I realize free agency is only a few days old, but, as of today what team has improved the most?

As much as I do not want to say it, I think the Jets have done the best job so far. Two solid guards and a LB is a pretty good start. Along with this they have made some trades to get more picks towards the draft. I do not see any team that did better.

I know we resigned some of our own players but I would not say the Pats improved through agency as of yet.

You're asking two different questions. The Jets have done the most, and yes, probably improved their team the most on paper, but that doesn't necessarily mean the signings have been smart or will make them a contender in '08. I'd argue that they should have continued to rebuild instead of overspending on veterans, so I don't think they've done the best at all.

Personally, I like the moves the Browns have made, since they were a team right on the cusp already.

Yeah the Jets have improved to 7-9.

The Browns have made some great moves

If Vilma can come back healthy the Saints got a major steal there and I would say that would be the best move so far, but we wont find out until the season starts.

That is actually what I am wondering. You could say that they over spent but they have made some bigs steps to improve their swiss cheese OL that could pay off greatly for them.

They are also well situated for the draft with the trades they made.

I like what the Browns have done. Stallworth will be the perfect compliment to what they have going with Edwards and Winslow, and at least on paper, their run defense has improved dramatically with the two new interior lineman.

The Jets have taken a page out of Daniel Snyder's offseason playbook, which is to throw boat loads of cash at everyone. Signing o-linemen over the age of 30 with double digit guaranteed money is not smart business.

Gotta say the Browns are the winners so far. They haven't overpaid anyone but have still made significant improvements.

Tough to say a team like the Jets are best, as they have to hit on literally all of their FAs or the contracts will sink the class.

BradyFTW!

Sure, the Jets have debatably improved their team the most (I'd argue the Brown, but the Jets are right up there). That said, they overpaid everyone that they signed, and are in the process of murdering any potential cap flexibility that they could have down the line. Therefore, I'd say that, though they have been most active, they certainly have not been the best. In fact, one thing that you'll notice if you take a step back is that the teams that are the most active in free agency in the first couple of days typically aren't the consistent contenders, and that isn't a coincidence.

Mr.Muhozi

the jets with all the moves they have made, have overpaid and over valued their players, i would not be surprised if they have to cut some of their draftees due to cap issues, or they starts the 09 season over the cap limit

I like what NO has done. Bobby McCray, Vilma and Randall Gay are all effort team first players. NO is well positioned at #10 to further address defense. Keith Rivers would rd out the LB corps nicely.

I don't like the Shaun Rogers trade for the Browns. He is a total boom/bust player. Maybe it'll work out, but I don't see how anyone can be giddy about it. Now they have no 1st 2nd 3rd or 5th rd picks. Genius. Savage is a very overrated talent evaluator. He pushed C. Frye on Romeo, who wanted D. Anderson all along. Finally Romeo got his way and dumped Frye, and now Savage can't stop crowing about what a genius he is. Then he trades up for Quinn in rd 1, and signs Anderson to an $8 million a year contract, declaring Quinn won't have an opportunity to compete for the starting position. So why'd he draft him in rd 1? Fraud.

The Jets are spending like drunken sailors on crack whores. Whoop-de-damn-do, to quote Derrick Coleman.
