Key

  • UFA: Unrestricted free agent; a player who has completed four or more accrued seasons and whose contract has expired.
  • RFA: Restricted free agent; a player who has completed three accrued seasons and whose contract has expired.
  • Released: A player released by his team with years remaining on his contract.
  • Franchised: A restricted or unrestricted free agent who was designated a franchise player. The designation gives the club a first-refusal right to match within seven days an offer sheet. If the club matches, it retains the player. If it does not match, it receives two first-round draft choices as compensation.
  • Grade: After watching film and evaluating players, our scouts have assigned each a numeric grade from 40-100.

Grading Scale

  • 90-100: Elite Player
    Player demonstrates rare abilities and can create mismatches that have an obvious impact on the game. ... Premier NFL player who has all the skills to consistently play at a championship level. ... Rates as one of the top players at his position in the league.
  • 80-89: Outstanding Player
    Player has abilities to create mismatches versus most opponents in the NFL. ... A feature player who has an impact on the outcome of the game. ... Cannot be shut down by a single player and plays on a consistent level week in and week out.
  • 70-79: Good Starter
    Solid starter who is close to being an outstanding player. ... Has few weaknesses and usually will win his individual matchup but does not dominate in every game, especially when matched up against the top players in the league.
  • 60-69: Average Starter
    A valuable roster player but not a dominant player against the better players he faces on a weekly basis. ... Gives great effort and teams are glad to have him, but he may or may not go to the next level.
  • 50-59: Good Backup
    This is a player who is really on the bubble and only starts because of a deficiency at the position. ... He lacks complete overall skills, and although he will battle, he will hinder his team's ability to play at a championship level if he is forced to be in the starting lineup consistently over a 16-game season. Teams don't mind having him on the roster but are always looking to upgrade.
  • 40-49: Below Average Backup/Core Special Teamers
    Strictly a backup player who is not capable of starting. If forced to, he is only a short-term fix. ... He might make the roster because of special-teams contributions or experience. ... He is the type of player teams consistently look to replace with an upgrade. ... He always will be a borderline roster player.
  • 30: Rookie (Post-draft)
    No professional tape to evaluate. These players will have an evaluation based on their college tape, but we will not put a new grade on them until after their rookie seasons. They will carry the 30 grade throughout their first NFL season.
  • 20: Developmental Player
    Players with this grade have very little film to evaluate. Such players might flash potential in the preseason but don't have any regular-season performances to judge. they usually have very little experience but have to be tracked due to developmental potential.
  • 10: Evaluation in Process
