What happened: ESPN has published its 2026 NFL offseason grades, evaluating every team's draft class, trades, free-agent signings, and roster moves across the league. Each of the 32 franchises receives a mark assessing how well it addressed needs and positioned itself for the upcoming season.

Why it matters: Offseason grades set the narrative heading into training camp, framing which teams closed the gap on contenders and which ones failed to fix glaring holes. The moves being graded — draft capital, cap decisions, and veteran acquisitions — will shape the competitive balance of the 2026 season and each team's playoff outlook.

What to watch: Watch how these graded rosters translate once training camps open and preseason play begins, with the 2026 regular season as the real test of the offseason's winners and losers.
