Which free-agent move in the division surprised you the most?

Josh Weinfuss, Arizona Cardinals: There were a few moves that caught my attention but none that completely surprised me. The 49ers signed two very good receivers in Pierre Garcon and Marquise Goodwin when they don’t have a clear-cut quarterback, and left tackle Andrew Whitworth got a three-year, $33.75 million contract from the Rams with $15 million guaranteed at 35 years old. The biggest surprise, for me, was the Rams letting Kenny Britt go when they are in the process of building an offense to compete for division titles in the next couple of years. Putting Britt with Tavon Austin and Robert Woods to provide a passing game -- for which Whitworth would block -- could open up Todd Gurley in the running game. It seems like an obvious way to begin a new era with a young quarterback.

Alden Gonzalez, Los Angeles Rams: I was surprised, mostly, that the Seahawks didn’t do more for their offensive line. The Seahawks are a win-now team, and offensive line play was a major issue throughout 2016. It was a tough free-agent market -- and it’s expected to be a thin draft -- at tackle. But adding former No. 2 overall pick Luke Joeckel doesn’t seem like enough. He was given $8 million for one year, so it isn’t all that much of a long-term risk. But he struggled to keep his job with the Jaguars and then tore his ACL. Now it looks like the Seahawks are asking him to step in as their new left tackle. Perhaps they should’ve instead tried to spend more on someone such as Riley Reiff or Rick Wagner to solidify their offensive line. A close second in the surprise category: just how much the Cardinals lost on defense, most notably defensive end Calais Campbell, safety Tony Jefferson and cornerback Marcus Cooper.

Nick Wagoner, San Francisco 49ers: The Rams' heavy investment in offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth at the age of 35. It's not that the Rams didn't desperately need to upgrade at left tackle or that Whitworth isn't worth the money, especially if he can at least help give the Rams a fair and real chance to evaluate quarterback Jared Goff. It's surprising because it feels like a move a contending team would make that could help put it over the top, rather than a move a rebuilding team like the Rams would make while transitioning to a new coaching staff. It's as surprising that Whitworth didn't seek to land with a team that could give him a chance at a championship before he retires.

Sheil Kapadia, Seattle Seahawks: The Rams signing Robert Woods. In theory, their idea made sense: Find weapons for Goff. In practice, the five-year, $39 million deal ($15 million guaranteed) to Woods is a complete head-scratcher. Since entering the league, Woods ranks 82nd in yards per reception (12.07), 160th in yards after catch (2.88 per reception) and 124th in catch percentage (60.0 percent). In other words, he has not shown the tools to suggest he can stretch the field or make plays with the ball in his hands. He hasn’t been very efficient, either. Why not take a flier on a higher-ceiling option such as Alshon Jeffery or Terrelle Pryor? Maybe the Rams identified something in Woods that no one else saw, but given their track record, that seems unlikely.
