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.

Losing offensive lineman/hybrid tight end George Fant to the Jets wasn’t a big deal for the Seahawks, but losing outside/inside pass-rusher Quinton Jefferson to the Bills presents a bigger issue. Jefferson is one of the NFL’s most underrated defensive linemen, and Seattle doesn’t have another guy with Jefferson’s capabilities unless Jadeveon Clowney re-signs in the Emerald City. Losing Jefferson also takes some of the luster off the Jarran Reed re-signing, though Reed is a quality player. The sleeper deal so far for Seattle, we suppose, is multi-positional offensive lineman B.J. Finney, who fills a few backup holes but doesn’t solve the team’s longstanding protection issues in a larger sense.
