The first round of 2024 NFL free agency transactions had three nice fits and three head-scratchers.

Every year, the first wave of free agency gets more exciting. 

 

With the salary cap at $255 million, we've seen big-money contracts at numerous positions, a running back run, and a safety reshuffle.

 

 The top guard market is expensive, while wide receiver salaries are rising.

 

The game's most crucial position? Justin Fields' fate is unknown, but the quarterback carousel sent Kirk Cousins to Atlanta and Russell Wilson to Pittsburgh, creating opportunities for backups with starting potential.

 

Following 66 quarterback changes last season, NFL teams should appreciate the entire QB room.

 

After the initial excitement, I examined early trends using contextual production data and forward-looking estimates, including contract values.

 

I evaluated each acquisition based on the player's on-field resume and his new team's roster/coaching philosophy, then compared these criteria and contract values to comparable players at the same position.

 

Considering all that, here are three moves with the highest ROI and three that seem suspicious at first.
