In some respects, the 2025 Nfl The off -season is just beginning. The lists can certainly receive makeups at this time of the year, but often, when they are built to go to the distance, they are forged until summer … and sometimes even in the season. Look no further than the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles, who set the tone Super bowl Lix with a deep ball to Jahan Dotson – an acquisition at the end of August.
In other words, it would be stupid to raft the teams because of their position in March, when in reality, almost a whole calendar year must pass until the next Lombardi trophy is distributed. However, we can also take stock of clubs that seem to advance or late following the first waves of free agency.
Dozens of notable names have now changed teams or won new offers to stay in place, and all of a sudden, the landscape of the Nfl It looks a little different from what he did a few weeks ago. So, what players and teams register as big winners after the first movement? And which one could get in trouble? Here is our point of view:
NFL Free Agency 2025: The 10 best free agents available include Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Stefon Diggs, Plus
Bryan Deardo
Like Justin Fields before him, Caleb Williams did not have the benefit of starting his mandate as a franchise face with adequate protection. So far, it seems. The Bears added not one, not two, but three legitimate starters in advance to Joe Thuney, Drew Dalman and Jonah Jackson. As a bonus, Chicago also fortified the other trenches, putting Grady Jarrett and Dayo Odeyingbo alongside Montez Sweat to give the new defensive coordinator Dennis Allen a four before and physical.
Jerry Jones is not aware of the free agency; It works as if it was five years ago. What, are you not judged for Javonte Williams in the rear field? Kenneth Murray in the secondary? Salomon Thomas in the trenches? It was quite serious that Zack Martin withdrew, putting even more pressure on Dak Prescott to intensify and possess this offense under the new coach Brian Schottenheimer. In truth, cowboys always have players in key places – enough to be disjointed. But where are the differences in difference?
At the start of the offseason, it was not crazy to envisage the SNEADs going “All in” on the future rather than the present. With Matthew Stafford Aging and line fishing for a salary increase, and a young defense emerging like the identity of the club, why not start to sell? Instead, the Rams have not simply kept Stafford; They also kept his best blocker, Alaric Jackson; His underestimated insurance, Jimmy Groppolo; And added a new toy to Davante Adams. Suddenly, another deep race under Sean Mcvay seems plausible.
As a rule, with a promising quarter of a case, you would like to storage on the power of the stars. And that’s what Houston’s Texans have offset. A year later, they are already taking their songs for the spending wave, exchanging a wide range (Stefon Diggs) for another (Christian Kirk) and practically restoring Stroud’s front, including the Player of the Pro Bowl Laremy Tunsil. The defense led by Demeco Ryans should remain fiery, but the franchise signator could still be without robust configuration.
The biggest support show of the Vikings of Minnesota to their choice of rehabilitation of the first round came on March 10, when the team left Sam Darnold to start negotiations with the rest of the Nfl. It was not long before Darnold left elsewhere, according to the traces of Kirk Cousins, and Daniel Jones did the same. Could Vikings still add veteran insurance? Of course. But McCarthy is “The Guy” now, and even better, its O-Line line seems much stronger thanks to the additions of Will Fries and Ryan Kelly.
It is revealing that their biggest step in the offseason so far “refuses to let Kirk Cousins ​​get out of his contract as a safeguard of $ 180 million”. Could the aging quarter-Arrière be useful if Michael Penix Jr. vacillates? We assume. But maybe not behind a missing anchor line, Drew Dalman, or with the support of a defense, betting again on a mercenary – this time Leonard Floyd – to make the head of the pass. There is still time for false to fill the holes in the project, but the veterans market was not too nice here.
Winner: Pete Carroll
The long -standing coach was not going to take the touch line at 73 without pushing a few tokens this season. And although his Las Vegas raiders may not be Super Bowl-Calibre, they certainly seem more formidable than they did a few months ago. The former friend of Seattle Seahawks Geno Smith gives Carroll a familiar face with the talent of the arms to keep things interesting under the center. On the other side, the security of Maxx Crosby and Malcolm Koonce out of the edge should ensure the defensive forehead of Carroll is not either.
