The number in parenthesis represents the number of points each team has. Teams began these power rankings in their first week with a number of points inverse to their standing in the rankings.
For example, the Patriots began as the #1 ranked team, so they started out with 32 points.
Transactions and the number of points granted this week for each transaction are listed beneanth each team's name and ranking.
. . .
6. Patriots (25 pts)
7. NJ Jets (25 pts)
8. Falcons (25 pts)
+1 Signing LB Ike Reese -- A very good move for depth, but not a top flight starter.
9. Bills (24 pts)
10. Ravens (24 pts)
-1 Loss of CB Gary Baxter to Cleveland.
+2 Signing LB Samari Rolle -- Why is the loss of Baxter a -1 but the signing of Rolle a +2? I believe that Rolle is the superior CB AND Baxter is not as good as believed. He (Baxter) benefitted from playing with S Ed Reed. Rolle, being the better player, will see greater benefit from the same situation.
. . .
26. Buccaneers (8 pts)
27. Raiders (6 pts)
28. Bears (5 pts)
29. Miami (5 pts)
+1 Signing LB Donnie Spragan from Denver -- Weather he starts or has to settle for another supporting role, Spragan is a big gun just coming into his own.
30. Browns (4)
+1 Signing QB Trent Dilfer from Seatlle -- Dilfer is smart, reliable and tough. Don't be surprised if he's starting on opening day.
