The 2024 regular season has been put to bed and we're on the doorstep of Super Bowl LIX. After the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles duke it out for a Lombardi Trophy, the NFL will fully transition into the offseason. Already, we have teams making preparations for the upcoming 2025 campaign and formulating a plan for how they'll retool their rosters in order to make a deep playoff push. 

While there won't be any games for us to digest, the offseason has proven time and time again to have some of the more hectic periods on the NFL calendar, particularly free agency. This offseason, there are plenty of big names currently aimed to hit the open market, including Tee Higgins, Sam Darnold, Stefon Diggs and Khalil Mack
