Predicting the 2025 NFL Free Agency: Which teams land the top players?

Writer: Neel NetworkNeel Network

With NFL Free Agency here, teams will be looking to sign superstars and fill gaps in their roster through Free Agency. Where will QBs such as Sam Darnold and Justin Fields land? Where will all the tackles land? Here are all my predictions for NFL Free Agency


NFL Free Agency Predictions


QB Sam Darnold

Sam Darnold Steelers

Prediction: Pittsburgh Steelers - 3 years, $105 million

My first prediction is Sam Darnold taking his talents to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers have been trying to re-sign Justin Fields, but I just do not think both sides will be able to agree to a contract. Fields was unhappy with his benching after an impressive 4-2 start. With Fields off the table for the Steelers, they will settle for the best QB available which is Sam Darnold.

 

QB Justin Fields

Justin Fields Seahawks

Prediction: Seattle Seahawks- 2 years, $28 million

My next prediction is Justin Fields to the Seattle Seahawks. This signing will be a ripple effect of Darnold to the Steelers. With very few QBs left on the market, Seattle will choose to sign a high upside QB such as Fields to a very reasonable contract.



 

Edge Josh Sweat

Josh Sweat Bears

Prediction: Chicago Bears- 3 years, $51.6 million

Moving to the defensive side of the ball, my next prediction is Josh Sweat to the Bears. The Bears need one more elite pass rusher to truly have the potential to be dominant on the defensive side of the ball. I believe Josh Sweat can be this guy. For just over $17 million a year, the Bears will pull the trigger and make a big move in free agency.

 

C Drew Dalman

Drew Dalman Bears

Prediction: Chicago Bears- 4 years, $57 million

My first offensive line prediction is Center Drew Dalman to the Chicago Bears. While re-signing with Atlanta is definitely a likely option, I'm not convinced Atlanta will be willing to spend a boatload of money on Dalman. A team that will be willing to spend a lot is the Chicago Bears, who are looking to protect their franchise QB Caleb Williams. The Bears are the perfect fit for Dalman and will give him the contract that he wants.

 

CB DJ Reed

DJ Reed 49ers

Prediction: San Francisco 49ers- 3 years, $43 million

Switching gears to the DB market, I have CB DJ Reed signing a contract with the San Francisco 49ers. Reed will get to reunite with his former HC Robert Saleh and will get to be a key starter on the 49ers' defense. This is a match made in heaven, and I expect this deal to get done very quickly.



 

The Rest...


Milton Williams- Arizona Cardinals


Jevon Holland- Carolina Panthers


Chris Godwin- New England Patriots


Will Fries- Seattle Seahawks


Justin Reid- Buffalo Bills


Charvarius Ward- Tampa Bay Buccaneers


Mekhi Becton- Indianapolis Colts


Khalil Mack - Los Angeles Chargers


Trevon Moehrig - Baltimore Ravens


Byron Murphy- Las Vegas Raiders


Talanoa Hufanga- Miami Dolphins



Where will Sam Darnold end up?

  • Pittsburgh Steelers

  • Seattle Seahawks

  • New York Jets

  • Other?
