deandre hopkins signs with ravens

Grade: B

The Baltimore Ravens land a big-bodied veteran receiver in DeAndre Hopkins on a one-year, $6 million deal.

Don't expect Hopkins to be a star in Baltimore's offense at 32 years old, but he at least provides some depth at a position the Ravens have struggled to get right over the years.

Ashtyn Davis signs with dolphins

Grade: A-

The Miami Dolphins get a good value of a signing in Ashtyn Davis, who signs a one-year, $2.5 million deal after a couple of strong seasons with the New York Jets.

Davis was a reliable rotational player in the Jets secondary, but could be asked to take on more responsibilities in Miami.

Ty Johnson re-signs with bills

Grade: C+

Ty Johnson lands a two-year deal back with the Buffalo Bills for $5 million.

He doesn't get a ton of touches in that backfield, but made the most of his 60 rushing attempts, averaging 5.0 yards per carry. James Cook and Ray Davis will still be the top two options in the backfield, but Johnson gets some security with a team he's spent the last two seasons with.

Coleman Shelton signs with rams

Grade: A-

Coleman Shelton reunites with his former team after a one-year pit stop with the Chicago Bears, signing a two-year deal to go back to the Los Angeles Rams.

Shelton was a solid center last season for Chicago, allowing three sacks but only 26 pressures with over 1,100 snaps played. He'll return to LA with scheme familiarity playing for Sean McVay, making this a solid signing for him to compete again for a starting job.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine signs with dolphins

Grade: B+

The Miami Dolphins find a big-bodied option at receiver, signing Nick Westbrook-Ikhine to a two-year, $6.5 million deal.

That's good value for a player that scored a career-high nine touchdowns in 2024, but that number is hard to replicate. He also wasn't the most efficient target, averaging just 1.14 yards per route run last season. Still the 6-foot-2 wideout could play a different role than what the rest of Miami's receivers currently on the roster can do.

Nick Niemann signs with Texans

Grade: B

The Houston Texans land a special teams ace in Nick Niemann, who signs a two-year, $6.5 million deal.

Houston was a top-10 special teams unit by DVOA last year, and Niemann adds some more juice to that unit while providing depth at linebacker.

Brady Christensen re-signs with panthers

Grade: A

Versatile offensive lineman Brady Christensen is coming back to the Carolina Panthers on a one-year deal worth just under $2.8 million.

Christensen has filled in admirably at tackle, guard, and center over his time in Carolina, and that kind of versatility can be hard to come by. It's a great depth signing, especially given the importance of competent OL play in the NFL.

Jacoby Brissett signs with Cardinals

Grade: B+

The Arizona Cardinals secure one of the best backup quarterbacks in the NFL, signing longtime veteran Jacoby Brissett.

With 53 career starts for Brissett and Kyler Murray's injury history, it's a logical landing spot for the veteran QB, and one that makes a lot of sense for both parties.

Johnny Hekker signs with Titans

Grade: B

If you're going to sign a punter, you might as well sign a really good one.

Four-time All-Pro Johnny Hekker heads to the Tennessee Titans on a one-year deal. He's nearing the end of his career at 35 years old, but can still flip the field and pin opponents inside the 20-yard line.

Robert Tonyan signs with Chiefs

Grade: C

The Kansas City Chiefs get some Travis Kelce insurance, signing journeyman veteran Robert Tonyan.

Tonyan had a breakout 2020 season with the Green Bay Packers, but has never been able to return to form after tearing his ACL in 2021. He played in five games last season but came away with zero catches.

Terms weren't immediately made available, but it's presumably on a short-term cheap deal for a player who hasn't been able to recapture that spark from 2020.

Justin Reid signs with Saints

Grade: C+

The salary cap does not exist in the eyes of the New Orleans Saints.

Justin Reid signs a three-year, $31.5 million deal that includes more than $22 million guaranteed. The 28-year-old was one of the top safeties on the market, and that's a fair deal in most circumstances. It just doesn't make sense that the Saints added a safety of all players to a team that's going to have to deal with all of these void years and restructures sooner than later.

Payton Turner signs with Cowboys

Grade: B+

The Dallas Cowboys replace a big-bodied EDGE in Chauncey Golston with another one on a short-term rental, signing Payton Turner to a one-year, $3 million deal.

Turner has been waiting for an opportunity to see a heavier workload, only playing 675 defensive snaps over four seasons. Dallas is a good place to do that, especially if he can show some run-stopping ability as a bigger-bodied EDGE.

Leonard Floyd signs with Falcons

Grade: B

Even at 32 years old, Leonard Floyd continues to find ways to get to the passer. He generated another 44 pressures in 2024, and hasn't had one season with fewer than 40 since 2019.

The Atlanta Falcons like that kind of consistency, bringing the former UGA and Georgia native in on a one-year, $10 million deal. That's solid value for a player who continues to put pressure on opposing quarterbacks, giving them a nice boost to their pass rush in 2025.

Dante Pettis re-signs with Saints

Grade: C

Dante Pettis has bounced all over the league, but stays with the New Orleans Saints on a one-year deal.

It's presumably a cheap veteran deal to keep a depth piece who could contribute in a pinch on the roster.

Mike Hughes re-signs with falcons

Grade: B-

The Atlanta Falcons bring back a starting cornerback from last year, giving Mike Hughes a three-year, $18 million deal.

That's a decent chunk of change for a veteran starter, but one who hasn't had an interception since the 2021 season. Still, he wasn't a liability in coverage last season, allowing just two touchdowns on 58 targets for an opposing passer rating of 98.7. That's not terrible for a No. 2 or No. 3 option at corner.

jeremy mcnichols re-signs with commanders

Grade: B+

While financial value wasn't disclosed, the Washington Commanders are bringing back Jeremy McNichols on a one-year deal.

After a long road back onto the field, McNichols looked like a valuable asset, averaging a strong 4.5 yards per carry with 3.47 yards after contact per attempt on 60 carries, finding the end zone five times. He's an older back with injury history, but that kind of comeback season should be rewarded, and the rest of the team will likely be thrilled to see McNichols get another stint in Washington.

Juwan Johnson re-signs with Saints

Grade: C

The New Orleans Saints continue to keep key contributors in house, this time giving a three-year, $30 million extension to tight end Juwan Johnson.

This is a probably a fair deal for an established veteran tight end, but the bigger question is why the Saints continue to throw money into veterans at luxury positions with their long-term cap situation. They continue to kick the can down the road with restructures and void years while struggling to field a competitive team.

One day that will end up being a huge issue for New Orleans, but right now they seem more than ok with handing out big contracts.

Anthony Nelson re-signs with buccaneers

Grade: B

After watching Joe Tryon-Shoyinka walk in free agency, Todd Bowles makes sure to keep one of his pass rushers by re-signing Nelson.

Nelson gets a two-year, $10 million deal after a career season that included a career-high 33 pressures to go along with four sacks. He's a 271-pound EDGE with size and length to him, making him a solid rotational piece with some versatility on a fair deal.

Kavontae Turpin re-signs with Cowboys

Grade: B+

The Dallas Cowboys awarded KaVontae Turpin with the largest deal for a special teams star in NFL history, giving him three years for $18 million.

On top of leading the NFL in kickoff return yards, Turpin also contributed with a solid 420 receiving yards and 2.06 yards per route run on offense. He's only 5-foot-9 and 153 pounds, but being able to contribute as a return specialist with some efficiency as a receiver makes this a solid signing, even if it's on the high end for a player in his role.

Joe Tryon-Shoyinka signs with Browns

Grade: A

Even with Myles Garrett coming back, the Cleveland Browns decided to bolster their pass rush with an interesting one-year flier.

Joe Tryon Shoyinka signs a one-year, $4.5 million deal to go to Cleveland. He's been a consistently productive pass rusher for Tampa Bay over the last few seasons, generating 15 sacks and 135 pressures over the last four years.

That's the kind of rotational pass rusher that seems like great value on such a cheap short-term deal.

Zay Jones re-signs with Cardinals

Grade: C-

Zay Jones was an afterthought in the Arizona Cardinals offense in 2024, but comes back to the franchise on a one-year, $4.4 million deal.

That's a pretty noticeable amount of money for a receiver who was only targeted 11 times in 2024 while also serving a five-game suspension during the season. That kind of money suggests the Cardinals have bigger plans for Jones in 2025, even if he stil sits behind a handful of weapons in Arizona's receiver room.

Mario Edwards re-signs with texans

Grade: A-

Interior pass rush was a need if Mario Edwards left in free agency, but the Houston Texans managed to keep him around for at least a couple more years.

Edwards signed a two-year, $9.5 million deal to stay in Houston after generating 33 pressures as a rotational piece on the defensive line. He's not a star three-down player, but he brings very clear value on passing downs, and will clean up with pressures and sacks when Houston's talented edge rushers can't get home.

Will Harris signs with commanders

Grade: B

The Washington Commanders let Jeremy Chinn walk in free agency, and found a logical replacement in Will Harris.

Harris gets a two-year, $8 million deal to compete for a starting job. He had a solid season for the New Orleans Saints in 2024, showing value in coverage and in run support. He's not a star, but for that kind of money, he's a good depth signing who could earn a starting spot.

Laken Tomlinson signs with Texans

Grade: A

The Houston Texans were starving for offensive line help after trading away Laremy Tunsil and Kenyon Green. Laken Tomlinson at least fills an urgent short-term need on a one-year, $4.25 million deal.

Kristian Fulton re-signs with chargers

Grade: B-

The Los Angeles Chargers keep one of their own in house, re-signing Kristian Fulton to a two-year, $20 million contract.

That's legit starter money for a player who held his own in his first year in Los Angeles. Still, Fulton allowed six touchdowns and a 111.4 passer rating when targeted this past season. The Chargers are banking on him to continue to get acclimated to their defensive scheme while building out the rest of the defense.

Riley Dixon signs with Buccaneers

Grade: B

Punter news! The Tampa Bay Buccaneers find their next punter by giving Riley Dixon a two-year deal worth up to $6 million.

The Buccaneers needed a punter, and the 31-year-old has been consistent throughout his NFL career. That's enough to warrant that kind of contract.

Daniel Jones signs with Colts

Grade: A

It might sound weird at first, but Daniel Jones is actually the perfect QB to compete with Anthony Richardson.

The Indianapolis Colts gave Jones a one-year, $14 million deal to compete with their former first-round QB, who has struggled with consistency and staying healthy. Jones is a big-bodied, mobile QB who can do a lot of the same things that Richardson can, even if he doesn't have the rocket arm strength.

His struggles in New York were brutal, but Jones now gets a real shot at competing for a starting spot, which is a win-win for the Colts. Either Jones has a resurgent second act in Indianapolis, or his presence pushes Richardson to reach his full potential.

C.J. Gardner-Johnson traded to Texans for Kenyon Green

Texans Grade: D+

Eagles Grade: C+

The Philadelphia Eagles are moving on from another defensive back, while the Houston Texans have traded away their second starting offensive lineman in two days.

C.J. Gardner-Johnson is a good player, but became expendable with the ascension of Cooper DeJean during his rookie season. The Eagles move up a round in a pick swap, going giving up a sixth-round pick for a fifth-round pick while getting some OL depth with a struggling former first-round pick in Kenyon Green.

While the Eagles get a reclamation project in the trenches, the Texans take another OL away from C.J. Stroud to get another safety despite already having Jimmie Ward and Calen Bullock under contract. It's a move that makes very little sense for their offense unless they have other moves coming up.

Solomon Thomas signs with Cowboys

Grade: C+

The Dallas Cowboys got wrecked in the trenches in 2024, so it makes sense that they're looking to add depth on the defensive line.

Solomon Thomas gets a two-year deal worth up to $8 million. A former top draft pick, he's an undersized DE capable of generating pressure on quarterbacks. He'll likely operate as a rotational backup on the defensive line.

Marco Wilson re-signs with Bengals

Grade: C-

The Cincinnati Bengals give cornerback Marco Wilson a one-year, $1.52 million deal to get him back into the building.

A deal that small doesn't guarantee Wilson a 53-man roster spot, and neither does his recent play. He had a decent 2022 season with three interceptions, but hasn't come away with an INT since, allowing six TDs in coverage when targeted over the last two years.

Still, with the Bengals trying to field a defensive roster, it's worth a flier to keep Wilson around to see if he can turn things around in 2025.

Will Fries signs with Vikings

Grade: A-

The Minnesota Vikings are having a busy Tuesday morning, adding another interior offensive lineman and teammate of new center Ryan Kelly by signing guard Will Fries.

Fries gets a four-year, $88 million deal that's a huge swing for the Vikings to continue upgrading their offensive line. He missed the majority of the 2024 season, but was playing some of his best football through the first five games. He's a rock-solid guard in pass protection who can do some work in the run game, making him a nice upgrade in Minnesota, even if it's a sizable contract.

Devine Diablo signs with Falcons

Grade: B-

The Atlanta Falcons have a real need at off-ball linebacker, and Divine Diablo might be able to help with that.

Diablo signed a two-year, $14 million deal with Atlanta on Tuesday morning after a disappointing final season with the Las Vegas Raiders. The best version of Diablo is a reliable tackler despite his 223-pound frame, and the Falcons are hoping to get that kind of impact player on a cheaper deal.

Ifeatu Melifonwu signs with dolphins

Grade: C+

Moments after their former starting safety, Jevon Holland, signed with the New York Giants, the Miami Dolphins found a cheaper flier at the position in Ifeatu Melifonwu.

It's a one-year, $4 million deal for Melifonwu, who only saw significant play time in 2023, but played at a solid level with three sacks and two interceptions. He's a plug-and-play safety when he's on the field and a worthwhile flier for a Dolphins team looking to replace Holland.

Jevon Holland signs with giants

Grade: A

It's clear that the New York Giants wanted to invest heavily in their secondary this offseason, and now they're coming away with one of the top cornerbacks and safeties on the open market.

Jevon Holland signed a three-year, $45 million deal to head to New York. He's still just 25 years old and is an immensely valuable safety who can play multiple roles as a reliable tackler and effective coverage playmaker.

Safeties aren't valued like they used to be, but this is a great fit to pair with Paulson Adebo, along with a young and hungry secondary.

Jonathan Allen signs with Vikings

Grade: B+

Two-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Jonathan Allen heads to the Minnesota Vikings on a three-year, $60 million contract.

The move makes a lot of sense for Brian Flores and his defense. Despite missing about half of the 2024 season, 26 pressures last season, including a crucial seven pressures in the team's upset playoff win over the Detroit Lions.

The Vikings are hoping that the 30-year-old can return to his 2022 form and are willing to pay big money to bet on that. It's a key move for a strong defensive unit, albeit it is a bit on the more expensive side.

Chauncey Golston signs with Giants

Grade: A-

The New York Giants keep loading up with pass rushers, this time taking a rival EDGE in Chauncey Golston.

Golston secures a three-year deal worth up to $19.5 million for a 27-year-old pass rusher coming off of his best season, generating 37 pressures and 30 defensive stops. He'll be surrounded by other pass-rushing talent that will allow him to keep doing his team on a reasonable deal for a team that is suddenly building out a well-rounded defensive roster.

Elandon Roberts signs with Raiders

Grade: A

This is a sneakily good move for the Las Vegas Raiders, provided Elandon Roberts still has something left in the tank. A one-year, $3 million deal for a linebacker who saw significant action in Pittsburgh and held his own over the last two seasons is excellent value as a rotational contributor on the Raiders' defense.

Josh Jones signs with ravens

Grade: B+

With Patrick Mekari signing in Jacksonville, the Baltimore Ravens needed another swing tackle, and found a promising one with Josh Jones on a one-year, $4.75 million deal.

It's the same deal that Rob Jones got in Dallas, but Jones has at least one season in 2022 where he filled in as a more than competent left tackle for the Arizona Cardinals.

Rob Jones signs with Cowboys

Grade: B-

The Dallas Cowboys find a depth piece on their offensive line by signing Rob Jones to a one-year deal worth up to $4.75 million. He'll likely have a chance to compete for one of the starting guard jobs and earn an extension with a strong year of play, but this is a low-risk move that makes a lot of sense for a team needing interior OL help after Zack Martin's retirement.

Lonnie Johnson Jr. signs with raiders

Grade: C

After signing Jeremy Chinn earlier in the day, the Las Vegas Raiders add more safety support in the former of Lonnie Johnson Jr.

The contract details weren't released at the time, but Johnson hopes to have more of an impact and stay healthy with an opportunity to compete for a starting job in Las Vegas.

Andre Cisco signs with Jets

Grade: B+

The New York Jets losing multiple safeties to free agency made the position a top priority this offseason. Fortunately, the Jets land a solid one in free agency with Andre Cisco leaving Jacksonville.

Cisco has been a solid part of Jacksonville's secondary, and a one-year deal in New York allows him to compete for a starting job and try to land a long-term deal again in 2026.

Byron Murphy re-signs with Vikings

Grade: A

After a breakout season with Brian Flores as his defensive coordinator, Byron Murphy is staying with the Minnesota Vikings.

The Vikings keep Murphy in the building on a three-year, $66 million deal that makes him one of the highest-paid cornerbacks in the NFL. That's deserved for Murphy, who allowed a passer rating of just 80.0 when targeted, with six interceptions and 14 pass breakups in 2024.

Flores keeps his top ball-hawking cornerback, and the Vikings ensure that they do not lose one of their best players in the process.

Najee Harris signs with Chargers

Grade: A-

With the Los Angeles Chargers moving on from J.K. Dobbins in free agency, Jim Harbaugh finally gets to coach Najee Harris, whom he was actively recruiting to come to Michigan back in the day.

Harris comes into LA on a one-year, $9.5 million deal. That's solid money for a starting running back, especially one who has managed to stay healthy throughout the first four years of his career as a workhorse back. They'll be hoping that he's an upgrade over Dobbins, and he likely will be behind what has become a very talented offensive line.

Chase Young Re-signs with saints

Grade: A

The New Orleans Saints managed to find a way to bring back one of their top free agents, Chase Young, their premier pass rusher.

Despite their financial situation, the Saints managed to give Young a three-year deal worth up to $51 million. It's a great value for a 25-year-old pass rusher who has had 140 pressures in the last two seasons and gives them at least one younger option to start building their defense around in the coming years.

Larry Borom signs with Dolphins

Grade: C+

Almost immediately after signing James Daniels, the Miami Dolphins added another depth piece on the offensive line in Larry Borom.

Borom has struggled as a fill-in starter with the Chicago Bears, but he's a logical backup swing tackle who can fill in when needed. He's also just 25 years old, so he has a chance to turn his career around with proper coaching and development in Miami.

James Daniels signs with dolphins

Grade: A-

The Miami Dolphins desperately needed help on their offensive line, particularly at guard. In a competitive market for offensive linemen, they found their guy in James Daniels, signing him to a three-year, $24 million deal.

A torn Achilles is a tough injury to come back from, but that's a fair market value for a veteran offensive lineman with plenty of starting experience.

Joseph Ossai re-signs with Bengals

Grade: B

The Cincinnati Bengals might be trading away Trey Hendrickson, so at least they were able to keep Joseph Ossai around.

Ossai isn't a big name, but he's a productive rotational pass rusher with 31 pressures this past season. A one-year, $7 million deal is good value for that kind of pass-rushing help for a Bengals defense that needs whatever it can get right now.

Jake Hansen re-signs with Texans

Grade: C+

The Houston Texans retain a key special teamer by signing Jake Hansen to a one-year deal worth just $1.7 million. It doesn't guarantee him a spot on the 53-man roster, but his contributions to the special teams units sure do.

Chris Board signs with giants

Grade: C+

A pair of depth signings in back-to-back moves for the Giants, this time with a two-year, $6 million deal for Chris Board. He's likely nothing more than a depth linebacker for them, but he will be a key contributor on special teams.

James Hudson III signs with Giants

Grade: C

A depth signing for the New York Giants, as they look to bolster their bench on the offensive line by signing James Hudson III. He won't turn many heads, but the Giants want to make sure they have more depth up front than they had last year.

Ashton Dulin Re-Signs with Colts

Grade: B

The Indianapolis Colts haven't asked Ashton Dulin to be a primary pass-catching target, but he's become such a key special teams contributor that they made sure to bring him back.

Dulin gets a two-year, $8.5 million deal to stay in Indy. When asked to be a receiver, he still averaged a solid 1.71 yards per route run in 2024. His 6-foot-1, 215-pound frame has enough juice to make him a great depth receiver with special teams value.

Dre Greenlaw signs with broncos

Grade: B+

The Denver Broncos are taking a calculated risk but landing perhaps the top off-ball linebacker to hit free agency, Dre Greenlaw.

A torn Achilles cost Greenlaw essentially the entire 2024 season, but the Broncos still gave him a three-year, $35 million contract. The risk that Greenlaw doesn't return to full form is a concern, but at 27 years old he should still be in the prime of his career.

Greenlaw is a productive linebacker when healthy, and fits well into an already-stacked Broncos defense.

Javonte Williams signs with Cowboys

Grade: A-

The Dallas Cowboys have been content with veteran running backs recently, but this one has a cheap price tag and a lot of potential.

Javonte Williams signs a one-year deal for just $3 million. He hasn't been the same player since his promising rookie season after a 2022 knee injury, but the deal allows him to potentially work into a backfield rotation while likely mentoring a rookie, with the Cowboys expected to take a top RB in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Akeem Davis-Gaither signs with cardinals

Grade: C

The Arizona Cardinals add a rotational linebacker in Akeem Davis-Gaither for a two-year, $11 million deal. That's about the going rate for a linebacker who will likely be a backup, but be given a chance to compete for a starting job.

Michael Hoecht signs with bills

Grade: B

The Buffalo Bills need EDGE depth after parting ways with Von Miller and were able to find good value for a replacement.

Michael Hoecht gets a three-year, $24 million in Buffalo, and it's a great fit for the team. Hoecht is a 310-pound defender who is a big-bodied EDGE who generated 30 pressures this past season. He's a unique body type out wide, but that fits well with what the Bills are trying to do up front.

Mack Hollins signs with patriots

Grade: A-

A journeyman veteran receiver finds his next home, with the New England Patriots agreeing to a two-year deal worth $8.4 million for Mack Hollins.

Hollins brings a different play style and a big-bodied presence to the Patriots receiver room. He's also making less than $5 million per year, so it won't stop New England from continuing to pursue other weapons for Drake Maye and the passing game.

Even if the Patriots draft and sign some extra weapons, Hollins should still play some kind of role because of his size and ability to push the field vertically.

Darius Slayton RE-Signs with Giants

Grade: C-

Darius Slayton's production has continued to slip over the last couple of seasons, but the New York Giants believe in his ability to bounce back in 2025.

That's going to require a new quarterback, however, because the numbers have been ugly. Slayton had a brutal 2024 season, catching just 39 of 70 targets, with just 1.08 yards per route run and a brutal drop rate of 15.2 percent.

The Giants are hopeful that he'll turn it around, but giving him a three-year, $36 million feels like a drastic overpay considering his struggles and the emergence of Malik Nabers as their clear No. 1 target.

Oren Burks signs with bengals

Grade: B+

This feels like a steal for the Cincinnati Bengals, who are desperate to find value in contracts as they hope to extend Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

Oren Burks comes to Cincinnati on a two-year, $5 million deal with an opportunity to be a starter. At the very least, he's a core special teams player who can fill in at ILB, and even that's great value for $2.5 million per year.

Ryan Kelly signs with Vikings

Grade: B

It's a two-year, $18 million deal for Ryan Kelly, who lands in an interesting spot with the Minnesota Vikings.

The Vikings get an upgrade on the interior of their offensive line, but the bigger question is who will play center between Kelly and Garrett Bradbury and who will be kicked out to guard. It's a bit of a funky fit, but someone should have no problem moving to guard to help bolster an offensive line that needs it.

Malik Harrison signs with STeelers

Grade: C

The Pittsburgh Steelers add a depth piece at linebacker in Malik Harrison on a two-year, $10 million deal. Not much to add to it, but it's fair value for a veteran who serves as a rotational player with the ability to be a spot starter.

Zach Wilson signs with Dolphins

Grade: C+

The Miami Dolphins needed some kind of viable backup plan in case Tua Tagovalia goes down again, and that will most likely be Zach Wilson in 2025.

It's only a one-year deal for Wilson, who has been unable to become a full-time starter again after flaming out with the New York Jets. Still, it might be his best chance at playing, while Miami gets a backup with some starting experience on a short-term deal.

Tershawn Wharton signs with panthers

Grade: B-

If you were wondering where the Carolina Panthers put the Milton Williams money, here's your answer.

After being unable to land Williams, the Panthers pivoted to Tershawn Wharton, a former undrafted free agent who found success as a productive interior rusher for the Kansas City Chiefs. He gets a three-year deal worth up to $54 million.

Despite that production, that's an awfully high price tag on a player who has only really had one full year of top-end production. Still, it's a key need for the Panthers that gets addressed as they continue to fill out their defense with free agents.

Darrell Taylor Signs with TExans

Grade: B

The Houston Texans get a one-year deal for pass rusher Darrell Taylor. The former second-round pick cut down on his missed tackles this past season while still generating 31 pressures in a rotational role. That's a great fit on a cheap deal for a player who doesn't have to do too much on an already elite defensive unit.

Charvarius Ward signs with Colts

Grade: A

Secondary has been a huge issue for the Indianapolis Colts in recent seasons, and general manager Chris Ballard seems done messing around with his secondary.

Along with signing Bynum earlier in the day, the Colts made a big splash by signing Charvarius Ward to a three-year deal worth up to $60 million with $35 million guaranteed.

Ward has experience with championship-caliber teams in the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs. He also has a career opposing passer rating of just 82.9 when targeted. He had a down year in 2024 but was a second-team All-Pro and Pro Bowler in 2023.

The Colts desperately needed an established No. 1 cornerback, and get exactly that on a pretty reasonable deal with Ward.

Josh Dobbs signs with Patriots

Grade: B

It's a two-year deal for Josh Dobbs and the New England Patriots. While the dollar amount has yet to be released, it's a smart move to add a journeyman veteran behind Drake Maye.

The bigger question is what this means for Joe Milton, who thrived in his one opportunity to see significant playing time in a win over the Buffalo Bills. He could end up being a trade piece in the coming days or weeks, or he could stay on the roster to also learn from a player with a high football IQ like Dobbs.

Kenny Pickett Traded to Browns for Dorian Thompson-Robinson

Eagles Grade: B-

Browns Grade: B-

In an uncommon trade, the Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns swapped backup quarterbacks.

The move actually seems quite reasonable for both sides. The Eagles get a fifth-round pick in the backup QB swap, while the Browns get a QB in Pickett who could realistically compete for a starting job, while Deshaun Watson is expected to miss the 2025 season with another Achilles injury.

It's not a ground-breaking trade, but it feels like really good value and a fair deal for two teams.

Cody Barton signs with Titans

Grade: B

Cody Barton lands a three-year, $21 million contract with the Tennessee Titans, and will likely play a key part in the middle of that defense.

Barton had a career year for the Denver Broncos before getting paid by Tennessee. He isn't a superstar at the ILB position, but he's a very reliable tackler with a missed tackle rate of just 6.0 percent over his career. He'll play a key role in generating defensive stops for a defense needing to get better at multiple positions.

Bobby Brown III signs with Panthers

Grade: C+

The Carolina Panthers agree to a three-year, $21 million deal with Bobby Brown III after being unable to land Milton Williams in free agency.

Brown isn't much of a pass rusher, generating just three pressures this past season. However, he's a solid run defender who rarely misses tackles, and as a 324-pound defensive tackle, he'll be an asset in plugging up rushing lanes for a rebuilding franchise.

Malcolm Koonce Re-signs with raiders

Grade: B+

The Las Vegas Raiders already lost Robert Spillane but managed to keep another promising defender, Malcolm Koonce, in the building on a one-year, $12 million deal.

Koonce missed the entire 2024 season with a knee injury, but was a huge part of their defense in 2023, racking up 52 pressures on only 344 pass-rushing snaps. If healthy, this could end up being a huge move to keep Koonce in Las Vegas, and a prove-it deal to allow him to get paid in 2026 if he can get back to producing this season.

Khyiris Tonga signs with Patriots

Grade: C

Mike Vrabel clearly wants a vastly improved defense for the New England Patriots in 2025, and he's getting exactly that with these moves in free agency.

Khyiris Tonga isn't a guarantee to make the 53-man roster after signing a one-year, $2.7 million deal, but it's an interesting addition as a 338-pound nose tackle to plug up rushing lanes on early downs. Time will tell if he's a good enough scheme fit to make it through training camp.

Nate Hobbs signs with Packers

Grade: C

Cornerback depth was a big need for the Green Bay Packers and could become an even bigger need if they end up parting ways with Jaire Alexander.

Nate Hobbs gets a way bigger deal than expected: a four-year, $48 million contract. There are only $16 million in guarantees, but the number comes as a surprise, given his production at the NFL level.

It's unclear if Hobbs will play on the outside or in the slot, but at 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds, he's now the biggest cornerback on the roster. The Packers needed to add some talent at the position, but the price tag for the player comes as a surprise.

Robert Hainsey signs with Jaguars

Grade: A-

The Jacksonville Jaguars stay busy, this time finding a good deal for what could be a terrific starting-caliber center on their offense.

Robert Hainsey missed most of 2024, but his peak came in a 2022 season where he allowed zero sacks on 800 pass-blocking snaps. If fully healthy, he could play a key role on Jacksonville's offensive line. Plus, for the Jaguars, it's only a three-year, $21 million deal, making it a worthwhile chance to take on a free agent.

Brandon Stephens signs with Jets

Grade: B

The New York Jets are banking on tapping into the potential of Brandon Stephens, who has shown flashes but struggled with consistency during his time with the Baltimore Ravens.

A three-year, $36 million deal for Stephens shows some level of faith that the former Ravens CB can replace D.J. Reed and play opposite of Sauce Gardner. Head coach Aaron Glenn will likely take a keen interest on getting the best out of the 27-year-old corner.

Donte Jackson signs with Chargers

Grade: C

Donte Jackson is a perfectly fine signing for the Los Angeles Chargers on a two-year, $13 million deal. He'll compete for a starting job in that secondary and serve as a veteran presence with some young defensive backs in that locker room.

Pat Jones II signs with Panthers

Grade: B-

The Carolina Panthers get a promising rotational pass rusher in Pat Jones II, signing him to a two-year, $20 million deal.

That's a bit on the expensive end for a backup EDGE, but he might end up being more than that in Carolina. He's still just 26 years old and has generated 56 pressures in the last two seasons as a rotational EDGE.

Laermy Tunsil Traded to Commanders

Texans Grade: D-

Commanders Grade: A-

The Washington Commanders take a huge swing with one of the biggest trades of the week, acquiring left tackle Laremy Tunsil from the Houston Texans. The trade sends a

Moving on from their elite left tackle makes very little sense for Houston. The Texans are actively trying to contend for a Super Bowl with an elite defense and a talented quarterback on a rookie deal. Instead of building around Tunsil to improve the OL, the Texans now have to completely rebuild the unit in order to keep Stroud upright.

The deal does send back multiple picks to Houston, but it's a brutal move to an already weak offensive line. As for the Commanders, they make another all-in move to protect Jayden Daniels with one of the best left tackles in football, putting them one step closer to being a top-tier contender in the NFC.

Jeremy Chinn signs with Raiders

Grade: B+

The Raiders lost Tre'von Moehrig to free agency, but find an awfully nice replacement for a fair deal.

Jeremy Chinn gets a two-year deal for $16 million. He's a versatile safety who can move all over the field and is a nice addition to slot in for Moehrig who can tackle, rush the quarterback, and play in coverage as a chess piece for their defense.

TJ Slaton signs with Bengals

Grade: B-

With a huge need for defensive talent, the Cincinnati Bengals bring in a stifling nose tackle in TJ Slaton on a two-year, $15 deal.

He's had some flashes at times with the Green Bay Packers, but the Bengals will need Slaton to take on an even larger role with all of their defensive needs. Still, that's a respectable offer for a proven veteran on the defensive front.

Roy Robertson-Harris Signs with Giants

Grade: B

A two-year, $15 million deal isn't going to break the bank for the New York Giants, who land a veteran interior pass rusher in Roy Robertson-Harris.

A solid depth signing for a team with some real impact pass rushers in the trenches. Robertson-Harris won't be the premier defensive star, but all of the attention that will go to other defenders could allow him to make some plays on passing downs in New York's defense.

Aaron Banks signs with the Packers

Grade: C+

The Green Bay Packers make a big swing on the offensive line money by throwing a bag at former San Francisco 49ers guard Aaron Banks.

The move makes sense from a scheme standpoint. The Packers became a heavy run team, but lacked a thick lineman like the 325-pound Banks to move bodies in the trenches. That's exactly what Banks can bring as a guard who also allowed just one sack in pass protection.

Still, that deal makes Banks one of the highest-paid guards in football, so he better be exactly what Green Bay was looking for in the trenches.

Grady Jarrett Signs with Bears

Grade: C

Grady Jarrett waited less than a day after being released from the Atlanta Falcons to find his next team.

The Chicago Bears continue investing in the trenches, this time giving Jarrett a three-year, $43.5 million deal with $28.5 million guaranteed.

While that may sound like an exciting splash move, that's too much money for a soon-to-be 32-year-old veteran who hasn't had the same kind of impact over the last few years that he had earlier in this career. Still, the Bears seem hellbent on building around their offensive and defensive lines, so it shouldn't be a surprise that they went after someone with Jarrett's resume.

Patrick Mekari signs with Jaguars

Grade: B+

As the Jacksonville Jaguars continue to overhaul their roster, they are investing in protecting their franchise quarterback by signing Patrick Mekari.

It's a reasonable three-year, $37.5 million deal for Mekari, who brings value as a versatile starting-caliber piece at both tackle and guard. That's a solid move for a Jaguars team that needs some depth up front to protect their No. 1 asset in Trevor Lawrence.

Luke Farrell signs with 49ers

Grade: C

Kyle Shanahan really wants to play 12 personnel apparently.

The San Francisco 49ers paid out big money to Luke Farrell, getting the former Jacksonville Jaguars tight end on a three-year deal worth up to over $20 million.

That's a lot of money for a backup TE, but one who will likely serve as an in-line option to block for Christian McCaffrey and operate in 12 personnel packages. Still, with so many other contract situations to deal with, it's a bit surprising to see the 49ers make a move like this one.

Josh Sweat signs with Cardinals

Grade: A+

The Arizona Cardinals have been starving for pass-rush help. Chandler Jones was the last pass rusher in Arizona to break 60 pressures, and that was all the way back in 2019.

Josh Sweat immediately fixes that, and the Cardinals still get good value on a four-year, $76.4 million deal. Landing an EDGE with 136 pressures over the last two seasons for less than $20 million a year on his deal is a massive win for a team trying to address its biggest need.

Josh Palmer signs with Bills

Grade: C

The Buffalo Bills aren't bringing back Amari Cooper, but are willing to pay an unproven commodity in Josh Palmer some serious money.

Palmer secures a three-year, $45 million deal to catch passes from Josh Allen. While there's been potential with Palmer, he's never had a 600-yard season in the NFL, but the Bills are still paying him $15 million a year to come in and potentially be a top target in their offense.

Instead of trying to draft a playmaker or look elsewhere in free agency, this move for Palmer feels a bit rich for a team with limited resources trying to make the right moves to be a legit Super Bowl contender in 2025 and beyond.

Talanoa Hufanga signs with Broncos

Grade: A-

When healthy, Talanoa Hufanga is one of the most disruptive safeties in the NFL, and the Denver Broncos are banking on that.

Hufanga gets a three-year, $45 million contract with $20 million in guarantees. A first-team All-Pro back in 2022, he's struggled to stay on the field since, playing just seven games this last season.

It's a bit of a risk on this contract, but the Broncos needed an impact safety, and Hufanga was easily the best available if he can stay healthy.

Dyami Brown signs with Jaguars

Grade: B

A surprising one-year deal for the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have been one of the busiest teams on the first day of free agency.

Dyami Brown gets a one-year, $10 million deal to be another key target for Trevor Lawrence in Liam Coen's offense. He won't be the premier target behind ascending young star Brian Thomas Jr. but he could play a key role in the passing game and lands with a new head coach coming in to turn the offense around.

It's a smart move for both sides. The Jaguars get another target for Lawrence, while Brown can re-enter the free-agent market in 2026 with a chance at a bigger payday next year.

Dayo Odeyingbo signs with bears

Grade: C+

Ryan Poles and the Chicago Bears continue their strategy of piling up players in the trenches this offseason, this time by signing Dayo Odeyingbo.

However, the Bears made a pretty costly acquisition, paying $48 million over three years to the unproven pass rusher. He can kick inside or play wide, but this past season, he only broke 30 pressures for the first time in his career and had only three sacks.

That being said, it was an awfully promising career year for Odeyingbo, who had 42 pressures. He just needs to find a way to turn those into sacks to make the Bears feel good about such a significant investment.

Cam Bynum signs with Colts

Grade: A

The Indianapolis Colts are on the board with a move that's a massive upgrade for a depleted secondary, signing a ball-hawking safety in Cam Bynum.

Bynum gets a four-year, $60 million deal from Indianapolis to work with their new defensive coordinator in Lou Anarumo. That's a terrific deal for a Colts defense that had very few answers to a secondary that lacked top-tier talent, getting someone who can take care of things over the top as a free safety.

It's good value and a great player for a Colts team that was in need of an offseason win.

Eric Murray signs with Jaguars

Grade: C+

After signing Jourdan Lewis to a market-setting contract for a nickel, the Jacksonville Jaguars double down on their secondary by giving Eric Murray a three-year deal worth $22.5 million.

At 31 years old, Murray brings a stable veteran presence to Jacksonville's secondary without breaking the bank. He'll have a good shot at competing for a starting job, but will at least play some kind of role in their secondary.

Sam Darnold signs with seahawks

Grade: A

The Seattle Seahawks get their guy, taking a huge swing on their next starting quarterback with Sam Darnold.

With the quarterback market exploding, getting a quarterback with Darnold's resume for around $33 million per year seems like good value. It ends up being a three-year, $100.5 million contract for the journeyman veteran QB.

The problem is that the Seahawks still need to surround Darnold with a competent offensive line while figuring out how to replace Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf as top offensive weapons.

Poona Ford signs with Rams

Grade: A-

It's a three-year, $30 million for Poona Ford, who is staying in Los Angeles, but this time for the Rams.

He had a strong bounce-back year with the Los Angeles Chargers, generating 25 pressures and 23 defensive stops this past season. He still has plenty left in the tank at 29 years old and gives the Rams a key veteran up front of defense to pair with all of their ascending young talent.

That seems like the perfect kind of veteran addition to help mentor players like Braden Fiske.

Tre'von moehrig signs with Panthers

Grade: B

The first big safety is off of the board, with the Carolina Panthers throwing big money at Tre'von Moehrig.

It's a three-year, $51 million deal for Moehrig, who had developed into a reliable starting safety for the Las Vegas Raiders over the past few seasons. The former second-round pick should be a nice box safety on a decent price tag for a Panthers defense that needed an infusion of talent.

Moehrig, and hopefully Milton Williams, should quickly turn around that side of the ball for Carolina.

Isaiah Rodgers signs with Vikings

Grade: B-

Isaiah Rodgers has never played a full-time role on defense, but he'll likely have a chance to do that after signing with the Minnesota Vikings.

This grade isn't as much about Rodgers' two-year, $15 million deal as it is about what it might mean for the Vikings' chances of bringing Byron Murphy back to the secondary. It doesn't guarantee that they won't try to work with Murphy, but that money suggests the Vikings might be comfortable seeing if Rodgers can handle being a full-time starter in Brian Flores' defense.

New York Jets cornerback D.J. Reed (4) reacts after sacking Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (7) during the first quarter at MetLife Stadium. Brad Penner-Imagn Images

D.J. Reed signs with Lions

Grade: A-

The Detroit Lions are replacing free agent cornerback Carlton Davis with another CB on the open market, signing D.J. Reed to a three-year, $48 million deal.

It's a fully guaranteed contract, which is a hefty price, but the right one for a defense that needed a second reliable starter. Reed is a smaller cornerback at 5-foot-9 on the outside, but he makes an ideal CB2 on the opposite side of Terrion Arnold, Detroit's first-round pick in the 2024 draft.

For a reliable starting cornerback, that's a more than fair deal.

Morgan Moses signs with Patriots

Grade: B+

With so many tackles who were set to hit the open market re-signing with their respective teams, the New England Patriots are opting to sign journeyman Morgan Moses to a sizeable deal.

It's a three-year, $24 million contract for a 34-year-old tackle that seems quite expensive on the surface. However, it's a fair deal for a player who can serve as a short-term starter, and Moses still played at a solid level in 2024 for the New York Jets, allowing just 16 pressures and two sacks.

There weren't a lot of awesome options at tackle for the Patriots, so at least they got someone with starting experience having to grossly overpay.

Milton Williams signs with Patriots

Grade: A

Plot twist! After initially appearing to be closing in on a deal with the Carolina Panthers, the New England Patriots have swooped in to acquire Milton Williams.

Using their war chest of cap space, the Patriots signed Williams to a $26 million per year deal that will make him one of the highest-paid defenders in the NFL. He's coming off of a strong year as a pass-rushing defensvive tackle opposite of Jalen Carter, and now gets a chance to show his worth as a key player on New England's defense.

It's been an unsurprisingly busy day for the Patriots, who land one of the top players on the FA market. It's an expensive deal, but the Patriots had to spend all this cap space somehow.

Detroit Lions cornerback Carlton Davis III (23) celebrates his teams win after the game against the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium. Matt Krohn-Imagn Images.

Carlton Davis signs with the Patriots

Grade: A-

The New England Patriots are signing Carlton Davis to a three-year, $60 million deal to be a starting cornerback opposite of Christian Gonzalez.

With so much money to spend in free agency, the Patriots are being aggressive and prioritizing their defense instead of the offensive line. Vrabel is a defensive-minded guy, and he gets a great CB2 option opposite of Gonzalez who is capable of making plays on the ball.

That's a more than fair deal for a cornerback at the top of the FA market, and is a huge upgrade in New England's secondary.

Dan Moore Jr. Signs with titans

Grade: B+

The Tennessee Titans had a disappointing season protecting Will Levis, but regardless of who plays quarterback next season, they'll at least have one upgrade in the trenches after signing Dan Moore Jr.

Moore is coming off a year where he allowed a career-high 12 sacks but also 41 pressures, which is a pretty surprising pressure-to-sack ratio. That should be cut down with his new team if the Titans can find another quarterback besides Levis.

It's an expensive deal for four years and $82 million in free agency, but Moore is still an upgrade over what Tennessee has at left tackle.

Paulson Adebo Signs with Giants

Grade: A+

The New York Giants make what might be one of the most underrated but valuable free-agent signings of Monday by bringing Paulson Adebo into the Big Apple.

Jonathan Jones from CBS Sports reported that the two sides were able to agree to a deal, although contract details weren't immediately released. Adebo suffered a broken leg that ended his 2024 season but has made it clear on social media that he's healthy and will be ready to go for training camp.

Adebo has been an ultra-productive corner the past two seasons, generating seven interceptions and 28 pass breakups. He's a great fit alongside some of New York's young cornerbacks like Deonte Banks and Dru Phillips.

Jimmy Garoppolo re-signs with RAms

Grade: C

The Los Angeles Rams made sure they had some quarterback depth by bringing Jimmy Garoppolo back on a one-year deal.

Garoppolo was a solid starter at the peak of his NFL career and has the experience and comfort in Sean McVay's system to fill in if something were to happen to Matthew Stafford. He's not going to be a star again, but it's a smart move to keep a backup around who knows what he's doing in the scheme.

$11 million is a lot for a backup QB, but there are few better backup options than Jimmy G.

Jourdan Lewis signs with Jaguars

Grade: B-

The Darnell Savage experiment in Jacksonville appears to be over.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are making Jourdan Lewis the highest-paid nickel in the NFL. He's been a stable presence for the Dallas Cowboys since 2017, and will now have a chance with a new team on a record-breaking deal.

The exact details of Lewis' contract weren't immediately available, but top-of-market money is a bit of a surprise for a solid but not-star veteran. Still, new general manager Jeff Gladstone addressed a clear need for Jacksonville.

Robert Spillane signs with patriots

Grade: A

Mike Vrabel gets a guy that will instantly fit his culture for the New England Patriots by signing veteran linebacker Robert Spillane.

A former UDFA in 2018, Spillane has turned into a legitimate starting ILB over the last two seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders. He racked up 158 total tackles with a missed tackle rate of just 6.0 percent, making him a key part of New England's depleted defensive roster to handle the middle of everything.

ESPN's Jeremy Folwer reported live that it was a three-year, $37 millon deal for Spillane, giving him respectable money for such a solid inside linebacker.

New York Jets defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (54) reacts during the third quarter against the Indianapolis Colts at MetLife Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images

Javon Kinlaw Signs with Commanders

Grade: D+

The Commanders had a lot of money to spend in free agency, but this one is a bit of a surprise with how much they're willing to pay Javon Kinlaw.

The former first-round pick didn't work out in San Francisco before moving to the New York Jets, where he's been a decent but not great addition to their defensive line. Still, he's generated 65 pressures over the last two seasons, and with Jonathan Allen likely signing elsewhere in free agency, the Commanders needed some kind of help in the trenches.

Kinlaw gets a huge payday, but the Commanders might have been better off waiting for help through the draft to use that money on a free agent at another position.

Grade: A-

Trey Hendrickson is actively seeking a trade, but the Cincinnati Bengals were still interested in keeping another of their defensive playmakers up front by re-signing B.J. Hill.

Hill is signing a three-year, $33 million deal to stay in Cincinnati, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. While he hasn't been a star on the Bengals' defense, he's been rock solid over the last few seasons, including generating 32 pressures and 29 defensive stops this past season.

It's a solid deal for a strong starter up front, especially for a defense that needs to retain some key talent going into 2025.

Elijah Mitchell signs with Chiefs

Grade: C+

The Kansas City Chiefs have a clear need for some running back help, even if Isiah Pacheco can get back to 100 percent in 2025.

Elijah Mitchell makes sense as a depth signing a on a cheap one-year deal. He's not going to see a ton of carries unless injuries pile up, and the Chiefs will likely bury him on the depth chart if they take an RB in this year's draft. Still, it's nice to have a backup plan in place.

Braxton Berrios Signs with Texans

Grade: C+

The Houston Texans are signing Braxton Berrios to a one-year, $2 million deal, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter live on ESPN.

It's not a bank-breaking move, but a small one for a receiver who has some success around the league. With how depleted the WR move was for Houston last season, a depth signing like this makes a lot of sense, even if it won't have a huge impact on their season.

Drew Dalman Signs with Bears

Grade: B

The Chicago Bears have made it clear that they want to spend this offseason rebuilding their offensive line to protect Caleb Williams. That trend continued at the start of free agency on Monday.

Drew Dalman, the top center on the open market, signed a three-year, $42 million deal, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. There weren't a lot of centers on the market with starting-caliber potential, but Dalman is an experienced starter who has allowed just four sacks over four seasons.

That's a lot of money to spend on a center, but it's clear what the Bears are trying to do this offseason.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (14) celebrates his touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles during the second half at Raymond James Stadium. Kim Klement Neitzel-USA TODAY Sports

Chris Godwin Re-signs with Buccaneers

Grade: A

It's three years and $66 million for Chris Godwin to come back to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

That extension keeps Godwin in Tampa Bay alongside an established No. 1 in Mike Evans, continuing to give the Buccaneers one of the best wide receiver duos in the NFL. That, alongside the emergence of rookie Jalen McMillan this past season, will allow quarterback Baker Mayfield to continue airing it out for the foreseeable future.

That's a huge win for a team that's losing an innovative offensive coordinator in Liam Coen, because at least they're keeping they're talent in house.

Jaylon moore signs with Chiefs

Grade: C

The Kansas City Chiefs needed to load up on offensive line help to protect Patrick Mahomes. It's just a bit of a surprise that they're willing to shell out so much money for an unknown commodity like Jaylon Moore.

A backup left tackle for the San Francisco 49ers, Moore is now signing a two-year, $30 million contract with over $21 million guaranteed. That's starting-caliber money for a player we know very little about, and has only played 831 offensive snaps over the last four seasons.

Maybe the Chiefs know something the rest of us don't, but that's a lot of money for someone who was previously a backup LT.

Haason Reddick Signs with Buccaneers

Grade: B+

After the Haason Reddick situation got ugly with the New York Jets, the veteran pass rusher is now signing a one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

It's a worthwhile flier on a guy for Tampa Bay, who was just outside of the top 10 in pass rush win rate. If things work out, Tampa Bay can look into a more long-term extension, but now they have another guy that can get after the quarterback on a very solid defensive unit.

Khalil Mack re-signs with Chargers

Grade: A

Shortly after parting ways with Joey Bosa, the Los Angeles Chargers have decided to bring back Khalil Mack on a fully-guaranteed one-year, $18 million deal.

That's a lot of money for an aging 34-year-old pass rusher, who saw a sharp decline in his pass-rush productivity in 2024. That's all relative, however, because the Chargers had plenty of cap space to work with, and Mack's "decline" last season was still generating 52 pressures with six sacks and a pair of forced fumbles.

The return of (the) Mack gives the Chargers a No. 1 pass-rushing option while they continue to get younger on defense, with the chance to bring in a successor to the future Hall of Famer in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn (8) runs on to the field before the game at Bank of America Stadium. Bob Donnan-Imagn Images.

Jaycee Horn signs extension with Panthers

Grade: A-

For a team that has had some dark years, the Carolina Panthers wanted to make sure that one of their most promising young players would stay with them for the long haul.

Jaycee Horn gets a four-year, $100 million extension that makes him the highest-paid DB in NFL history. It's a huge move for the Panthers that lets them keep their CB1, who had some really strong years earlier in his career.

There's some concern that this deal might backfire given Horn's drop in production in 2024, but at just 24 years old, there's plenty of reasons to believe that he'll get back to playing like a top-tier cornerback for the next few years.

Davon godchaux traded to saints

Patriots Grade: C+

Saints Grade: C-

The New Orleans Saints are in cap hell, but that didn't stop them from trading a seventh-round pick for an average defensive lineman with two years left on his deal.

Davon Godchaux is an established NFL veteran, but not the kind of needle mover that would warrant taking on the remaining two years of his deal with how messy New Orleans' long-term cap situation looks. For the New England Patriots, they're able to get a draft pick while taking Godchaux's deal off of their books.

It's not a blockbuster move, but a bit surprising considering New Orleans' financial situation.

Sheldon Rankins signs with Texans

Grade: B

The Houston Texans are reuniting with Sheldon Rankins after a one-year hiatus while he was with the Cincinnati Bengals. While he's on the other side of 30 years old, Rankins saw real success as a pass-rushing interior defender with DeMeco Ryans in 2023, so a one-year flier hoping for that kind of production seems like a smart move.

Grade: B-

Adam Butler might not be the biggest star, but he plays a key role as a pass-rushing interior defender for the Las Vegas Raiders, generating 59 pressures and 10 sacks over the last two seasons.

The Raiders found good value in bringing him back on a reasonable three-year, $16.5 million deal with $11 million in guarantees.

The Washington Commanders are sticking with last year's options at tight end after re-signing Zach Ertz and John Bates. While Bates isn't the biggest star at the position, he's a reliable tight end as an in-line blocker and should be a key part of 12 personnel and early running downs.

Jake Matthews signs extension with Falcons

Grade: A

Jake Matthews has been a reliable player on the blind side for the Atlanta Falcons, and they're deservedly rewarding him with a two-year deal worth up to $45 million with $38 million guaranteed. He hasn't allowed more than five sacks in a season since 2019 and never allowed more than 30 pressures during that span.

That's the kind of staple on the offensive line that you want to reward and keep around, so it's a smart move by Atlanta to make sure that Matthews is there to stay.

Steelers Grade: B-

Seahawks Grade: A-

The Pittsburgh Steelers are making it clear that they want wide receivers who can go deep after trading for DK Metcalf, but how does that fit schematically with George Pickens? The move might give Pittsburgh an out if they want to move on from Pickens down the road, but the fit feels a bit surprising given the other teams who were rumored to be interested in Metcalf's services.

For Seattle, it's a great return for a player who was seeking a big-time extension. The Seahawks appear focused on reshaping their roster this offseason, so getting a second-round pick for a disgruntled receiver feels like a major win for them.

Josh Allen signs extension with bills

Grade: A+

Believe it or not, it's actually a good thing to give an MVP quarterback a lot of money.

Despite having four years left on his deal, Josh Allen was given a six-year extension for $330 million, resetting the quarterback market as the highest-paid player in NFL history. He's still 28 years old and played some of his best football in 2024, making him worth every penny for a team continuing to build a Super Bowl contender around Allen.

Harold Landry signs with Patriots

Grade: B+

The New England Patriots got on the board early, which was expected as the team with the most cap space in the NFL by a wide margin. Landry didn't come cheap on a three-year deal for over $43 million, but he has a proven track record as a dominant pass rusher when healthy. He should be a nice complimentary EDGE opposite of Keion White, and a healthy Christian Barmore on the interior could quickly bolster what was a struggling defensive unit in 2024.

It might have been a lot to throw at a guy who has taken a bit of a step back since his ACL tear in 2022, but the Patriots need to outbid other teams to get good players in the building, or else they'll just be letting their cap space collect dust.

DAvante Adams signs with Rams

Grade: A

With the Los Angeles Rams expected to move on from Cooper Kupp, a key role needed to be filled in the offense. Davante Adams makes a ton of sense for the Rams and vice versa. The superstar receiver gets to move back out West on a two-year, $46 million deal with a star quarterback and a roster capable of competing for a Super Bowl.

Given his ability to separate against man coverage, Adams should quickly become a favorite target for Matthew Stafford.

Aaron Jones re-signs with Vikings

Grade: B

The Vikings are giving Jones a two-year, $20 million extension with $13 million guaranteed. It's a key move to keep a key offensive weapon in Minnesota, but it shouldn't hold the team back from looking at a younger successor to Jones on Day 2 of Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft, which seems to be extremely deep at the position.

Jones will see some age-related production at some point with his career workload, but this is still a solid deal for both sides that guarantees Minnesota has a talented RB in their offense going forward.

Nick Bolton Re-Signs with Chiefs

Grade: C+

In a loaded free agent class of off-ball linebackers, the Chiefs decided to stick with what they're comfortable with in their defense.

The problem is that they might have gotten better value with a cheaper option in free agency over giving Bolton a three-year deal with $30 million in guaranteed money.

It's not like he's completely breaking the bank with that kind of number, but as one of the highest-paid players now at his position, Bolton will need to take another step forward with his game to make this good value for the Chiefs in the coming years.

Myles Garrett Signs Extension with browns

Grade: A

The Cleveland Browns were adamant that they weren't going to move Garrett, and they put their money where their mouth was.

Garrett is now the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, making $40 million per year with over $120 million in guaranteed money. While the Browns have so many other questions about their roster, it's a huge win for the front office to be able to keep Garrett, who is one of the most dominant pass rushers in the NFL.

His presence on defense will allow the Browns to keep building around him instead of trying to figure out a succession plan.

Ronnie Stanley Re-signs with ravens

Grade: A-

Protecting Lamar Jackson should continue to be a top priority for the Baltimore Ravens, which is why it's such a relief that they were able to keep Stanley in the building.

The Ravens are giving Stanley a three-year deal for $60 million. He hasn't had his best couple of seasons at left tackle but is still 30 years old and should have a few more good seasons in him. It's also a pretty reasonable extension for both parties, and there's a strong chance that he could have gotten more guaranteed money by hitting the open market in free agency.

Geno Smith traded to the Raiders

Seahawks Grade: C

Raiders Grade: A-

A third-round pick for a starting quarterback isn't enough return for a starting-caliber quarterback, but it also gives the Seahawks an opportunity to explore other options in free agency.

The question is whether or not those other options are an upgrade over Geno Smith. He's a competent pocket passer who can carve up defenses when playing behind a reliable offensive line. It's an extremely prudent move for the Raiders to make sure they have a starting-caliber QB under center in 2025, especially if they're unable to land one of the top two QB prospects in this year's draft.
