Jets – C+
Main Additions: QB Justin Fields, S Andre Cisco, CB Brandon Stephens, CB Isaiah Oliver, OT Chukwuma Okorafor, DT Derrick Nnadi
Main Re-signings: LB Jamine Sherwood, LB Jamin Davis
Main Losses: QB Aaron Rodgers, WR Davante Adams, CB D.J. Reed, LB C.J. Mosley (cut), Edge Haason Reddick, DT Solomon Thomas, DT Javon Kinlaw, S Ashtyn Davis
The Jets replaced Rodgers with the younger more athletic Fields. Reed has been replaced by a player Ravens fans are happy to move in Stephens. Oliver is a lanky veteran CB who can play. Okorafor is a swing Tackle who should be in competition for the RT job. Nnadi is a solid run stopper who can play DE/DT, but it will be tough to replace Kinlaw. No replacement for Adams.
Bills – B-
Main Additions: Edge Joey Bosa, WR Josh Palmer, DT Larry Ogunjobi
Main Re-signings: RB Ty Johnson, S Damar Hamlin
Main Losses: Von Miller, WR Mack Hollins, CB Kaiir Elam (trade)
They replaced Miller with another oft-injured pass rusher in Joey Bosa, but he should have a chip on his shoulder. They upgraded Hollins with a true deep threat in Palmer who needs to be more consistent. Ogunjobi is a solid veteran run stopper/NT. Elam is a talented young CB getting a change of scenery.
Pats – A-
Main Additions: Edge Harold Landry, CB Carlton Davis, DT Milton Williams, LB Robert Spillane, OT Morgan Moses, QB Josh Dobbs, WR Mack Hollins
Main Re-signings: TE Austin Hooper
Main Losses: C David Andrews (retirement), DT Davon Godchaux (trade), CB Jonathan Jones, QB Jacoby Brissett, OT Chukwuma Okorafor, Edge Detrich Wise Jr.
They always say the way to be a winner in free agency is to have money to spend. HC Vrable was able to acquire his former pass rusher in Landry which made sense. Davis is a tall, physical CB replacing Jones. Williams is coming off a SB with the Eagles as a solid piece inside the last few seasons; now paid top of the market. Moses is a proven veteran RT and upgrade over Okorafor. Hooper was a nice target for Maye. Godchaux is a smaller pass rush DT that didn’t fit the system and was granted a trade.
Dolphins – C-
Main Additions: G James Daniels, QB Zach Wilson, S Ifeatu Melifonwu, WR Nick Westbrook-Ihkine, S Ashtyn Davis, RB Alexander Mattison
Main Re-signings: G Jackson Carman, WR Dee Eskridge
Main Losses: S Jevon Holland, RB Raheem Mostert, G Robert Jones, TE Durham Smythe, WR Braxton Berrios
I gave the Dolphins a C-, but the possible retirement of LT Terron Armstead who they may need to replace, could easily make this a D+. Daniels is a solid veteran Guard who can also play Center. The Dolphins are taking a chance with Wilson to be Tua insurance, but Wilson is still an unknown with potential at this point. Melifonwu and Davis are physical safeties who should help offset the loss of Holland. Mattison takes over the bruiser back role Mostert had. Westbrook was a good #2/3 WR for the Titans, he may excel as the #3 competing with Eskridge.
