Ranking the 25 Best Moves of the 2024 NFL Offseason | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

15. Jets Keep Swinging, Trade for Haason Reddick

Although the Jets should not wreck a half-decade of finances in pursuit of a Super Bowl, they definitely need to chase a ring in Aaron Rodgers' final seasons. They watched Bryce Huff leave in free agency, so shipping a conditional third-round pick for Haason Reddick was a wise pivot. He's produced in 11-plus sacks in four consecutive years.

14. Chiefs Bring in Marquise Brown

All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce clearly can carry a pass-catching corps. Simultaneously, the Kansas City Chiefs had underwhelming group of receivers after Rashee Rice in 2023. They snatched Marquise Brown for a modest $7 million in a high-upside move. Brown's production dipped on bad Arizona Cardinals teams recently, but he was a 1,000-yard target for the Baltimore Ravens during the 2021 campaign.

13. Packers Add Xavier McKinney, Revamp Safety Unit

While a potential-filled, young offense aims to develop around Jordan Love, the Packers rebuilt the back end of the defense. They embraced a youth movement at safety that is focused on Xavier McKinney, who racked up 116 tackles last season and turns 26 in August. His four-year contract has a pricey $67 million sticker, yet only $23 million is guaranteed.

12. Lions Bolster CB Group with Carlton Davis

Sticking in the NFC North, the Detroit Lions enjoyed a breakout year in 2023. However, the defense ranked 31st with 7.8 yards allowed per pass attempt. Before selecting Terrion Arnold in the draft, the Lions traded for veteran Carlton Davis. He had a subpar 2023 but excelled in recent years. If he regains that previous form, Davis will be a major upgrade and well-worth the third-round selection dealt.

11. Texans Sign Danielle Hunter

Meanwhile, the Houston Texans are firmly in "go for it" mode, too. CJ Stroud's outstanding debut has accelerated the team's contention timeline, and his rookie contract helped the Texans make two splashy adds. On the defensive side, they attracted Danielle Hunter with a two-year, $49 million pact. He just registered 16.5 sacks in 2023 and is even a possible upgrade to Jon Greenard, who essentially replaced Hunter on the Minnesota Vikings.
