Free agent safety Quandre Diggs saw his 2024 season cut short by a Lisfranc injury, which put a damper on what was already likely to be a tepid free agent market in 2025. As of the end of May, Diggs still had not received medical clearance to return to the

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin did not attend mandatory minicamp last month as he seeks a new contract, and it does not sound like the two sides have made much — if any — progress toward an extension since then. McLaurin is entering the final season of a three-year,

A toe injury resulted in Chase Claypool landing on injured reserve last August. He was waived with an injury settlement by the Bills, something which allowed him to hit free agency.

The NFL’s 2025 HC carousel brought five new sideline leaders; this year’s GM market eventually featured four new hires.

The 2025 offseason has been defined in no small part by extensions amongst the league’s top edge rushers. A number of high-profile situations on that front remain unresolved at this point, which will make for interesting storylines over the coming weeks.

The Jaguars are prepared to use Travis Hunter on both sides of the ball during his rookie season, and the spring saw him spend time on offense and defense.
