With the flood of deals from the first few days of NFL free agency down to a trickle this week, it might feel like free agency is over. It’s not. There’s still plenty of work to be done for teams that need to fill holes on their roster, including the Super Bowl champion Chiefs and many of the teams they beat along the way.
Let’s get into some of the biggest remaining roster holes that were created by offseason departures. I’m also going to cover what each team has done to try to solve those issues and what might be next, either by signing players over the next few months or using picks in April’s NFL draft. We’ll start in Baltimore and hit nine teams (in no order):
Jump to a team with an issue:
Broncos | Chargers | Chiefs
Cowboys | Falcons | Giants
Rams | Ravens | Saints
Out: G John Simpson, G Kevin Zeitler, OT Morgan Moses
The Ravens have a long-standing reputation for being comfortable with letting offensive linemen leave in free agency. They’ve usually wanted to lock down the left tackle spot — where Ronnie Stanley took a pay cut to stay with the team — and they made an exception in the past for star guard Marshal Yanda, but they have let standouts Kelechi Osemele (2016) and Ryan Jensen (2018) walk out the door in the past decade, trusting they could find replacements in the draft or at a reasonable price in free agency.
