NFL Nation is made up of 32 team-specific reporters who cover the NFL year-round across ESPN.com, ESPN television shows, ESPN Radio, ESPN+ and social media platforms. It was established ahead of the 2013 season.
NFL free agency was a frenzy well before players were able to officially sign on 4 p.m. ET Wednesday, with a number of high-profile deals -- including eyebrow-raising trades -- agreed upon ahead of or during the legal negotiation window.
Geno Smith (Raiders), Sam Darnold (Seahawks), Justin Fields (Jets) and Daniel Jones (Colts) are among the quarterbacks who have already switched addresses, while big names at other positions -- DeAndre Hopkins (Ravens), Joey Bosa (Bills), Najee Harris (Chargers) and Davante Adams (Rams) -- also made headlines.
Below is a team-by-team look at impact signings for all 32 teams. ESPN's grades on the biggest deals and our rankings of the top available players will continue to be updated until 2025 NFL free agency careens to a stop.

Miami added some depth during the legal tampering window, with former Jets starting QB Zach Wilson and wideout Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (9 TDs with the Titans in 2024) among the most recognizable names.
The Texans haven't made any splash signings, but they have made waves in the trade market. They first traded for receiver Christian Kirk last week before trading away All-Pro left tackle Laremy Tunsil on Monday. Then on Tuesday, they traded for defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson.
The acquisition of former Giants starting QB Daniel Jones was the splashiest early move by the Colts, but the secondary also underwent significant changes as well via agreements with CB Charvarius Ward and S Camryn Bynum.
The biggest early move for the Titans came across the offensive line, where Tennessee worked a deal for ex-Steeler Dan Moore Jr., considered the best available left tackle, valued at four years and $82 million.
The Chargers were not expected to be major players in free agency and that expectation has mostly held, though the addition of Najee Harris signals a change to the running back room and the re-signing of defensive stalwart Khalil Mack answers another key question.
What moves the Giants will make at the quarterback position remain in question, but the additions of S Jevon Holland (ex-Dolphins) and DE Chauncey Golston (ex-Cowboys) signal a less-scrutinized effort to improve the defense.
The Eagles have been quiet in free agency so far -- in terms of additions. Defensive linemen Milton Williams and Josh Sweat, along with secondary members Darius Slay and Isaiah Rodgers, are among those who have new teams. Philly did re-sign LB Zack Baun, however, to answer a major question for the Super Bowl champs.
DT Javon Kinlaw was the biggest name with whom the Commanders agreed to a deal early in free agency, as the former San Francisco 49ers and New York Jets lineman is set to join Washington on a three-year deal worth $45 million, with $30 million guaranteed. The acquisition of WR Deebo Samuel Sr. via trade was another big move of the free agency period in Washington.
The Packers filled a couple of needs as free agency got underway, with guard Aaron Banks (ex-49ers) agreeing to a four-year, $77 million deal and CB Nate Hobbs (ex-Raiders) coming to Green Bay on a four-year, $48 million deal that includes a $16 million signing bonus.
The salary cap-strapped Falcons have not been wildly active in free agency so far, making some depth style deals with the likes of former 49ers pass rusher Leonard Floyd and ex-Raiders LB Divine Deablo.
The Panthers are serious about upgrading their defensive talent, agreeing to new multi-year contracts with DT Tershawn Wharton (ex-Chief, three-year, $54 million deal); DT Bobby Brown III (ex-Ram, three-year contract worth $21 million); LB Pat Jones II (ex-Viking, two-year contract worth $20 million) and S Tre'von Moehrig, S (ex-Raider, three-year, $51 million deal).
The Saints added a big name on the defensive side of the ball, with former Chiefs safety Justin Reid joining a group that also saw pass rusher Chase Young re-signed to stay in New Orleans.
