2022 NFL free agency team-by-team grades: Raiders, Bills ... (CBSSports.com)

The 2022 NFL offseason is officially upon us. Several big-name quarterbacks found new homes ahead of the kickoff of the legal tampering period Monday, ...

Somehow, they didn't just get Tom Brady back from retirement, but also found a way to keep the anchor of his line and their top young cover man. Uzomah is a nice pass-catching addition for Zach Wilson, and Tomlinson helps beef up the line. The Saints made quick work of replacing Marcus Williams, who inked a long-term deal with the Ravens in free agency. Ryan is another Band-Aid at QB, but he at least offers good value via trade; Indy essentially flipped Carson Wentz for the longtime Falcons QB and a third-rounder. A-Rob is their latest luxury addition out wide, allowing them to roll into 2022 with one of the NFL's best/deepest pass-catching groups, with or without a new deal for Odell Beckham Jr. Retaining Aaron Rodgers was the biggest move of the offseason, even if the QB wasn't technically a free agent. The Browns get a clear upgrade at QB by slotting in Watson over Baker Mayfield, but this move comes with major risks. They were betting big on DT Larry Ogunjobi's continued development, committing $13.5M per year to the ex-Bengals starter before a failed physical killed the deal. Woods, meanwhile, brings experience to the back end of the defense at a reasonable price. Moses gives them quality insurance up front to protect Lamar Jackson. And Pierce is exactly the kind of reunion they needed on defense, especially after the Za'Darius Smith deal fell through. Hayward gives them a quality starting corner for a reasonable price, but their offense is sorely lacking. Arizona went all in on older and/or injury-prone veterans a year ago, but it'd be nice to see the team go a little greener if its gonna spend big money.
