Offseason needs for all 32 teams

by | Feb 7, 2015

The new league year in the NFL begins on March 10. On that day, teams can begin pursuing free agents with big money and hard sells, hoping to improve their clubs before the NFL Draft, which takes place April 30-May 2 in Chicago.

Some teams will be looking to add a simple piece or two, building on an already-strong foundation. Others, like the Oakland Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars, are flush with available cap space and will aim to bring in major players who can make a high impact.
