Top NFL Free Agency Grades

Bears Make a Power Move for Drew Dalman
3 years, $42 million
Grade: A
Chicago bolsters its O-line with a rock-solid center, ensuring Caleb Williams gets the protection he needs. Dalman allowed just 10 pressures and zero sacks in 9 games last season.

Buccaneers Take a Gamble on Haason Reddick
1 year, $14 million
Grade: B
After a rough season with the Jets, Reddick hopes to rediscover his double-digit sack form in Tampa Bay. If he returns to peak performance, this could be a steal for the Bucs.

Giants Bet Big on Paulson Adebo
3 years, $30 million
Grade: B
A broken femur limited him last season, but his playmaking skills (3 INTs in 7 games) make him a high-upside addition to a struggling Giants secondary.

Patriots Add a Defensive Enforcer in Robert Spillane
3 years, $37.5 million
Grade: B
With 158 tackles last season, Spillane brings toughness and experience to Mike Vrabel’s defense. Can he be the difference-maker New England needs?

Chiefs Secure a New Protector for Mahomes
2 years, $30 million
Grade: B
After struggling against the Eagles’ pass rush in the Super Bowl, the Chiefs grab Jaylon Moore, a big, athletic tackle with major upside. Not their first choice, but still a solid move.
