We are well in the new year of the league now, and if we are honest, the free agency is almost entirely over. The most important and impactful offers tend to occur during the period of legal falsification these days, and this phase of the offseason is now in the rear view mirror.
Although there are still a lot of signatures in the coming days and weeks, it is now as good as anything to take stock of what we have seen so far. With at least 160 free agent offers already signed, According to SpotracThere are a lot to go into a sieve when we are looking for the best signatures of good deals to date.
As we usually do during the exercise of this exercise, we established some rules when determining what is a good deal. The first and most important rule is that the player’s contract had to be for less than $ 10 million a year. (This excludes guys like Kristian Fulton, who obtained two years and 20 million dollars from chiefs.) Second, we tried to limit him to players changing the teams, although we made a re-snering in there because the value was too good to pass.
And so without further delay, the 10 best free agency negotiations so far.
2025 Winners and losers from the NFL Free Agency: Evan Engram boosts the Broncos; Are the Steelers await Aaron Rodgers?
Tyler Sulliva
Ford comes out of a truly solid year with the loads in which he picked up 21 race stops and 23 pressures, according to Pro Football Focus. He is a very good racing cap and he has flashed ultra-urch in recent seasons. The Rams kept it in Los Angeles and did it for three years and 27.6 million dollars.
Zeitler has become a kind of mercenary offensive line player. He continues to be well paid to go to a new team and help consolidate the interior because he continues to work. Woods, on the other hand, is one of the most sustainable and reliable security in the League, having played 90% of the shots of its team or more each year since 2018. Titans have obtained Zeitler for $ 9 million and Woods for two years and 10 million dollars.
The cowboys let Dowdle walk to sign Javonte Williams, then Dowdle quickly signed a contract with a lower basic value, but more on the rise when he returned home in Caroline. Dowdle had one of the most precipitated success rates in the Nfl Last season and led the League in the share of the races on which it produced at least 3 meters after contact. And the panthers obtained it between $ 3 million and $ 6.25 million.
The raiders certainly needed to reform the second level of their defense, with all the free agents waiting, they had this offseason, and they won two beautiful values ​​here. Chinn has just played a very happy year for Dan Quinn in Washington, and Quinn is, of course, a member of the Pete Carroll coaching tree. And Roberts still brings together solid seasons, then gets used in negotiations in a free agency. Chinn obtained $ 16.25 million over two years and Roberts only cost $ 3 million.
NWI is surprisingly arose with a top of nine affected for Tennessee last year. He has definitely ran hot in deep bullets, but dolphins don’t really need him to be more than a deep threat to the situation, and he can do it. Melifonwu missed most of last season with an injury, but was a very good player in 2023, finally coming after two years not to do much to start his career. Westbrook-Ikhine was carried out for only two years and $ 6.5 million, while Melifonwu obtained $ 3 million.
Edge Michael must, Bills
This signature will not receive as much game as the other addition of bills on the edge, but I really like it. Hoecht had 13.5 bags in a rotation role for rams in recent years, but his measures by Snap have always looked good. Its 11%pressure rate last season, according to Trumedia, was tied with players like Travon Walker (also 11%) and just south of Joey Bosa (11.5%). He went to Buffalo for three years and $ 21 million.
Golston has also transformed into a very nice player in recent years in Dallas, and detaches from what was probably his best season. He can play on the edge and inside, and he should really help the giants against the race. He obtained $ 19.5 million over three years to go to New Jersey.
We gave the Lions an “A” for the re-signing of Onwuzurike in our free agency notes of day 3.
Onwuzurike was one of the few Lions defenders to stay healthy for most of last season, and he played well in the middle of the defensive line. He reached a 61% of defensive steaming summit, ended the year with 20 race stops (by Pro Football Focus) and his 11.7% pressure rate, via Trumedia, was actually higher than that of Alim McNeill, his partner inside.
On a one -year contract, $ 5.5 million, it is a flight.
Gainwell is just a really solid balloon no. 2. It is great in the protection against passes and the two -minute exercise, and it excels in the creation of yards after taking. It is not the most effective runner, but it is probably not what Pittsburgh has brought it. And on a one -year -old case of $ 1.8 million, it is very cheap.
The Vikings will have a good turnover in secondary school next season after half their defensive rear has hit the free agency. They were going to make some changes, and they brought Rodgers as a low cost alternative to play in front of Byron Murphy. It is not a closing corner, but it is physical and behaved well when called to Philly. He has just obtained $ 11 million over two years.
