Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

The AFC North is always up for grabs as it is the most competitive division in the NFL, as it was in 2014. At one point, all 4 teams were at least two games above .500, something which had never been done before at such a point in the season before in NFL history.

As fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns start to look ahead to the 2015 NFL Draft on April 30th, it is time to update the free agent acquisitions and departures from every team in the division before new talent is added to roster via the draft.
