One offseason addition for each NFL team that should make fans excited

The Cardinals weren’t shy about improving their pass rush, giving Sweat a four-year, $76.4 million deal to come over from Philly. He’s coming off an eight-sack season and should make an immediate impact.

Atlanta tried to improve their pass rush with not one but two edge rushers in the first round of the draft. Walker and James Pearce Jr. could threaten quarterbacks for years to come.

The Ravens focused on their defense in the draft, led by Starks. The first rounder out of Georgia strengthens an already imposing secondary.

After nine seasons with the Chargers, Bosa is hoping to win a Super Bowl in Buffalo. The oft-injured defensive end signed a one-year deal with the Bills, but he continues to be an effective pass rusher when healthy.

The Panthers drafted a potential No. 1 receiver for Bryce Young with McMillan, the eighth pick in the draft. The 6-foot-4 star out of Arizona gives the team an imposing deep and Red Zone threat.

Chicago made several exciting offensive additions in the offseason, but remaking their offensive line was most important. Thuney was the most notable, as an All-Pro in back-to-back seasons with the Chiefs. With the addition of head coach Ben Johnson, Caleb Williams is set up to succeed in his second season.

The Bengals needed to make changes after two down years on defense. They have a new coordinator (Al Golden), and a remade defensive line with T.J. Slaton and first-round pick Shemar Stewart. The raw Stewart could need time to find his footing in the NFL, but has the raw tools to be an excellent edge rusher.

Unfortunately, the Nick Chubb era is likely over in Cleveland, but Judkins brings new optimism for the running game. The second-round pick could step in as the immediate starter for the rebuilding Browns.

The Cowboys lacked burst at running back last year following Tony Pollard’s departure, but Williams is highly capable of filling the void. He gained more than 1,000 yards from scrimmage twice in four seasons with the Broncos.

Engram had a career year with the Jaguars in 2023, making his second Pro Bowl, but missed much of last season to injury. He’s looking to rebound in Denver, and could hear his number called often in Sean Payton’s offense.

The Lions saw some turnover in the secondary during the offseason, but the addition of Reed lightens the blow. He signed a three-year, $48 million contract after three outstanding seasons with the Jets.

The Packers have a strong wide receiver room, but it was revamped even more in the draft. Golden was selected in the first round, and the team also added Savion Williams in the third round. Jordan Love has an embarrassment of riches entering 2025.

Houston had to address wideout after losing Stefon Diggs and a late-season injury to Tank Dell. Kirk could be an excellent complement to Nico Collins underneath, and the team also drafted Iowa State teammates Jaylin Noel and Jayden Higgins.

The quarterback situation in Indy remains murky with Anthony Richardson and former Giant Daniel Jones, but the team can feel more comfortable about its future tight end. First-round pick Tyler Warren adds an imposing option alongside a talented receiver room.

Jacksonville traded up for Hunter, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner and potential two-way star. He’s expected to focus more on wide receiver in his rookie season, but could be a key part of the team’s defense, as well.

Cornerback depth was lacking for the Chiefs last season after trading L’Jarius Sneed, but Fulton strengthens that area. He also helps soften the blow of losing starting safety Justin Reid.

The Raiders made a pair of splashes with the hiring of Pete Carroll and the trade for Geno Smith. Jeanty’s addition in the first round of the draft could be the move with the most lasting impact, as the former Boise State star adds star upside to a Raiders offense that was stagnant last season.

The Chargers were focused on the run last year, and Hampton’s addition in the first round helps their cause. A bruising runner at North Carolina, he’s coming off back-to-back 1,500 rushing seasons, and could step in immediately as the Chargers bell cow back.

The Rams moved on from Cooper Kupp in the offseason, but Adams represents an upgrade. The likely future Hall of Famer adds to what could be one more Super Bowl run for the Rams alongside Puka Nacua.

Miami is getting younger on defense after loading up on veterans last year. Grant has a chance to be the defensive line anchor for years to come after being drafted in the first round.

The Vikings continued to spend in the offseason, adding both Allen and Javon Hargrave to their defensive line. Adding to Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkel, Minnesota could have one of the top pass rushes in the league this season.

The Patriots prioritized adding talent around Drake Maye, and the addition of Diggs is proof. He’s on the downside of his career and coming back from injury, but gives the Patriots a legitimate No. 1 receiver.

As the Saints dig out of salary cap hell, they continue to make incremental moves in free agency. Reid comes over from KC, joining fellow former Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu to make an excellent safety pairing.

Giants fans weren’t very excited about the additions of veteran quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, but Dart gives them something to look forward to. The first-round pick out of Ole Miss will be given time to develop, though fans hope he forces his way onto the field.

The Aaron Rodgers era is one Jets fans would like to forget, and perhaps Fields will help. The former first-round pick hasn’t found his footing with the Bears or Steelers, but will be given room to make mistakes on a rebuilding Jets squad. His dynamic ability adds excitement to the offense, if nothing else.

The Eagles and Howie Roseman have successfully rebuilt their front seven repeatedly, and Campbell should help in that endeavor. The first-round pick recorded five sacks with Alabama last season, and could make an immediate impact in his rookie season.

While the Steelers haven’t addressed their quarterback situation yet, Metcalf shores up the receiver room. The former Seahawks star remains an imposing deep threat, and provides more consistency for the Steelers offense.

Javon Hargrave’s absence for most of last season showed on the field, and the 49ers hope Williams can help. The first-round pick out of Georgia was a strong contributor, and comes from a program with an excellent track record of producing pass rushers.

Seattle moved on from Geno Smith in favor of a quarterback they feel has more upside in Darnold. He was terrific for most of last season in Minnesota, and has high expectations with his new team.

Reddick had a forgettable and short tenure with the Jets, but hopes to rebound in Tampa Bay. Last season ended a streak of four straight seasons with double-digit sacks, and he’s capable of jumpstarting the Bucs pass rush.

The first overall pick in the draft, Ward is the future in Tennessee after the short Will Levis era. The Titans hope they’ve found their franchise quarterback after adding weapons at other offensive positions last offseason.

Washington struggled to find production beyond Terry McLaurin in their wideout room last year. Samuel is coming off a down year in San Francisco, but is still a scary player with the ball in his hands and has a chance to help Jayden Daniels improve the offense even more.
