2025 NFL free agency: Biggest need remaining for every team after first wave of free-agent signings
CBSN
The NFL Draft is the next opportunity for teams to truly upgrade the roster
It's been an interesting year of NFL free agency; a lot of teams had money, but the talent pool was not necessarily deep enough to justify spending it. As a result, several teams opted to pay their own players more now and give themselves flexibility into the future. Some teams explored trades as a way to upgrade the roster in the present while also spending some of that salary cap space.
For example, the Bears, Patriots and Vikings were among the notable teams to open the checkbooks in March. Aside from free agent decisions from Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson still looming, a large percentage of free agency is complete and teams are turning their attention toward filling remaining needs in the 2025 NFL Draft, which is particularly strong at defensive tackle and running back, but deficient in areas such as wide receiver and cornerback.
Here is the most pressing need for each team after the first wave of free agents have already been signed:
