ESPN analytics writer Seth Walder is grading every big 2023 NFL signing and trade of the offseason. So far, we have broken down 60 deals.
To determine each grade, Walder is evaluating moves based on multiple factors, including on-field impact, salary-cap implications, draft compensation, player value/age and the context of a team's short-term and long-term outlook. How large is the effect of this decision, and how sure are we it's a good or bad choice? How does this affect a team's chance to win the Super Bowl, either this season or in the future? General managers making transactions don't have the luxury of seeing how it all plays out, so neither should we.
