Title: 2023 NFL free agency Grading each AFC Ea [Print This Page] Author: lovelystyle Time: 2023-6-1 09:29 Title: 2023 NFL free agency Grading each AFC Ea For the bulk of this century, the AFC East has been a have vs. have not division. Typically, there's been one team ruling over the rest, who are on the outside looking in on postseason contention. The majority of that dominance has been enjoyed by the , while the have recently ascended into that role. That said, things are changing quickly. This division is growing increasingly more competitive and this offseason is no exception. After their emergence last season, the have made moves that will keep them in the playoff conversation. Meanwhile, The are on the verge of adding a Hall of Fame quarterback into the fray. Yeah, it's been a doozy of an offseason and we haven't even hit the NFL Draft. More NFL free agency With the first waves of free agency now behind us, let's run down what each team in the division has done thus far and hand out our grades. Jonathan Isaac Jersey Additions: WR ( ), QB ( ), WR (Dolphins), C ( ), RB (Patriots), RG ( ), RG ( ) Re-signings: LB , S , RB , IDL , LB , RG , P Tracy McGrady Jersey , RG , LB Tyrel Dodson, CB Cam Lewis, CB Departures: QB (Texans), LB ( ), WR ( ), WR (Colts), RT ( ), RB (Texans), S (Raiders), TE ( ) Buffalo's most important moves this offseason came by way of retaining talent that was already on the roster. The team extended Matt Milano and surprisingly was able to bring back star safety Jordan Poyer as well. Poyer seemed to be a likely candidate to leave once he hit the open market, so being able to keep a player of his caliber was a major coup for a Bills team that boasts a Super Bowl-caliber roster. The biggest hit came on the defensive side of the ball with Tremaine Edmunds inking a deal with the Bears, leaving a notable hole at the off-ball linebacker position. Offensively, Damien Harris could be the type of running back that this backfield has been longing for quite some time. The former Patriot gives Buffalo the ability to dictate pace late in games and should allow them to churn down the clock to better put teams away. He'll be a solid complement to and Nyheim Hines.

Additions: CB (trade with Rams), WR (Jets), P (Patriots), LG (Jets), QB (Jets), EDGE ( ), TE ( ), S ( ), WR (Broncos), LB Jr. ( ), S (Rams) Re-signings: CB , LB , RB , LT , CB , LT , RB , WR , RB , CB , FB , EDGE , RB Departures: TE (Patriots), LB (Steelers), P (Jets), IDL (Raiders), TE (Rams), WR Trent Sherfield (Bills), C (Texans) The Dolphins made some savvy moves throughout this offseason after being major players a year ago. While there hasn't been much major spending, they were able to make their splash by striking a trade for former Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Inserting him into the secondary over recently released Dwayne Bacon Jersey corner (who mi sed all of last year), will give them a tremendous boost and a great one-two punch at the position with . David Long Jr. is another intriguing addition to the linebacker unit. Offensively, Miami was able to keep its backfield intact by re-signing Mostert and Jeff Wilson, but that unit could still use some more talent to raise its ceiling. The most notable departure also came on offensive with tight end Mike Gesicki, but his lo s may not be as dire as his name vale may suggest as he did not seem to mesh within Mike McDaniel's offense. It's also important to point out that the Dolphins picked up the fifth-year option for . Additions: TE Mike Gesicki (Dolphins), WR ( ), RT (Bears), LT (Broncos), LB (Lions), RB (Jets), P (Broncos) Re-signings: CB , WR , S , S , IDL , IDL , LB , LS , LG , LT , CB , LB , TE Departures: TE (trade with ), ( ), WR (Raiders), P Jake Bailey (Dolphins), RB Damien Harris (Bills), S (retirement) New England added some high-upside players, but there hasn't really been that home-run swing that firmly puts them in the conversation to win this division. The addition of JuJu Smith-Schuster has the potential to be an upgrade over Jakobi Meyers -- who has signed with the Raiders -- but it is a roll of the dice for Bill Belichick. The addition of James Robinson was also a bit head-scratching even with the departure of Damien Harris. Nikola Vucevic Jersey Running back is one of the team's deepest positions, so it'll be interesting to see where Robinson factors in. Tight end Mike Gesicki could end up being the best addition of the bunch as he's a clear upgrade over Jonnu Smith, who the team traded to Atlanta. While Riley Reiff brings experience at both tackle positions, New England does seem to need a little more talent here, which could be their target at the NFL Draft. Defensively, retaining Jonathan Jones was arguably their most important move of the offseason to this point, especially in the aftermath of Devin McCourty retiring. Additions: QB (pending trade with ), S (Ravens), C ( ), WR (Packers), P Thomas Morstead (Dolphins), WR (Chiefs), C (Ravens) Re-signings: EDGE , K Greg Zuerlien, S , LG , IDL , FB , LB , EDGE , RB Departures: WR Braxton Berrios (Dolphins), IDL (Texans), LG Dan Feeney( Dolphins), QB Anfernee Hardaway Jersey Mike White (Dolphins), WR (trade with ), RB (Steelers), IDL (Saints), WR (Giants), RB James Robinson (Patriots) While it's not actually done Cole Anthony Jersey yet, Aaron Rodgers being traded to the Jets is looked at as an inevitability, so we'll work under the a sumption that he'll be their QB1 by the time Week 1 rolls around. By bringing in a future Hall of Fame quarterback, this has been a home run of an offseason for New York as the arrival of Rodgers does immediately put them in the playoff conversation and even has them as a sleeper Super Bowl contender. New York has also revamped the wide receiver room for Rodgers, bringing in Allen Lazard and Mecole Hardman to complement and others. The offense -- specifically the quarterback position -- was what kept New York back from being in the playoffs a year ago. With Rodgers now in the fold, the narrative around this team is flipped overnight and could even have them rivaling Buffalo for the division crown.
