Favorite Offseason Additions: NFC West

More of my favorite offseason additions. Today, it’s the NFC West. 

Los Angeles Rams
Allen Robinson, WR, free agency

The Super Bowl champions didn’t need to do much. Instead of sitting, they gave their potent offense a boost with the free agency addition of Allen Robinson II. Despite repeatedly being forced to snare wayward passes from slappy quarterbacks, he’s been one of the league’s better receivers for a few years. Now, he’s in a Sean McVay offense, playing opposite Cooper Kupp, and catching passes from Matthew Stafford. 

Contenders: Logan Bruss, Bobby Wagner

San Francisco 49ers
Charvarius Ward, CB, free agency

The San Francisco 49ers had a fairly quiet offseason. Their focus was probably on a likely quarterback switch. They did jump into the cornerback market and won the bidding for Charvarius Ward. He had developed into a good cornerback for the Kansas City Chiefs. The 49ers hope that he gets even better in their defense. 

Contenders: Drake Jackson, Danny Gray

Arizona Cardinals
Trey McBride, TE, 2nd round pick

Trey McBride was one of my favorite players in the 2022 NFL Draft. The Arizona Cardinals have Zach Ertz at the top of their tight end depth chart. I expect McBride will play his way into considerable opportunities. They Cardinals now have one of the top tight end duos in the league.

Contenders: Marquise Brown, Cameron Thomas

Seattle Seahawks
Charles Cross, OT, 1st round pick

When Russell Wilson was dodging pass rushers, the Seattle Seahawks always seemed reluctant to add high-end offensive line talent in the draft. The offseason that they send Wilson out of town, they use their first round pick on an offensive tackle. Charles Cross was arguably the best pass blocker in the draft. He should be a nice building block as the Seahawks rebuild. 

Contenders: Noah Fant, Abraham Lucas, Shelby Harris

Up Next: AFC North
