Ranking the 4 NFC East teams in free agency so far

Retaining guard-center Brock Hoffman, defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa, and defensive backs Juanyeh Thomas and Markquese Bell were needed moves.

Of the eight outside free agents signed so far, linebacker Jack Sanborn is the cream of the crop.

Defensive end Dante Fowler, and running backs Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders are huge question marks. The same can be said for the two players Dallas traded for.

Cornerback Kaiir Elam and linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr. are both former first round picks that didn’t pan out with their previous teams.

Grade: C- (and don’t at me in the comments. I’ve seen many other lower grades handed down to Dallas already.)

New York Giants

The Giants haven’t exactly set the spring on fire either. They have re-signed 10 of their players while signing 12 outside free agents.

Two more notable additions came with quarterback Jameis Winston and defensive lineman Chauncey Gholston.

Neither player screams “Super Bowl” but they should help improve a team that has been dismal for a couple of years now at the very least.

Grade: C (Note: The Giants are the only NFC East team not to have pulled the trigger on an offseason trade yet.)

Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles are already seeing the curse of winning a Super Bowl.

Everyone starts poaching your players. And, you usually don’t have a lot of money lying about to go replace them with.

Philadelphia has retained four free agents, including key players like running back Saquon Barkley, offensive tackle Lane Johnson, and linebacker Zack Braun.

The Eagles have signed eight free agents, most notably running back A.J. Dillon. They have traded for a new back-up quarterback in Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

Grade: B- — if only for retaining Barkley.

Washington Commanders

The Commanders are winning this race by attrition. A total of 25 free agents, in-house and outside combined, sends a strong message.

“We’re (really) all-in.”

Did you see what I did there, Jerry Jones?

Michael Gallup might be the steal of the year, or the biggest swing and a miss. If he returns in pre-injury form, Jayden Daniels is going to have a monster year.

Especially as Washington traded for receiver Deebo Samuel and left tackle Laremy Tunsil.

Right now, the Commanders are the early favorites to win the NFC East in January. Maybe even sooner.
