New faces in new places: Five players who are working out with their new teams -- and five who aren't
"Which players have excelled in their new surroundings through 10 weeks, providing strong production to their new teams in 2025? George Pickens' new beginning with the Cowboys and Rico Dowdle's huge campaign with the Panthers have been some of the biggest success stories. But what about players like Dre Greenlaw and Will Fries, who came off injuries. Have they bounced back?"
"The need was clear for Buffalo: Get to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. And so this offseason, the Bills took a shot with Bosa. He was coming off a Pro Bowl season in 2024 for the Chargers but played only 28 games over the three previous seasons due to injuries. Would he be able to bring the improved pass rush that the Bills needed? So far, the answer is yes."
"Bosa, 30, leads the league with an 16.5% pressure rate, according to ESPN Research. That includes a sack and four other pressures against Mahomes in Buffalo's Week 9 victory. Bosa's pass rush win rate isn't at the top of the league, but it is above average for an edge rusher at 13.6% and better than the 11.8% PRWR he had last season. He has only four sacks but leads the league with four forced fumbles."
Five offseason additions have worked out through 10 weeks of the 2025 NFL season, and five have not. Nick Bosa has improved Buffalo’s pass rush, leading the league with a 16.5% pressure rate and four forced fumbles despite having only four sacks and coming off injury-shortened seasons. Buffalo’s pass rush win rate for Bosa sits at 13.6%, higher than his 11.8% PRWR from last season. George Pickens and Rico Dowdle are cited as major offensive success stories with strong production. The evaluation also considers players returning from injury, such as Dre Greenlaw and Will Fries, and stresses ongoing health and availability concerns for key signees.
