NFL 2025: Season Discussion Thread Sportsbook NFL

WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling and the Seahawks have agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $5.5M, per source.

Valdes-Scantling, 30, was acquired by the Saints last season and had a productive stretch as a deep threat for Klint Kubiak, then New Orleans' offensive coordinator and now the OC in Seattle. In five games with quarterback Derek Carr in the second half of the season, he recorded 12 catches for 288 yards and four touchdowns.

The Washington Commanders and Marcus Mariota agreed to terms on a one-year, $8-million deal, according to team and league sources.

In his one season with Washington as the backup to Jayden Daniels, Mariota passed for 364 yards and four touchdowns in three regular-season games, adding another 92 yards and a touchdown rushing.

Joey Bosa is heading to Buffalo in a one-year, $12.6m deal.

A five-time Pro Bowl selection, Bosa has four double-digit sack seasons in his nine-year career. Injuries, however, have limited him to 28 games in the last three seasons. At the very least, he can still contribute as a rotational pass rusher for Buffalo, and possibly more, depending on his health. The Bills needed pass-rushing help after releasing the aging Von Miller on Sunday.

It could be a great addition if he can stay fit.

Former Packers RB A.J. Dillon is signing with the Eagles, per source.

The Lions are re-signing defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike to a one-year, $5.5 million contract, according to multiple reports.

Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence signing with the Seahawks, his agent says. He's linking back up with Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde. Seattle's defense was very good in the second half of 2024 season. This move is an instance of strengthening a strength.

The Seahawks' deal for DeMarcus Lawrence is for three years and worth up to $42 million, with $18 million guaranteed, per source.
