An Early 2025 NFL Free Agency Preview
![](https://d1dglpr230r57l.cloudfront.net/images/xlarge/USATSI_22203307_168390303_lowres.jpg)
With the bulk of the 2024 NFL offseason now behind us, the time to start thinking about next March is now. Spotrac has identified a few notable players at each position group currently on track to become unrestricted free agents after the upcoming season.
RELATED: 2025 NFL FREE AGENT TRACKER
QUARTERBACK
Prescott, who has a no-tag clause in his expiring contract with the Cowboys, is trending toward the open market as of now, and the cost to keep him in Dallas now approaches $60M per year. It seems likely that Jordan Love & Tua Tagovailoa will agree to extensions in the coming months, but the long-term QB plan in Pittsburgh is another situation to monitor.
- Dak Prescott (DAL)
- Jordan Love (GB)
- Tua Tagovailoa (MIA)
- Russell Wilson (PIT)
- Justin Fields (PIT)
RUNNING BACK
It was a strong free agency for the running back position this past March, but will the trend continue going forward? Conner has quietly put together a nice run in Arizona, but he’ll be nearly 30 by the time he signs his next deal. Nick Chubb’s recovery from injury this upcoming season will be something to monitor, as Cleveland will be motivated to keep him in the fold for their continuing contention window.
- James Conner (ARI)
- Nick Chubb (CLE)
- Javonte Williams (DEN)
- JK Dobbins (LAC)
- Aaron Jones (MIN)
- Rhamondre Stevenson (NE)
- Elijah Mitchell (SF)
WIDE RECEIVER
It feels like everytime we go to create a list of wide receivers available (draft prospects, extension candidates, trade candidates, etc…) we wind up with a laundry list of talent. The same goes for the upcoming free agency pool, though it’s safe to assume that a few of these names will be removed in the coming weeks and months via extension or a tag. Jefferson & Lamb should obliterate the non-QB money market soon.
- CeeDee Lamb (DAL)
- Tee Higgins (CIN)
- Amari Cooper (CLE)
- Keenan Allen (CHI)
- Diontae Johnson (CAR)
- Brandin Cooks (DAL)
- Stefon Diggs (HOU)
- Nico Collins (HOU)
- Marquise Brown (KC)
- Justin Jefferson (MIN)
- Darius Slayton (NYG)
- Mike Williams (NYJ)
- Brandon Aiyuk (SF)
- Chris Godwin (TB)
- DeAndre Hopkins (TEN)
- Tyler Boyd (TEN)
TIGHT END
A largely weak list for now could (should) be bolstered this winter by cap casualty candidates. All three of these players have a good chance to secure a multi-year guarantee next March.
- Juwan Johnson (NO)
- Pat Freiermuth (PIT)
- Tyler Conklin (NYG)
OFFENSIVE LINE
Age is certainly a factor with many of the names listed below, but this is a solid group of starting offensive lineman currently set to hit the free market, highlighted by Tristan Wirfs (TB), Taylor Decker (DET), Quinn Meinerz (DEN), Trey Smith (KC), & Creed Humphrey (KC).
TACKLES
- Ronnie Stanley (BAL, LT)
- Jedrick Wills (CLE, LT)
- Garett Bolles (DEN, LT)
- Taylor Decker (DET, LT)
- Cam Robinson (JAX, LT)
- Alaric Jackson (LAR, LT)
- Tyron Smith (NYJ, LT)
- Tristan Wirfs (TB, LT)
- Cornelius Lucas (WSH, LT)
- Patrick Mekari (BAL, RT/G)
- Spencer Brown (BUF, RT
- Trenton Brown (CIN, RT)
- Morgan Moses (NYJ, RT)
GUARDS
- Teven Jenkins (CHI)
- Zack Martin (DAL)
- Quinn Meinerz (DEN)
- Trey Smith (KC)
- James Daniels (PIT)
- Jon Feliciano (SF)
- Samuel Cosmi (WSH)
CENTERS
- Ted Karras (CIN)
- Ryan Kelly (IND)
- Creed Humphrey (KC)
- David Andrews (NE)
- Nate Herbig (PIT)
INTERIOR DEFENDER
It’s been a big year for defensive tackle money, with Chris Jones (KC), Christian Wilkins (LV), & Justin Madubuike (BAL) resetting the top of the market across the board. The current free agent class isn’t likely to require contracts anywhere near the top of the mountain, but they’ll benefit from the positional raise nonetheless.
- B.J. Hill (CIN)
- Kenny Clark (GB)
- Davon Godchaux (NE)
- Cameron Heyward (PIT)
- Maliek Collins (SF)
EDGE DEFENDER
5 edge defenders signed free agent contracts this past March that contained more than $25M fully guaranteed (Danielle Hunter at $48M led the group). There’s a world where 3-4 of next year’s class eclipse this mark easily, though age is a factor across the board here.
- Charles Omenihu (KC, DE)
- Chase Young (NO, DE)
- Josh Sweat (PHI, DE)
- Brandon Graham (PHI, DE)
- Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (CLE, OLB)
- Khalil Mack (LAC, OLB)
- Shaquil Barrett (MIA, OLB)
- Matt Judon (NE, OLB)
- Haason Reddick (PHI, OLB)
LINEBACKER
As teams continue to passover paying off-ball linebackers in favor of other positions, more and more talented players will be allowed to test the open market. Unfortunately, this is also leading to a bit of a devaluation for these players, as supply is outweighing demand on an annual basis. Patrick Queen’s 3 year, $41M contract in Pittsburgh is all the evidence we need.
- Eric Kendricks (DAL)
- Nick Bolton (KC)
- Robert Spillane (LV)
- Denzel Perryman (LAC)
- Ernest Jones (LAR)
- Jahlani Tavai (NE)
- Willie Gay Jr. (NO)
- Pete Werner (NO)
- Isaiah Simmons (NYG)
- Devin White (PHI)
- Dre Greenlaw (SF)
- De'Vondre Campbell (SF)
- Tyrel Dodson (SEA)
- Lavonte David (TB)
- K.J. Britt (TB)
- Bobby Wagner (WSH)
CORNERBACK
Samuel Jr. and Terrell should sign extensions in the coming weeks, setting up Jonathan Jones & Charvarius Ward as likely top names to watch heading through the 2024 campaign. Jaire Alexander ($21M per year) & Denzel Ward ($71.25M guaranteed) have held the top marks at the position for a minute now.
- Rasul Douglas (BUF)
- A.J. Terrell (ATL)
- Mike Hilton (CIN)
- Carlton Davis (DET)
- Asante Samuel Jr. (LAC)
- Tre'Davious White (LAR)
- Byron Murphy (MIN)
- Jonathan Jones (NE)
- D.J. Reed (NYJ)
- Donte Jackson (PIT)
- Charvarius Ward (SF)
- Deommodore Lenoir (SF)
- Michael Jackson (SEA)
SAFETY
Overall, safety contracts have taken a hit in recent offseason (on a similar trajectory to off-ball linebackers). The stars will continue to see big numbers (as evidenced by Antione Winfield Jr.’s recent payday), but by and large, teams are allowed above average players to test the open market before extending.
- Vonn Bell (CIN)
- Budda Baker (ARI)
- Jimmie Ward (HOU)
- Julian Blackmon (IND)
- Justin Reid (KC)
- Marcus Epps (LV)
- Trevon Moehrig (LV)
- Camryn Bynum (MIN)
- Tyrann Mathieu (NO)
- Talanoa Hufanga (SF)
SPECIAL TEAMS
Harrison Butker was the 3rd highest rated kicker in 2023 according to PFF, with Prater, McPherson, & Hopkins all cracking the Top 10. This has become a year-to-year what-have-you-done-for-me-lately position however, so most of these names will need strong 2024s to secure any type of multi-year guarantee. The top marks currently sit at $6M per year, $17.5M guaranteed for kickers, $3.6M per year, $7.5M guaranteed for punters.
- Matt Prater (ARI, K)
- Evan McPherson (CIN, K)
- Dustin Hopkins (CLE, K)
- Bryan Anger (DAL, P)
- Harrison Butker (KC, K)
- JK Scott (LAC, P)
- Nick Folk (TEN, K)
- Brandon McManus (WSH, K)
