NFL Teams Identify Key Needs Following Free Agency

The Tennessee Titans have focused on strengthening their roster during the first wave of NFL free agency, particularly addressing their trenches but still face significant needs, especially at quarterback and wide receiver. They signed Brandon Allen as a backup quarterback, which raises questions about Will Levis's future, while adding Van Jefferson to a depleted receiving corps that lost Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. On defense, the Titans aim to improve their pass rush after posting the third-lowest sack total last season, recently acquiring Dre'Mont Jones but still needing more production. Similarly, other teams are evaluating their rosters post-free agency, with the Chicago Bears and Buffalo Bills both looking to bolster their squads through the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft. The Carolina Panthers, while criticized for some of their spending, have made strategic moves to enhance their defense and add depth, particularly in the running back position with the signing of Rico Dowdle. As the second wave of free agency approaches, teams are identifying their most pressing needs and preparing for the draft to address these gaps.
