2024 NFL offseason: Key free agency moves for all 32 teams - ESPN

We're still a few days away from NFL free agency, but teams are already thinking about which new players they want to add to their rosters. The franchise tag deadline is March 5, and free agency opens March 13 — though the negotiation window opens two days earlier. Not every team is extremely active in free agency, but usually every team picks up at least one key veteran.

Below, I suggest one important free agent signing for each team. I established a couple of rules for this exercise: I picked only one free agent for each team, and only one team for each free agent. I also didn't assign any player to return to his current team, even on the franchise tag.

As always, I use my DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average) metric and DYAR (defense-adjusted yards above replacement) stats, which are explained further here.

Who represents the best match for all 32 teams? Let's get started.

CB Kenny Moore II (IND)

The Cowboys once again had a strong defense in 2023, ranking fifth in DVOA, and they're getting cornerback Trevon Diggs back from his torn ACL. However, both Stephon Gilmore and Jourdan Lewis are free agents, and they could use an upgrade at slot cornerback with Diggs and DaRon Bland holding down the outside.

Enter Moore, possibly the league's top slot corner. He ranked 11th last season in coverage DVOA among all corners with at least 300 coverage snaps. The Colts ranked 25th covering outside wide receivers but third covering wide receivers in the slot. Moore also helps in run defense, ranking second among all corners with 43 combined run
