NFL Free Agency 2020: Grades for every team after first wave

The fact that Jadeveon Clowney is still on the market and there is at least a chance that the Seahawks could sign him makes their grade somewhat incomplete at this point. Without Clowney, they could honestly be knocked down from a “C+” and could move up to the “B” range if they grab him. But as of now, this feels like the right spot for this team as there’s not a whole lot to get excited about.

Bringing back Jarran Reed was wise as was adding Greg Olsen and bringing in or bringing back several other veterans. However, the team saw a bunch of holes emerge along with a remaining issue on the offensive line and, frankly, they did little to address those areas in ways that inspire a ton of confidence.

Whenever you add perhaps the greatest quarterback of all-time to a team with a solid offensive line and elite wide receiver weapons, you’re going to be a winner. So since the Buccaneers landed Tom Brady, they are perhaps the biggest winner of 2020 NFL free agency.

They haven’t just added Brady, though. They retained Shaquil Barrett via the franchise tag after he led the NFL in sacks last season while also keeping Jason Pierre-Paul and Ndamukong Suh on the roster as well.

After going 7-9 with Jameis Winston last season, Bruce Arians’ team is clearly now one of the favorites to make a huge jump and perhaps compete for a Super Bowl in the 2020 season. Because of that, how can they get anything but top marks?
