NFL Teams Confront Key Roster Flaws for 2025

As NFL teams prepare for the 2025 season, several franchises face critical roster challenges that could shape their prospects. The Chicago Bears rely on rookie quarterback Caleb Williams but need a stronger running game, while the Minnesota Vikings hope JJ McCarthy can overcome a difficult rookie season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers confront injuries to key offensive players, including Tristan Wirfs, which may undermine their early performance. The New Orleans Saints are dealing with leadership changes, retirements, and severe salary cap constraints that threaten their competitiveness. The Houston Texans, despite high expectations, must improve their offensive line to protect CJ Stroud and address defensive depth, while the Cleveland Browns face looming uncertainty on their offensive line due to contracts expiring in 2026. These unresolved roster flaws will be central as teams enter training camp and pursue Super Bowl contention in 2025.
