The NFL's 2025 free agency period has kicked off with significant movement, highlighted by quarterback Sam Darnold joining the Seattle Seahawks, while Justin Fields has taken the reins at quarterback for the New York Jets, effectively sidelining Aaron Rodgers. The Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots have emerged as the league's biggest spenders, with key additions on both offensive and defensive lines. DeMarcus Lawrence has left the Dallas Cowboys for Seattle, while Darius Slay moves from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Steelers, signaling a shakeup in the NFC East.

Dallas' owner Jerry Jones and EVP Stephen Jones have been met with criticism for failing to land high-profile free agents despite creating cap space. Meanwhile, the Vikings are making aggressive moves to bolster their line, following a disastrous playoff exit last season. The Chicago Bears are focusing on building a strong offensive line to protect their promising QB, Caleb Williams. As the running back market remains stagnant, attention shifts to a potentially generational draft class for RBs.
