2025 NFL Offseason: Key Questions, Free Agency Moves, and Draft Strategies

AFC East

Buffalo Bills

How can the Bills take the next step toward the Super Bowl? The Bills had a strong 2024 season, falling just short of the big game. With Josh Allen entering his eighth season, the team must focus on improving the defensive line and finding impactful players in the draft to make a deeper playoff run.

Miami Dolphins

What will Miami's rebuilt offensive line look like? With Tyreek Hill's trade request resolved, the Dolphins must address their offensive line. Potential retirements and free agency departures mean Miami could have three new starters. General Manager Chris Grier has acknowledged the need for significant investment in this area.

AFC North

Baltimore Ravens

Will the Ravens keep Ronnie Stanley? Ronnie Stanley, one of the top free-agent tackles, is a priority for Baltimore. However, his injury history and age make this a difficult decision. If Stanley departs, the Ravens may shift Roger Rosengarten to left tackle.

AFC South

Houston Texans

How will the Texans build around C.J. Stroud? The Texans are focused on protecting Stroud, who was sacked 52 times in 2024. A revamped offensive line and additional playmakers are essential to elevate the Texans' offense in Stroud's critical third season.

NFC East

Philadelphia Eagles

Can the Eagles repeat their success? After a Super Bowl win, the Eagles must replace offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. Retaining key defensive players and bolstering the roster through the draft and free agency will be crucial for another deep playoff run.

NFC West

San Francisco 49ers

When will Brock Purdy sign an extension? A new deal for Purdy will provide cost certainty for the 49ers, allowing them to address needs on both the offensive and defensive lines. The sooner the extension is finalized, the better for the team's offseason plans.
