Pro Football Focus (PFF) gave out grades to each NFL team regarding their free agency moves. The Arizona Cardinals received a C grade, which stands as the worst in the entire league.
PFF is a company that is used and trusted by NFL teams when it comes to determining analytics. Four teams received a C+ grade, leaving Arizona as the lone team to receive a C.
The Cardinals have made several moves over the last seven days, including signing five new players to three-year deals.
In their biggest deal of the offseason in terms of total money, Arizona gave former Chicago Bears defensive lineman Justin Jones a three-year, $30.1 million deal.
PFF described this move as “probably the deal we view as the most player-friendly signing so far this offseason.” In other words, the Cardinals may have overpaid for Jones relative to his production.
While they were unable to land top free agents, Arizona has filled positions of need with quality role players.
In one of their few offensive signings over the last week, they agreed on a two-year deal with former Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Jonah Williams. This stands as the biggest contract the team has handed out this offseason in terms of AAV.
With free agency dwindling, the Cardinals will look to continue making moves to fill out the roster before next month’s draft.
