Created: May 7, 2009, 10:47 AM

How did the Jets fare this offseason?

There was plenty of player movement this NFL offseason with Matt Cassel, Jay Cutler, Albert Haynesworth, Terrell Owens and Jason Peters, among others, moving to new teams. But what can often appear as a successful offseason does not always translate to on-field success in this league, just ask the Washington Redskins.

John Clayton has come up with a list of ten teams he feels most helped themselves this spring through free agency and the NFL draft. But does SportsNation agree with Clayton's rankings?

Scroll over each team image to see whom they've added this offseason as well as where the teams fall in Clayton's rankings.
