Let’s no longer waste extra time because masses took place remaining week. Here are the winners and losers from the first wave of free agency.
Winners
Texans take advantage of C.J. Stroud’s rookie contract.
Falcons add weapons after Cousins signing
The more signings the Falcons make, the more I like the Kirk Cousins move to Atlanta.
Jacksonville Jaguars … for now not paying Calvin Ridley
Commanders’ smart, underrated signings.
The Washington Commanders show up to be the bad group that spends an absurd amount of money in free employer because the roster is filled with holes.
Lions tackle protective issues.
That’s simply terrible planning all around and indecisiveness from the organization. It’s comprehensible that the Panthers didn’t want to commit $150 million to Burns, however that’s a state of affairs that have been discussed in October when his cost was an awful lot higher.
Dolphins’ all-in approach backfires
The Miami Dolphins misplaced lots of brain in free enterprise with the departures of Christian Wilkins, Robert Hunt and Van Ginkel.
Losers
Panthers with more head-scratching choices.
Eagles’ risky splash moves
I’m a bit hesitant to criticize the Eagles’ free agency moves because they found a way to retain edge rusher Josh Sweat and now won’t have as many question marks on defense.
Bears mishandle Justin Fields’s development, trade
