2025 Free Agency

Presented by

NFL salary cap set at record high for 2025

NFL-FOOTBALL-RIDER

With free agency opening in less than two weeks, the NFL set the 2025 salary cap at $279.2 million per club. That is another record-high number after teams operated with $255.4 million in 2024.

"We have the resources to improve the roster," general manager Joe Schoen said Tuesday at the NFL Scouting Combine. "And that's what is exciting about this time of the year."

Schoen, who also holds the No. 3 pick in the draft, said the Giants are having free agent conversations this week in Indianapolis. Starters Greg Van Roten, Darius Slayton and Jason Pinnock are set to become unrestricted free agents.

"Two weeks from now, the roster will look different," he said.

In terms of the most important position in sports, the Giants will "look under every rock" for a quarterback. If they draft a young QB, Schoen would like to pair him with a veteran to show him how to be a pro.

"We're going to look at all options," Schoen said. "We're going to look at all options. It's the most important position in football. We need to look through free agency, trades, draft, whatever it is, and we need better play out of the position."

Following a two-day negotiating period, the 2025 league year and signing period will begin at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 12. As the Giants approach those checkpoints, here is a look at which players are set to become free agents:
