As the NFL offseason progresses, several prominent players are still in search of new contracts, with teams evaluating their rosters to fill key positions. Among the notable names is Allen, a receiver who has yet to meet the high expectations set when he was traded last March. Despite being a No. 2 receiver in 2025, Allen's performance has not mirrored his previous success. His 57 open score ranks him 64th in the league, a stark contrast to his top ranking in 2023. Allen is likely eyeing a one-year deal similar to those secured by Williams and DeAndre Hopkins, valued around $5 million. Teams requiring a veteran presence to support their quarterbacks may find Allen an appealing option.
In other developments, Robinson's performance on the line has faced scrutiny. According to NFL Next Gen Stats, Robinson allowed a 17% pressure rate in one-on-one situations from Week 8 onward—the highest in the league for any lineman. Such statistics highlight areas for improvement as teams consider bolstering their offensive lines.
Dobbins, another player navigating the free-agent market, has had a career marred by injuries. Last season, he was placed on injured reserve for four games due to a knee sprain. Despite these setbacks, Dobbins demonstrated resilience upon his return from an Achilles injury, averaging 4.6 yards per carry and achieving a career-high 195 carries. His standout performances in the first two games of the season resulted in 266 rushing yards, showcasing his potential when healthy.
Defensive players are also making headlines, with White exhibiting solid performance metrics. White maintained a reasonable missed tackle rate of 5.5% and contributed 2.5 sacks and eight knockdowns as a blitzer. His consistent play could attract teams seeking defensive reinforcement.
Meanwhile, Diggs, who was traded by the Bills to the Texans for a second-round pick last offseason, finds himself in a unique situation. The Texans voided the remaining years of Diggs' contract to motivate him during what has become a contract year. This move underscores the Texans' strategy to maximize Diggs' performance during this pivotal period.
