Courtesy of Sportsnaut.com

While 2023 NFL free agency is still going strong, a number of the big-name players are off the board. We’ve also seen multiple blockbuster trades go down.

The backdrop here includes major shake ups at the quarterback position around the league. That includes Derek Carr heading to the New Orleans Saints and Jimmy Garoppolo finding his way to the Las Vegas Raiders. Another domino could soon fall, too.

As teams prepare to go bargain shopping ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft, we figured it was as good of a time as any to provide you with NFL free agency grades for all 32 teams.
