Early NFL Power Rankings 2025: How do Eagles, Chiefs stack up? - ESPN

It's never too early to kick off our 2025 NFL Power Rankings. After the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, we are already looking ahead to next season.

Forget that free agency doesn't start for another month or that the NFL draft is more than two months away. Let's take a look at every team and preview what the offseason has in store.

In addition to our way-too-early rankings, our NFL Nation reporters offer up three words to describe this offseason for every team. Six teams have new head coaches (and New Orleans will soon be the seventh), other teams need to find a quarterback, and a few have several key free agents they must make a decision on.

Our power panel of more than 80 writers, editors and TV personalities evaluates how NFL teams stack up against one another, ranking them from 1 to 32.

Kansas City will have four picks in the first three rounds, having acquired an additional pick early in Round 3 by trading cornerback L'Jarius Sneed to the Titans last offseason. — Adam Teicher
