NFL Offseason Power Moves: The Top 5 Deals Ranked

1. Kirk Cousins to Atlanta

You can make a pretty strong case that the Atlanta Falcons would have been a playoff team last season if they had a real starting quarterback. The Falcons had multiple options to pursue at the position this offseason and chose to play it safe by signing Kirk Cousins. Although Cousins has yet to lead a team to a Super Bowl, he brings a level of consistency to the position that the team has been searching for since the departure of Matt Ryan. With the moves that the Falcons have made this offseason and the high-end youth they boast on offense, don't be surprised if this team is a real dark horse Super Bowl contender when they take the field in September. With the jump this team can take with Cousins at the helm, it's hard to justify this move anywhere but the top.

4. Steelers sign Wilson, Trade Pickett

It's one thing to make a mistake in the first round of the NFL Draft with a quarterback; it's another to have the intelligence to know it's not working and move on. The Steelers front office made a blunder in selecting Kenny Pickett, whose true colors showed when the team signed Russell Wilson to kick off free agency. The Steelers then moved Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles and dealt for Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears. The Steelers completely reshaped their quarterback room this offseason and did so in a commendable fashion. It's Wilson's job to lose at quarterback, while Fields can take the clipboard and learn some pointers from the future Hall of Famer. Win-win.

3. Bills Trade Diggs to Texans

The relationship between Stefon Diggs and the Buffalo Bills never felt quite right. It always felt like there was some animosity between both parties, and that came to a head after Diggs was dealt to the Houston Texans. The Texans acquired a veteran wide receiver who can help elevate C.J. Stroud on his rookie contract. There's more to this story when you factor in the dead cap charges the Bills have with Diggs. How will Buffalo shape their wide receiver room with Diggs out of the picture?

2. Chiefs Retain Chris Jones on Long-Term Deal

One thing is clear: the Kansas City Chiefs have recognized Chris Jones's importance to the defense. There was always a question about how the Chiefs would handle the Jones situation this offseason after winning back-to-back Super Bowls. They laid their cards on the table after placing the franchise tag on L'Jarius Sneed and allowing him to seek a trade. Despite Sneed playing a crucial role on defense, the Chiefs valued Jones more, giving him the monster payday he'd been searching for. The Chiefs have been good at knowing when to move on from players. Time will tell if it's the right decision, but keeping Jones in the fold is an intelligent business decision.
