The reality on the ground will be the justice of the peace of this Free Agency, some teams have nevertheless given themselves the means to achieve great things on paper. Overview of the best movements of the Free Agency.
1. Commanders play the free agency 2025 thoroughly
Laremy Tunsil was not free agent. However, the left tackle changed teams during the offseason by being sent to the commanders. According to ESPN, Tunsil had the 10th % of Win Pass-Rush Last year. For Pff, the player was the 4th tackle most ” valuable »On pass situations.
With this movement, the commanders have offered a clear improvement to the Tackle left. In 2024, the left -handed tackles of the team allowed 10 sacks and 57 pressures, against 10 sacks and 65 pressures for Tunsil, but in the last 3 seasons!
Yes, the commanders have sacrificed a lot of draft choices for its arrival. Yes, this is a risk for the medium term. But the commanders felt that they had something special with their quarterback rookie Jayden Daniels. After years of slump, they cannot be criticized for playing the blow in 2025.
Strengthening your team at the Tackle Left Tackle Post is necessarily one of the top movements of the offseason.
2. Davante Adams in Rams
What ? A 32 -year -old recipient declined in the best shots? Yes. Despite a decreased level, Davante Adams comes out of a season at +1000 yards and 8 touchdowns. For ESPN and its advanced statistics, Adams was still a top 20 receiver when it comes to standing out. Imagine it in Sean Mcvay's patterns. Not difficult to see great potential.
In addition, Adams will have the role of number 2 instead of 1 among jets. Finally, the receiver signed for 46 million over 2 years while Cooper Kupp (in great difficulty last year) was to count for 56 million the next two seasons …
Los Angeles therefore found better and cheaper by attracting a talented recipient. Costaud.
3. The lions are offered DJ Reed
Detroit makes one of the pretty strokes of the offseason by signing DJ Reed. A “discreet” player, the cornerback continues the solid seasons, from Seattle, as an outdoor cornerback. Reed is a stability model (in terms of level/production) to a position where the level of a player fluctuates from one season to another. At 28, the defender seems to be at the top of his career and will strengthen the defensive rear guard of the Lions.
The icing on the cake, the lions signed Reed cheaper than what the Patriots paid for Carlton Davis III, former holder in this position. Direct reinforcement and financial gain for a team suiting for the title, what more could you ask for?
4. Chicago takes advantage of the free agency 2025 to find the line
68… This is the number of sack authorized by the Bears in 2024. Of course, Caleb Williams, Quarterback Rookie had his share of responsibility in this total. Nevertheless, like the past seasons, it is obvious that the offensive line of the Bears is not at the level.
Ben Johson just arrived, the coach already imposes his paw and the “lions” style by wanting to build by the offensive line. Chicago therefore did not let the opportunity to change this off -season. The Bears brought the Guards Joey Thuney and Jonah Jackson by transfer. They also signed the Drew Dallman center for 3 years and 42 million.
Taken separately, these “blows” would not necessarily be in a top of the best movements of the season. But taken together, it seems obvious that, on paper, Chicago managed to strengthen what was his biggest weak point.
5. Zack Baun at “reduced price”
A “surprise” star of the 2024 season, Zack Baun has deserved his new contract on the side of the Eagles more than. The linebacker excelled in the defense of Vic Fangio by playing at a defensive player level of the year.
If this signature is placed in the best strokes of the offseason, it is especially for its financial aspect. By signing for 3 years and 51 million, Zack Baun will be around 17 million per year, only 2 more than Nick Bolton and Jamien Sherwood.
Perhaps “more” impressive, despite the position of strength of the player, Zack Baun has not become the best paid lineboker. Last year Tremaine Edmunds signed 22.4 million per year. Roquan Smith in 2023 for 24.8 million.
Zack Baun at 17 million looks like a new great success from Howie Roseman during the Free Agency.
Bonus: Aaron Banks, Master of negotiations
Bravo to Aaron Banks who undoubtedly has one of the best contracts of the offseason if we place ourselves from the point of view of the player and the “production / cost” ratio.
He became the best paid 7th Guard in the League.
