In the turbulent waters of NFL free agency, standout signings can make or break teams. This past offseason highlighted several impactful acquisitions that transformed franchises. The Green Bay Packers struck gold with Josh Jacobs, who, after a rocky stint with the Raiders, rushed for 1,329 yards and played a pivotal role in playoff contention.

The Minnesota Vikings found value in Andrew Van Ginkel, who excelled with career-highs in multiple categories, while the Philadelphia Eagles made a savvy move by signing Zack Baun, who quickly became a defensive stalwart and earned All-Pro honors.

Derrick Henry, signed by the Baltimore Ravens, proved the running back position still holds value, leading to an AFC North title, while Saquon Barkley’s move to the Eagles not only brought him individual accolades but also helped propel the team to championship contention.
