Despite making several picks in the NFL draft, the Washington Commanders are actively exploring opportunities to strengthen their roster ahead of training camp. Assistant GM Lance Newmark confirmed their interest in free agents, including recent signing Matt Gay. Among potential targets are veteran pass rushers Von Miller and Za'Darius Smith, both of whom bring significant experience and production. Miller, while aging, had an impressive season with the Buffalo Bills, while Smith excelled with the Lions. In the secondary, Justin Simmons and Julian Blackmon could bolster a young safety corps. Additionally, J.K. Dobbins stands out as a running back option to enhance Washington's ground game, which struggled last season.

The Los Angeles Rams have made significant moves in the recent 2025 NFL Draft, focusing on enhancing their offensive backfield. Pro Bowler Kyren Williams is joined by rookie Jarquez Hunter, selected in the fourth round. However, analyst Ian Valentino believes that the Rams should add another key player to their backfield—free agent J.K. Dobbins, previously a standout for the Chargers. Valentino argues that a duo of Williams and Dobbins would be more effective than Williams' partnership with last year’s rookie, Blake Corum.

Dobbins brings explosive speed and efficiency, having ranked among the top running backs in various metrics despite limited carries due to injuries. If signed, his role can be managed to keep him fresh, especially given the versatile options the Rams now have with Williams, Corum, and Hunter. The Rams aim to fortify their ground game, making them a formidable offensive unit in the upcoming season.

The Los Angeles Chargers and Cleveland Browns have applied unrestricted free agent tenders to running back J.K. Dobbins and wide receiver Elijah Moore, respectively, as part of the NFL's latest transactions. This move allows both players to become part of the compensatory draft formula for the 2026 draft if they sign with another team before July 22. If not, their current teams will retain exclusive negotiation rights.

The tender for Dobbins is estimated at $1.1 million, while Moore's is set at approximately $3.43 million. Dobbins, coming off the best season of his career in 2024, led the Chargers with 905 rushing yards after recovering from an Achilles injury. Meanwhile, Moore recorded a career-high 61 receptions for 538 yards last season, with interest from the Buffalo Bills during his free agent visit. The Browns recently added veteran Diontae Johnson to their receiving corps as well.

After the 2025 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears bolstered their roster with significant signings, yet several gaps remain that can be filled through free agency. They've acquired notable players like center Drew Dalman and defensive tackle Grady Jarrett, but more talent is needed to enhance their offense and defense.

Potential targets include running backs Nick Chubb and J.K. Dobbins, both of whom are recovering from injuries but could provide valuable depth and mentorship. Linebackers Shaq Thompson and Isaiah Simmons offer veteran experience; while safety Marcus Maye presents a proven option for a position the Bears neglected in the draft. These free agents could effectively complement the existing roster and contribute significantly to the team's future.
