** UP Now Lee vs Oliveira UFC Fight night 170 TOP Level Release **

In This piece Rob will grade each NFL Team and take a look at Key additions and Departures in free agency as well as trades.







The teams will be listed in alphabetic Order






Arizona Cardinals- Grade A
Key additions: WR DeAndre Hopkins (trade), DT Jordan Phillips, OLB Devon Kennard, LB De’Vondre Campbell


Key losses: RB David Johnson (traded), DE Rodney Gunter


Notable re-signings/tags: RB Kenyan Drake (transition tag), WR Larry Fitzgerald


The Big trade netting DeAndre Hopkins headlines the off season and gives 2nd Year Qb Murray a big time target. Arizona made some solid moves on the defensive side of the ball while also dumping some bad contracts. Solid off season thus far.*


Atlanta Falcons- Grade C-


Key additions: DE Dante Fowler Jr., RB Todd Gurley III, TE Hayden Hurst (trade)


Key losses: TE Austin Hooper, RB Devonta Freeman (released), CB Desmond Trufant, DE Vic Beasley, LB De’Vondre Campbell


Notable re-signings/tags: None


The Falcons made some nice upgrades and did so efficiently* Fowler is better at his point than Beasley and taking a chance on Todd Gurley at a nice price while saying good bye to D. Freeman. Atlanta over paid* to obtain* Hurst while letting go ofHooper, they also lost Campbell and Trufant and now are without a round 2 draft pick. Atlanta could struggle this season




Baltimore Ravens- Grade B-


Key additions: DE Calais Campbell (trade), DT Michael Brockers


Key losses: DT Michael Pierce, S Tony Jefferson (released), G Marshal Yanda (retired)


Notable re-signings/tags: OLB Matt Judon (franchise tag), CB Jimmy Smith.


Baltimore can move ahead by bringing back more of their own guys.They should be a handful after getting Brockers and Cambell, good luck running the ball on this team. They did lose Guard Yanda to retirement and that could hurt as they like to run the ball. However we may see the offense open up a bit this season anyway as Baltimore wont want to become too predictable.


Buffalo Bills- Grade A


Key additions: WR Stefon Diggs (trade), OLB Mario Addison, LB A.J. Klein, DT Vernon Butler, DT Quinton Jefferson, CB Josh Norman


Key losses: DT Jordan Phillips, DE Shaq Lawson


Notable re-signings/tags: G Quinton Spain


The Bills made a statement here picking up Diggs which is the game breaking Wiedout that has been missing for them. They did give up a lot to get him but they are looking to seize control of the AFC East and upgraded what is already a top 3 defense.




Carolina Panthers- Grade C+


Key additions: QB Teddy Bridgewater, DE Steven Weatherly, WR Robby Anderson


Key losses: LB Luke Kuechly (retired), CB James Bradberry, OLB Mario Addison, DT Gerald McCoy, DT Vernon Butler, S Eric Reid (released), TE Greg Olsen (released)


Notable re-signings/tags: S Tre Boston


Carolina gets the C+ grade just for Getting Bridgewater who should make the fan base quickly for get about Cam Newton.They also big up big play threat Robby Anderson. However losing Kuechly who is retiring and a pair of defensive tackles will hurt. They need to draft well this year.


Chicago Bears- Grade D-
Key additions: DE Robert Quinn, TE Jimmy Graham, QB Nick Foles (trade)


Key losses: LB Nick Kwiatkoski, OLB Leonard Floyd, S Ha-Ha Clinton Dix, QB Chase Daniel, WR Taylor Gabriel (released), CB Prince Amukamara (released)


Notable re-signings/tags: LB Danny Trevathan


Chicago is taking a big chance on Quinn here who was solid last year but not so much in years past. Jimmy Graham and Nick Foles may not have much left. The Bears lost a lot of depth on defense and look to be headed in the wrong direction.




Cincinnati Bengals- Grade A


Key additions: DT D.J. Reader, CB Trae Waynes


Key losses: OT Cordy Glenn (released)


Notable re-signings/tags: WR A.J. Green (franchise tag)


The Bengals Went balls to the wall this off season obtaining Waynes and Reader to upgrade the defense. They tagged Green and are likely to take Heisman winner J. Burrows number 1 overall later this month. This would make for a solid off season.




Cleveland Browns- Grade B+


Key additions: TE Austin Hooper, OT Jack Conklin, QB Case Keenum, CB*


Kevin Johnson, S Karl Joseph


Key losses: LB Joe Schobert, LB Christian Kirksey, S Eric Murray


Notable re-signings/tags: None


Cleveland did well here landing two of the top free agents in Hooper who is the best tight end available and Top offensive lineman Conklin, both will support an offense which is likely to improve as Mayfield enters his 3rd year at the helm. Cleveland did lose sone quality on the defense. If they upgrade their line backers this grade can easily go to an A.




Dallas Cowboys- Grade D-


Key additions: DT Gerald McCoy, S Ha-Ha Clinton Dix


Key losses: CB Byron Jones, DE Robert Quinn, WR Randall Cobb, S Jeff Heath, DT Maliek Collins, TE Jason Witten, C Travis Frederick (retirement)


Notable re-signings/tags: WR Amari Cooper, QB Dak Prescott (franchise tag), TE Blake Jarwin


Dallas decided to bring back Cooper which they almost had to do and after that tagged Dak Prescott. However they did lose Jones and Quinn and that will be a severe blow to the defense.Another big loss on the offensive line is Center Travis Fredrick as he decides to call it quits. Also departing is Cobb and Witten. This was a rough off season.






Denver Broncos- Grade B+


Key additions: G/C Graham Glasgow, RB Melvin Gordon, CB A.J. Bouye (trade), DT Jurrell Casey (trade)


Key losses: C Connor McGovern, CB Chris Harris, QB Joe Flacco (released)


Notable re-signings/tags: S Justin Simmons (franchise tag)


Denver brings in Melvin Gordon to change the pace with Lindsay in the back field to take the pressure off Drew Lock. They scored getting Casey for a 7th round pick to upgrade the D-line. The Broncos also tagged safety Simmons and did not lose too much other than Bouye. A very Productive off season so far be Denver who looked good late last year.




Detroit Lions- Grade D-


Key additions: OT Halapoulivaati Vaitai, LB Jamie Collins, DT Danny Shelton, QB Chase Daniel, S Duron Harmon (trade)


Key losses: CB Darius Slay (trade), G/C Graham Glasgow, LB Devon Kennard, OT Rick Wagner


Notable re-signings/tags: None


The Lions have not done much and lost Darius Slay. They panicked and over paid Vaitai who hasnt been a full time starter. This looks like a long year for Detroit and probably spells the end for coach Patricia who looks in over his head with this roster in the tough NFC North.




Green Bay Packers- Grade C-


Key additions: LB Christian Kirksey, OT Rick Wagner


Key losses: LB Blake Martinez, OT Bryan Bulaga, TE Jimmy Graham, OLB Kyler Fackrell


Notable re-signings/tags: None


The Packers have not done much and wont be as good as last season. They have Kirksey replacing Martinez. Other than that Rick Wagner takes over for Bulage and that will hurt them. The Packers really need to make a splash and we havent seen it yet.






Houston Texans- Grade F


Key additions: RB David Johnson (trade), WR Randall Cobb, S Eric Murray


Key losses: WR DeAndre Hopkins (traded), DT D.J. Reader


Notable re-signings/tags: K Ka’imi Fairbairn, CB Bradley Roby


When the best move you make is bringing back your kicker that shows what a poor job of upgrading your team. David Johnson is no longer the back he was a few years ago and he makes a ton of money, they also* lost one of the best wide outs in the game in Hopkins. They made things worse by over paying Cobb to replace him. This could be one of the worst off seasons for any team in recent history. Yikes.








Indianapolis Colts- Grade B+


Key additions: DL DeForest Buckner (trade), QB Philip Rivers


Key losses: TE Eric Ebron, CB Pierre Desir


Notable re-signings/tags: OT Anthony Castonzo


The Colts bring in Philip Rivers here and this will be a significant upgrade. They also made a big slash trading for one of the best Defensive Lineman in Buckner who will bolster the line and cause havoc. They should be able to replace Ebron without much difficulty. We like their chances in this division and they have had a nice off season.




Jacksonville Jaguars- Grade D


Key additions: LB Joe Schobert, DE Rodney Gunter, CB Darqueze Dennard


Key losses: QB Nick Foles (trade), CB A.J. Bouye (trade), DE Calais Campbell (trade)


Notable re-signings/tags: DE Yannick Ngakoue (franchise tag)


The Jaguars will need a big draft to better this grade as they have not done much to upgrade this team. Their trades have given them some back end draft picks and defensive end Ngakoue isn’t happy with the tag. Schobert is a nice player, but a five-year, $53.75 million deal was simply not worth it and would have been allocated better somewhere else. Be a long year in the AFC South for the Jags.




Kansas City Chiefs- Grade C+


Key additions: OT. Remmers, CB Hamilton, QB Henne, TE Seals- Jones


Key losses: CB Kendall Fuller, DE Emmanuel Ogbah


Notable re-signings/tags: DE Chris Jones (franchise tag) WR Robinson


The Chiefs have been mostly dormant this off season and as seen above have just made some marginal moves. Offensive lineman Remmers may wind up starting but this looks like a team that knows it has to pay Mahomes and wont do too much this off season.






Los Angeles Chargers- Grade C- Perhaps a B


Key additions: G Trai Turner (trade), OT Bryan Bulaga, DT Linval Joseph, CB Chris Harris


Key losses: QB Philip Rivers, RB Melvin Gordon, OT Russell Okung (traded), FB Derek Watt, OLB Thomas Davis, LB Jatavis Brown, S Adrian Phillip


Notable re-signings/tags: RB Austin Ekeler, TE Hunter Henry (franchise tag)


The Chargers have been very busy this off season. They bring back* Ekeler and Henry as they start life without Rivers. The offensive line should be solid with the Turner and Bulaga as upgrades. The Chargers will have to make a move as Tyrod Taylor is not the answer.* Cam Newton or even Jameis Winston might wind up here. Should they obtain either one of these two the grade would go up to a B.






Los Angeles Rams- Grade D


Key additions: DT A’Shawn Robinson, OLB Leonard Floyd


Key losses: OLB/DE Dante Fowler Jr., LB Cory Littleton, DT Michael Brockers, RB Todd Gurley III (released), CB Nickell Robey-Coleman (released), OLB Clay Matthews (released), S Eric Weddle (retired)


Notable re-signings/tags: OT Andrew Whitworth


The Rams have had the second worst off season with only Houston ahead of them. Should they move Brandin Cooks the grading will be even worse.T he losses of Weddle to retirement and releasing of Mathews, Gurley and Coleman will hurt they pick up 2 decent defenders but this team is a shell of what is was just 2 years ago






Miami Dolphins- Grade A


Key additions: CB Byron Jones, LB Kyle Van Noy, DE Shaq Lawson, G Ereck Flowers, DE Emmanuel Ogbah, RB Jordan Howard, LB Kamu Grugier-Hill


Key losses: None


Notable re-signings/tags: None


The Dolphins spent a ton of money adding 6 potential starters and were one of the busiest teams in the off season, They did not lose anyone note worthy and have improved their team in what suddenly looks like a wide open AFC East. The feeling is they will do even more. Right now they are having a solid off season.




Minnesota Vikings- Grade C+


Key additions: DT Michael Pierce


Key losses: WR Stefon Diggs (trade), CB Xavier Rhodes (released), DE Everson Griffen, CB Trae Waynes, DT Linval Joseph, DE Steven Weatherly


Notable re-signings/tags: S Anthony Harris (franchise tag), K Dan Bailey


Minnesota loses one of the top wide outs in the game in Diggs and really the move was predicated on a bad cap situation as they did release some quality players particularly on the defensive side of the ball. They did get an above average return for Diggs but the feeling is that the team lost a lot of depth.






New England Patriots- Grade D


Key additions: DT Beau Allen, S Adrian Phillips, QB Brian Hoyer


Key losses: QB Tom Brady, LB Kyle Van Noy, LB Jamie Collins, DT Danny Shelton, K Stephen Gostkowski (released)


Notable re-signings/tags: S Devin McCourty, G Joe Thuney (franchise tag)


The Patriots start life without Brady and Brian Hoyer is clearly not the answer. There is a newton and or Winston out there but this team looks like it may wait a year and draft a new franchise guy. They still have sone talent mostly on defense and will always be better than we think. But this was a dismal off season unless they get a better QB.






New Orleans Saints- Grade B+


Key additions: S Malcolm Jenkins, WR Emmanuel Sanders


Key losses: QB Teddy Bridgewater, CB Eli Apple


Notable re-signings/tags: QB Drew Brees, G Andrus Peat, DT David Onyemata


The Saints look like they want to take one more big shot at things as they Bring back Brees. The loss of Bridgewater only hurts if Brees goes down. We should see nice production from Sanders and the Jenkins move at Safety will help as well. Quality over quantity in what should be a solid season for New Orleans.






New York Giants- Grade C+


Key additions: CB James Bradberry, LB Blake Martinez, OLB Kyler Fackrell


Key losses: LB Alec Ogletree (released), QB Eli Manning (retired)


Notable re-signings/tags: DE Leonard Williams (franchise tag)


The Giants may have over paid a bit but they did need to defensive help and bringing in Martinez and Bradberry will surely help. They had no choice but to tag Williams after giving the Jets a third rounder for him. If the Giants draft well and can get a solid offensive lineman this C+ goes to a B.




New York Jets- Grade A


Key additions: WR Perriman OT George Fant, C Connor McGovern, CB Pierre Desir, OT Lewis, G Van Roten, CB Poole, CB Maulet


Key losses: CB Trumaine Johnson (released) WR Anderson


Notable re-signings/tags: LB Jenkins, LB Burgess


The Jets swooped in and had one of the best albeit quietest off seasons of any teams. GM Douglas retooled the offensive line led by Fant and saved money replacing WR Anderson with Perriman from Tampa. The Jets bring back two solid line backers and a slew of much needed defensive back help. New York gets a solid A Grading no matter what they do in the draft.




Oakland Raiders- Grade B


Key additions: LB Cory Littleton, DE Carl Nassib, LB Nick Kwiatkoski, CB Eli Apple, S Jeff Heath, DT Maliek Collins, TE Jason Witten, WR Nelson Agholor, QB Marcus Mariota


Key losses: LB Tahir Whitehead




The Raiders did well here getting Mariota and Nassib as well as picking up Agholor who we think can flourish here. Witten comes over to add depth and experience from Dallas and Eli Apple will be a big help in the defensive back field. The Raiders have been very busy thus far and will be much improved this year especially on defense.




Philadelphia Eagles- Grade B


Key additions: CB Darius Slay (trade), DT Javon Hargrave, LB Jatavis Brown


Key losses: OT Halapoulivaati Vaitai, S Malcolm Jenkins (released), RB Jordan Howard, LB Kamu Grugier-Hill, WR Nelson Agholor, OT Jason Peters
Notable re-signings/tags: S Rodney McLeod


The Eagles plucked Darius Slay and Hargrave both of whom are expected to start as the Eagles retool on defense.* Philly lost some key pieces as they did not want to over pay. Most of what they lost is replaceable. Philadelphia spent wisely and did well this off season.




Pittsburgh Steelers- Grade C+


Key additions: TE Eric Ebron, FB Derek Watt, OL Stefen Wisniewski


Key losses: DT Javon Hargrave,G Ramon Foster (retired)


Notable re-signings/tags: LB Bud Dupree (franchise tag)


The Steelers did not do a whole lot to really improve. They get some tight end help with Ebron and shore up the offensive line. The loss of* Hargrave who was coming off a big year will hurt. However tagging Dupree was the right move. All in all though this off season was average at best.






San Francisco 49ers- Grade C+


Key additions: Gurard Compton, DE Hyder, WR Benjamin


Key losses: DL DeForest Buckner, WR Emmanuel Sanders


Notable re-signings/tags: DL Arik Armstead, S Jimmie Ward


San Francisco gets a C Grade as they were mostly looking to resign their own players and they did a decent job of it. However the loss of Buckner on the defensive line will hurt as they decided to stick with Armstead. Most of the players they are bringing in are depth deals on 1 year contracts. Nothing exciting thats for sure.






Seattle Seahawks- Grade C


Key additions: OT Brandon Shell, TE Greg Olsen, CB Quinton Dunbar (trade)


Key losses: OT George Fant, DT Quinton Jefferson


Notable re-signings/tags: DT Jarran Reed- Clowney ?


The Seattle off season is basically going to be graded on their ability to bring back Clowney. Bringing back Reed back was a nice move. They lost Fant to the Jets but were able to get Shell and Carolina long time tight end Greg Olsen which gives them a C. Should they get Clowney We will grade them as an A. Yes he is that important.






Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Grade A+


Key additions: QB Tom Brady, OT Haeg, LB Pieree Paul, DT Suh


Key losses: QB Jameis Winston, DE Carl Nassib, WR Perriman


Notable re-signings/tags: DE Shaquil Barrett (franchise tag), DE Jason Pierre-Paul


The biggest free agent splash this year is Brady to the Bucs. Winston and his picks will be a mere after thought. The Bucs bring in OT Haeg from Indy to protect him and Pierre Paul on defense as well as Suh. The Bucs have had a sensational off season and get our highest grade A+






Tennessee Titans- Grade B


Key additions: DE Vic Beasley, OT Kelly


Key losses: OT Jack Conklin, QB Marcus Mariota


Notable re-signings/tags: QB Ryan Tannehill, RB Derrick Henry (franchise tag), OL Dennis Kelly


The Titans Bring back Tanneyhill and wave good bye to Mariota. The key loss in Conklin on the offensive line though. On defense Beasley is a solid pass rushing pick up and they saved some nice change with offensive linemen Kelly who will replace Conklin. The rest of their moves were one year deals on guys who can add some depth.




Washington Redskins- Grade C-


Key additions: CB Kendall Fuller, S Sean Davis, OLB Thomas Davis, RB Barber, TE Rodgers


Key losses: G Ereck Flowers, QB Case Keenum, CB Josh Norman*
(released), TE Vernon Davis (retirement), CB Quinton Dunbar (traded)


Washington has had an average off season thus far as they bargain shopped with Running back Barber and tight end Rodgers. They were smart to tag Guard Scherf and decided to bring back Fuller on defense. they did lose Flowers on the defensive line and he will be hard to replace. They did have a lot of cap space and the feeling is that they would make a bigger splash.
