All the free agents across the NFL and a team-by-team look at offseason situations
The 2025 NFL offseason is officially here. Teams can start placing the franchise tag on unrestricted free agents beginning Tuesday, Feb. 18 through the franchise tag deadline on March 4, with the new league year beginning on Wednesday, March 12 (when teams have to get under the salary cap and officially sign teams to contracts). The legal tampering period (when teams can contact players, and enter into contract negotiations with agents) begins on March 10.
Suffice to say, teams will be making weighty roster decisions in the coming days, weeks and months as they prepare to improve their team for the 2025 season. Here's a look at all the unrestricted free agents around the league, each team's salary cap situation and the top positional needs for each franchise:
