The NFL offseason is in full swing as the league prepares for the draft in Green Bay later this week. That's the third major event of the offseason calendar after the combine and the start of free agency in March.
At this point, most teams have finalized their coaching staffs and front office personnel following firings and departures after the 2024 NFL season. It's time for teams to look forward and prepare for decisions on the draft and continue to make moves in free agency, including whether or not to retain their own talent.
As all 32 NFL teams make these decisions, more than half are dealing with another dilemma: whether or not to pick up the fifth-year option for specific players.
