Ten Veteran Free Agent Acquisitions That Could Make A Huge Impact

These ten veterans could make a huge impact for their new teams.

Free agency is well underway, and these nine free agent signings could make a huge impact next season.

Seattle Seahawks Sign DE Demarcus Lawrence

Yes, Lawrence mised most of last year with a Lisfranc injury. but, before the injury, he was dominant. Lawrence has long been one of the better edge rushers in the NFL, and given the contract, 3 years $42 milion, and $18 million guaranteed, it’s a great price for a veteran that could make a huge impact.

Buffalo Bills Sign Edge Joey Bosa

Bosa has struggled to stay healthy lately, and he hasn’t had a double-digit sack season since 2021. But, we know what he can do when he’s healthy. He will only be 30 this upcoming season, and the price tag of one-year, $12.6 million is fantastic.

Las Vegas Raiders Sign S Jeremy Chinn

Chinn was a steady presence for the Commanders defense in 2024, and he’s going to be the same for the Raiders in 2025. He signed a two-year, $16 million deal with $12 million guaranteed with the team.

Los Angeles Chargers Sign RB Najee Harris

I think Najee Harris to Los Angeles is one of the best fits of any free agent signing of the cycle. He will be more productive in a functional offense, and a base salary of just over $5 million in 2025 is a steal.

Tennessee Titans Sign Kevin Zeitler

Kevin Zeitler may not make the Hall of Fame, but he will at least get some votes. And, despite having just turned 35, he was still one of the best guards in football. He’s going to provide stability to a young and talented offensive line at the cost of just $9 million next year.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sign Haason Reddick

Let’s face it, the 2024 season for Reddick was a disaster. A holdout after an offseason trade sent him from Philadelphia to the Jets essentially ruined his season. But, he’s one of the game’s best pass-rushers, and the one-year, $14 million deal is a fantastic price.

Pittsburgh Steelers Sign CB Darius Slay

Slay was a sensational Eagle, helping lead the team to two Super Bowl appearances and one title. He was merely a cap casualty in Philadelphia, as the team rejuvenated the corner room with rookies Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell. He isn’t the All-Pro he once was, but he can absolutely still help a team, and will help Pittsburgh nxt year. The one-year, $10 million contract is reasonable.

Denver Broncos Sign TE Evan Engram

Evan Engram won’t give you anything as a run-blocker. But, as a pass-catcher, he’s one of the better tight ends in the league. Tight end has been a longstanding weakness in Denver, he will give Bo Nix a reliable option underneath. Two years, $23 million, with $16.5 million guaranteed is a solid price.

New England Patriots Sign Morgan Moses

The Patriots need to keep Drake Maye upright this year so he can continue to develop. Enter Morgan Moses. Moses took a big step back in 2024, but had been one of the league’s best tackles the few years prior. For just $8 million AAV for the next three years, the 34 year old could be a steal.

Los Angeles Chargers Sign Mike Williams

When healthy, the former Chargers first-rounder was one of the better receivers in the NFL in a five-year stretch from 2019-2023. He split time between the Jets and Steelers in 2024 after he was released as a cash casualty by the Chargers last offseason. It didn’t go well. Now, he’s back with Justin Herbert in a familiar environment, and at just $6 million, bringing in the vet is well worth the risk.
