Team Needs and Key Free Agents

AFC North​

Baltimore Ravens​

Team needs: WR, LG, CB, RB3, EDGE4

Key free agents: LG Ben Powers, QB Lamar Jackson, CB Marcus Peters, WR Demarcus Robinson, EDGE Jason Pierre-Paul, EDGE Justin Houston, WR Sammy Watkins


Quarterback was not listed as a "need" for the Ravens but the story of their offseason certainly revolves around Lamar Jackson. The star player is technically a free agent, though the Ravens will certainly at least place the franchise tag on him and that means Jackson will either be traded or will return to the team for at least one more season. There seems to be some reluctance by the franchise to meet his asking price, but there is no reason to expect a divorce on the horizon. Could Jackson be traded at some point? Sure, but even then, the Ravens would need to pivot at the position and would have a boatload of assets to work and maneuver with.

Cincinnati Bengals​

Team needs: TE, RB2, LB, CB, S

Key free agents: S Jessie Bates III, S Vonn Bell, CB Eli Apple, LB Germaine Pratt, TE Hayden Hurst, RB Samaje Perine


The Bengals are a very complete roster with some important decisions to make in the upcoming free agency period, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. Both starting safeties are due to reach the market though the Bengals planned appropriately by drafting a safety in Dax Hill in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Cincinnati will need to make some cornerback adjustments, too, with Apple slated for free agency and fellow boundary starter Chidboe Awuzie recovering from a torn ACL.

Cleveland Browns​

Team needs: WR, C, QB2, RB2, DT, DE, LB

Key free agents: C Ethan Pocic, QB Jacoby Brissett, DL Taven Bryan, EDGE Jadeveon Clowney, RB Kareem Hunt, LB Deion Jones, LB Anthony Walker Jr., RB D'Ernest Johnson


The Browns could use wide receiver help across from veteran Amari Cooper. While Donovan Peoples-Jones flashed some ability, he's likely a better fit for a WR3 role. Rookie David Bell and second-year speedster Anthony Schwartz struggled to make an impact and while Bell will undoubtedly get another opportunity to prove himself, the passing game needs to be spiced up by way of a receiver addition. Cleveland should also look to replace Hunt and Johnson with both slated to walk, especially considering how much the team leans on the running game.

Pittsburgh Steelers​

Team needs: LT, TE2, DT, LB, CB, S

Key free agents: CB Cameron Sutton, S Terrell Edmunds, LB Devin Bush, DT Larry Ogunjobi, LB Robert Spillane, S Damontae Kazee, QB Mason Rudolph


The Steelers must address the left side of their line if they want to extract the most out of quarterback Kenny Pickett and running back Najee Harris. LT Dan Moore Jr. ranked 68th in overall blocking grade according to PFF (min. 100 snaps) while allowing 39 pressures and seven sacks. Pittsburgh also has upcoming holes at linebacker as both Bush (61.9%) and Spillane (55.3%) played a good number of snaps at the position, though Bush has largely disappointed as a former first-round pick.



AFC South​

Houston Texans​

Team needs: WR, QB, C, DE3, DT, LB, S

Key free agents: C Scott Quessenberry, WR Chris Moore, EDGE Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, WR Phillip Dorsett, TE Jordan Akins, CB Tavierre Thomas, RB Rex Burkhead


The story of this offseason is a simple one for the Texans — they're on a quest to find their franchise quarterback and that's where it all starts for this roster. Houston is likely to draft a quarterback with their highest first-round pick and could elect to trade up to the No. 1 pick if they feel Bryce Young is the best option. Additionally, wide receiver is a need with Brandin Cooks likely leaving the team via trade.

Indianapolis Colts​

Team needs: Slot WR, QB, RG, DE, LB, CB depth, S

Key free agents: S Rodney McLeod, LB Bobby Okereke, WR Parris Campbell, EDGE Yannick Ngakoue, OL Matt Pryor, CB Brandon Facyson


Like the Texans, the Colts need to be all-in on finding their franchise quarterback. Veteran Matt Ryan turned out to be a failed experiment and will be inevitably released. The team may look to add firepower at wide receiver with Campbell slated for free agency and will need help on the defensive side of the ball with question marks at linebacker (RE: Shaquille Leonard health, etc) and in the secondary.

Jacksonville Jaguars​

Team needs: iOL depth, RT, TE, RB2, EDGE depth

Key free agents: RT Jawaan Taylor, TE Evan Engram, WR Marvin Jones, EDGE Arden Key, EDGE Dawuane Smoot, TE Dan Arnold, TE Chris Manhertz


As one of the more exciting teams this past season, the Jaguars don't have a ton of work to do on defense, though offensively the team will need to make some moves. Preferably, Jacksonville will find a way to sign Engram and Taylor to long-term deals, and the addition of Calvin Ridley post-suspension will fill the hole that Jones could open if he departs. The Jaguars will need to figure out the backup tight end situation, too, but are otherwise entering this offseason in good shape.

Tennessee Titans​

Team needs: Boundary WR, LT, RG, RT, TE depth, RB2, LB, CB depth

Key free agents: LT Dennis Daley, RG Nate Davis, LB David Long Jr., S Andrew Adams, TE Geoff Swaim, TE Austin Hooper, S Josh Kalu, LB Dylan Cole, RB Dontrell Hilliard


Tennessee is worth circling as we enter the offseason since they have a multitude of potential directions available to them. The most likely avenue is a slight re-tooling around quarterback Ryan Tannehill, though the possibility that the team moves on from Tanny remains. With that being said, the Titans will need to replace recent cuts Robert Woods, Taylor Lewan, and Zach Cunningham, to start. The team could use extra help at backup running back with Hilliard set to hit the market, and at linebacker if Long is able to ultimately reach the market. In addition, the offensive line will need a lot of re-tooling, specifically at left tackle, right guard if Davis walks, and right tackle.


AFC East​

Buffalo Bills​

Team needs: WR, LG, RB

Key free agents: LG Rodger Saffold, LB Tremaine Edmunds, S Jordan Poyer, RB Devin Singletary, EDGE Shaq Lawson, DT Jordan Phillips, WR Jamison Crowder


The Bills don't have many holes on their roster but they could have some big players depart in free agency in Edmunds and Poyer. Offensively, Buffalo will need to shore up the offensive line with at least one interior OL addition and could look to replace both starting guards. In the backfield, the team will need to find a complement to James Cook and potentially Nyheim Hines, though it remains to be seen what kind of investment they could make at the position after acquiring both players within the past year. Lastly, while the receiving corps does have plenty of talent, they could use another solidified star, though that won't be an easy task to accomplish.

Miami Dolphins​

Team needs: Slot WR, OT depth, TE, RB, DL depth, LB, CB

Key free agents: RT Brandon Shell, LB Elandon Roberts, WR Trent Sherfield, RB Raheem Mostert, LT Greg Little, S Eric Rowe, RB Jeff Wilson Jr., TE Mike Gesicki, EDGE Melvin Ingram


Miami is fairly set heading into the offseason but the health of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will be the main point of discussion. Tagovailoa suffered multiple concussions during the season and the Dolphins may put more importance on the backup quarterback position for that reason. Outside of Tagovailoa, the offense will need a dependable WR3 after the Cedrick Wilson experiment didn't go as planned, as well as some tight end help with Gesicki likely on his way out and just Durham Smythe left. The backfield is wide open with both Mostert and Wilson set for free agency, but the chance that one of them is re-signed — if not both — is possible.

New England Patriots​

Team needs: Boundary WR, Slot WR, RT, LB, FS

Key free agents: S Devin McCourty, CB Jonathan Jones, WR Jakobi Meyers, WR Nelson Agholor, RT Isaiah Wynn, S Jabrill Peppers, RB Damien Harris, RT Marcus Cannon


The Patriots' receiver corps should be circled heading into this offseason. With both Meyers and Agholor potentially on the way out, the team will need reinforcements both on the boundary and in the slot, with second-year speedster Tyquan Thornton moonlighting as an option to help fill some of those snaps. The right side of the offensive line could use some shoring up, as could the secondary, with multiple starters headed for the market. Meanwhile, running back Rhamondre Stevenson is locked into the unquestioned RB1 role heading into 2023.

New York Jets​

Team needs: WR (?), QB, C, DT, EDGE (?), LB, S

Key free agents: LB Quincy Williams, C Connor McGovern, S Lamarcus Joyner, RG Nate Herbig, LB Kwon Alexander, DT Sheldon Rankins, LT/RT George Fant, DT Nathan Shepherd, DT Solomon Thomas, QB Joe Flacco, QB Mike White


Like some of the aforementioned teams on this list, the Jets have one job and basically one job only — go get a franchise quarterback. The team has been connected to both Aaron Rodgers and Derek Carr, either of which would be a massive upgrade over last year's quarterback options. Wide receiver could be in play with Corey Davis and Braxton Berrios likely being cap casualties and the uncertainty surrounding Elijah Moore's situation. Defensively, the team will need to find a way to replace Williams' snaps at linebacker and could have a hole open up at EDGE if Carl Lawson ends up being another cap casualty.



AFC West​

Denver Broncos​

Team needs: RB, LG, RT, TE2, LB, CB (?)

Key free agents: S Kareem Jackson, RT Cameron Fleming, LG Dalton Risner, LB Alex Singleton, DT Dre'Mont Jones, DT DeShawn William, RT Billy Turner, RB Latavius Murray


The Broncos are once again "all in" with the addition of Head Coach Sean Payton. Offensively, the team needs a lot of help schematically, but the roster doesn't have many glaring holes outside of the offensive line. Both the starting left guard and right tackle are slated for free agency, as are two of the backup tight ends. Denver could also use an addition at running back with Javonte Williams likely to miss multiple games in 2023. As of now, the team doesn't need another wide receiver or cornerback, though they could open up two roster holes at those spots if Jerry Jeudy is traded and K.J. Hamler and Ronald Darby are released.

Kansas City Chiefs​

Team needs: Boundary WR, LT, RT, DT x2, DE (?), S

Key free agents: LT Orlando Brown Jr., RT Andrew Wylie, S Juan Thornhill, WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, RB Jerick McKinnon, EDGE Carlos Dunlap, WR Justin Watson, DT Khalen Saunders, DT Derrick Nnadi, WR Mecole Hardman


Kansas City's offseason could go multiple ways depending on who they bring back from their upcoming list of free agents. On the offense, it appears they could franchise tag Brown once again, though they will need a new right tackle if Wylie walks. Smith-Schuster could also be an option to return, but the Chiefs do have Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore in the chamber ready to inherit larger roles. Defensively, Kansas City could use a run-stuffing nose tackle with both their first and second-string players scheduled to hit the market.

Las Vegas Raiders​

Team needs: Boundary WR, WR depth, RG, RT, TE2, QB, RB, DT, LB x2, CB x2, S

Key free agents: S Duron Harmon, WR Mack Hollins, RT Jermaine Eluemunor, LG Alex Bars, RB Josh Jacobs, TE Foster Moreau, CB Rock Ya-Sin, LB Denzel Perryman, EDGE Clelin Ferrell, DT Andrew Billings, QB Jarrett Stidham, LB Jayon Brown, CB Anthony Averett


Las Vegas has a laundry list of variables to solve entering this offseason, starting with the most important position at quarterback. David Carr was cut and the team will effectively need to find another franchise player for the position. At running back, Jacobs is likely to at least be franchise tagged, though he does want a long-term commitment. Also, the wide receiver position will need to be addressed if Hollins walks. On the flip, the defense will need additions on all three levels.

Los Angeles Chargers​

Team needs: LG, RT depth, DT, LB, EDGE depth, Nickel CB

Key free agents: LB Drue Tranquill, S Nasir Adderley, RT Trey Pipkins, EDGE Kyle Van Noy, WR DeAndre Carter, CB Bryce Callahan, DT Morgan Fox, TE Donald Parham


For the most part, the Chargers are a pretty solid roster across the board though their Super Bowl hopes will depend on their star players remaining healthy. Offensively, the team will need one if not two additions on the offensive line, though likely only one starter. Keenan Allen is a star player but there has been speculation that he could be on the move and if he is, the team will certainly need to replace him by adding an impact slot receiver.

Defensively, the Chargers will need to add a pass-rushing defensive tackle to replace Fox, while the second and third levels of the defense also have starters slated to reach the market in Tranquill and Callahan.

You have to be one dumbass GM to pay Lamar Jackson or Geno Smith.

Lamar did what a typical fast homeboy does. His career is basically over.

The Vikings signed Smith to a three-year, $42 million contract last offseason. Prior to joining their franchise, he spent three seasons on the Packers.

Smith had a really productive 2022 season, racking up 44 total tackles, 10 sacks and a forced fumble.

The Vikings would free up over $12 million in cap space by releasing Smith. We'll see if they choose that route.



Rapoport has been told that Minnesota doesn't plan on cutting Smith at this time. As a result, this situation remains unresolved.

The Dallas Cowboys have restructured the contracts for quarterback Dak Prescott and offensive guard Zack Martin to clear nearly $30 million in cap space, per Field Yates. While details of the moves haven’t been officially released, Dallas likely turned the players’ base salary into bonus money.
Prescott was due a $31 million base salary, while Martin was due $19 million. The Cowboys could have turned the majority of these contracts into a signing bonus, and then that would free up cap space to give them spending money for upcoming free agency. Prescott has two more years on his current contract and is set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2025. Martin is also under contract for two more seasons and is set to hit free agency in 2025.
Prescott played in 12 games last season. He threw for 2,860 yards with 23 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. Prescott hasn’t been his dual-threat self for a while, but still scrambled for 182 yards and another touchdown. Martin is considered one of the best guards in the league and is the backbone of the Dallas offensive line.

The Minnesota Vikings will release Adam Thielen on Friday, March 10, per Kevin Seifert. He would’ve counted $19.97 million towards Minnesota’s cap. Thielen will test free agency for the first time in his 10-year career.
Thielen played in all 17 games last season. He brought in 70 receptions on 107 targets for 716 yards and six touchdowns. Thielen played second fiddle to Justin Jefferson and likely wants to have a bigger role wherever he lands. Despite this being his 10th season in the NFL, he still should have a lot of interest from teams, depending on his asking price. Thielen will turn 33 ahead of the 2023 season.
Thielen holds the record for the most consecutive 100-yard receiving games with eight. He has always been tough for defenses to contain despite being a smaller pass-catcher. Thielen had 1,373 yards in 2018 when he set his NFL record and added nine touchdowns. His career high in touchdowns actually came in 2020 when he had 74 receptions for 925 yards but was the definition of a redzone threat with 14 scores.

The 2023 NFL league year gets underway on Wednesday, March 15 at 4 p.m. ET, but ahead of that we get 52 hours of negotiations during the “tampering” period. The negotiation period starts at 12 p.m. on Monday, and teams can begin talking to players and agreeing to terms. Contracts cannot be executed until Wednesday at 4 p.m., but deals will get mostly finalized in that two-day window.
It’s also safe to say that negotiations have been underway since well before the negotiation period opened. It’s “legal tampering”, for lack of a better phrase, and it happens all across the NFL. That’s how we get rumors five minutes into free agency about someone agreeing to a complex contract that definitely took more than five minutes just to draft, let along be negotiated.
Whatever the case, we’re going to provide live updates over the next 52 hours of all the deals agreed to before the league year begins. Players that were released are free to sign their deals ahead of the new league year. Players who have deals that expired at the end of the 2023 season cannot officially sign until Wednesday.

NFL free agency negotiation period, day 1​

  • QB Easton Stick agrees to terms on new deal with ChargersIan Rapoport
  • RB Nyheim Hines is reworking his deal to stay with the BillsMike Garofolo
  • The 49ers are re-signing S Tashaun Gipson to a 1-year deal — Ari Meirov
