While this is technically the “2024” NFL season, regular season games will bleed into 2025. Week 18 of the schedule will be played entirely during the next calendar year.

Rosters taking shape

The NFL Draft is still on the horizon but most of the big names in free agency have already signed with teams. Some of the biggest transactions of the early spring are as follows.

• Kirk Cousins to the Falcons: Atlanta hasn’t had stability at the QB position since Matt Ryan was slinging darts but the Falcons now have their man in the form of Cousins.
• Russell Wilson to the Steelers: The Steelers also have a new veteran quarterback as Wilson will play for his third NFL team.
• Derrick Henry to the Ravens: Henry will give the Ravens a legit option in the backfield and John Harbaugh hopes he will provide the perfect complement to Lamar Jackson.
