NFL Free Agency 2025: Teams with Most Salary Cap Space Ahead of Monday's Signings

NFL free agency has arrived. The market is set to unofficially open at noon ET on Monday with the legal-contact window. While free-agent deals can't be finalized until the new league year begins on Wednesday, agreements will pour through the news wire over the next two days.

Actually, the flurry of early signings has already begun. A number of notable deals were struck over the weekend as some teams moved to lock up key players and others looked to improve their cap situations.

As a result, a few top players on Bleacher Report's free agent big board are now off the market, including Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley and Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton. We also have a clearer idea of which franchises will have the most cap space with which to attack free agency.

Here, you'll find a look at every team's updated cap situation and some of the biggest storylines heading into the opening day of free agency.

Latest Developments and Free Agency Preview

Bills QB Josh Allen

Fans who weren't tracking the NFL news wire over the weekend missed quite a lot. Things started getting interesting on Friday, when the Seattle Seahawks traded quarterback Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders.

A trickle of signings were announced on Saturday before a flood of moves came through on Sunday.

Sunday's action included the Los Angeles Rams signing free agent receiver Davante Adams to a two-year, $46 million deal and the Kansas City Chiefs extending linebacker Nick Bolton on a three-year, $45 million extension.

The Seattle Seahawks traded wide receiver DK Metcalf to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a 2025 second-round pick, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport.

The Cleveland Browns also announced an extension with pass-rusher Myles Garrett that will make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Garrett's extension will ensure that the star defender stays in Cleveland for the foreseeable future. It also puts an end to any drama that stemmed from Garrett's trade request earlier in the offseason.

Oh, and while teams were busy adding talent and locking up players they could potentially lose this offseason, the Buffalo Bills extended quarterback Josh Allen with a new six-year, $330 million contract.

At this point, fans may be wondering if there's actually any intrigue left for free agency week. The short answer is "absolutely."
