NFL free agency: Tracking deals and the best free agents left

NFL free agency: Tracking deals and the best free agents left originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

The 2025 NFL free agency period got off to a wild start.

A flurry of moves quickly followed once the legal tampering period opened on Monday at noon ET, marking the unofficial start of free agency. The Day 1 action was headlined by a pair of quarterbacks changing teams, with Sam Darnold reportedly joining the Seattle Seahawks and Justin Fields reportedly going to the New York Jets.

The New England Patriots entered Monday with a league-high $100 million-plus in cap space — and they certainty didn’t wait around to spend it. After landing pass rusher Harold Landry on Sunday, New England continued to beef up its defense by reportedly bringing in defensive tackle Milton Williams, linebacker Robert Spillane and cornerback Carlton Davis.

The Chicago Bears, meanwhile, made a few splashes in the trenches with the reported additions of center Drew Dalman, defensive tackle Grady Jarrett and pass rusher Dayo Odeyingbo. And the Indianapolis Colts strengthened their secondary by reportedly striking deals with cornerback Charvarius Ward and safety Camryn Bynum.

Others who reportedly found new homes on big-money deals included offensive tackle Dan Moore Jr. with the Tennessee Titans, defensive end Josh Sweat with the Arizona Cardinals, linebacker Dre Greenlaw with the Denver Broncos, cornerback D.J. Reed with the Detroit Lions and safety Tre’von Moehrig with the Carolina Panthers.

While many free agents are changing teams, some are staying put. Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout Chris Godwin, Los Angeles Chargers pass rusher Khalil Mack and Minnesota Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy are all re-signing with their respective teams.

So, which other notable free agents have agreed to deals? And who’s still on the market? Stay updated here with a position-by-position breakdown.
