The first wave of the 2025 NFL free agency cycle brought a lot of movement. A few standout veterans found new homes — including edge rusher Josh Sweat (Cardinals) and quarterback Sam Darnold (Seahawks) — while others stayed put with extensions. Now that free agency has slowed down and the 2025 NFL draft is exactly one month away, we're restacking all 32 teams based off the moves each has made this offseason.
Has the addition of quarterback Geno Smith affected the Raiders' standing in our Power Rankings? Did the 49ers' roster purge impact their place in the NFC?
In addition to our post-free agency rankings, NFL Nation reporters offered up an under-the-radar move made by the team they cover. These moves range from re-signings and signings to coach hirings. Let's start with the No. 1 spot.
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.

That's been hard to find for Kansas City lately, as it lacked a breakaway threat at running back last season. Mitchell offers a nice contrast to Kareem Hunt and Isiah Pacheco, the Chiefs' other top backs. — Adam Teicher
