32 NFL players who should change teams in the 2025 offseason - ESPN

Sometimes change is just needed, and NFL players are not exempt from this philosophy.

There are plenty of examples of players flourishing with new teams, with Saquon Barkley's record-setting season and Sam Darnold's resurgence in 2024 being some of the highlights.

Now, we turn to 2025, when the offseason is once again sure to bring change for several players. We asked our NFL Nation reporters to name one player from each team who might benefit from a fresh start and to explain why the move could benefit the player and/or team.

Who could be on the move? Here's what our reporters had to say:

CB Kaiir Elam

It just hasn't worked out for Elam with the Bills. The 2022 first-round pick has largely served as a backup in his three seasons with the team. Though the Bills could be searching for a new starter at outside cornerback with Rasul Douglas set to hit free agency, Elam hasn't shown enough on field to be in early contention for that role. It's a sign that it may be time to move on. — Alaina Getzenberg

OL Liam Eichenberg

Eichenberg is a versatile player who has played every position on the line for Miami in his four seasons with the team. But the jack-of-all-trades has been plagued by inconsistent and poor play. He ranked 60th out of 64 qualifing offensive guards last season in pass block win rate and allowed the 10th-most sacks of any guard. As the Dolphins look to rebuild their offensive line, the free agent Eichenberg could likely use a fresh start elsewhere — his versatility should keep him employed in the NFL. — Marcel Louis-Jacques
