Free agency reaction show: Which moves matter the most?
03/12/25 • 93 min
The NFL's legal tampering window did not disappoint. While the new league year officially begins tomorrow most of the free agency dominoes have already fallen. Yahoo's senior NFL reporter Jori Epstein joins Matt Harmon to break down all the biggest moves and what they mean for the 2025 season and beyond.
The two place all the moves into three buckets: Big brand name moves that change entire teams, moves that move the needle for fantasy and 2025 season and moves that tell us what teams are thinking ahead of the draft:
(3:00) - Big brand name moves: Geno Smith to Vegas, Darnold to Seattle, DK Metcalf to Pittsburgh, Davante Adams to Rams, Commanders big moves, Justin Fields to Jets
(46:00) - Moves that move the needle: Najee Harris to Chargers, Vikings support around JJ McCarthy, Chicago beefs up o-line, Titans spend big on o--line
(1:09:30) - Moves that tell us what teams are thinking: Colts, Bucs, Jaguars and Patriots
