NFL Free Agents Samuel, Smith, Jones, Ayton Eye Multiple Landing Spots
Several notable NFL free agents are seeking new teams in 2025, with defensive players like Asante Samuel Jr., Jack Jones, and Za'Darius Smith among the most discussed. Samuel Jr., recovering from neck surgery, is expected to sign with a team like the Minnesota Vikings or New Orleans Saints, providing much-needed cornerback depth despite likely accepting a lower-value contract. Jack Jones, known for his playmaking but inconsistent performance and off-field issues, remains a risky but potentially rewarding pickup for teams needing cornerback help, with his salary expected near the veteran minimum. Za'Darius Smith, a seasoned defensive end with a strong recent sack record but a surprisingly quiet market, is linked to potential returns to the Detroit Lions, or possible new roles with the Baltimore Ravens or Denver Broncos, where his experience could bolster pass rush depth. Smith's age and role as a complementary pass rusher rather than a lone star influence his free agency prospects, with interest mostly from teams looking to add rotation talent. These players highlight the varied dynamics of free agency, balancing talent, health, consistency, and team needs.
