"Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season is underway, and more than half of the league's teams still have solid playoff hopes. Seventeen of them hold at least a 40% chance to make it to the postseason, according to ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI). The other 15 franchises -- including six with two or fewer wins -- might already be shifting their focus to free agency and the draft, where they'll address roster holes and make offseason improvements. But where are the weaknesses?"
"We called on our NFL reporters and analysts to take an early look at the biggest offseason needs for all 32 teams, starting with NFL analyst Aaron Schatz picking out two positions that need upgrades for each roster. Then our NFL Nation reporters named pending free agents to watch, and draft experts Matt Miller and Jordan Reid found prospects who could fit with each organization."
Seventeen NFL teams currently have at least a 40% chance to reach the 2025 postseason, according to ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI). Fifteen franchises, including six with two or fewer wins, are likely to prioritize free agency and the draft to address roster holes and make offseason improvements. Analysts identified two positions needing upgrades for each team, reporters flagged pending free agents to watch, and draft experts matched prospects to organizational needs. The Arizona Cardinals face a right tackle with injury history and a $12.8 million salary who has played only 15 of 27 games, and a tight end who has not fully met early-career expectations despite 47 receptions and 434 yards this season.
