Predicting the top free agency target for each NFL team in 2025

Date:

This NFL offseason is moving at a rapid pace, with the Super Bowl followed by the scouting combine and now free agency on the horizon.

General managers must be prepared to multitask as they finalize their game plans for free agency. The legal tampering period begins on Monday followed by the start of the new league year on Wednesday.

With the salary cap set at $279.2 million, every team has some spending money to address their needs. Some teams will focus more on the draft, while others will engage in spending sprees.

Here’s a prediction for one free-agent target for every team:

Arizona Cardinals: Edge Haason Reddick

Atlanta Falcons: Edge Khalil Mack

Baltimore Ravens: FS Tre’von Moehrig
