Wilson still has one of the NFL's top receiving duos in Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, along with a new weapon in the form of rookie receiver . Despite being just 5-foot-9, Eskridge made Mid-American Conference defensive backs look silly last season. In just six games, Eskridge caught

"I can do multiple things on the offensive and defensive side, and I can also go and perform well on special teams, so I just bring a whole other juice."Despite Chris Carson's injury, the Seahawks finished 12th in the NFL in rushing and sixth in yards-per-carry average in 2020. That being said, their running game was largely saved by Wilson, who finished second on the team in rushing attempts and
Hunter Strickland Jersey rushing yards. Along with Carson, the Seahawks will need bigger contributions this season from Rashaad Penny, Travis Homer,and .

If you had to pick a winner in NFL free agency, it's not a player or a team, it's a division. The AFC West has dominated free agency with big signings and ma sive trades, even though a few stars left the division. The have won the AFC West six straight seasons, but is that about to change?The have a new star quarterback, the made several big additions on defense and then the hit the jackpot in reuniting with his No. 1 wide receiver from Fresno State. In
Ben Scrivens Jersey doing so, they also broke up and the Chiefs!With most of the big moves in free agency now behind us, let's grade how each of the four teams in the AFC West have fared up to this point.Key additions:QB (trade, ), DT (), EDGE (), CB (49ers), LB ()Re-signings:OT , DL , LB Departures: QB (), OL (), QB (trade, Seahawks), TE (trade, Seahawks), DL (trade, Seahawks) The big addition for the Broncos this offseason was clearly Wilson. They now have their first legitimate starting quarterback since the days, and it automatically makes them a contender. When you examine this roster from the weapons on offense to the offensive line to the defense as a whole, Denver is poised to take a major step forward. It is worth mentioning that Wilson is now 33 and coming off of a season in which he did not look his best. His hand injury was surely a reason for this, but the change of scenery could also rejuvenate him.In the trade with Seattle, Denver lost Lock, Fant and Harris. While Fant is a young talent, the Broncos are high on future. Harris was a defensive leader, but Denver added Jones to the defensive line in free agency -- a move considered to be one of the more underrated signings in the NFL.Denver found a new starting pa s-rusher in Gregory, stealing him from the Cowboys in what was one of the wilder stories in free agency. The 29-year-old spurned the team that has stood by him through his up-and-down career. Why?the Cowboys front office attempted to insert contract language that was neither previously agreed upon nor "deemed palatable" by Gregory's camp at the
Laurent Brossoit Jersey last minute. This was a win for the Broncos, as Gregory was the top pa s-rushing target for Denver in free agency,. Key additions: WR (), WR () C (Dolphins), S (), S (), OT (Texans), LB Jr. () WR (N/A)Re-signings:QB , FB , OT Jr. (franchise tag), OL , DT , TE Departures: CB (), DT (Packers), WR (Raiders), WR Tyreek Hill (trade, Dolphins), CB (49ers), C (Seahawks)When it comes to the Chiefs this offseason, the main headline is the lo s of their most prized playmaker. After failing to agree to terms on a new deal with Hill, Kansas City traded him to Miami for five draft picks -- including a first-rounder this year. While Hill is a star and the Chiefs are worse off for losing him, it may have been the right decision. Kansas City in turn received plenty of draft capital, freed up cap space and doesn't have to pay Hill a four-year, $120 million extension that averages $30 million per year, with $72.2 million guaranteed.The Chiefs signed Smith-Schuster and Valdes-Scantling to replace Hill, which obviously is not enough to make up for what Hill brought to this offense. Still, Smith-Schuster could experience a rebirth in Andy Reid's offense, and Valdes-Scantling is someone who can take the top off
Adam Larsson Jersey of defenses. Coleman was a strange signing, as he hasn't played an NFL game in three years. Another likely lo s for the Chiefs is , who is still looking for a new NFL home but it appears it will be somewhere other than Kansas City. The Chiefs have already replaced him with Reid, who is just 25. Bush was another decent depth addition to the secondary, and Carter Jr. is an intriguing option at linebacker. The Chiefs also brought Reiter back into the fold. Overall, the Chiefs have had an OK offseason, but the lo s of Hill -- and the rest of the division having clearly improved -- hurts.Key additions:RB (), WR (trade, Packers), WR Demarcus Robinson (Chiefs), DT (Bears), DT (), EDGE (), CB (trade, ), CB (), LB ()Re-signings:OT , DB Departures: QB (), LB (Bills), LB (Panthers), LB (Bears), DE (trade, Colts), CB (Colts), WR (), FB (Dolphins), DT (Seahawks), CB (Packers) The Raiders sent shockwaves around the league by sending the Packers a first and second-round pick for Adams, who has been the best receiver in the NFL over the past couple of seasons. While giving a wideout $141.25 million over five years is a ton of money, what made this addition a major win is that , and ultimately moved him out of the division. Adams' rapport with was incredible, but he knows Carr well from their college days together.The Raiders also signed one of the top pa s-rushers in this free agency cla s in Jones, who should pair nicely with . Many wondered what would happen to Ngakoue with this move, but Vegas flipped him to the Colts for a defensive back in Ya-Sin. The Raiders also beefed up the defensive interior, signing Butler and Nichols.Vegas had a great offseason, but the most intriguing addition
Milan Lucic Jersey they made is in head coach Josh McDaniels. He has all the pieces to lead a contender, but will he? Key additions:CB (Patriots), OLB (trade, Bears), TE (Seahawks), DT (), DT ()Re-signings:WR , QB , DL Departures: DT (Bears), LB (Raiders), LB (Seahawks) LB (Eagles), OL (Texans)Brandon Staley has been head coach of the Chargers for just one season, but that makes him the second-longest tenured coach in
Patrick Maroon Jersey the division. He has his franchise quarterback in place in , and the front office didn't dilly-dally around building for him in free agency. L.A. was aggre sive.Retaining Williams was clearly important to this franchise, as his new AAV of $20 million ranks sixth in the NFL -- and was higher before Hill, Adams and signed their extensions. The Mack trade was also big. While he's coming off of foot surgery, I still see him as one of the best defensive players in the NFL. Even though he played in just seven games in 2021, he recorded six sacks and 19 combined tackles. He and working the edges should be fun. The other major defensive addition the Chargers made was Jackson, who was considered by many to be the best cornerback available. He has recorded 25 interceptions since entering the NFL in 2018, which leads the league during that timeframe. While he was the headliner, L.A. made a couple of underrated additions on the defensive line with Joseph-Day and Johnson. The Chargers had the third-worst run defense in the NFL last season, and I bet it's improved in 2022.

Lorenzo Cain Jersey and in Akers the Vikings have a former second-round pick who is familiar with O'Connell. Minnesota got extra credit for acquiring Akers for minimal cost.

"(But) we gotta

But Gronk's departure isn't the only reason Tampa Bay sought Jones' help, even with big names like and atop the receiver depth chart."If you look at last year, we got beat up pretty good in the receiver room and we kinda limped to the finish line at the end," Bowles said, "so if you wait 'til midseason, you're not gonna get a good football player, you're gonna be grabbing guys,
