The Seattle Seahawks' pursuit of free-agent guards has hit a snag with the recent signing of Dillon Radunz by the New Orleans Saints, a player who was previously on their radar. General Manager John Schneider seems to be reevaluating his strategy as other potential targets like Teven Jenkins and Lucas Patrick have signed with different teams. Fortunately, there's still a wealth of talented guards available in free agency that the Seahawks can target for upgrades on their offensive line.

Among the notable options are Brandon Scherff, who despite aging, provides veteran experience and was solid on the line for the Jacksonville Jaguars last season. Will Hernandez is another intriguing candidate, coming off a strong season with the Arizona Cardinals where he allowed no sacks. Lastly, Dalton Risner, formerly with the Minnesota Vikings, has familiarity with the Seahawks' new quarterback Sam Darnold, which could enhance their offensive cohesion. Investing in one or more of these players could significantly bolster the Seahawks’ offensive line heading into the upcoming season.

The Detroit Lions' offense continues to shine, ranked as one of the league's best in 2024. With the addition of new offensive coordinator John Morton, the team is poised for further enhancement heading into the 2025 season. Though known for their cautious approach to free agency, the Lions are set to explore opportunities to bolster their roster with ten external free agents who fit their style. Notable candidates include Tyler Lockett, a veteran receiver with extensive experience, and offensive linemen like Will Hernandez and Daniel Brunskill, both of whom could enhance the Lions’ blocking schemes. Morton’s familiarity with players like Javonte Williams—a versatile RB—suggests a potential for interesting plays. Additionally, the return of Josh Reynolds and a backup quarterback competition could further enrich the offensive dynamics.

The Chicago Bears are eyeing Kansas City Chiefs Pro Bowl guard Trey Smith as they prepare for the 2025 NFL free agency. With a projected $64.9 million in cap space, Chicago has the financial leverage to pursue top offensive line talent, including Smith, who has ties to both general manager Ryan Poles and right tackle Darnell Wright from their time at Tennessee. However, competition from teams like the New England Patriots may push the Bears to consider alternatives like veteran guard Will Hernandez, should they miss out on Smith.

Hernandez, who has started 91 games, could provide a solid short-term option while the Bears look to bolster their offensive line. Nonetheless, if the Bears aim for a long-term solution, Smith is likely their priority target. As March 10 approaches, the Bears' strategy could involve a mix of high-profile signings and savvy veteran pickups to address their pressing needs on the offensive line.

The Dallas Cowboys, once home to an elite offensive line, face significant challenges as key players like Tyron Smith and Zack Martin near the end of their careers. With Martin poised to hit free agency in 2025, the team must consider viable replacements, including Will Hernandez, who has shown promise in his stint with the Arizona Cardinals. Hernandez's connection with the Cowboys' new offensive coordinator, Klayton Adams, could facilitate a smooth transition and enhance the offensive line’s performance.

Having previously been linked to Hernandez during the 2018 NFL Draft, the Cowboys are now evaluating him as a potential fit, especially considering his recovery from a torn ACL. If Dallas can secure him, it may not only stabilize their line but also allow them to continue their offensive prowess as they adapt to the new era.
