The Green Bay Packers made a significant investment in their offensive line by signing Aaron Banks to a four-year, $77 million deal, raising questions about whether the move was justified given his inconsistent performance. The Packers will likely shift Elgton Jenkins to center, a position he has played sparingly, potentially exacerbating their pass protection woes. Comparatively, Ryan Kelly's move to the Minnesota Vikings for $18 million over two years raises eyebrows about the decision, considering his superior pass-blocking metrics.

In an equally puzzling decision, the Indianapolis Colts opted to sign Camryn Bynum for $60 million over Jevon Holland, who secured a deal with the New York Giants at a cheaper rate while boasting better coverage stats. Holland's metrics suggest he would have been a more strategic choice for a team looking to enhance its defensive backfield. Additionally, the Dallas Cowboys' linebacker signings of Jack Sanborn and Kenneth Murray Jr. highlight their cautious approach in free agency, despite their past struggles against the run.
