2025 NFL Offseason Acquisition Digest

With training camps underway, the time to reflect on the spring/summer that was is also here. Spotrac details notable acquisitions by way of free agency, extension, or trade for every NFL team, while also detailing the current QB1 financial status for each.

Arizona Cardinals

Quarterback
Kyler Murray is under contract for another 4 years, $157.8M through 2028, with early vesting guarantees through the 2027 season. For practical purposes this is a 3 year, $111M deal going forward.

Free Agency
Signed OLB Josh Sweat to a 4 year $76.4M contract that includes $38M fully guaranteed through 2026. Sweat projects to become 1 of 6 new starters on the defensive side of the ball for Arizona in 2025.

Extension
Signed TE Trey McBride to a 4 year, $76M extension that includes $35.5M guaranteed through 2026 and 3 years, $44M for practical purposes. The deal makes McBride the 2nd highest paid TE in football by almost every financial metric.

Atlanta Falcons

Quarterback
Messy. Michael Penix Jr. enters Year 2 of his rookie deal, carrying 3 years, $8.6M fully guaranteed through 2027, plus the 5th-year option available in 2028. That is largely overshadowed however by the $37.5M fully guaranteed to Kirk Cousins, including $27.5M this season, and $10M in 2026.

Free Agency
Signed OLB Leonard Floyd to a 1 year, $10M fully guaranteed contract - the largest guarantee Atlanta handed out this free agent season. Floyd should bookend new first round pick Jalon Walker, factoring into a highly rebuilt defense for 2025.

Extension
OT Jake Matthews garnered a 2 year, $45M extension that includes $38M fully guaranteed through 2026, his 34-year-old season. The final 2 years, $38M of the deal are loosely considered option years.

Baltimore Ravens

Quarterback
Lamar Jackson has 3 years, $146.75M remaining on his contract, but is staring down future cap hits of $74.5M in each of 2026/2027. Baltimore will be motivated to spread this out a bit more both for cash and capflow purposes. Mathematically speaking, Jackson is a $68M per year player in our system.

Free Agency
WR DeAndre Hopkins’ fully guaranteed 1 year, $5M contract is the largest guarantee Baltimore handed out this free agency. The 33-year-old can add another million to the deal by way of incentives.

Extension
The two largest extensions likely haven’t happened yet (QB Lamar Jackson, S Kyle Hamilton) but OT Ronnie Stanley’s 3 year, $60M contract to avoid free agency was certainly a good start. The deal includes $44M fully guaranteed through 2026, putting Stanley on track to eclipse $150M in career earnings.

Buffalo Bills

Quarterback
Josh Allen’s new contract guarantees him $232.5M through 2028, making it a 5 year $272.5M deal for practical purposes. Allen will be 33 years old after the 2029 season, setting himself up for (at least) one more big payday thereafter.

Free Agency
WR Josh Palmer leaves the Chargers on a 3 year, $29M free agent contract that includes $18M guaranteed through 2026. The 26-year-old can add $2M per year based on receiving incentives. He’s a not-so-sneaky big season candidate.

Extension
Many. QB Josh Allen did a start-over 6 year, $330M contract ($250M guaranteed) that replaced 4 years, $171M remaining previously. While Allen didn’t “max out” on this new deal, the 4 year, $220M payout structure is easily the new high bar. Elsewhere, DE Greg Rousseau extended out of his 5th-year option on a 4 year, $80M deal that includes $54M guaranteed through 2027. CB Christian Benford turned a $3.3M salary into $37.6M fully guaranteed on his new 4 year, $69M extension. WR Khalil Shakir locked in $30M guaranteed on his 4 year, $53M extension, while LB Terrel Bernard is guaranteed nearly $24M on his new 4 year, $42M contract.

Carolina Panthers

Quarterback
Bryce Young enters the all important Year 3 of his rookie contract, with 2 years, $10.1M fully guaranteed remaining - plus an available 5th-year option for 2027. Young showed signs of life in 2024, and will become extension-eligible for the first time this coming January.

Free Agency
S Trevon Moehrig left the Raiders on a 3 year, $51M contract that includes $34.5M fully guaranteed through 2026. He can add $1.5M per year based on Pro Bowl/All-Pro honors.

Extension
Jaycee Horn was the first big cornerback extension domino to fall this offseason, when Carolina locked him in to 4 years, $100M new through 2029. The 26-year-old gets $72M in early-vesting guarantees, setting up 4 years, $87.5M for practical purposes.

Chicago Bears

Quarterback

Caleb Williams enters Year 2 of a rookie deal that contains 3 years, $13.1M fully guaranteed remaining plus a 5th-year option in 2028. Williams won’t become extension-eligible until after the 2026 season.

Free Agency
DE Dayo Odeyingbo left Indy on a 3 year, $48M free agent contract that includes $29.5M fully guaranteed through 2026. The 26-year-old should see $33M over the next two seasons for practical purposes. Also of note, C Drew Dalman was added from Atlanta on a 3 year, $42M contract ($26.5M fully guaranteed).

Extension
Guards Jonah Jackson (3 years, $52.5M, $24.5M guaranteed) & Joe Thuney (2 years, $35M, $33.5M guaranteed) were both acquired and extended to immediately reinforce Caleb Williams’ interior line. NB Kyler Gordon’s 3 year, $40M deal ($21M guaranteed) helps to solidify the secondary for two more seasons as well.

Trade
The Bears acquired G Jonah Jackson from the Rams in exchange for a 2025 6th Rd Pick and G Joe Thuney from the Chiefs in exchange for a 2026 4th Rd Pick. Both players were subsequently extended.

Cincinnati Bengals

Quarterback
Joe Burrow enters Year 3 of his 7 year, $310M total value contract in Cincy, set to earn over $35M for the upcoming season. The guarantee structure makes this a 3 year, $107M contract for practical purposes, setting up Burrow for another splash payday at around 32-years-old.

Free Agency
DT Tedarrell Slaton joined from Green Bay on a 2 year, $14.1M contract that includes $5M fully guaranteed, the largest guarantee handed out by the Bengals this free agency. Slaton projects to start on a defensive line that is very much in flux right now.

Extension
Still one more to come (Trey Hendrickson), but the Bengals were aggressive in locking in top weapons this offseason, signing WR Ja'Marr Chase (4 years, $161M new, $112M guaranteed), and WR Tee Higgins (4 years, $115M, $41M guaranteed). For Chase it’s a 4 year, $138M deal practically, while Higgins secures a much more tempered 2 year, $59M protected outlook. At over $79M in combined AAV, the Bengals now carry the highest paid WR room in football.

Cleveland Browns

Quarterback
TBD. Joe Flacco holds $3M guaranteed on a max $13M salary, Kenny Pickett is fully guaranteed his $2.6M salary this season, Dillon Gabriel’s $1.1M signing bonus is the only locked in portion of his rookie contract, as is Shedeur Sanders’ $447,380. And of course despite his $92M guaranteed through 2026, Deshaun Watson is not expected to return to action for the Browns.

Free Agency
DT Maliek Collins joins from San Francisco on a 2 year $20M free agent contract that includes $10M fully guaranteed, all in 2025. Collins figures to join new first round pick Mason Graham on the interior of Cleveland’s starting defensive line this season.

Extension
Cleveland’s singular extension this offseason was a big one, removing Myles Garrett from the trade hot stove with a 4 year, $160M new money extension that includes $123.5M of full, early vesting guarantee through the 2028 season. Garrett earned $100M across 5 seasons on his previous contract, but will now see exactly that much over the next 3 seasons combined.

Trade
The Browns acquired QB Kenny Pickett from Philly, giving up QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson and a 2025 5th Rd Pick. Pickett comes with a 1 year, $2.6M contract, and is very much in the mix to be the Week 1 starting QB.

Dallas Cowboys

Quarterback
Dak Prescott enters Year 2 of his 5 year, $274M total value contract that includes $149.75M more of early vesting guarantees through 2028. It’ll take a full salary buyout to get out of this contract anytime soon.

Free Agency
DE Dante Fowler Jr. signed a 1 year, $6M contract that includes $5M fully guaranteed, $1M in per-game active bonus, and $2M more if he reaches 11 sacks this season.

Extension
Micah Parsons’ blockbuster is still pending, but the Cowboys got their offseason off to a hot start with an early March 4 year, $80M contract extension for DT Osa Odighizuwa. The pending free agent secured $39M fully guaranteed through 2026.

Trade
Dallas began the league year by acquiring CB Kaiir Elam (1 year, $2.5M) from the Bills, LB Kenneth Murray (1 year, $7.5M) from the Titans, and QB Joe Milton III (3 years, $3.2M) from the Patriots. The Cowboys relinquished 4 late round draft picks to process these trades. In May, Dallas finalized the acquisition of WR George Pickens (1 year, $3.6M) from Pittsburgh with a 6th Rd pick in exchange for 3rd & 5th Rd picks.

Denver Broncos

Quarterback
Bo Nix enters Year 2 of a rookie contract that has 3 years, $7.5M remaining plus a 5th-year option in 2028. He won’t become extension-eligible until after the 2026 season.

Free Agency
S Talanoa Hufanga joins from San Francisco on a 3 year, $39M free agent contract that includes $20M fully guaranteed through 2026. The 26-year-old can add another $1.5M annually based on interceptions and All-Pro honors.

Extension
A few more candidates remain (WR Courtland Sutton, DE Zach Allen) but Denver was able to keep DT D.J. Jones off of the open market with a 3 year, $30M extension that includes $26M fully guaranteed through 2026.

Detroit Lions

Quarterback
Jared Goff enters Year 2 of a 5 year, $240M contract that includes $95M more guaranteed through the 2027 season. Goff threw for a career-high 37 TDs in 2024.

Free Agency
CB D.J. Reed leaves the Jets on a 3 year, $48M free agent contract that includes $31M fully guaranteed through 2026. Reed should slide right into a starting RCB role amidst a very talented secondary in Detroit.

Extension
Speaking of which: S Kerby Joseph signed a 4 year, $86M extension out of the final year of his rookie contract that includes $36M practically guaranteed through the 2027 season. Joseph posted a career-high 9 INTs in 2025, and now has 17 in just 3 NFL seasons.

Green Bay Packers

Quarterback
Jordan Love enters Year 2 of his 4 year, $220M rookie extension, set to earn $13M in 2025. The 26-year-old has $84M of early vesting guarantee remaining on the deal through the 2027 season.

Free Agency

Extension

Houston Texans

Quarterback
C.J. Stroud enters an all-important Year 3 of his rookie contract, set to earn $4M in 2025. The 23-year-old becomes extension-eligible for the first time after the upcoming season, and could be in line to reset the QB market.

Free Agency
