NFL Teams Exhibit Early Regret Over High-Profile Offseason Free Agent Signings

Several NFL teams are already expressing regret over key offseason signings that have not met expectations early in the 2025 season. The Seattle Seahawks brought back cornerback Shaquill Griffin but have since relegated him to the practice squad due to inconsistent performance and injuries among other cornerbacks. The Las Vegas Raiders signed veteran running back Raheem Mostert to back up rookie Ashton Jeanty, but Mostert has been inactive despite the team's struggling rushing attack. The Chicago Bears' aggressive offensive line trade for Jonah Jackson has backfired, as Jackson has been one of the worst performers with multiple penalties and pressures allowed early in the season. The Philadelphia Eagles signed Azeez Ojulari as a backup pass rusher, but he has yet to see regular-season action, remaining inactive in the first two games. Lastly, the New York Giants are facing buyer's remorse over Jevón Holland, whose decline in performance has contributed to the team's poor defense, raising questions about the decision to pass on re-signing Xavier McKinney.
