Free-agency grades for every NFL team (so far)

As the new league year turns over, there’s already been enough movement to grade every team on their free-agency moves.

Grade: B

Yes, we are grading on a curve, but the curve can only do so much. The Pittsburgh Steelers were in a brutal position with the cap, and this free agency period is likely more of a cost-cutting exercise than anything else. They did agree to a contract extension with tackle Zach Banner, and they did convert some of Vance McDonald’s contract into a bonus, which helped clear some space. They also added fullback Derek Watt from the Los Angeles Chargers. But without much cap space, they are limited in what they can accomplish. They’ll need to hit on some draft picks.

Grade: C+
