Assessing Offseason Movement for All 16 NFC Teams

Brandon Marshall, the prize of the Bears' stellar offseason

Earlier today, we assessed the AFC teams.  This post looks at the NFC.  As with the AFC, we've looked specifically at a few NFC teams throughout the offseason, including the Redskins, Bears, Bucs, Rams, Vikings, and the entire NFC East.  As before, some values have changed due to player movement during training camp.

See the AFC post for full methodology.  Cliff notes:

1. Just non-rookies are considered.  No draft picks; they're assessed here.  (No UFAs either.)
2. Each player gets a rating based on PFR's AV rating:

2009 AV + 2 x 2010 AV + 3 x 2011 AV

3. The sum of the values of players leaving the roster from last year to this year is subtracted from the sum of the values of the players entering the roster from last year to this year.  The result is the net value gained / lost.

4. Since more accomplished players are typically replaced with younger, less accomplished ones, most teams (all but one this year) had net negative values.

As our picture impiles, the top offseason in the NFC - and the entire NFL - belongs to the Chicago Bears.  Full list after the jump . . .
