NFL Free Agency Grades: Cowboys, Bills, Falcons Underwhelm

The Buffalo Bills have made significant moves this offseason, including extending key players like Josh Allen, who became the highest-paid player in NFL history in guaranteed money, and signing notable free agents such as Joey Bosa. However, Yahoo! Sports graded their offseason a C, indicating a lack of major impact signings despite productive efforts. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys have been active as well, trading for potential starters Kenneth Murray Jr. and Kaiir Elam, with Bleacher Report giving them a B grade for these transactions. Despite the optimism surrounding Elam's future in the Cowboys' defensive scheme, CBS Sports assigned the Cowboys a C grade overall, citing their low-risk, low-reward signings as a reason for the lack of splashy moves. The Atlanta Falcons, on the other hand, received a C grade from Pro Football Network after losing key players like Grady Jarrett while adding edge rusher Leonard Floyd, which was seen as a positive but insufficient to offset their losses. As teams continue to navigate the free agency landscape, evaluations reflect a mix of optimism and caution regarding their strategies.
