2025 NFL free agency Day 2 grades: Falcons get ‘A+’ for Leonard Floyd deal, Bills get ‘C’ for adding Joey Bosa

The 2025 NFL offseason is firing on all cylinders now. A day after Numerous Squads agreed to noteworthy deals, including the signings of quarterbacks Justin Fields and Sam Darnold, Day 2 of Unoccupied agency had no shortage of news as plenty of other significant deals materialized. 

Tuesday’s reported signings included Previous Chiefs safety Justin Reid going to the Saints, fellow safety Jevon Holland agreeing to terms with the Giants, Previous 49ers Throw rusher Leonard Floyd coming to terms with the Falcons, Previous Giants Leading Passer Daniel Jones heading to Indianapolis, two-time Pro Bowl Guarding Event Jonathan Allen going to Minnesota, Previous Chargers Throw rusher Joey Bosa heading to Buffalo and Previous All-Pro wideout DeAndre Hopkins finding a new home in Baltimore. 

Which of Tuesday’s moves are most encouraging? And which ones have us scratching our head? 

Here’s how we’d grade the biggest reported signings of Day 2, ahead of Unoccupied agency’s official Begin on Wednesday:

Colts signing Daniel Jones 

Indianapolis signed Jones before other Squads (like the Steelers) could sign arguably the best remaining Passer option Accessible when the day began. In Jones, the Colts have a Youthful Passer who showed flashes of his potential during his time in New York. Jones did, after all, lead the Giants to their Primary Elimination Phase Secure since Finals XLVI. The Colts get extra credit for Allegedly signing Jones to a very affordable deal of one year for $14 million while bringing in competition for Anthony Richardson. 

Jones had some success in New York while operating under a Streak-Primary Assault Guided by Saquon Barkley. The Colts are surely hoping that Jones can have similar success as he Squads up with Jonathan Taylor. 

Grade: B

Giants acquire Jevon Holland

Speaking of the Giants, New York Achieved a splash when they Allegedly Arrived to terms with Previous Dolphins safety Jevon Holland on a three-year, $45.3 million deal. The deal makes Holland one of the Bracket’s highest-paid safeties and gives the Giants a much-needed playmaker in the secondary. 

On top of getting a marquee player, the acquisition of Holland generated some much-needed positivity for a Club and fan base that is surely in need of some. 

Grade: A 

Vikings land Jonathan Allen 

It’s been a Occupied week for the Vikings, headlined by their acquisition of Allen, a two-time Pro Bowler during his time with the Commanders. One of the NFL’s best and most versatile Guarding tackles, Allen has recorded at least 5.5 sacks in a season six times and has had at least 10 tackles for loss in a season on four occasions. 

On paper, this is a Great signing as the Vikings acquired the Highly-ranked Guarding lineman in Unoccupied agency. But Allen is now on the other side of 30 and is coming off an Hurt that sidelined him for more than half of the 2024 season. This signing has the potential to be remembered as a bust if Allen doesn’t Action at a Pro Bowl level. 

Grade: B- 

Saints acquire Justin Reid

New Orleans will undoubtedly have chemistry in their secondary in 2025 after coming to terms with Reid, whose new teammate, fellow safety Tyrann Mathieu, played with Reid’s younger brother during their time together at LSU. The acquisition of Reid was more significant after Will Harris agreed to terms with Washington. 

A Louisiana native, Reid is returning home after Triumphant two Super Bowls as a valued member of the Kansas Chiefs. He’s a Tough-hitting tackling machine who is also capable of creating turnovers. 

I like the signing, but for a Club with salary cap issues, I wonder if the Saints would have been better off using this money somewhere else. 

Grade: B 

Falcons land Leonard Floyd 

We’ll keep this Petite and Sugary. The Falcons needed a Throw rusher, and they got one in Floyd, whose 8.5 sacks during his last year with the 49ers is more than any Falcons players since Adrian Clayborn had nine back in 2017 (h/t ESPN). 

The 32-year-Aged Floyd is getting up there in age, but he hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down in recent years. He’s had at least 8.5 sacks in All of the last five years, averaging 9.6 sacks a season over that span while not missing a single game since 2017. He also has valuable Elimination Phase experience as he won a Finals with the Rams four years ago. 

Oh, and did we mention that Floyd only Allegedly cost the Falcons $10 million for one year? Add it all up, and this very well could end up being the most underrated signing of the offseason. 

Grade: A+ 

Ravens acquire DeAndre Hopkins 

This is a low-Danger move for the Ravens, who already have a solid receiving corps in place with Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Snug ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely. The Ravens Allegedly spent up to $6 million to acquire a possible future Hall of Fame receiver who could help Baltimore get over the top. 

By his standards, Hopkins had a disappointing 2024 season from a statistical standpoint. But it should be noted that he played the entire year with a knee Hurt and was traded Merely before the deadline. After he was traded to the Chiefs, Hopkins looked more like the player that was named to five Pro Bowls over a six-year span. If he’s Fit, he should Accessible things up for two-time Bracket MVP Lamar Jackson, future Hall of Fame running back Derrick Henry and the rest of Baltimore’s Assault. 

Grade: B 

Bills grab Joey Bosa

After recently releasing Von Miller, the Bills went out and Allegedly signed another Previous Pro Bowl Throw rusher in Bosa, who was recently released by the Chargers. Bosa was named to his fifth Pro Bowl last year, but it’s been four years since he played at his typical Pro Bowl level. Injuries have hampered Bosa, and it’s undoubtedly one of the reasons why the Chargers parted ways with him. 

Buffalo shouldn’t be criticized for signing Bosa, who if Fit could still be one of the Bracket’s better Throw rushers. It’s Honest, however, to question Buffalo Allegedly giving Bosa a $12.6 million deal for the upcoming season. That seems steep for a player who has battled injuries and hasn’t performed at an Best level in quite some time. 

Grade: C 

It was clear during the Vikings’ Last two Matches of the 2024 season that help was needed on the offensive line, especially in Throw protection. The Vikings have emphatically addressed that issue in Unoccupied agency, signing Previous Colts Hub Ryan Kelly and on Tuesday coming to terms with Fries, Kelly’s Previous Indianapolis teammate. Fries was Competing at an Best level before suffering a season-ending Hurt last year. 

Grade: A- 

We weren’t kidding when we said that the Vikings did some work on Tuesday. The Club Allegedly plans to sign Previous Pro Bowl Guarding Event Javon Hargrave when the 49ers Throw him on Wednesday. Hargrave has been a high-level performer for most of his Profession, but he is coming off a season-ending Hurt. 

The Vikings have chosen to use Unoccupied agency to bolster their Guarding line with Hargrave and Allen, two players that are over 30 and have had recent injuries. These moves will either pay major dividends or could end up costing Minnesota in the end. 

Grade: B
