Which NFL Teams Made Shocking Gains—and Who Got Left Behind—After Free Agency’s First Big Wave?
NFL Teams With Biggest Ratings Increase
Cleveland Browns (+6.81)
The Brownsâ positive movement is a good sign the roster is relatively stable despite no clear plan at quarterback yet. The addition of quarterback Kenny Pickett is technically an upgrade over the originally presumed starter Dorian Thompson-Robinson, but the Brownsâ offseason decisions indicate either a rookie or veteran will join the club before the start of the 2025 season.
As for the Brownsâ other moves, the retention of Myles Garrett is the biggest one. Losing him would have dropped Clevelandâs rating significantly. The addition of defensive tackle Maliek Collins is crucial as well. The Browns lacked size up front alongside Shelby Harris and while Collins isnât a world beater, he gives Cleveland around the same pressure production as Dalvin Tomlinson who left in free agency, although he’s a downgrade against the run.
