2025 NFL Free Agency Week 1 Roundup: Chiefs let Patrick Mahomes down, Jayden Daniels gets elite protection, and more

The 2025 NFL Free Agency ended with many top players changing hands with others re-signing and committing to their current team. Big movements included a quarterback carousel that saw Geno Smith go from Seattle to Las Vegas with Sam Darnold coming in from the Vikings to become the Seahawks' presumptive starter.

On the other hand, Myles Garrett stayed with the Browns, despite asking to be traded earlier, after getting a $40 million contract. The Eagles lost some players but brought back Saquon Barkley.

Some teams strengthened significantly with both second-year starters, Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels, getting help with their offensive line. Patrick Mahomes, meanwhile, did not get much help as he lost Joe Thuney and the Chiefs did not add any receivers either.

Here's a roundup of the first week of the 2025 NFL Free Agency, organized by free agent signings, trades, and re-signed players.
