- 2025 NFL mock draft roundup: Expert predictions after free agency
The NFL's new league year began on March 12 but changes to rosters league-wide began in earnest in the weeks ahead of free agency.
Plenty of big names have changed places during the 2025 NFL offseason to date. From major free agent signings like Sam Darnold and Chris Godwin to trades that have sent Deebo Samuel , DK Metcalf and Laremy Tunsil to locations, NFL rosters will look much different in 2025 than last season.

Some major dominoes are still yet to fall. Notably, NFL fans are waiting with bated breath to see where quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson will end up. Their landing spots could go a long way toward determining how early quarterbacks Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders will be selected in the 2025 NFL draft.
As it stands, many NFL draft analysts are expecting the New York Giants to make a run at a quarterback, whether it's with the No. 3 overall pick or via a trade.
