The New Orleans Saints are no strangers to navigating uncertain waters. From the post-Drew Brees transition to the revolving door of head coaches, the franchise has spent the last several years trying to reclaim its former glory. In 2025, that search for stability takes yet another sharp turn. This time, they have to deal with […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers aren’t acting like a team in transition. Recall that they are coming off a season that saw them emerge as one of the more balanced teams in the NFC. Now, they’ve doubled down on keeping the core intact and building from within. There’s a certain confidence—bordering on boldness—in how general manager […]

Every offseason, even the most well-run franchises make at least one decision that invites second-guessing. For the Baltimore Ravens, 2025 has been largely business as usual—until it wasn’t. The Ravens are entering the new season as one of the top-ranked teams and for good reason. Their roster is deep, their quarterback is elite, and their […]

The Cleveland Browns are no strangers to turbulence. Over the past few seasons, the franchise has lurched from one head-scratching headline to the next. However, heading into the 2025 NFL offseason, there was a distinct air of urgency. The highly polarizing Deshaun Watson had torn his Achilles—twice in a span of four months. For a […]

For the better part of two decades, the New England Patriots thrived on stability, discipline, and next-man-up pragmatism. However, since the post-Tom Brady descent began, that aura of invincibility gave way to inconsistency and irrelevance. After a dismal 2024 campaign that saw glimpses of promise from rookie quarterback Drake Maye and cornerback Christian Gonzalez—yet little […]

The Buffalo Bills entered the 2025 NFL offseason at a crossroads familiar to elite contenders. Once again, they were close enough to a Super Bowl to feel the urgency. Of course, they were also talented enough to avoid overcorrection. After falling short in a razor-thin AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo could […]

For the first time in years, the Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves staring down the barrel of instability. That’s not just on the field but at the most important position in the game. Remember that they just parted ways with three quarterbacks in one offseason. As such, the franchise is bracing for what could be its […]

With a disappointing end to their 2024 season, the Kansas City Chiefs entered the offseason with clear needs to address in free agency. After suffering from one of the worst run games all season, the Chiefs addressed one of those areas by signing running back Elijah Mitchell. Coming off a lopsided loss to the Philadelphia […]

The Cincinnati Bengals are once again under the spotlight—this time for all the wrong reasons. Two critical defensive players, Trey Hendrickson and Shemar Stewart, are staging offseason absences that reflect deeper issues in the organization’s approach to NFL contract negotiations. The Hendrickson contract dispute has escalated, with the veteran edge rusher openly criticizing the Bengals’ […]

The New Orleans Saints aren’t likely to sign Aaron Rodgers this offseason. Rodgers had a very short answer when asked at a question-and-answer session in Austin, Texas, if he would consider playing for the Saints. “No,” Rodgers simply said. Rodgers made an appearance at a Q-A session with a podcaster known as Mike. Mike works […]

For decades, the Chicago Bears have been synonymous with a revolving door at quarterback and head coach. The franchise’s recent history has been marred by instability and underachievement. They have endured offensive ineptitude as the defining theme of the post-Lovie Smith era. However, 2025 feels different. For once, Chicago didn’t settle. It didn’t play too […]

The San Francisco 49ers didn’t just tinker with their roster this offseason. They tore it down and reassembled it around one essential cornerstone: quarterback Brock Purdy. As other teams scramble to find their signal-caller of the future, San Francisco doubled down on theirs. They rewarded Purdy with a five-year, $265 million extension. It’s a massive […]

Few NFL franchises generate drama quite like the Dallas Cowboys. From the moment Jerry Jones announced Mike McCarthy’s departure, the league was watching. When the Cowboys promoted Brian Schottenheimer, it was a decision that raised more eyebrows than cheers. For a team with Super Bowl ambitions and the talent to match, this was a risky […]

Winning the Super Bowl is an incredible feat. Repeating is rarer still—and exponentially more difficult. For the Philadelphia Eagles, the 2025 offseason wasn’t about celebration. It was about preparation. They now wear the bullseye. As every contender sharpens its roster to dethrone them, general manager Howie Roseman knew the Eagles had to play chess, not […]

The Green Bay Packers are no strangers to measured decision-making. For decades, the franchise has leaned on a “build from within” philosophy rooted in drafting, developing, and trusting their own. This offseason, that identity remained intact—but at what cost? With a promising young quarterback in Jordan Love and a balanced roster, this could’ve been the […]

Protecting your franchise quarterback is obviously non-negotiable. And when your quarterback is Patrick Mahomes, every decision on the offensive line reverberates with championship consequences. That’s what makes the Kansas City Chiefs’ riskiest move of the 2025 offseason so baffling. They traded away Joe Thuney, the bedrock of their offensive line and a two-time first-team All-Pro. […]

If you listen to NFL observers, free-agent running back J.K. Dobbins might land with the Washington Commanders. Or perhaps he will jump into the arms of the Cowboys. But we will rank the best fits for J.K. Dobbins late in 2025 NFL free agency. And at the top of our list is neither of the […]

In every NFL offseason, a handful of late-summer free agents surface as difference-makers. These are proven veterans who may no longer be in their prime but still bring value to a playoff contender or a team on the rise. Amari Cooper fits that bill perfectly. As of late May 2025, the five-time Pro Bowl receiver […]

It’s not often that a four-time Pro Bowler with a reputation for toughness and consistency is still available in free agency this deep into the NFL offseason. Yet here we are with Nick Chubb. He is one of the most respected running backs of the past decade. Right now, he remains unsigned as teams finalize […]

After seasons of near-contender status and bursts of offensive brilliance, the Miami Dolphins now find themselves fighting to hold ground in a brutally competitive AFC. The foundation of a high-flying offense and playmaking defense remains. However, cracks are beginning to show. If the Dolphins want to keep up with the likes of Kansas City, Baltimore, […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars are entering a new era—again. After a frustrating stretch marked by regression on both sides of the ball, ownership finally hit the soft reset button. With a new general manager in James Gladstone and a new head coach in Liam Coen, Jacksonville is betting on bold leadership to revive a roster that […]

The Tennessee Titans are in an all too familiar position. They are rebuilding, recalibrating, and reaching for the elusive stability that has evaded them since the end of the Derrick Henry era. Now, they have a new franchise quarterback under center and a retooled coaching staff in place. As such, 2025 offers a clean slate—but […]

When the Atlanta Falcons signed Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million deal in 2024, they declared themselves ready to compete. However, fast forward to the 2025 offseason, and it’s clear that their all-in gamble came with caveats. The team’s ceiling hinges not just on Cousins’ health and productivity. It is also dependent on how […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars opened their offseason program this week with high expectations, and one of their newest additions delivered in a big way. Wide receiver Dyami Brown, signed this offseason, wasted no time flashing his playmaking ability during the team’s first OTA session — instantly raising excitement around the Jaguars offense. Trevor Lawrence, entering a […]

The Baltimore Ravens have long been known for their organizational consistency and defensive tradition. Now, they enter the latter stages of the 2025 offseason as legitimate contenders in the AFC. On the flip side, questions still linger about whether they’ve done enough to close the gap with perennial powerhouses like the Kansas City Chiefs and […]

Following Derek Carr’s sudden retirement, the New Orleans Saints have more work to do than any other team in the 2025 offseason. With a couple of months remaining until training camps begin, the Saints’ current roster state requires moderate changes to be made in the trade market. Without Carr, New Orleans suddenly has a gaping […]

There are no more excuses in Houston. With CJ Stroud already among the league’s top quarterbacks and DeMeco Ryans cementing a winning culture, the Texans are in go mode. However, even with the franchise on the cusp of serious contention, glaring roster gaps remain. If Houston wants to maximize this precious window, they need to […]

After years of swirling uncertainty, the Denver Broncos might finally be turning a corner. A revamped roster and major upgrades on both sides of the ball have sparked optimism at Mile High. Still.

The window for the Cincinnati Bengals to contend for a Super Bowl is still open. However, the team can’t afford to squander another year of Joe Burrow’s prime. With a loaded AFC, marginal upgrades won’t cut it. Championship-caliber rosters aren’t just built in March and April. They are shaped with savvy mid-offseason moves that target […]

For the Cleveland Browns, the 2025 offseason has been defined by preservation rather than progress. The front office kept Myles Garrett in-house after his trade request threatened to detonate the defensive core. However, in a loaded AFC North, belief only gets you so far. The Browns need reinforcements. In that regard, wide receiver remains the […]

The New England Patriots might be back in business. After a few underwhelming years, the 2025 offseason has breathed new life into the franchise. The energy in Foxborough is different. It seems brighter, more aggressive, and, most importantly, hopeful. However, if the Patriots are serious about contending in the AFC again, they aren’t done building. […]

So far, the New York Giants’ 2025 offseason has gone nearly according to plan.

The Green Bay Packers have flirted with contention over the past few seasons. However, 2025 may be the defining year that determines whether this iteration of the franchise is truly ready to chase championships—or merely tread water in a loaded NFC. Note that quarterback Jordan Love is looking more and more like the real deal. […]

The Chicago Bears are no longer in rebuild mode—they’re building toward something real. After years of disappointing-to-middling results, the Windy City finally feels like it has momentum. Rising star Caleb Williams is the face of the franchise. Ben Johnson, the hottest coaching name of the past two cycles, is now at the helm. And with […]

Coming off a Super Bowl win, the Philadelphia Eagles don’t appear to be resting on their laurels. Instead, they’re taking a calculated approach to sustain long-term dominance. It’s one that might include a few well-timed, roster-smoothing trades. With a talent-laden depth chart and a savvy front office, the Eagles’ 2025 roster already has few glaring […]

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs remain firmly in the championship mix. However, last season’s Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles reminded the rest of the league that even dynasties have weak spots. For the Chiefs, fine-tuning the roster is no longer just about staying ahead. It’s about reclaiming the mountaintop. With most […]

Did the San Francisco 49ers lure in a former Kansas City Chiefs starter? Or is John Lynch and company still working on a deal? One insider dove into the mysterious signing Thursday. D.J. Humphries surfaced as the new 49ers signing back on April 30. Humphries’ agency AMDG Sports posted he’s agreed to terms with the […]

As NFL teams have reshaped their rosters through free agency and the draft in the lead up to the 2025 season, a handful of players with the potential to make an impact remain unsigned.
