Top 5 Offensive Acquisitions via Free Agency

Offenses have been on the downturn statistically, but the emphasis on weapons in 2024 has made the free agency (and draft) moderately interesting. The affordability of some QBs has also diversified the range, but can you find your franchise's linchpin in the open market?

1. Sam Darnold (87.2 Threat)| Minnesota to Seattle

His resurgence was awesome to see under the guidance of Kevin O'Connell's leadership and earned him a massive deal in Seattle. The future is unsure unless JSN can make about two more leaps into the elite wideout category. Watching Darnold have only one good year so far through his career and then committing the future to him is a little shocking to say the least, but if Mike McDonald and Klint Kubiak can create an atmosphere for him, then it might not have been a one-hit wonder.

2. Daniel Jones (83.8 Threat)| Minnesota to Indianapolis

The Colts invited Danny Dimes into the league's most widely broadcasted QB competition. Anthony Richardson's inefficiency is the culprit, but some forget how effective Jones is with his legs. His elevated Threat rating has plenty to do with his mobility, but as we all know, he leaves plenty to be desired as a signal caller. Shane Steichen has called plays for a highly mobile, not quite effective passer and went to the Super Bowl, which isn't the likely outcome with Jones but a tiny possibility.

3. Najee Harris (78.3 Threat)| Pittsburgh to LAC

Although his elite talent has slightly disappointed thus far, Harris crossing the country and returning home opens some doors. Many believed that the first Harbaugh-led year in LA would be the worst of the tenure, but a playoff appearance built confidence for the Chargers in 2025 and the ex-Steeler could be a move in that direction. A quarterback's best friend is a good run game and that's what the Chargers found out with JK Dobbins. Diversifying the offensive output is what gave Justin Herbert his most efficient season (3rd QB in Threat) in his career.

4. Davante Adams (78.2 Threat)| NYJ to LAR

The reunion between him and Aaron Rodgers went as well as it could have considering both players are out of their primes. Adams, the much younger of the two, still has contributions to make and Sean McVay might be the best manager of them. The Rams are the poster children of the 'win now' mindset since Obama was in office, so bringing in a veteran to go along with Stafford on his new deal followed their philosophy. LA made a choice between Adams and their former Super Bowl MVP, Cooper Kupp, which seemed strange, but Kupp's injuries over the last few seasons haven't made him the proper book end to Puka Nacua.

5. Justin Fields (74.8 Threat)| Pittsburgh to NYJ

Losing your job sucks, but when it's Russell Wilson who takes it, it's even more devastating. Fields' story has centered around unstable environments and some believe that Pittsburgh was the perfect structure for him to be traded to until the switch. His age and mobility endear him to many fans of highlight reel worthy plays, but his passing needs massive work. Aaron Glenn seems to be building a firm foundation with the Jets, which is a greater task than building the Pyramids. Fields has the opportunity to put the doubters to rest similarly to Sam Darnold.
