2025 NFL free agency grades: Team-by-team marks as Vikings address major needs, retooling 49ers fail

Grading each team through the first two weeks of NFL free agency
The most exciting parts of NFL free agency are unfortunately over, and I do hope you had the time of your life. We saw the quarterback carousel spin in unanticipated directions, the Minnesota Vikings loaded up on talent for new starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy and the Carolina Panthers revamped their defense.
It was a defensive lineman that signed the largest contract in free agency this year, as former Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Milton Williams is headed to the New England Patriots on a four-year, $104 million deal. Sam Darnold's $100.5 million deal with the Seattle Seahawks is the second-largest contract in total value that was not a re-signing, but how it's structured is reportedly like a one-year deal. It would appear the former No. 3 overall pick did indeed cost himself money and long-term security with how the 2024 season ended.
Who has had the best offseason thus far, and who has had the worst? I'm glad you asked. Let's grade each team through two weeks of free agency, beginning with Jonathan Gannon's squad out in Glendale.
