Top 5 most improved teams during NFL free agency, including the lowly Jets
USA TODAY
After an initial flurry of moves, the NFL free agent market has slowed down. Here are the teams that have made the biggest improvements so far.
The first stage in a long NFL offseason full of roster changes is (mostly) in the books.
The first wave of NFL free agency came and went with the first week of the new league year, which officially began on March 11. Teams around the league started making their first touches on March 9, when the NFL's "legal tampering" window allowed pending free agents and their agents to begin the negotiation process with other teams.
After an flurry of early moves, the free agent market has largely slowed down in the days after the new league year. During that first wave of signings, some teams improved more than others.
Here are five teams that have done the most in free agency to improve their roster outlook going into the 2026 season:
