Dolphins, Broncos and Giants tied for the best free agency grade. Bengals and Chiefs got the only two "F" grades.

Miami Dolphins

Re-signing cornerback Brent Grimes was huge, as was retaining defensive tackle Randy Starks. Tackle Branden Albert was the big addition, defensive backs Louis Delmas and Cortland Finnegan can help if healthy, defensive lineman Earl Mitchell replaces Paul Soliai and running back Knowshon Moreno fills a need. All in all, pretty nice work.

Grade: A

Here is the rest of the AFC East:

New England Patriots

The best player to switch teams in free agency was cornerback Darrelle Revis, and New England got him. Anything else was a bonus. They did re-sign receiver Julian Edelman, which was needed, and grabbed receiver Brandon LaFell and cornerback Brandon Browner. Getting Vince Wilfork back on a re-worked deal was good, as well. Go back to Revis, though. They got him. That makes them a free-agency winner.

Grade: A-minus

New York Jets

Breno Giacomini replaces Austin Howard at right tackle, Dimitri Patterson replaces Antonio Cromartie at cornerback and Michael Vick replaces Mark buttfumble at quarterback. Seems like a couple lateral moves (at best) and maybe one upgrade if Vick stays healthy. It comes down to how you feel about receiver Eric Decker’s five-year, $36.25 million deal. Considering what the Jets have had at receiver for years, it’s not that bad.

Grade: B-minus

Buffalo Bills

When you lose one of the top free agents on the market (safety Jairus Byrd), it’s tough to recover. But some solid signings at linebacker in Brandon Spikes and Keith Rivers help. Giving below-average guard Chris Williams $13.5 million over four years was a bit confusing, however.

Grade: D

2 things I love about this article...

1) they gave the Dolphins an A
2) they referred to Mark buttfumble as Mark buttfumble


Edit:
one of mods made it so typing S A N C H E Z ends up as buttfumble? Bravo sir
 
I also think we have done pretty damn well addressing needs so far ... good find, Nubs.



Also: Sanchez :lol:
 
better than the Dirty Sanchez we customarily receive from the media.
 
buttfumble

EDIT: ^THIS is the best thing I have seen all week!
 
If it was Ireland, they probably would of given us a C or D. I don't think anyone in this country liked the guy. I would say world, but most outside of this country do not know who the hell he is.
 
lol - buttfumble!!! buttfumble!!! buttfumble


Edit - ^^ LMAO
 
Mark buttfumble Mark buttfumble buttfumble buttfumble - this is freaking amazing

well if the grade is high that's good on the board. I do agree but we did pretty good in free agency at least on surface.

Albert good pickup liked Monroe better esp for his contract, Finnagan not sure Hickey was sober on that one, seems like he overbid himself. Moreno good pickup.
Delmas kind of split on, Smith not a fan of, the DT is not an upgrade to me and we could have used money elsewhere in my opinion,
