2026 NFL Team Needs: Breaking Down Each Franchise’s Biggest Weaknesses

Teams are constantly evaluating their positional needs as the season progresses, identifying strengths and weaknesses that become more apparent each week. All 32 teams will face key decisions in the offseason as they look to shore up their rosters and build for sustained success. Some franchises will focus on retaining core players, while others will look to fill critical gaps created by expiring contracts or inconsistent performance.

To assess where each team stands, we relied on the PFSN Impact Rankings, which evaluated every qualified offensive and defensive player across the league. These rankings provide valuable insight into which areas need reinforcement and where standout performers have emerged, helping to paint a clearer picture of each team’s offseason priorities.

Arizona Cardinals

• OT, WR, S, OG, CB

Paris Johnson Jr. is the only offensive tackle on the roster who has taken a significant number of snaps in 2025 and is under contract for 2026. Throughout his career, Johnson has been an average or slightly above-average performer according to the PFSN Offensive Line Impact Rankings (OLi).

Evan Brown and Isaiah Adams are also under contract for next season, but there is still room for the Arizona Cardinals to improve at those positions. Brown has been graded as average or slightly below average in his career on the OLi, while Adams has consistently ranked poorly. Will Hernandez, who is set to become a free agent, recently replaced Adams in the starting lineup.

At safety, Budda Baker is under contract for this season, and his performance in his seventh year remains on par with most of his career. Dadrion Taylor-Demerson is the only other safety signed beyond this year who has played more than half of the defensive snaps. Both Taylor-Demerson and Jalen Thompson (who will be a free agent) have ranked highly on the PFSN Safety Impact Rankings (SAFi).

At cornerback, Arizona has several players signed for next year, but the key question is whether any of them can emerge as a top-tier partner alongside rookie Will Johnson.

When the Cardinals drafted Marvin Harrison Jr., they believed he would become Kyler Murray’s number-one receiver. However, he has yet to show that ability, leaving wide receiver as another area of need.

Atlanta Falcons

• TE, DT, WR, S, CB

At wide receiver, Drake London and Darnell Mooney have both seen their performance drop compared to last year, according to the PFSN Impact Rankings. Both players will be free agents after the 2026 season, so the Atlanta Falcons will need to find some long-term stability at the position to ensure Michael Penix Jr. has the talent around him to succeed.

The Falcons believed they had secured the tight end position for years when they drafted Kyle Pitts with the fourth overall pick in 2021. He is having his best season since his rookie campaign, based on the PFSN Tight End Impact Rankings (TEi). Charlie Woerner is the only tight end under contract for next season, so this will be an area of focus in the offseason.

The Falcons’ offensive line is performing around league average, according to the OLi. Tackles Elijah Wilkinson and Jake Matthews are the two lowest-graded among the five starters. Both remain above league average, but continuing to build depth behind them will be essential to ensure Penix is adequately protected.

The Falcons’ secondary will also be a priority in the offseason because the team needs more consistent production. At safety, Xavier Watts is performing at an above-average level according to the SAFi, while every other qualified Falcons safety is playing well below the league average.

At cornerback, the situation is the opposite. Every qualified Falcons player is performing above average based on the PFSN Cornerback Impact Rankings (CBi). A.J. Terrell leads the group as a top-15 cornerback, while the other starter, Dee Alford, is grading just below Terrell this season. Alford is set to become a free agent after the season, so the Falcons will need to address depth at the position if he departs.

Baltimore Ravens

• EDGE, TE, OG, DT, LB

The Baltimore Ravens’ secondary, anchored by All-Pro Kyle Harrison, is the only area of defense that isn’t a primary concern for Baltimore. However, the unit has still struggled at times, as the Ravens have allowed 37 points or more in four of their first five games this season.

Edge rusher is a position the Ravens believed they had stabilized when they selected Mike Green in the second round of the 2025 draft. However, Green has gotten off to a slow start, delivering below-average performances early in the season. Baltimore had hoped for a bigger impact from him, as he was once projected to go in the first round before off-field concerns caused him to slide late into the second. Meanwhile, veteran Kyle Van Noy, now 34, has seen his production decline significantly.

Roquan Smith has long led the Ravens’ linebacker group, but his 2025 performance has dipped early in the season. Smith ranked among the Top 10 in the PFSN Linebacker Impact Score (LBi) from 2019 through 2024, but his current form has fallen short of that standard. Rookie Teddye Buchanan has shown encouraging signs with a solid start, suggesting he could become a long-term contributor.

Baltimore’s tight end duo, Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely, have been highly productive when healthy, but both have missed time over the past few seasons. With both set to become free agents after this season, the Ravens could be left with a significant void in their offense.

The Ravens will also need to seek reinforcements at guard to help solidify the offensive line. Veterans Daniel Faalele and Ben Cleveland are set to hit free agency after the season, leaving Andrew Vorhees as the only guard currently under contract beyond 2025.

Buffalo Bills

• RB, WR, EDGE, OG, LB

The Buffalo Bills’ decision to extend James Cook before the season eliminated the risk of a major future void in the backfield. Cook ranks near the top of the PFSN Running Back Impact Rankings (RBi) this year and appears headed for his third consecutive top-10 season. Ray Davis has taken a step back after an encouraging rookie campaign. If his performance continues to decline, Buffalo may need to bring in competition for the backup running back role.

The Bills’ primary offensive need is finding a true WR1 for Josh Allen. Keon Coleman, now in his second season, has performed at an average level according to the PFSN Wide Receiver Impact Rankings (WRi). Khalil Shakir, Josh Palmer, and Curtis Samuel are all under contract for at least next season, with Shakir signed through 2029. If Buffalo can acquire an elite receiver, the perception of their wideout group could change significantly.

O’Cyrus Torrence is the only guard under contract for next season. The Bills must add both depth and quality to stabilize the position going forward.

Defensively, Buffalo enters another offseason with pressing needs. The unit’s inability to consistently stop opposing offenses has forced Allen into numerous high-scoring contests.

At EDGE, Gregory Rousseau remains under contract for several more seasons, while Joey Bosa is set to become a free agent. Bosa is having an above-average season, whereas Rousseau has graded around league average based on the PFSN EDGE Impact Rankings (EDGEi). Michael Hoecht has played over half of the defensive snaps this year, but the team will still need to reinforce the position after the season.

Linebacker Terrel Bernard, signed through 2029, has performed slightly above average according to the LBi. Matt Milano, a free agent after the season, continues to flash difference-making ability when healthy, but has struggled to stay on the field. Dorian Williams is the only other linebacker under contract for next year who has played more than half of the defensive snaps.

Carolina Panthers

• OT, EDGE, CB, OC, S

At offensive tackle, Taylor Moton and Ikem Ekwonu form one of the top-performing tackle duos in the league, with both playing at an above-average level based on the OLi. Moton and Ekwonu are under contract for next season, but the Carolina Panthers still need to add depth at the position.

The Panthers will need to address the center position in the offseason, as starter Cade Mays is set to become a free agent after the season. He has been a slightly below-average performer this year, according to the OLi.

Carolina also needs to upgrade at edge rusher, both in performance and depth. Patrick Jones II is under contract for next season and has played at an average level. However, 2025 second-round pick Nic Scourton, who has taken more than half of the defensive snaps, has not produced at the level expected from a high draft pick.

The Panthers will look to improve their cornerback group even though Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, and Chau Smith-Wade are all under contract for next season. Horn and Jackson have played nearly every defensive snap this year, with Horn performing at an average level and Jackson below average, both down from their play last season, according to the PFSN Cornerback Rankings.

The safety position will also need attention. Nick Scott, one of the top safeties in the league according to the PFSN Impact Rankings, is set to become a free agent after the season. Trevon Moehrig, the other safety who has played significant snaps and will be back next season, has graded well below average compared to the rest of the league. Rookie Lathan Ransom, a fourth-round selection, has played less than half of the defensive snaps and has graded poorly in his limited action.

Chicago Bears

• S, RB, EDGE, DT, WR

The Chicago Bears have no safeties under contract for the 2026 season, with all four currently on the roster set to become free agents. Kevin Byard and Jaquan Brisker have played nearly every defensive snap, but both have graded below average on the SAFi.

At EDGE, Montez Sweat, Dayo Odeyingbo, and Austin Booker are under contract for next season. Only Sweat has played a majority of the defensive snaps, while Odeyingbo has been on the field for less than half, and Booker missed the start of the season due to a knee injury. Sweat’s performance has declined from the standard he set over the last several years, according to the EDGEi. Chicago will need to upgrade both the quality and depth at the position.

The defensive tackle group is another area of need heading into the offseason. Grady Jarrett, Shemar Turner, and Gervon Dexter are under contract for next season. Jarrett missed multiple games in 2025 with a knee injury, and Dexter is the only one performing at an average level based on the PFSN DT Impact Rankings.

Running back D’Andre Swift is under contract through 2026, along with several depth options, but he remains the only key piece of the offense. Rookie Kyle Monangai has shown encouraging signs in limited action. Chicago appears to have a decent group under contract for 2026, but this offseason will be crucial to solidify a long-term plan to support Caleb Williams.

At wide receiver, D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze, and Luther Burden are all under contract for the next few seasons. Moore’s performance has slightly dipped compared to previous years, according to the PFSN WR Impact Rankings, while Odunze has shown marked improvement in his second season. The upgrade the Bears need at wide receiver might already be on the roster, but it’s an area that should be carefully evaluated this offseason.

Cincinnati Bengals

• CB, S, OC, DT, EDGE

The Cincinnati Bengals will need to upgrade at safety and cornerback in the offseason. Safety Geno Stone, who will be a free agent after the season, has been an above-average performer according to the PFSN Impact Rankings. Jordan Battle, who has taken almost all the defensive snaps and is under contract for next season, has been well below average this year.

DJ Turner is one of the best cornerbacks on the PFSN Impact Rankings in 2025 and is under contract through 2026. Two other cornerbacks expected to return next season are Dax Hill and Josh Newton. Hill has taken almost all the defensive snaps but has performed at a well below-average level, while Newton, who has played less than half of the snaps, has performed at an average level.

The defensive line, both at edge and defensive tackle, is another area of need. Cincinnati has several defensive tackles under contract for next season, but only B.J. Hill is performing at an average level according to the PFSN Impact Rankings.

Trey Hendrickson’s performance has dipped this season as trade rumors and contract negotiations swirl around him. The chances he remains with the team next season appear slim. Rookie Shemar Stewart, who was selected 17th overall, has struggled to find the field this year.

The 2023 first-round pick, Myles Murphy, is also under contract for next season but has not performed at a high level while playing less than half of the defensive snaps. Cincinnati has invested significant resources to improve its edge group, but those moves have yet to pay off.

Center Ted Karras is under contract for next season, but is having one of his worst years, according to the OLi. He has one more year left on his deal and will turn 33 next season.

Cleveland Browns

• QB, OG, OC, S, WR

The Cleveland Browns have struggled for decades to find a long-term solution at quarterback. After the 2021 season, the team moved on from former first overall pick Baker Mayfield to make way for Deshaun Watson, who has started only 19 games over his first three seasons due to suspension and injury.

In the 2025 draft, the Browns selected Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders in the third and fifth rounds, respectively. Either could develop into an NFL-caliber starting quarterback, but until that happens, the position will remain at the top of the team’s list of needs.

At guard, Joel Bitonio and Wyatt Teller are set to become free agents after this season. Both have performed well throughout their careers and have continued to do so in 2025. Bitonio has spent his entire 12-year career with the Browns, earning first- or second-team All-Pro honors five times. Teller, now in his seventh season with the team, has been named a second-team All-Pro twice. Teven Jenkins and Zak Zinter are the only guards currently under contract for next season.

Cleveland faces a similar situation at center, with four-year starter Ethan Pocic set to become a free agent after this season. Justin Osborne is the only center under contract beyond 2025, though he has yet to play an NFL snap and is currently on injured reserve.

The Browns’ starting safeties, Grant Delpit and Ronnie Hickman Jr., have delivered average performances this season, leaving room for improvement. Hickman is set to become a free agent, leaving Delpit and Donovan McMillon as the only safeties under contract for next year.

The team’s uncertainty at quarterback has magnified the lack of a true No. 1 wide receiver. The position remains a clear area of need for Cleveland. Starters Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond have performed below league average this season, though both are under contract beyond 2025. Cedric Tillman appeared poised for a breakout year before being slowed by injury.

Dallas Cowboys

• EDGE, LB, TE, WR, CB

The Dallas Cowboys lost significant production at EDGE after the 2024 season, with DeMarcus Lawrence leaving in free agency and Micah Parsons being traded to Green Bay. Dallas will have some players returning at the position, including rookie Donovan Ezeiruaku, who has performed slightly below average on the EDGEi. This is a major area of need, as the lack of consistent pass rush has further exposed an underperforming group of cornerbacks.

Linebacker is one area where the Cowboys have depth under contract and players capable of contributing, but they lack a true game-changer. The team remains high on third-year player DeMarvion Overshown, though he has battled injuries and struggled to stay healthy. Rookie Shemar James has performed above average according to LBi.

DaRon Bland and Trevon Diggs are both under contract for the next few years, but neither has performed at an average level this season, according to the CBi. Both have also dealt with injuries, resulting in significant time missed over the past few seasons.

Wide receiver could become an area of need if the team fails to re-sign George Pickens to pair long-term with CeeDee Lamb. The Cowboys have a strong track record of finding reliable third and fourth receivers, with Jalen Tolbert and Ryan Flournoy being recent examples. However, both Pickens and Tolbert are set to become free agents, creating a potential need to add support for Lamb.

Jake Ferguson appears to have regained his Pro Bowl form from 2023 after dealing with injuries last season. He is signed for the next few years, but the Cowboys need more production from their second tight end. Luke Schoonmaker remains under contract for next season, but has not performed at the level the team hoped for when they selected him in the second round of the 2023 draft.

Denver Broncos

• WR, DT, OC, EDGE, LB

Courtland Sutton has returned to the level of production he showed as a rookie in 2020, when he ranked as a top-20 wide receiver according to the PFSN Impact Rankings. Over the previous four seasons, he had fallen into the 43–55 range. Second-year player Troy Franklin has made noticeable progress from his rookie campaign, while Marvin Mims Jr. has proven capable of delivering consistent performances. The Denver Broncos’ priority will be to continue building depth at receiver to give Bo Nix more reliable options.

At center, Alex Forsyth is the only player under contract for next season. Current starter Luke Wattenberg, who has played nearly every offensive snap this year, is set to enter free agency. He has performed slightly above the league average at his position.

The Broncos’ defensive line and linebacker units remain areas of need. The team must address both positions in free agency and the draft to maintain its status as one of the league’s top defenses. In 2024, Denver led the league in overall defensive performance according to the PFSN Impact Rankings and remains near the top in 2025.

According to the PFSN Impact Rankings, Nik Bonitto, Jonathon Cooper, Zach Allen, and D.J. Jones have all performed at or above the league average. These four players, along with Dre Greenlaw, are under contract for next season. Key contributors not currently under contract include John Franklin-Myers, Alex Singleton, and Justin Strnad, all of whom also graded at or above the league average in the PFSN Impact Rankings.

Detroit Lions

• EDGE, OC, LB, S, CB

The Detroit Lions have one of the league’s premier EDGE players in Aidan Hutchinson, but no other players at that position are under contract for next season. Hutchinson, who missed most of last season with a leg injury sustained in October, has returned close to his pre-injury form, according to the EDGEi. To maximize Hutchinson’s impact, Detroit needs to add productive players on the opposite side of the defensive line.

Detroit’s secondary remains largely intact for next season, with Kerby Joseph, Brian Branch, D.J. Reed, and Terrion Arnold all under contract. However, the team will need to address depth around those starters during the offseason. Reed, who landed on injured reserve early in the year with a hamstring injury, has been performing well above average based on the CBi. Joseph and Branch are also playing at an above-average level, according to the SAFi.

At linebacker, Derrick Barnes and Jack Campbell are the only players under contract for next season. Campbell ranked 63rd on the LBi in 2023, improved to 15th last season, and has continued his upward trajectory this year. Alex Anzalone, a pending free agent, is likewise grading as an above-average linebacker.

Center Frank Ragnow’s retirement before the season left a void in the middle of Detroit’s offensive line. Ragnow had been a top-five center in each of the previous three seasons, according to the OLi. His replacement, Graham Glasgow, has performed at a league-average level after shifting to center from guard. The Lions will need to determine whether the 10-year veteran can be a viable solution at the position next season.

Green Bay Packers

• CB, DT, LB, OT, WR

At cornerback, Nate Hobbs, Keisean Nixon, and Carrington Valentine are under contract for next season. Nixon is grading highly on the CBi, while Hobbs and Valentine are among the league’s lowest-graded players. The Green Bay Packers will need to find another corner who can perform closer to Nixon’s level and also build out depth at the position.

Wide receiver Romeo Doubs is set to be a free agent after the season. Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, Jayden Reed, and Dontayvion Wicks are all under contract through 2026. Based on the PFSN WR Impact Rankings for 2025, Golden is playing at an above-average level, while Wicks is slightly below league average. Watson and Reed were above average in 2024. Green Bay still needs to add depth to handle potential injuries and maintain consistency throughout the season.

The Packers created a hole at defensive tackle when they traded Kenny Clark to the Cowboys as part of the Micah Parsons trade. Devonte Wyatt is putting together a strong season based on the PFSN DT Impact Rankings, while Colby Wooden and Karl Brooks are performing at league-average levels. Wyatt, Wooden, and Brooks all become free agents after the 2026 season, so Green Bay will need to start building long-term depth at defensive tackle.

Linebacker Quay Walker is set to become a free agent after this season. Two linebackers under contract for next year, Edgerrin Cooper, who has played nearly every defensive snap this season, and Isaiah McDuffie, who has participated in less than 35 percent of defensive snaps, will likely lead the position group heading into 2026.

Houston Texans

• DT, OT, OG, LB, RB

The Houston Texans’ interior defensive line currently has only Mario Edwards Jr. and Tommy Togiai under contract for next season. Edwards and Togiai will bring some experience back, but both have played fewer than half of the defensive snaps this year.

At offensive tackle, the team needs both improved performance and added depth. Tytus Howard, who has one year remaining on his contract after 2025, has performed at an average level according to PFSN’s Impact Ranking. Aireontae Ersery has taken the majority of offensive snaps at the other tackle spot but has had an unproductive season.

Another upgrade will be needed along the offensive line at guard. Outside of Juice Scruggs, the team does not have any guards under contract for 2026 who have taken significant snaps. Scruggs ranks among the lowest offensive linemen in the league according to the PFSN Impact Rankings.

Houston also needs a boost in linebacker production while building depth at the position. Henry To’oTo’o, who has graded below average on the LBi, is the only linebacker signed for next season who has played a significant number of defensive snaps.

At running back, Woody Marks is the only player set to return next season who has taken a decent amount of snaps. In limited action, Marks has graded below average on the RBi. Joe Mixon, who missed the start of the season with an ankle and foot injury, remains under contract for next year and will be 30 years old.

Indianapolis Colts

• OT, LB, OC, QB, S

The Indianapolis Colts have been the surprise of the season with the unexpected performance of Daniel Jones, who won the job over former top-four pick Anthony Richardson in training camp. Jones is playing the best football of his career and is one of the leaders in the PFSN Quarterback Impact Rankings (QBi).

He will be a free agent after this season, so Indianapolis must determine whether this performance is sustainable beyond one year. It is a similar decision to the one the Vikings faced with Sam Darnold, but the Colts do not have a recent first-round quarterback waiting in the wings.

Center Tanor Bortolini is playing above the league average, according to the OLi. He is signed through 2027, but the Colts will need to build depth behind him in the offseason.

At tackle, Bernhard Raimann has performed above the league average based on the PFSN Impact Rankings, but his play has dipped slightly compared to the previous two seasons. According to the same rankings, Braden Smith was graded among the top 11 offensive tackles for five straight seasons from 2019 to 2023.

Over the last two years, his performance has declined, and he is set to become a free agent after the season. The team will need to fill Smith’s spot on the offensive line. One possible solution is Matt Goncalves, who has been above average at guard and could shift back to tackle.

Cam Bynum is one of the top safeties in the league based on the PFSN SAFi, an upgrade from his above-average performance during his first three seasons. Bynum is under contract through 2028 and is the only safety with meaningful defensive snaps set to return next year. Nick Cross, the other safety, is scheduled to become a free agent.

Zaire Franklin is the only linebacker the Colts have under contract for next season. According to the LBi, Franklin is performing at an average level this season, a drop from his previous three years, when he ranked in the top 15. Indianapolis will need to add both quantity and quality through the draft and free agency to stabilize the linebacker group.

Jacksonville Jaguars

• TE, LB, DT, CB, RB

The Jacksonville Jaguars have several defensive positions that need to be addressed in the offseason to remain competitive for a playoff spot in the AFC. Defensive tackle, linebacker, and cornerback will all require attention from the front office.

Foyesade Oluokun is the only linebacker under contract for 2026 who has played more than 25% of the defensive snaps this season. Oluokun is a strong foundational piece, having graded above average and ranked among the top 20 linebackers in each of the last six seasons, according to the LBi. Jacksonville will need to add more depth at linebacker and could benefit from pairing Oluokun with another impact player.

Arik Armstead and Davon Hamilton are under contract through 2026. According to the PFSN Defensive Tackle Impact Rankings (DTi), Armstead is performing at a league-average level, while Hamilton has graded below average. Jacksonville will look to add depth and improve production at the position during the offseason.

Greg Newsome II, who was acquired from Cleveland earlier in the season in exchange for Tyson Campbell, is set to become a free agent. Two cornerbacks under contract for next season, Jarrian Jones and Jourdan Lewis, have been key contributors. Jones has started opposite Newsome, while Lewis has served as the primary nickelback.

Based on the CBi, Lewis has graded above average, while Jones has been below league average. Pending free agent Montaric Brown currently holds the highest grade among Jaguars cornerbacks.

The Jaguars may have an elite cornerback in Travis Hunter, but he continues to split time between offense and defense. Hunter has played fewer than 45% of the defensive snaps this season.

Tight ends Brenton Strange, Hunter Long, and Johnny Mundt are all under contract for next season. Strange has earned strong marks on the TEi early in 2025 and has shown improvement from last year. The Jaguars have solid depth at the position, but could still look to acquire a top-tier pass-catching tight end unless Strange continues his upward trajectory.

Running back Travis Etienne is set to become a free agent after the season. His performance this year has been closer to his rookie-level form than his 2024 campaign. The Jaguars have Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen under contract through 2026, though both have seen limited action this season. If Etienne departs, Jacksonville will need to find a back capable of handling his workload.

Kansas City Chiefs

• CB, OG, RB, TE, EDGE

The Kansas City Chiefs have three of the best cornerbacks this season, according to the PFSN Impact Rankings: Trent McDuffie, Jaylen Watson, and Nohl Williams. Watson is set to become a free agent after this season, and McDuffie will follow after next season. Rebuilding cornerback depth in the offseason will be a key priority for Kansas City.

On the offensive line, the Chiefs need additional depth to support Trey Smith at guard. Second-year player Kingsley Suamataia, primarily a tackle, has been filling in at the other guard spot due to the lack of depth at the position.

George Karlaftis is among the league’s top EDGE rushers and is under contract for several more years. However, outside of him, the Chiefs have no EDGE players signed beyond this season who have logged a majority of defensive snaps. Ashton Gillotte, a 2025 third-round pick, is one of those under contract, but he has graded poorly in the EDGEi. Until these players prove they can make consistent contributions, EDGE remains a position of need.

The Chiefs’ offense also has two significant areas of concern at the skill positions. Brashard Smith is the only running back under contract beyond this season. Kareem Hunt and Isiah Pacheco have been average performers based on the PFSN Impact Rankings. Finding a productive backfield partner for Patrick Mahomes will be a vital offseason task.

The other area of need is at tight end, given the uncertainty surrounding Travis Kelce’s future beyond this season. Noah Gray has shown potential as a reliable backup, though his performance has dipped this year. The Chiefs must decide whether Gray can step into the starting role or if they should bring in competition for that spot. Regardless of their evaluation of Gray, the team will need to strengthen its depth at tight end.

Las Vegas Raiders

• CB, WR, OT, OG, LB

The Las Vegas Raiders will need to add more cornerbacks, as Darien Porter and Decamerion Richardson are the only two players under contract for next season. Both have played fewer than 40% of defensive snaps this year. Eric Stokes, who is set to become a free agent, could be worth re-signing as he is having one of the best seasons among cornerbacks, according to PFSN’s Impact rankings.

Tre Tucker, a third-round pick in 2023, has shown noticeable improvement this season and appears poised to be a key part of the wide receiver group moving forward. Jakobi Meyers was expected to take on the lead role in 2025, but he hasn’t lived up to that expectation and will be a free agent. Las Vegas will need to improve both the depth and quality of its receiving corps.

Kolton Miller and DJ Glaze have taken most of the snaps at tackle for the Raiders. Miller is in the midst of one of his best seasons, ranking highly on PFSN’s Impact list. Both players are under contract for next season, giving the team a solid offensive line foundation for Ashton Jeanty to run behind. However, Las Vegas will need to add depth at the position to provide stability.

The Raiders have just two guards under contract for next season, with only Jackson Powers-Johnson logging a majority of offensive snaps. Powers-Johnson has graded out as an average performer in PFSN’s Impact rankings. The team must focus on improving both the talent and depth along the interior line during the offseason.

At linebacker, Tommy Eichenberg and Cody Lindenberg are the only two players under contract for 2026. Both have limited defensive experience, leaving Las Vegas with significant work to do in rebuilding the linebacker room in the offseason.

Los Angeles Chargers

• OG, DT, OT, TE, S

The Los Angeles Chargers’ offensive line features Rashawn Slater, who is out for the 2025 season with a knee injury, and Joe Alt at tackle, with Mekhi Becton at guard under contract for next season. Beyond those three, the team has minimal depth at either position. Alt, who suffered an injury in Week 4 of the 2025 season, has been a slightly above-average performer through his first two seasons, according to the PFSN OL Rankings.

The Chargers hope there’s a higher ceiling for Alt, who was the fifth overall pick in the 2024 draft. Becton has been a below-league-average performer this season based on the PFSN OL Rankings.

The team must identify another starting-caliber guard and add depth across the offensive line. Los Angeles will likely need to invest offseason resources — through draft capital, free-agent signings, or both — to ensure the protection in front of Justin Herbert remains strong.

Jamaree Caldwell is the only defensive tackle currently under contract for next season who has played a significant number of defensive snaps. The position group needs both improved performance and added depth heading into 2026.

Tight ends Oronde Gadsden II, Will Dissly, and Tyler Conklin are all signed through the 2026 season. Gadsden has performed above average as a rookie, according to the TEi. Conklin and Dissly have provided limited production as receivers. If Gadsden continues to progress as a pass catcher, it may reduce the Chargers’ need to seek a top-tier tight end.

Safety Tony Jefferson, a pending free agent, ranks as the Chargers’ top performer in the SAFi, with Derwin James Jr. close behind. James should return next season and has been a consistently above-average player throughout his career. Elijah Molden and R.J. Mickens are both expected back but have not graded well this season.

Los Angeles Rams

• RB, CB, S, OT, QB

Kyren Williams has been an above-average performer during his career based on the PFSN RB Impact Rankings. He’s not finding the end zone as often as he did in 2023 and 2024, but he has become a more significant factor in the passing game. Blake Corum, in limited opportunities, has performed well running the ball. However, there’s still room for improvement in the running back group, particularly by adding depth.

The Los Angeles Rams need to address the secondary, with openings at both cornerback and safety for next season. Quentin Lake and Kamren Curl rank near the top of the SAFi this year, but both are set to become free agents after the season. That leaves Kamren Kinchens as the only safety under contract for 2026 who has played more than half the defensive snaps this season.

Darious Williams has consistently graded above average over the past several years, according to the CBi. He remains under contract for next year, as does Emmanuel Forbes, who graded poorly this season. As it stands, the Rams have only two cornerbacks under contract for next year who have played significant defensive snaps.

Starting offensive tackle Alaric Jackson is under contract for next season, but fellow starter Rob Havenstein is set to become a free agent. Los Angeles will need to find another starting tackle and strengthen its depth. Warren McClendon has played over 25% of the offensive snaps this season and could be part of the solution.

Matthew Stafford continues to rank as a top-15 quarterback in the NFL, even in his 17th season. He will be 38 next year and remains under contract through 2026, while backup Jimmy Garoppolo is headed for free agency. The Rams should begin planning for Stafford’s eventual replacement.

Miami Dolphins

• CB, WR, TE, DT, S

It was only a few years ago that the Miami Dolphins boasted one of the league’s elite wide receiver duos in Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. However, both have declined since 2023, and Hill is now a possible cut candidate after suffering a season-ending knee injury in September. Waddle has not matched the production of his first three seasons over the past two years. Beyond Hill, Miami’s receiving corps consists of Waddle and a few other low-producing wideouts returning for next season.

Miami also has a significant need in the secondary after trading Jalen Ramsey to the Steelers before the season. Current starters Rasul Douglas and Jack Jones are performing at or slightly above league average, but both are set to become free agents at the end of the year. Little-used corners Jason Marshall Jr., Jack Jones, and Storm Duck are the only players at the position under contract for next season.

The Dolphins have several defensive tackles under contract for the next few seasons, but inconsistent production has created a need for upgrades. Zach Sieler, 30, has delivered some above-average performances, but overall, the group has been average or below.

At safety, Minkah Fitzpatrick provides a strong presence in the defensive backfield but is under contract only through the 2026 season. Beyond Fitzpatrick, there is little production or experience at the position entering next year. The Dolphins are expected to focus on rebuilding their secondary amid uncertainty and underperformance at both cornerback and safety.

The Ramsey trade also opened a hole at tight end, with Jonnu Smith included in the deal with Pittsburgh. His 88 receptions and eight touchdowns in 2024 will be difficult to replace. Darren Waller, who came out of retirement in 2025, has shown flashes of his old form but lacks consistency. There’s no guarantee he will return to Miami or remain a reliable contributor moving forward.

Minnesota Vikings

• S, CB, RB, EDGE, QB

The Minnesota Vikings’ secondary remains a need that should be addressed. While the team has several defensive backs under contract for next season, the overall performance must improve.

Safeties Josh Metellus, Theo Jackson, and backup Jay Ward are all under contract beyond this season. Metellus ranks as an above-average performer according to the SAFi, but both Jackson and Ward have graded below average. Cornerbacks Byron Murphy and Isaiah Rodgers are also signed for next season, though both have performed below the league average per PFSN’s CB Impact Rankings.

At EDGE, Andrew Van Ginkel, Jonathan Greenard, and Dallas Turner are each set to return next season. Greenard has been one of the top performers at the position based on the EDGEi, while Turner has graded as an average performer. Van Ginkel has missed part of the 2025 season with a neck injury. Minnesota will need to bolster its depth behind the top three edge rushers.

Running back is another area of need, with Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason signed only through 2026. The Vikings should begin searching for a long-term solution at the position, though they can afford to be selective given the current roster stability.

Quarterback remains an unresolved question following the 2024 draft of J.J. McCarthy. The team moved on from Kirk Cousins and Sam Darnold in consecutive offseasons to make way for McCarthy, who has struggled with injuries and has yet to provide the Vikings a complete evaluation of his potential.

New England Patriots

• EDGE, S, TE, OG, LB

The New England Patriots have made a notable leap in performance during their first season under Mike Vrabel. Drake Maye’s second year is validating his status as a quarterback worthy of being selected third overall in 2024. The key for New England will be how effectively they can strengthen their remaining weaknesses.

At EDGE, Harold Landry is proving that last year’s dip in performance was an anomaly rather than the start of a decline. Landry, who is under contract for next season, is grading similarly in EDGEi to his levels from 2019 through 2023. Keion White, also under contract for next season, has struggled well below the league average at the position. The team needs to add depth and improve production alongside Landry.

Robert Spillane has emerged as the Patriots’ top linebacker, performing above the league average according to the LBi. Christian Elliss, on the other hand, ranks near the bottom among NFL linebackers. Both players are under contract for next season, but the Patriots still have room to increase productivity at EDGE and linebacker.

New England has four safeties under contract for next season. Still, Craig Woodson is the only one performing at a league-average level according to the SAFi — the other three grade near the bottom, underscoring a clear need to upgrade the position.

At tight end, Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper are grading at or slightly above average in the PFSN Tight End Rankings. Henry remains under contract for next season, while Hooper is set to enter free agency. The Patriots will need to find a top-tier receiving weapon to aid Maye’s continued development.

New Orleans Saints

• QB, EDGE, CB, LB, OG

The New Orleans Saints signed Derek Carr before the 2023 season, believing they had secured their long-term answer at quarterback. However, a shoulder injury forced Carr to retire abruptly in the spring. New Orleans has since turned to its young signal-callers, having drafted Spencer Rattler in the fifth round in 2024 and Tyler Shough in the second round this year.

Rattler, as the current starter, has performed slightly below league average according to PFSN’s Quarterback Impact rankings. With the Saints likely holding a high pick in the upcoming draft, they could once again look to select a quarterback to upgrade the position.

Demario Davis, now in his 13th season, is set to become a free agent after this year, which would leave a major hole in the Saints’ linebacker group. Pete Werner has been a consistently steady presence since joining the team in 2021, but New Orleans will need to strengthen its overall depth at the position moving forward.

The Saints have invested heavily at cornerback in recent years, drafting Alontae Taylor in the second round in 2022 and Kool-Aid McKinstry in the second round in 2024. Veteran Isaac Yiadom, now in his seventh season, is under contract for next year. However, Taylor, McKinstry, and Yiadom have all struggled in 2025, ranking well below average on CBi. New Orleans will likely need to reassess the position heading into 2026.

EDGE Cameron Jordan, now in his 14th season, is a free agent after this year, leaving Carl Granderson and Chris Rumph II as the only edge rushers currently under contract for 2026. Given their inconsistent production, expect the Saints to pursue upgrades at the position.

The Saints currently have four guards — Cesar Ruiz, Nick Saldiveri, Torricelli Simpkins III, and Asim Richards — under contract for next season. However, the group has underperformed, with none approaching league-average levels in OLi. Improving the talent at guard will be critical to stabilizing the offensive front and supporting the team’s next quarterback.

New York Giants

• OT, TE, OG, LB, CB

The New York Giants appear to have addressed their quarterback needs with the selection of Jaxson Dart in the most recent draft. However, several offensive positions still require attention to maximize Dart’s potential.

At offensive tackle, former top-four pick Andrew Thomas is having one of his better seasons after a rocky start to his career. He ranked 58th among NFL offensive tackles in PFSN’s Impact rankings during his 2020 rookie season but has shown steady improvement since.

The other starting tackle, Jermaine Eluemunor, is having an above-average season but will be a free agent. New York will likely need to replace him through the draft or free agency, though the team does have other offensive tackles under contract who could compete for the starting role.

Guard is another area along the offensive line that needs attention this offseason. Jon Runyan Jr. has one more year remaining on his contract, while the other starter, Greg Van Roten, will become a free agent. Both players have graded as average performers in PFSN’s Impact rankings.

The Giants will need to add depth at tight end, as Theo Johnson is currently the only player at the position under contract. Johnson has performed well, ranking in the Top 50 for his position in PFSN’s Impact rankings.

At linebacker, Bobby Okereke has taken nearly every defensive snap for the Giants, but the team needs to improve the overall quality of the group. Darius Muasau, in his second year, has logged almost half the defensive snaps this season. Beyond Okereke and Muasau, there isn’t much returning experience at the position.

The cornerback position offers an opportunity to continue building depth. Cordale Flott’s contract expires after this season, during which he has ranked highly in CBi. Paulson Adebo and Andru Phillips have both performed above average and will return next season. However, Deonte Banks, a first-round pick in 2023, has seen his defensive snap count drop dramatically from around 75% in his first two seasons to less than 30% this year.

New York Jets

• QB, DT, WR, S, OG

The New York Jets took a flyer on free agent Justin Fields, signing him to a two-year contract before the 2025 season. Fields followed Aaron Rodgers and Zach Wilson, both of whom fell short of expectations. So far, he has ranked among the lowest quarterbacks in PFSN’s QB Impact ratings. With New York likely picking near the top of the 2026 draft, the team could look to select its next franchise quarterback.

Garrett Wilson will be the Jets’ top wide receiver next season, but beyond him, the position is full of uncertainty. If the team moves on from Fields, a new quarterback will need upgraded targets. Adding another receiver to complement Wilson and Breece Hall should be a priority.

Quinnen Williams, under contract through 2027, continues to perform as one of the league’s best defensive tackles. He has posted a Top 20 finish in PFSN’s Defensive Lineman Impact rankings every year of his career. However, the Jets’ other defensive tackles have performed well below average. Upgrading the position could help maximize Williams’s effectiveness.

Malachi Moore is currently the only Jets safety under contract after this season, and his SAFi sits well below league average. Tony Adams, a pending free agent, has been a steady, average performer in each of his three seasons and could be a logical candidate to re-sign to help stabilize the position.

The Jets also need to strengthen their offensive line, particularly at guard. Joe Tippmann, who has shifted between guard and center, has one year remaining on his contract and has been an above-average performer over the past two seasons. Every other guard, including starter John Simpson, is set to become a free agent.

Pittsburgh Steelers

• QB, WR, OT, CB, OG

The Pittsburgh Steelers have never had a losing season under head coach Mike Tomlin. Over the last few seasons, they have found ways to maintain a winning record despite instability at quarterback. Ben Roethlisberger was Tomlin’s starting quarterback for the coach’s first 15 seasons.

Since Roethlisberger’s retirement, Tomlin has started Mitchell Trubisky, Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph, Justin Fields, and Russell Wilson over the past three years. In 2025, Pittsburgh appears to have found quarterback stability with Aaron Rodgers, who turns 42 during the season. However, finding a long-term solution remains a top priority as the team heads into the offseason.

DK Metcalf was acquired from Seattle after the team traded George Pickens to Dallas during the offseason. Metcalf signed an extension through 2029 when he was acquired for a 2025 second-round pick. The Steelers can build their wide receiver group around Metcalf, but it remains an area of need since no other receiver under contract has provided any meaningful production this season.

At offensive tackle, Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu have taken a significant number of offensive snaps this season and are under contract through 2026 and 2028. Both Jones and Fautanu have received below-average grades in the OLi. The Steelers will need to add depth behind them, as no other tackles with notable experience are under contract for next season.

Pittsburgh faces a similar situation at guard after this season. Only starter Mason McCormick — who has played at an above-average level according to the OLi — and backup Spencer Anderson are under contract for 2026. McCormick has taken a high percentage of offensive snaps, while Anderson has played less than 25 percent. Isaac Seumalo, who starts opposite McCormick, is set to become a free agent after the season.

Cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who will turn 32 in the middle of next season, remains under contract for three more years. Brandin Echols, Joey Porter Jr., and Cory Trice are also signed through at least 2026. Porter, despite dealing with injuries, has performed well in limited action, ranking near the top of his position in the PFSN CB Rankings. Ramsey has been above average, while Echols has graded as a league-average corner. Pittsburgh will need to continue to build depth around Ramsey going forward.

Philadelphia Eagles

• TE, OG, DT, WR, EDGE

The Philadelphia Eagles transitioned from Zach Ertz to Dallas Goedert as a critical part of the offense. The duo overlapped and played three full seasons together, combining for 377 receptions and 27 touchdowns during that span. After Ertz moved on, Goedert remained productive but never matched Ertz’s numbers at the height of his Eagles career. Now, for the first time in a long while, tight end may be an area Philadelphia needs to upgrade, as Goedert’s production and availability are both declining at the end of his contract.

At wide receiver, the Eagles boast DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown, who have been one of the league’s best duos. Over the previous three seasons, Smith and Brown have performed well above average according to the WRi. Smith remains among the top players at the position, while Brown, after three consecutive top-ten seasons, has slipped to a league-average performer.

Jahan Dotson, acquired from the Commanders, seemed like an ideal third piece to complement Smith and Brown. Dotson and John Metchie III are both set to become free agents after the season. If Brown rebounds, Philadelphia will still need quality depth behind its top two receivers. If Brown continues to decline, the team may need to find a new partner for Smith.

Landon Dickerson’s performance has dipped below his previous three-year standard, when he ranked among the top 20 guards according to the OLi. Tyler Steen shifted from tackle to guard, replacing Mekhi Becton, who signed with the Chargers. Steen and Dickerson are the only two guards under contract for next season, so Philadelphia will need to add depth at the position.

The Eagles will also need to address defensive tackle and EDGE to solidify the defensive line. The need here is driven more by contract management than by performance concerns.

At EDGE, Nolan Smith and Jalyx Hunt are the only players under contract beyond this season. Smith has made a significant leap, improving from a well below-average grade to a well above-average one based on the EDGEi. Hunt has performed above the league-average level this season.

Jalen Carter continues to rank among the top defensive tackles in the PFSN Defensive
Tackle Rankings, placing in the top eight in each of his first two seasons. Moro Ojomo and Jordan Davis both showed improvement from last year. Four of the five defensive tackles are set to become free agents after 2026, with only Ty Robinson under contract beyond next season.

San Francisco 49ers

• OT, OG, WR, DT, CB

Colton McKivitz and Trent Williams rank among the top offensive tackles on the OLi. McKivitz is under contract through 2028, while Williams is signed for next season, though the 11-time Pro Bowler will be 38 years old. They are the only two tackles currently signed for next season, so the San Francisco 49ers will, at minimum, need to add depth at the position and possibly prepare to replace one of the best tackles in the league.

Dominick Puni is performing at an above-average level based on the PFSN Impact Rankings, while fellow starting guard Connor Colby is slightly below league average. Both are under contract through 2026, but the team will need to improve depth and potentially seek an upgrade through free agency or the draft.

Considering where the 49ers’ wide receiver group stood a few years ago, it’s surprising that the position is now an area of need. The team traded Deebo Samuel to Washington, and Brandon Aiyuk is recovering from a torn ACL and MCL suffered in October 2024.

Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne are free agents after the season, leaving Ricky Pearsall as the only key receiver under contract for next year. Finding additional playmakers at wide receiver will be crucial as Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle continue to age.

Defensive tackle Jordan Elliott, a pending free agent, is the highest-graded 49ers player at his position on the PFSN Impact Rankings, though his performance remains slightly below league average.

Alfred Collins, selected in the second round of the 2025 draft, has struggled as a rookie and currently grades well below league average. Collins will need to improve significantly for San Francisco to gain value from that investment, but even with his development, the team still needs to upgrade at defensive tackle.

Cornerback Chase Lucas, a free agent after the season, is among the top-graded players at his position on the PFSN Impact Rankings. Renardo Green is playing at an above-average level, while Deommodore Lenoir and Darrell Luter Jr. both grade around league average. There will still be room for improvement in the secondary during the offseason.

Seattle Seahawks

• OT, CB, RB, OC, OG

The Seattle Seahawks have needs at all three offensive line positions heading into the offseason. The team’s unit has ranked near the bottom of the PFSN Team OL Rankings for the past three seasons.

At offensive tackle, Charles Cross and Abraham Lucas both rank above league average on the PFSN Impact Rankings. Rookie guard Grey Zabel sits at league average, while guard Anthony Bradford and center Jalen Sundell are performing slightly below league average.

Cross, Bradford, and Sundell are under contract through 2026, while Lucas and Zabel are signed through 2028. The Seahawks will need to determine whether they have the right answers already on the roster or if upgrades are necessary through free agency and the draft.

Running back Kenneth Walker III, a free agent after this season, has shown improvement from 2024, according to the RBi. Walker has typically performed around league average throughout his career. Zach Charbonnet and Kenny McIntosh, both under contract for next season, provide depth at the position. Charbonnet, however, has graded near the bottom among running backs in 2025 after two seasons of average production.

Seattle must also address the cornerback position this offseason. Only starter Devon Witherspoon and backup Nehemiah Pritchett remain under contract beyond this year. Witherspoon, who missed games earlier this season with a knee injury, ranked in the top 20 among cornerbacks as a rookie based on the CBi but dropped to league average in 2024.

Riq Woolen, the other starting cornerback, and Derion Kendrick are both set to become free agents. Kendrick has graded near the top of all cornerbacks on the PFSN Impact Rankings, while Woolen has regressed to below average in 2025 after finishing in the top 20 in each of the previous three seasons. Witherspoon gives Seattle one proven starter to build the rest of the cornerback group around.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

• TE, DT, OC, RB, QB

Baker Mayfield has continued his career resurgence in 2025 with a third straight Top-15 season, according to the QBi. In 2022, he ranked 33rd when playing for the Rams. Mayfield will be 31 next season, the final year of his contract. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will need to start planning for a post-Baker future, with Teddy Bridgewater as the only other quarterback currently on the roster.

Rachaad White, who becomes a free agent after this season, is performing at an above-average level based on the PFSN RB Impact Rankings. Meanwhile, 2024 breakout star Bucky Irving has been among the lowest-ranked backs in the league this year. Irving, under contract through 2027, was fourth in RBi last season. When evaluating offseason needs, the Buccaneers will need to determine which version of Irving they can expect next season.

Starting tight end Cade Otton is also set to become a free agent after the season, which would leave Payne Durham as the only tight end under contract for 2026 who has played over 20% of the offensive snaps this year. Durham has not proven to be a reliable pass-catcher, so Tampa Bay will need to upgrade both production and depth at the position this offseason.

The Buccaneers will also need to add depth behind center Graham Barton, their 2024 first-round pick. Barton has performed at a league-average level so far in his career, according to the OLi.

At defensive tackle, Vita Vea remains a standout, performing above average based on the PFSN DT Impact Rankings. He is the only player under contract for 2026 who has played more than 40% of the defensive snaps this season.

Vea, who will be 32 and entering the final year of his contract next season, has shown a slight decline from his 2023 and 2024 performances. Tampa Bay needs to invest in depth at the position and identify a potential successor who can provide the same stability Vea has offered since being selected in the first round of the 2018 draft.

Tennessee Titans

WR, CB, EDGE, S, LB

Quarterback Cameron Ward has shown flashes of why he was selected first overall in the draft, but the Tennessee Titans need a significant upgrade in the group he’s throwing to. Calvin Ridley, who remains under contract for next season, has been unable to replicate his 2020 production. The rest of Tennessee’s receiving corps has also underperformed, failing to provide Ward with the support needed to accelerate his development.

L’Jarius Sneed, acquired in a blockbuster trade from the Chiefs after the 2023 season, missed most of 2024 with a quad injury and has yet to return to his 2023 form. Beyond Sneed, Tennessee lacks cornerbacks with meaningful experience, leaving the position thin and inconsistent.

EDGE is another area where the Titans need improvement. Young players like Oluwafemi Oladejo, a 2025 second-round pick, have seen extended action but have yet to produce consistently. Currently, the Titans have no players ranked in PFSN’s EDGEi Top 50, underscoring their lack of high-end production.

At safety, Amani Hooker and Xavier Woods have handled the majority of snaps this season and are both under contract for next year. While depth isn’t a concern at the position, the Titans lack true playmakers on the back end and will need to address that going forward.

Linebacker, however, is the opposite situation. Cedric Gray and Cody Barton are both having strong seasons and are under contract for next year, giving Tennessee reliable starters. The team’s focus will likely be on adding depth behind them to round out the unit.

Washington Commanders

• WR, RB, LB, EDGE, OG

With Jayden Daniels at quarterback, the Washington Commanders need to surround him with talent at the skill positions to maximize his potential. They have two key areas of need that must be addressed in the offseason.

Terry McLaurin has been slowed by injuries this season and is the only top wide receiver under contract for next year, while Deebo Samuel Sr. appears headed toward free agency. Samuel has been the only wideout to provide Washington with consistent production. The Commanders will need to find more playmakers to give Daniels reliable options.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt has been one of the top running backs in the PFSN Impact Rankings all season. He has proven capable of handling the RB1 role, but the depth behind him is thin heading into 2026.

Impending free agent Bobby Wagner ranks among the highest-graded linebackers on the PFSN Impact Rankings. Frankie Luvu is the only linebacker under contract who has played significant defensive snaps this year. Still, his performance has declined since his standout 2022 campaign, when he finished as a Top 10 linebacker on the PFSN list. Rebuilding this position group will be a major offseason priority.

Edge rusher Dorance Armstrong, who followed Dan Quinn from Dallas to Washington, is having the best season of his career and remains under contract for next year. Second-year player Javontae Jean-Baptiste will also return, but has played fewer than a quarter of Washington’s defensive snaps this season. Given the lack of depth, EDGE will likely be another area the Commanders look to bolster in the offseason.

Along the offensive line, guard stands out as a pressing need, with only Samuel Cosmi and Nick Allegretti under contract for next season. Cosmi played nearly every offensive snap last year but missed the start of this season while recovering from a torn ACL.
